Chapter 6
The alarm clock buzzed in Raven's ear. She reached over to it with a lazy hand and smacked the "off" button. Slowly getting out of bed, she sighed. Today wasThursday and she really didn't feel like going, but like Chelsea said, she had to face it. Raven wondered what plan her mother and father had come up with.
After showering and putting on one of her more comfortable outfits: A red shirt, her jeans with the flames on the bottom and her black sneakers with the flames on them, Raven went downstairs almost ready to face the day.
"Mom, Dad, I want to talk to you guys." Raven said, coming into the kitchen. To her surprise, Corey was the only one in there, eating a bowl of cereal.
"Hey, where are Mom and Dad?" Raven asked, grabbing a banana.
Corey looked around. "You talking to me?"
"Yeah, who else would I be talking to?"
"You never talk to me, unless you feel like insulting me."
"What? What are you talk—listen, I need to talk to Mom and Dad about my problem." Raven practically yelled. Corey was getting on her nerves.
"Mom and Dad are at work knucklehead. What, are you failing biology again?" Corey said, finishing up his bowl of cereal and placing the bowl in the sink.
"I don't even have biology! Anyway, you know the whole psychic problem."
Corey looked at Raven as if she had three heads. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the fact that everyone knows I'm psychic. You know." Raven was really starting to become annoyed.
Corey just stared at Raven for a few moments, and then said. "If you're psychic, I'm the Queen of England."
And then, Corey left.
"Wait, a minute. Corey!" Raven yelled, chasing after her brother.
Corey was in the living room getting his backpack ready. "What now?"
"What did you mean back there? You mean to say that I'm not psychic?"
"I think you're psychotic, but you ain't psychic. You never were."
"I wasn't?"
"No." Corey said, tired of the conversation. "Viv is the only psychic in the family. Sorry to bust your bubble. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to school."
Raven turned around and bit her lip. "The magic birthday candle worked!" She whispered with glee. "I'm not psychic."
Corey put on his backpack and walked to the door. Opening it, Corey was almost trampled by Bianca, Loca and Muffy.
"Oh great. The posse's here." Corey said dryly.
"Beat it squirt before I flatten you under my shoe." Loca shot back, lifting her foot in the air.
Corey rolled his eyes and left.
Raven stood up quickly, frightened and wondering why they were at her house. Muffy was the first to address her. "Rae, no! I thought you said we were wearing blue today!"
Raven then noticed their outfits. Bianca wore a tight navy blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots. Muffy wore a nice blue button down blouse tucked into a blue, black, grey and white plaid skirt with white knee-highs and black shoes. Loca wore a blue hoodie sweatshirt with blue Adidas pants and black sneakers.
"What's up Rae, you change your mind?" Bianca said next.
Raven didn't even know what to say. Were they her friends? Just a few days ago, they made her life miserable.
"Yo boss, you feeling okay?" Loca asked, noticing her shocked face.
"I'm sorry. Are we friends?" Raven asked quickly and braced for the response.
"Of course we are silly!" Muffy said happily, and then became worried. "We are your friends, aren't we?"
Bianca, Muffy and Loca looked at Raven anxiously. It seemed as if it would be the end of the world if Raven told them "no."
Raven thought quickly, shaking her head. "Um…yes. Yes we are friends."
The three girls collectively sighed in relief. Muffy spoke up, "Good because I did not want a repeat of last week."
"What's up with you Rae, you're acting really freaky." Bianca said.
"I'm sorry. I…I hit my head this morning, so I can't really remember stuff. You guys are gonna have to fill me..."
Bianca, Muffy and Loca exchanged glances and then shrugged. "Okay." Bianca said.
"Do you want the long version or the short one?" Muffy asked.
"Um, gimme the short one."
"Check it; we four are Bayside's worst nightmare." Loca stated menacingly.
"And you are our fearless leader." Muffy exclaimed, proud of the fact for some strange reason.
"I am?" Raven asked, confused.
"Yeah girl. First it was you, me, Muffy and Alana, but then when Alana's parents sent her to military school, you let Bianca join."
"We rule the school with an iron fist." Bianca said.
"We show no mercy." Loca stated, rubbing her hands together threateningly.
"And we look great doing it." Muffy finished as they all laughed.
As the girls continued to laugh, Raven wondered why she would be friends with these people in this, "world."
"So, are we ready to go?" Bianca asked after they calmed down. "I've got two freshmen waiting for me to give them wedgies before first period."
Muffy pulled out her notepad and a pen. "Raven, your morning is clear but you have two appointments during lunch."
Still reeling from her role in this world, Raven turned to Muffy and asked, "Appointments with whom?"
"Um, one is with Martin Lewis to discuss a lunch money payment schedule," Muffy checked on her list, "And the other is with Ed—never mind." Muffy said quickly, crossing something off her notepad with force.
"O…kay." Raven said confused.
Looking around to see if anything had changed, and noticing that nothing was significantly different, except for her social life, Raven sighed.
"Well, let's get going."
The four girls headed out of the house, Raven's mind racing. Maybe Raven could get some more insight from Eddie and Chelsea at school. That is, if she could steal herself away from her, "followers."
