Chapter 17

Bianca, Muffy and Loca walked up to Chelsea's house and sat down on the stoop.

"Chelsea Daniels…" Loca muttered continuously, laughing a little. It wasn't a happy laugh, though. It was the kind of laugh you got from someone who was so mad that right after the laugh, a scream and some sort of violence usually followed.

"What do we do now?" Muffy asked Bianca.

"We wait." Bianca said angrily.

Loca stood up. "No. I'm sick and tired of waiting."

"What?" Both Bianca and Muffy said at the same time.

"You think they're in there? They probably went out the back door and are long gone! I don't care anymore. If Raven wants to ditch us for that freak, that's fine."

"But what are you going to do? What's going to happen?" Muffy asked, very worried about the future of their posse. It looked as if they were breaking up. This life was the only life she knew. If the posse was over, then her life was over.

"I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to go home, take a shower, take a nap, and start fresh. I'm tired of being someone's follower. It's time to do my own thing. And if you're smart, y'all will do the same thing. I'm out."

Then, Loca left.

"Loca, wait! This is crazy!" Muffy called after her, but Loca didn't turn around. Bianca stood there, angrier than ever.

"We don't need her!" Bianca told Muffy, and then shouted, " Forget you! We'll catch Raven…" Bianca yelled and then trailed off, "by ourselves…"

Bianca turned to Muffy. "Are you going to wait here? Or are you going to ditch me too?"

Muffy shook her head. "No. I'll wait."

The two once powerful but now utterly pathetic bullies sat on the Daniels' stoop, waiting for someone that would never show up.

"No. No you don't understand!" Raven said breathlessly.

"I'm sorry." Samantha said sympathetically. Usually, a sales clerk just says that to keep the customer from attacking them…but it seemed as it Samantha really meant it.

Raven gripped on to the counter for support; hot tears began to spill down her cheeks. This couldn't be happening. This was her only chance to get back to her world…the real world, and Samantha couldn't help her.

Chelsea stepped up. She had seen enough. "All right. I don't know what kind of game you're playing here, but there is no way you can't help my friend. There must be some way to reverse the wish. There HAS to be a way!"

Raven looked at Chelsea in both surprise and gratitude.

Samantha seemed to be battling within herself. There were several moments of intense silence as Raven and Chelsea waited for a response. Raven started to take deep breaths, she found herself becoming calmer.

Samantha closed her eyes. "There…there is one way. But, I'm not really sure, so don't get all excited." She added quickly.

Chelsea smiled a little and Raven sucked in a large amount of air. The world that had just shattered in her mind began to do a reverse, and piece itself back together. There was some hope after all.

"Well, what is it?" Chelsea asked impatiently.
