School seemed to drag for Warren. He wanted to talk to Raven so badly that it was driving him insane. And when it finally ended, he almost shot up from his seat.

" So are we all still in for The Paper Lantern?" Ice asked as she took his hand. Warren stiffened a little, then replied.

" I hope so, Raven seemed to act really weird today." He remembered Raven's sudden outburst of rage outside and cringed. " But if not, then we cam still go together." He and Ice walked onto the bus and sat with Kelly and Jess.

" Have you guys seen Raven around?" Kelly asked. Ice shook her head.

" Not sense lunch, why?" she looked at Jess. " Do you think she's ok?" Jess sighed.

" I hope so, but she has been acting really weird sense homecoming." She gave Warren a stern look. Warren didn't know what to say. He knew Raven always liked him, she never said anything about it.

" Maybe she'll turn up at the paper Lantern." Kelly said as he slumped back in his seat. As the bus drove to drop off the gang, Warren looked around for Raven. She wasn't on the bus. Then, as the group entered the restaurant, they saw Raven sitting in a corner alone. Warren' s heart raced for some strange reason. Raven's hair was the same color as his, and she finally put it in a loose bun. She wore a black tank and black faded jeans with rips at the knees.

" Hey Raven!" Ice shouted. Warren cringed at the thought of Raven bursting into flames right there and then, but she just looked over and stared at them.

" Hey we missed you today." Jess sat across from Raven, which didn't please Kelly sense he loved to sit across from her.

" Hey Ray, do you mind if we switch places?" He didn't want to be demanding. Warren saw the ' what did you say expression' on her face and shook his head.

" Jess can move down and I'll sit across from Ray." He said as Kelly moved. Ice looked at Raven whom was already in a bad mood, and decided to make matters worse.

" I'll sit by Raven." she giggled as she moved from her spot next to Warren. " So Raven why did you bail on us today?" she knew why, she just wanted to hear Raven admit she loved Warren.

" Maybe I felt like it." She scowled. Then, a waitress came by and asked what they wanted. Warren was uneasy about Ice being so close to Raven. Raven had a very fragile attitude, once you get her pissed that's it for you unless someone has the guts to stop her. Ice wasn't helping.

" But Raven you don't have to be jealous." she made her attack. She was the hungry lion, and Raven was the deer cornered. Warren's pulse skyrocketed. Jess and Kelly stopped talking, and looked at Ice, then at Raven.

" What did you say?" Raven was giving off very dangerous heat. Warren's eyes widened as he saw Raven's eyes glow a pale blue, the color of her fire. Ice smiled.

" You know Raven, you being jealous and all, its ok, there's nothing to be ashamed of." She tried to make herself sound reassuring, but Raven wasn't taking it that way. She slowly turned her head at Ice and glared.

" What the hell would I be jealous about?" her fists her beginning to flare up. Warren knew that Ice had crossed the line.

" Hey guys c'mon lets just stop the comments and be quiet." Kelly interjected. Raven shot him a glare.

" You shut up! Ice tell me, what am I jealous about?" she waited for Ice's response. Ice smiled and looked at Warren.

" I know it's hard for you. But Warren and I are going out now, you have to move on." She patted Raven's shoulder and giggled. " Warren you and I should do this more often." Warren raised an eyebrow. Raven held back her anger and wanting to kill Ice right there. Warren loved Ice, and if Ice was keeping Warren happy, then so be it.

" Do what?" he looked into Ice's blue eyes. She smiled and thought of another plan.

" Ya know have our friends with us.. O hey maybe we can catch a movie sometime. A scary movie. You know the ones that would make couples hold each other's hands." Raven's mind filled with little thoughts of Ice burning in miserable hell. Ice looked at Raven. " So Ray.. what do you think? Does a scary movie sound good?" she smiled like her preppy self and then looked at Warren.

" Fine whatever." Raven took a bite of her chicken. Ice let out an excited squeal.

" Great! Warren you could sit between Ray and me. This is going to be the greatest date ever." She took a drink of her soda.

" Umm when are we going to do this?" Kelly asked as he leaned in on the conversation.

" Tonight I guess. If that's ok with Raven." Ice looked at Raven whom just rolled her eyes. Warren didn't know what to say, Ice was trying her hardest to annoy Raven and it was working.

" Sure, why not?" Raven let out a sigh as she finished her meal. When the others were done, they squeezed into Warren's car. Warren drove and Ice had to be on front with him. Kelly and Jessica carried on in the back seat with poor Raven there too. Warren looked in the mirror and saw that Raven looked miserable. She was going through all of this just for him.
