The next morning, Raven woke up feeling a little better than the night before. Ice was still on her mind, but the fact that Warren had stayed close to her the night before had helped her pull through the emotional maelstrom that she had been. She looked over her shoulder to see Warren still asleep.

" Why good morning Raven," Warren's mother chirped, catching Raven's attention.

"Oh good morning," Raven smiled sweetly as Warren's mother invited her to sit down.

"How have you been?" she asked.

" Very good thank you."

Warren's mother had always preferred Raven over Ice. Raven was just better suited for her son. "Good morning Warren," she said as Raven looked over her shoulder to see Warren slowly getting up.

" Morning," he replied as his mother sat down at the table. He looked at her and smiled. There were still a few minutes before school left, so Warren decided to give Ice a call. Then, it struck him. Raven was there. Another girl he knew and loved, but was unable to tell her. Thinking it over, he decided that waiting to talk to his girlfriend at school was a better idea.

When the bus arrived at sky high, Warren looked around for Ice. He finally caught sight of her sitting on the steps of the school alone. Warren felt bad that he had been so hard on her the night before.

" Ice?" he said as he approached her cautiously.

Ice's head snapped up at the sound of his voice. " Warren. Hi." She slowly rose.

Warren didn't know how to apologize. " Ice, I'm sorry about last night. I was wrong to yell at you." He said and took her hand. " If we're still together, you want to sit together at lunch today?"

Ice smiled and kissed his cheek. " Of course Warren. We can always make things right. I was trying to get Raven to smile yesterday. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings." she hugged Warren and saw Raven over his shoulder. " I love you Warren Peace, I would never try to hurt you."

Warren smiled.

" I know. I was just so confused. Raven is probably jealous, but there's nothing I can do about that. I think it's time that we just ignored her moods, ok?" Ice said and smiled at warren's comment.

As soon as Raven was close enough, she decided to tell Warren what she'd always wanted to say on front of Raven. " I love you Warren," Ice said loudly so that Raven would hear.

Raven turned her head away in pain and tried to ignore what she'd just heard.

Warren, not realizing that Raven was near, replied, " I love you too."

Damn. It was like getting punched in the gut. Tears began to form in Raven's dark eyes as she watched Warren and Ice walk down the hall together. She felt used. Warren had slept next to her the night before, and now he and Ice were back together.

" Hey Raven!" Jess ran down the hall and then stopped at the sight of Raven's tears. "Oh my god Ray what happened?" she went to touch her friends shoulder, but the intensity of the heat that emanated from her friend made it impossible for her to do.

" I want everyone to leave me alone," Raven snarled as she stormed down the hallway.

Kelly soon appeared beside Jess. " What just happened?" he asked as he took her hand.

Jess stood there wide-eyed, heart racing. " Raven was crying."

Kelly's jaw dropped.

" Raven was what? No way!" he tugged on Jesse's hand. " Come on, let's see if she's ok." They ran down the hallway and went into Mr. Medulla's room. There, they saw Warren and Ice sitting next to each other talking easily, like nothing had happened.

" Oh boy, that's what this is about." Jess said as she tried to sneak around the two.

But Ice saw her.

" Hey there Jess!" the other girl greeted, once again using her preppy tone.

Jess raised an eyebrow and replied, " Uhh? Hi?" She then sat down in her seat and looked over to where Raven was sitting.

Raven was alone and heartbroken. Warren was so far out of her reach now. It was just too much for her to bear.

Lunch would be interesting. Jess and Kelly knew Raven was going to lose it.

At lunch, everything was going well, so far. Jess and Kelly kept a close eye on Raven and Ice to see if one would try to provoke the other.

And it happened, Ice loved to provoke Raven too much to let the incident go.

Kelly saw Ice smiling behind Warren's back at Raven as if to say Ha! He's mine?

Everyone sat down at the table and this eerie silence swept over Warren. He felt rather uncomfortable with both Ice and Raven so close at hand.

" So Raven are you going to go to the paper Lantern tonight? I heard they had this romance thing going on. Oh wait, I'm going with Warren. I don't think you'd like that." Ice giggled as she scooted closer to Warren.

" Why should I care about what you and Warren do?" Raven snapped as she flipped through her book.

Warren looked at Raven.

" Please Raven control your temper." Warren said it softly but firmly. Raven glared at him but didn't say anything.

" Thank you sweetie." She gave Raven a smirk. And that was it.

Raven's whole body shot up in violent blue flames. Ice screamed and tried to hide herself within Warren's arms.

" I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU!" Raven shouted as she threw and fireball at Ice, which would have hit by its mark had it not been for the other girl falling off the chair.

Warren got up, readied himself for Raven's next move.

" That's enough Raven!" he snarled as he hid Ice behind him. Raven smirked.

" Go ahead, hide, you're such a coward. You say rotten shit to me then you hide. I'm not taking pity on anyone who gets in my way, not even you Warren." She threw a larger fireball at Warren, and it sent him and Ice flying backwards. When the fallen couple separated, Raven grabbed Ice by her perfect hair and threw her across the room.

" Warren do something!" Jess shouted as she helped him up. Warren could feel hot tears form in his eyes as he readied himself again. He didn't want to, but he needed to get Raven to stop attacking. He ran towards Raven, his arms in aflame.

"Raven I'm sorry!" He yelled as he hurled all his power towards Raven, hitting her straight on.

Raven was sent into a wall and then collapsed on the ground. Warren held back the tears that were threatening to flow as he took in the consequence of his actions. Raven lay there unconscious. Ice was struggling to get up. Her leg looked badly bruised and her arm broken. Raven had really done a number on her. Warren slowly walked to Ice and picked her up. She cried out in pain when Warren touched her arm.

" Warren," she whimpered "Don't leave me."

Warren shook his head. " I'm not going to." He looked back at Raven who was still lying there on the ground. Raven had proven that her powers were stronger than his were. And that was a very uncontrollable thought (I'm not if that was what you meant). He carried Ice to the nurse's office and thankfully, nothing was broken, just a minor fracture. As for Raven, she wasn't as lucky; she suffered from a concussion and badly fractured ribs.

" Well Mr. Peace, I don't know what to tell you," the nurse said. As Jess came stomping in with Kelly following her.

" I KNOW WHAT TO TELL HIM!" Jess yelled as she grabbed Ice's arm. Ice screamed and jerked away. Warren stood up to glare at Jess.

"WILL YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!" Warren felt weary. He slumped in a chair and held his head in his hands.

Jess was outraged. " LISTEN HERE! ICE ALWAYS STARTS SHIT AND THEN SHE COMES CRAWLING TO YOU WHEN RAVEN WANTS TO DEFEND HERSELF! I KNOW YOU SEE IT!" Jess yelled. The nurse just stood there, shocked. Warren looked up at Jess.

" You're lying! Ice wouldn't do that."

Kelly sighed annoyed and rolled his eyes at Warren's response. "Do you think raven would act bull headed for no reason? NO! Ice kept provoking Raven, and you didn't do anything about it. It seems like the only thing you care about is Ice. What about Raven?"

"What about her?" Warren growled.

Kelly looked down at Raven's body. "Look at her! Look at what you've done! You wouldn't do that to Ice now would you? You would've told Raven off if she were being mean to Ice! Raven has been there for you so much more than Ice ever has! And you threw her away like she was trash!" Kelly looked at Ice. " you're a spoiled little bitch you know that?"

" I'm not a bitch! Leave me alone!" she tried to hide herself behind Warren again, but he pushed her away. " Warren? Why won't you hold me?"

Warren shook his head. " Not now Ice. I'm going to have a talk alone with Raven. That means no one is going to barge in, no one is going to tell me shit that I already know or that I don't care about." He stood and looked at everyone. "I never asked for any of this."

" Alright. Everyone except Warren leave the room." The nurse said as she shooed everyone out. " You may talk to her when she wakes up, but don't expect her to be happy to see you." The nurse shut the door and left Warren and Raven in the room alone. Warren just prayed that Raven would wake up soon.
