As Raven, Eddie and Chelsea stood outside of their classroom discussing a pop quiz they had just received in Spanish, Devon passed them in the hallway, with that cool walk of his. Raven nearly fell over.
"Is it just me or is he fine?" She muttered under her breath, gazing after him.
"I wouldn't say that, Rae. I mean, you'd have to ask him his mood before you really made the assumption that he's fine." Chelsea said, a somewhat confused look on her face.
"Never mind Chels…" Eddie said, looking at her with a frown.
As the three continued onto English, Raven suddenly stopped in the hallway, her eyes giving that piercing stare she usually gives when she's having a vision.
The vision took place in the parking lot of the school, with Raven and Eddie sitting holding hands.
"I'm really happy we're going out Rae, I've always wanted this." Eddie said, with a happy grin on his face.
Then it was over.
"Did you have a vision Rae?" Eddie asked.
"Uh…No, no I didn't Eddie. I was just thinking" Raven replied, quickly.
They entered the classroom, Raven had been silent for most of the walk there. As they took their seats, Eddie looked at her. What was up with her? Why was she acting so weird suddenly? She sat there, her chin resting on her fist, gazing past the teacher, and past everything.
What had she seen? Were her and Eddie going out? Why hadn't she seen anything even REMOTE to this coming? I mean, this was a big thing. Her and Eddie were best friends, and…and…best friends don't generally go out.
Chelsea, completely oblivious until then, looked up, and realized that there was a new tension between her two best friends. At least Eddie seemed to be tense, Raven just seemed to be lost in thought.
Eddie spent all of class that day just staring at Raven, wondering what was wrong. But during that time, Eddie realized how beautiful she was. God, why hadn't he noticed it before? The way her hair fell across her shoulders, and her eyes gazed ahead. She was absolutely stunning.
But then class was over. Eddie tore himself away from her, and jumped up from the seat.
"Well, what's next?" He said, maybe a bit too cheerfully.
"Eddie, come on. You know its home next!" Chelsea said, putting on her smart face.
"Right." Eddie then walked fast down the hallway, somewhat disgusted with himself for thinking anything about Raven in any way other than a friend.
"Rae, you've been acting really weird today" Chelsea said, once Eddie was out the door.
"Oh, Have I? I'm sure it's nothing." Raven said in a small voice.
"It's something. I saw you in class. You looked like me when I ate that sliver of meat during Christmas time…" Chelsea said, taking herself back in thought.
"Ok, you promise not to tell Eddie?" Raven said, breaking down.
"Yeah, you can trust me." Chelsea said defiantly.
"I had a vision in the hallway earlier. And it was me and Eddie. And we were sitting in the parking lot of the school, Eddie was talking about how happy he was that him and I were going out." Raven explained.
"WHAT!" Chelsea screamed, turning heads.
"I know, exactly. That's why I was acting weird." Raven muttered.
"Well, actually I'm not too surprised." Chelsea said, calming down a bit.
"Really? I mean, why?" Raven said, confused.
"He loves you, Raven." Chelsea said, plain and simple.
"Chels, he's my best friend."
"He may not have realized it yet, but his feelings for you are much deeper than friendship." Chelsea explained.
Eddie arrived at his home, his mind still on Raven. What was he going to do?
