That Wednesday afternoon in school…
Rrrrrrring! The bell rang. That signaled lunch break.
Raven had a good day. She wore a smile the whole time; and the reason was because they were able to see each other from time to time now. Eddie and Chelsea would always be there during movie night, and they enjoyed each Friday together. The last movie they watched was a comedy movie, and the three enjoyed. Raven smiled once more as she realized that their friendship that she once thought was being ruined was slowly being the same again.
Last movie night, none of them was able to bring a movie. Eddie arrived with soda; Chelsea arrived with chips, while Raven prepared popcorn. So, instead, they decided to talk about and settle the reason why they have been avoiding each other the past few days. Each one was honest, but Chelsea still kept her secret safe with herself. And Raven, being a best friend also kept it safe. Not even to Tonya and Victor did she tell it. Sadly though, Eddie has not mentioned anything about having a relationship with Alana.
Maybe the relationship is not happening yet. Or maybe, just maybe, Eddie has been keeping it a secret like how Chelsea has been keeping her secret about loving Eddie- more than a friend. Raven thought to herself.
"Hey Rae," Chelsea walked up to Raven. She was wearing a pink sleeveless shirt and a skirt. Raven thought she was pretty in what she was wearing.
Raven suddenly took her eyes off Chelsea, because Chelsea gave her a puzzled look.
"Oh, Nothing. You look beautiful in your outfit by the way." Raven replied honestly.
Chelsea shook her head and just said… "Anyway,"
"Raven, do you think that I might have a chance with Eddie? I mean, girls catch Eddie's attention in a snap! Maybe when he finds out that I love him, he will avoid me or something. Don't you think so Rae?" Chelsea questioned as the two were walking along the hallway.
Raven felt sad for Chelsea. She KNEW that Eddie loves Alana, and the other way around. "Girl, just don't lose hope. Ok?"
Chelsea gave a little smile and simply said "thanks."
"Hey, don't mention it." Raven sweetly replied as she stopped in front of her locker, opened it, and grabbed her Chemistry book.
Chelsea thought that Raven was being such a good friend. She realized that Raven would sometimes tell lies just to cheer up her friend. In this case, she didn't know Raven has been doing that. Though the reason was because Raven absolutely didn't want her best friend feeling miserable.
Chelsea gave Raven a gentle hug, and Raven did the same.
About 10 minutes after, both had their sit in the cafeteria. Raven and Chelsea talked about several things. Though, they haven't mentioned about Eddie. Chelsea didn't want to feel bad and Raven didn't want to spill her vision. Until Chelsea asked a question, that is.
"Hey Rae, haven't you thought about where Eddie is? We seldom see him you know. And the last time I did, it was this morning."
Raven thought that Chelsea was right. "I know Chels. Well maybe he's got something important to do."
Raven hoped that what she just said was right. But not to the point that the important thing is seeing Alana.
"Important? More important than us? Rae, we always see him. And Eddie? Doing important stuff? Hello?" Chelsea exclaimed.
"Chelsea, calm down. We'll see him sometime later. Don't worry, ok?"
Chelsea let out a big sigh as she stood up from her sit.
"Look Raven, I'm not mad at you or anything. If you might realize that I'll been avoiding you or something, it has nothing to do with you. You know who's involved in this." Chelsea said as she pulled the strap of her bag up and grabbed her books.
Raven saw Chelsea's eyes watery. And she also saw Chelsea having a hard time carrying those books.
"Here, let me help you." Raven said as she stood up and went closer to Chelsea.
"No, Rae. Please, let me have some time alone." Chelsea said as she pulled her books away from Raven. She then left the cafeteria.
I don't get it. It's like Chelsea knows about Eddie and Alana! But I'm the only one who knows about them. It's a vision. It didn't happen yet. Raven thought positively. She felt that her vision was about to happen. Chelsea was sad and all. She knew that she had to prevent her vision of Chelsea crying.
Raven quickly finished her lunch and left the cafeteria.
It took her a long time to find Chelsea. But she did, though. Chelsea hid her face in her locker; she was crying. As Raven spotted her she stopped right there, panting.
"Chelsea? Are you okay?" Raven asked as she was about to grab hold of Chelsea's shoulder.
Chelsea dodged away and said "Go away!"
"Look Chelsea, you can talk to me about this. What happened?"
"Rae, I don't want to talk to anyone about this. Please? Just leave me alone." Chelsea replied with her face still inside her locker.
"Chelsea, I am not going to leave this spot until you won't stop crying. Now tell me, what happened?"
Chelsea slowly faced Raven. Her eyes were red; tears fell out from her eyes. It continuously happened, it didn't stop.
Raven gasped as she saw what happened to her best friend.
"Raven," Chelsea began to talk.
"What?" Raven worriedly asked Chelsea, handing her tissue to wipe off her tears.
Chelsea got it from Raven's hand and wiped it all off. Though, nothing changed. You could still tell that she cried in just one glance. Her eyes were really red.
"Raven," Chelsea said once more as she hugged Raven; resting her head in Raven's shoulders.
Raven did the same, as she asked "What happened to you Chels?"
Chelsea kept on crying; nothing would stop her. She gently pushed herself away from Raven and leaned against her locker.
This is the vision! Why didn't I see this coming?
"Raven, I s-saw Eddie and Alana kiss." Chelsea finally said. She tried to calm herself but nothing happened. Tears still fell out from her eyes.
"I know about that Chels. I had a vision about that." Raven said looking at her friend and wiping of Chelsea's tears. Raven was guilty about doing this to her best friend.
"Rae! You should have told me!" Chelsea was crying and leaning against her locker.
This is exactly what I saw in my vision! Raven thought to herself.
"I'm sorry Chels. As a friend I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to make you cry, because you never did this to me. But now look at you. You should just forget about this Chelsea." Raven said trying to comfort her friend.
Chelsea took a deep breath and before she knew it, the tears stopped falling.
"Rae, thanks for being such a great friend." Chelsea said as she hugged Raven tightly.
"Don't mention it," Raven smiled at her friend once more.
"Come on. I'll bring you home." Raven continued.
Chelsea gave a nod as Raven placed her arm around her. The two walked to Chelsea's house.
As they arrived there, Raven asked if Chelsea was alright.
"I am Raven. Thanks again." Chelsea replied as she gave Raven a kiss in the cheek.
Raven smiled as they entered the house. Chelsea walked up straight to her room and sat down in her bed.
"Im going now. Do you need anything?" Raven sweetly asked her friend.
Chelsea shook her head and smiled. Raven left the room and said "Remember, everything's going to be okay."
Raven left the room and went straight downstairs. She pushed open the door and left Chelsea's house.
How could this happen? How could Chelsea witness my vision, and not me? These things troubled Raven's mind as she walked to her house. Before she knew it, Raven found herself crying. She felt that it was her fault all along. She wiped off her tears and headed home.
