Chapter 11 – School Day ..

Raven sat there in Ms. Rodriguez class thinking to herself, with her head in her palms. She couldn't believe all this was happening, all that she thought was so perfect was falling apart. Why me? She continually asked herself while sitting there totally zoomed out of the lesson in Ms. Rodriguez class.

"Raven? Are you okay? Do you need to go see the counselor?"

"Oh! Umm, no. But would it be okay if I could get a drink of water."

"Sure, hurry back though. Heres your pass."

"Thanks."

Raven walked out of her the classroom, when she got in the halls she heard Chelsea humming the wheels on the bus go round and round around the corner.

"Hey Chels"

"Hey Raven, what are you doing out of class?"

"Getting a drink, my head has been killing me today."

"Oh, okay. Im so sorry Ray, I wish I could do more for you, You know Im here for you always, and you can always come to me. No matter what. I don't care if Im milking a cow."

"Aaaw, thanks Chelsea. I love you girl, you mean the world to me. Eddie, you, Andre my family .."

Raven began to cry, Chelsea gave her a hug as Raven cried for the millionth time. She didn't want to cry, she was sick of crying, but she couldn't stop herself. All was just depressing. Nothing could make this better. Again, she asked herself, why me?

"Okay, girl well Im gonna go get my drink and head back to class, we've been out here to long for me to just get a drink and get back to class like teach said to." Raven said as releasing Chelsea from the hug.

"You sure? Id stay out here with you if you want."

"Im sure Chelsea, find me after school, do you think you can come over?"

"Already asked my mom this morning, she said it was okay. Just call her if I end up spending the night, and I got my clothes too!"

"That's my Chelsea. Hehe, well get to class girl, I gotta go get my drink and head back too."

"Okay. See you after school, Ill meet you by your locker."

"Kay."

Raven and Chelsea exchanged another hug, and then went their separate ways.

DING DING DING!

"Essay is due next Monday!"

Many kids pretended not to hear it. Raven walked the halls silently thinking to herself on her way to her own locker.

"Hey girl."

"Hey Ray, anything new?"

"Still depressed. No."

"Im so sorry."

"Thanks for everything Chelsea."

Eddie then approached them, and said I got news, its not the best but its what I scooped.

"Okay." Both of the girls responded.

They all walked back to Raven's house, talking about the day, not wanting to talk about the Andre situation till they got to the house.

"Hey mom, Hey dad."

"Hey hunnie, hey kids. How was school?"

"It was good." Raven responded.

All three of them knew what she wanted to say. "It sucked, I was depressed, and I broke the love of my life's heart."

"We're gonna go upstairs and chill and talk and do homework. "

"Kay, by the way. Where has Andre been? I haven't seen him around lately."

"Oh, hes just been busy, boy me helping out at the daycare all lot." Eddie spoke up for Raven.

"Oh that's good!" Tanya said.

The three walked upstairs to Raven's room. Raven plopped out on the bed Chelsea at the end and Eddie on the floor.

"So Eddie, what did your scoop?" Chelsea asked.

"Oh, okay so you guys know how we nailed it down to being Mandy. Well, apparently, word is that Mandy is trying to get back with Andre."

"WHAT!" Raven screamed.

"Bring it down Ray, we don't need the springer show up in here."

"Woops .."

"Anyways .. That's the word, so I talked to my my home boy a k a your boy and he told me he ain't gonna go with her and he'll wait for you as long as it takes and through anything and everything."

"Oh my gosh! He said that, like all of that, to you?"

"Yup!"

Raven smiled, she felt something, deep down tell her, that everything would work out, through all the tears and struggles. Raven knew there would be more, but knowing Andre would wait. She loved him even more.

"What are we gonna do you guys?"

Just then Tanya walked in.

"Here hunnie, this came for you today."

Tanya then looked at the three then walked back downstairs.

"Not again ………." Raven began to cry again.

"What is it Ray?" Chelsea asked.

Raven faced the envelope to Raven, it had her name printed on the front like the rest of the blackmails.

"What the hell? How many times in a week do you get these Ray?"

"Too many." Chelsea said as taking the envelope out of Raven's hand.

Chelsea looked at it and opened it. She then read aloud.

"Dear Miss Raven,

Good at breaking it to Andre. I guess I could let you in on who I am. But I bet you already had a vision about me all over your EX boyfriend? To let you in on my plan, I still love Andre, and I know he loves me too! He told me himself! So, back off. I plan to make you as miserable as you made me. So don't be fooled, this is not the end. But as the next task, I got a little creative. Theres a party that Victoria Scott is throwing, its gonna be at her house, dope, drinks and all. No, I am not going to make you do dope, or drink. That will be up to you. But, I will have you makeout with your good friend. Your very good friend. Eddie Thomas. At the party, with Andre watching. Or if you can get everyone's attention, I wouldn't mind the room watching. I want it nasty, dirty, and grinding, and I want tounge and all. I want you to pay.

Signed,

Mandy Stalk

Ps. Don't under estimate me, I can do many things to destroy you and make you the freak of San Francisco. Oh, and so much for a secret, please don't approach me in school, and tell Eddie and Chelsea this too. I won't be intimidated by you three. I hold your life secret Raven, remember?"

When Chelsea finished reading the mail, she looked at Raven and saw tears in her eyes, and on her pillow.

She looked down at Eddie to find him on the floor, stomach down, with his head on the floor in between his arms.

The two couldn't believe Mandy thought of something so ridiculous. Yes, they were friends, yes they were like best friends, but kissing, no. Making out, while the love of her life watched, no. No.

"I can't do that. Its Eddie, and it'll hurt Andre so bad. I can't makeout with Eddie. It just won't cut, Eddie is such good friends with Andre, Andre is my baby, my lover, I can't do this to him, and to Eddie. Hes a best friend to me, I can't make out with him. "

"What are you gonna do Ray? That's all she gives you, or shes gonna tell."

Raven began to cry some more. She knew, she'd end up kissing Eddie at the party. Raven's hands began wet from wiping tears and her pillow was nearly soaked from tears.

"What do you want to do?" Eddie said while sitting up from the floor.

"What I don't want to do."

"When's the party Chels?" Eddie asked Chelsea.

"Tomorrow night at 7pm."

"Oh my gosh, only one day."

Raven layed down with her head on Chelsea's lap. Chelsea began to just brush Raven's hair with her hand, Raven needed the head massage.

"Okay then. Im gonna call Andre, I ain't gonna fill him in on what we're doing cause he will just hang up. But Ill figure something out."

"Tell him I said I love him."

"Kay Ray."

Eddie got up and walked out of the house. He needed to get home and take a shower and think. He couldn't believe he had to make-out with Raven.

"She's beautiful, shes nice, shes caring, shes my best friend. But I can't do this, But I have to. For the sake of helping Raven, and my boy." Eddie thought to himself on the quick walk home.
