Chapter Two
Just then Tara arrived. She is a cheerful, pretty girl with blonde hair and icy blue eyes.
"Hi guys! Wassup?" The blonde girl said.
The boys looked at her. They said 'Hi' in unison.
"TARA!" Kori screamed and gave her a big hug
"Hey Kori, its nice to see you again…you can let go of me now…" she said trying to pull her off.
"This is my new friend, Raven." Said Kori
"Hey Raven, nice to meet you. I'm Tara."
Raven simply nodded. She didn't like to be friend with cheerleaders and preppy girls, and from what the unenthusiastic girl could see, she was one of them.
"Why the glum face Raven?" asked Tara
"We're going to play a stupid game called Truth or Dare."
"Ooh! I love this game" shrieked Tara. "Let's get started!"
Oh this is just great…
"Friend Tara, friend Dick has not arrived yet," Kori said.
Garfield and Victor merely shrugged, Raven just continued to look out at the window.
Dick and Raven have been best friends for five years, and they have just met Kori, the foreign girl last year. Kori seemed to like him a lot, though. Tara helped herself to some chips.
"Neither has Karen," said Victor mindlessly.
Garfield wiggled his eyebrows, and went, "Oh, someone is starting to miss his girlfriend."
The boy earned a death glare from his best friend. Just then, the doorbell rang.
"That would be Dick…" muttered Raven.
Several seconds later, a black haired teenager emerged from the door.
Kori, once again, stood up and gave him a bone-crushing hug. After they have settled down, they started the game.
"The game is easy. For example I spin the coin to Victor and he will need to choose either truth or dare and I just need to make a dare or ask a question….is it clear?" asked Garfield.
"Yes," said everyone in enthusiasm, except Raven, who simply nodded.
This game is pointless…and dumb.
"Raven, you know this game, right?" asked Garfield, trying to get the girl to snap out of her thoughts.
Bossy guy…fuzzy hair…weird personality…pretty blue eyes---
Huh? What on Earth--
"Yeah I know," Raven said, trying to stop staring into his eyes, "everyone knows."
"Good let's get this started."
Tara stuffed more chips into her mouth.
Garfield spun the bottle, and it landed on a crimson-haired girl.
"Truth or dare Kori?" asked Garfield.
The others leaned forward.
"Friend, I select the truth option," replied Kori. She remembered once they dared her to throw a banana down to the street. She felt so bad because it had hit an old man walking by.
Garfield pondered for a moment, grinned, and said, "Who do you have a crush on?"
Tara stopped eating, Victor raised his eyebrows. Raven shrugged, and Dick just sat there, looking at someone.
"Friend Garfield, may you please ask another question please?" she asked, with a slight red tint across her cheeks.
"No can do Kori." Garfield replied.
"Come on, we won't tell a soul." Said Tara, nudging the now blushing girl.
"Yeah Kor, we won't tell anybody. We're your friends remember?" Dick added.
Kori looked at Dick. She took a deep breath…
Hmmm this is going to be interesting……thought Raven…
But Raven was starting to feel an itch in her nose…
"Okay, my crush is Di—" Kori was trying to say Dick but at that time Raven sneezed.
"AHCHOO! Oops, excuse me" Raven apologized.
"RAVEN!" everyone was yelling, except Dick, who was looking at her…
Raven noticed that Dick was watching at her, she shook her head…
Kori looked at Raven with a grateful smile. The others looked as if Christmas was over.
"Hmph…okay then Kori you spin the bottle." Said Garfield.
Starfire spun the bottle and it landed on the girl who had just sneezed 'accidentally'.
Great…thought Raven
"Truth or dare friend Raven?" Kori asked
Raven thought for a while…she didn't want to do a dare…so…
"Truth," Said Raven.
Kori thought for about ten minutes, but still couldn't think of it. The others were starting to get frustrated, and then she suddenly got the idea.
"Okay here is your question friend Raven.If friend Garfield and friend Dick are both in danger at the same time and you can only save one person, who would you save?"
"Kori! Why are you dragging me into thi--" Tara covered his mouth with her hand before Gar finished his sentence.
Dick looked at Raven, and raised his eyebrow.
Hm. Kori, I saved you and you give this to me, huh? Dick is my best friend but…
Garfield is hotter!
Now, where did that come from?
"Raven?" asked Dick.
"Come on Raven, it's only a question! Just answer! I don't see you waiting so long to answer when Mrs. Gibbons asked you the Maths questions," said Tara.
Victor was munching nachos while Garfield and Dick looked at her at the same time.
"Fine."
"I choose Gar---" While Raven was trying to say Garfield, Aunt Rita yelled,
"Dinner's ready! Stop your games for a moment, come and eat now!And Karen's here,"
Phew that was close…thought Raven.
"Ummm I have to go to the bathroom." Said Raven
Victor ran down the stairs to meet his girlfriend while the others went down to the dining room.
When she walked out of the bathroom she saw Dick standing.
"What do you want Dick?" She said in her usual cold voice.
Dick walked closer to her. Raven stepped backwards. She is blushing.
"I was kind of disappointed when I heard you trying to say Garfield, Raven." He whispered.
What is he talking about? Disappointed? Does he mean he likes me?
No! I can't like him! Kori likes him and I don't want to be enemies with her.
"I---" Just when Raven wanted to say something, she felt something pressed against her lips. Dick was kissing her gently. He was brushing her hair. Raven froze and was surprised by his action.
Oh no…if Kori sees this she is going to be mad!
But wait…maybe I should be enjoying this?
No…the one I like is Garfield Logan!
Raven pulled him off…Dick wasn't surprised. Instead he said…
"You're really pretty Raven." Then Dick went away.
Pretty? I'm NOT pretty…or am I ? No he can't possibly kissed me. Tell me this is not happening!
