Chapter Three
Raven headed to the dining room. Everyone was busying gobbling their food.
"Hi Raven darling. You must be hungry by now. Why don't you join us and eat something?" Aunt Rita said.
"Fine." Said Raven, still stunned about what had just happened.
"Friend Raven it would be glorious if you sit with me." Kori said with a smile.
"No," started Raven, but then seeing her friend's pleading eyes, she nodded.
While eating the meal, Dick kept glancing at Raven, which was, thankfully, unnoticed by Kori.
"I don't want to go home yet, friend Raven. May I come to your house?" asked Kori.
"Kori. My dad is going to---" Raven said in an irritated tone.
"Friend Raven, please? We still haven't finished the painting of toenails," she said, pointing at her toes, which indeed was not yet done.
"Fine. You have to leave at nine, understood?" she asked, crossing her arms.
"Yes, friend Raven," she replied, eyes twinkling.
After several minutes, the group has finished their dinner. Kori and Raven left, after saying a goodbye to the boys and Karen, they set off to Raven's home.
They were greeted by Raven's unenthusiastic mother, which Kori was used to that, since they have never seem her best friend's mother being happy anyway. They went up the stairs to Raven's room, but just then the telephone rang.
"Wait a minute, Kori."
"Hello?" said Raven, tapping her foot. She wanted Kori to leave and now the telephone rang and it's probably one of those advertisements and questionnaires.
"Uh Raven? It's me. Dick."
Oh whatever it is Dick, please make it quick!
"What do you want?" she asked in an annoyed tone.
"Umm can we meet at the park now? I want to talk to you," the voice said in a nervous tone, according to Raven.
Raven raised her eyebrows. What on Earth does he want her for?
"Whatever."
With that she hung the phone up.
"Who is it, friend Raven?" asked Kori, holding a pink, nail varnish.
Now the tough part……thought Raven
"Some guy I met asking me out to the park…maybe I shouldn't go…" Raven said.
"Oh, but this is glorious friend Raven! You must go! Don't miss the chance friend Raven, because they only come once. Because I'm still waiting for that chance…oh I feel so happy for you!"
Raven remembered that Kori was the only one without a boyfriend in her grade…except her.
"Fine. I'll go. Be right back, read that first." Said Raven, giving her a copy of the latest make up magazines.
Raven walked to the park, the thoughts swimming in her mind…
What does he want AGAIN?
But it's still very cute of him to ask me out…
Wait a minute…no he's NOT cute at all…
Oh never mind…
When Raven reached the park, Dick was already there, waiting for her.
His clothing matches his dark black hair perfectly……
Hey what am I thinking? Snap it out Raven!
"I'm here. What do you want?" asked Raven quickly.
There was nobody in there. Only Dick and Raven alone. Raven was feeling a bit uncomfortable as he looked into her amethyst eyes.
"Raven?"
"Yes what do you want to talk about?" asked Raven impatiently.
"I love you, and it's doesn't matter whether you feel the same way I do. I…just want to let you know.." He said quickly.
Raven froze…and bit her lip.
Ok now my best friend says he loves me…what should I do?
Go for it Raven!
No! He's only your best friend! And I think he's gross!
It's your choice. You have to make your decision. But just don't regret it.
But I don't like him…
Does it matter? Do you want to get teased about not having a boyfriend?
Raven thought for a moment……she finally made her decision.
"I…I love you too Dick." Raven said. Just before she wanted to say something, Dick kissed her again. A gentle, soft kiss….
Someone was lurking in the park, a blonde haired teenager.
He felt the breeze while he was walking in the park. He loved this feeling. It feels comfortable……suddenly he saw two persons…two persons kissing…
"Hmm they look familiar to me…who are they?"
He hid behind a bush and saw them clearly. It was Raven and Dick.
What on earth……Raven and Dick? Impossible? But…but…I didn't know they like each other……what if --- then he heard them talking.
"I love you Raven…" Dick said gently.
"I love you too, Dick." Raven said and they kissed again.
When Garfield heard them, his heart sank…for some reason.
