10. Loss and Confusion

Chelsea opens her locker and sees the pictures of her ex best friends inside of it. After closing it a wave of sadness invades her and she decides to rest her head on her locker. She shuts her eyes and takes a deep breath.

Everything was so confusing, so frustrating, so unreal. She realized she was missing them. She missed hanging out with them, going shopping with Raven, those long hours talking to Eddie on the phone. And as unbelievable as it sounds, she was even missing Cory. Her life was a mess now and she wanted things to go back to normal.

"Hey beautiful!" Brad whispers in her ear while wrapping his arms around her waist...

"Oh my god, you scared me!" she says quite mad.

"I love your face when you get mad!" she half smiles

They kiss.

"What's wrong? Why that sad face?"

"Oh, it's nothing!" she tries to turn but he takes her by the arm.

"Chelsea?"

She looks down "It's them! I miss them Brad! I can't keep living like this!"

"Chelsea, they hurt you. You can't keep thinking on someone who made your life miserable. I am sick of this. It has been a month already"

"They didn't make it miserable. It all became miserable after losing them!"

"So you are telling me I am part of your miserable life?"

"No, baby, you know you are my everything!" she takes his face in her hands and kisses him. "I am sorry; I know you are sick of this. I know it has been a month after all that happened but everything I see, every song I listen to remind me of them. My room is full of their pictures and my mind full of memories. It's not easy!"

"Don't think about it anymore! I hate to see you crying! It makes you look ugly"

She laughs and pretends to be mad.

"You know I am kidding princess, that can't happen, it is impossible. You are the most beautiful woman in this world!" he leads to kiss her passionately.

Raven and Eddie are watching them at the end of the hallway.

Eddie closes his locker furious and Raven jumps scared by the sound of it.

"I can't keep watching this. That should be me, Raven!" He says and Raven watches him walking away. Then she turns back to see Chelsea and Brad.

They start to smile between kisses. Chelsea drops her book not caring about it, just living the moment. Her happy face turns to a more serious, seductive, satisfied face while Brad starts to kiss her neck slowly. Now her worried thoughts were not longer in her mind. The situation was more than relaxing her.

"Dude! Get a room!"

They broke the kiss and the moment was gone.

"Jake! What's up, man?" they shake hands.

Chelsea rolls her eyes and looks away,

"You are the luckiest guy here, man. I hate you! You got the hottest girl with the hottest legs, the attention of the whole school, the richest dad and you are the captain of the team!"

"I know!"

"You son of a gun! "

They laugh.

Chelsea notices Raven is staring at her.

"Brad, I'll meet you after class, ok?"

"Please, come to the game tonight!"

"I will!"

They kiss.

"Bye guys!"

"Bye hottie!" Jake replies and stares at her legs while she walks towards Raven.

"Oh my…!"

"Stop looking at her and stay away from her, you know she is mine!" Brad says serious.

"Relax! I was just looking at her!"

"Then stop doing that!" Brad gets mad.

"Listen, you got to come to my party tonight!"

"I don't know…I promise her we were going to dinner together after the game!"

"Come on man, its going to be awesome. Just the girls, the beers and something I know you want!"

"What do you mean?" Brad says curious.

"I've got it, come and you'll have as much as you want!"

"How?...Where did you get it? Give it to me now!" Brad starts to act desperate.

"Slow down man! I will give it to you tonight, at the party but with a condition…"

"What is it?"

"Bring the hot girl with you!" he says almost whispering.

"Deal!"

Jakes and his group of friends smile.

"See you after the game then?"

"Of course!" Brad says smiling too.

Raven shakes when she notices Chelsea is coming to her. "Is she going to regret?" she thought. "Maybe she is been thinking things over and she knows she did wrong".

"Chelseaaa!" Jessica hugs her.

"Hi!"

"Thank you for everything! I was really sad last night and your phone call made me see how stupid I was. So I went to talk to Jake and now we are back together!"

"Oh! I am so happy for you!" Chelsea smiles.

"Thank you for being such a good friend, you are definitely now my best friend, Chelsea!" They hug again.

"Oh..yeah..well, your welcome!" Chelsea says nervously, knowing Raven is at the back listening to everything.

"I want you to join the cheerleader's team. We all want you too. Please! Try to come to the gym tomorrow morning, ok?"

"Sure, Ill be there. See you tomorrow!

"Bye Chels!"

Chelsea turns to talk to Raven and takes a deep breath, she knows its going to be hard.

"Raven, I…I know I've been….

"Who are you? I don't know you anymore. You think you are too much to be with us. You have new plastic friends, you are now a cheerleader, you use those short skirts, and what are you, a slut?" Raven says mad.

"What? You bought all these outfits for me, remember?"

"We already know you have the hottest guy at school and that you are popular, you don't need to show us how you guys are mad about each other by making out in the middle of the hallway where everybody can see you!".

"Raven, please!..." Chelsea starts to cry.

"You have it all. The hottest guy who is the captain of the football team, the guy everybody wants. The popularity, the attention of every single boy. And now he is in love with you and you are destroying him by doing what you do. Why don't you see the reality and stop living your lie? He loves you so much, he can't stop thinking about you. I can't take this anymore!"

"I didn't know you like Brad. You can't do this to me, I love him and he loves me back, I am sorry Raven!"

"I am not talking about Brad! Now you can see how lost you are in your own fake world"

"What? Who are you talking about?"

"And you know what hurts me the most? That now you have a new best friend!" Raven cries and goes running away from Chelsea.

"Raven!" Chelsea shouts but Raven never turns to look back.
