CHAPTER 1
Chelsea walked merrily along her neighborhood, happy to be accompanied by her long-time crush, Jake Peterson. She couldn't believe the guy she practically drooled over asked her out on a date. It was Friday night, and the two already had stopped by a fancy restaurant where both could admit they had the best time of their lives. Jake Peterson is 2 years older than Chelsea; in that case he is 17 years old. He belongs to the basketball team, and everyone would describe him as the heartthrob of the campus. For about 5 times Chelsea pinched herself, making sure that everything wasn't a dream, for of course it had been her dream every night. It was a perfect night as both Jake and Chelsea thought. The moon shone so bright and it was wonderfully dark around them, the stars upon them were the greatest sight of all. Jake then sat down by the old wooden bench on the side and held Chelsea's hand as an invitation to sit down with him. He then stared lovingly into her eyes and told her she's the most beautiful person he ever met.
"Chelsea, I know you may not know me that much, but I want you to know I've been checking up on you for months and whenever you pass by the hallway you just catch my attention in one glimpse. I'm in love you, Chelsea Daniels", he said with his deep and gentle voice, as he began to look down his shoes not confident with what she may reply.
"I love you too, Jake Peterson", Chelsea replied as she lifted his face and focused so much on it that she wanted to kiss it. And then the greatest minute of that night happened. Jake shifted so close to her and placed his arm right about her shoulder. Then he passionately kissed her. Chelsea felt as if nothing could beat what she felt right now, contented and excited.
As Chelsea arrived back in her house, she immediately went up to her room and hugged her purple pillow given to her by Raven as a Christmas gift. She kept thinking that what just happened earlier was the best minute in her life. Better than winning the Spelling Bee or loosing her front teeth for the tooth fairy. She loved every minute she spent that night, and she was sure that no matter what happened, she would treasure it forever.
Chelsea then glanced up her rainbow-colored wall clock on the left side of her room. It read 9:05 pm, and she remembered to call Raven as she promised that she would share every little detail of her date with Jake. She stood up from her bed, still hugging the pillow and went over to their telephone right over the counter. She sat herself comfortably on the couch as she thought that the conversation would take long. She then finally dialed Raven's number, excited to tell how much of a good time she had.
"Hello, Baxter residence. May I know who's on the line?" The voice over the phone greeted politely. Chelsea knew it was Raven's mom, Tonya.
"Hi Mrs. Baxter, is Raven there? It's Chelsea", she replied as she began to bite off a cookie inside a jar in the side of the counter.
"Oh, hi Chelsea, she's here. Let me call her," Tonya replied followed by a "Raven! It's Chelsea! Pick up the phone!" in a loud voice, loud enough that for a second or so Chelsea couldn't hear clearly in her left ear.
"Hi Chels! So, how was it?" Raven asked curiously over the phone as she positioned herself on the right side of the bed with a pillow on her lap.
Chelsea told her everything; from the weird waiter who took their order to the sweet kissing in the bench. "- to cut it short Rae, it was great", Chelsea ended with a sigh of satisfaction. And while she told the story, Raven would cut it with either a "that's so sweet" or a "you're really meant for each other".
It took a minute or so with silence over the phone as Raven thought that Chelsea might be dreamingly recalling everything that happened. She finished the silence as she invited Chelsea. "Hey Chelsea, were going out with Eddie tomorrow night. Think you could make it with Jake? It would be fun, like a double date!" she said excitedly with the biggest smile she could make.
"Oh, sure Rae! Thanks for the invite! Seems like things are going pretty well with you and Eddie huh?" Chelsea replied as she gulped the last of her milk.
"Girl, it's going perfectly well. He's such a sweet guy," Raven replied as the dreaming suddenly shifted over to her. Then the silence again took over for a minute, and Chelsea guessed that Raven was now practically kissing Eddie's picture in the table near her bed.
She then looked up at the wall clock, which now read 10:10 pm. Exactly an hour and 5 minutes. Wow. "Rae, I'll just see you tomorrow, I'm pretty tired now. Thanks for the invite! I'm excited just to see him again!" Chelsea thankfully said as she stood up from her couch.
"No problem Chelsea! Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. We'll meet in the Chill Grill at exactly 7:30 pm, okay?" Raven notified. "Okay," Chelsea replied as she finally hang up.
Chelsea let out a big yawn as she prepared for bed. Seemed pretty early than what time she usually sleeps, but she thought that she needed a lot of energy as she will meet Jake again tomorrow. For her, it's another dream-come-true tomorrow night at the Chill Grill.
