"Um…excuse me Richard, is this seat taken by a aquatint(A/N:Did I spell this right?)of yours?" Kori asked at lunch. Richard sat back listening to his CD player currently listening to Eminem. He looked at her and moved his stuff from the vacant spot.
"Thank you." She says.
"No problem." He says leaning back and going back to his music. Kori stares at him. He is tough but he is very kind. She thinks.She starts on her tuna surprise.
"Don't eat that." He says suddenly startling Kori. She stares.
"Why not?" she asks.
"All tuna surprise is old meat they kept from two weeks from forgetting to use it. Trust me I know. I had to volunteer to pay back the window I broke." Richard said. Kori didn't take a bite of her tuna surprise.
"Excuse me if I am being what you call 'nosy' but what did you do to break a mere window?" Kori asked.
"You don't want to know." Richard says not looking at her.
"Oh. Okay." She says.
"Would you like to be my friend?" she asks, she goes pink in the cheeks.
"I thought we already were." Richard says giving her a sly smile. She returned it. The first day of school was a success.
The next week, Garfield talked to Raven a little bit. She wasn't very talkative to him, but he made progress. He wouldn't say they're best friends though. Yet, his new best friend was Victor. Now they were walking to math class.
"Dawg, I'm sorry but you're jokes aren't funny. Maybe that's why Raven never smiles…" Victor said.
"Dude, that's cold. My jokes are too funny." Garfield said.
"Nah, your shirt is funny. Why pink?" Victor asks.
"Its takes a real man to wear pink." Garfield says proudly.
"Or not a man at all." Victor said laughing.
"Ha, ha, ha, no." Garfield said. They made they're into Ms. Frances class and Raven was reading a book while the class was acting crazy.
"Whatcha readin'?" Garfield asked.
"A book." Raven said.
"What kind?" Garfield asked.
"I good one." Raven said.
"It says… "The Time Before he Killed himself…" Victor read.
"Okay…" Garfield said.
During class, they were reviewing order of operations. Apparently some people didn't study a second that summer. Or they just left they're brains in the trash. Raven paid no attention. She read her book while the class reviews the easiest lesson that they should have remembered from 5th grade. Raven glanced at Garfield. he paid no attention either. Instead he chatted with Victor about movies or music. Garfield, Victor and Julie were in her gym class. She didn't like gym at all. Not that she couldn't pass it, she just didn't think it was necessary. And Simon was in her class too. She despised him. So did every other girl too.
"Psst! Raven!" Garfield whispered. Raven raised an eyebrow at him.
"What?" she asked.
"Can you help me?" he asked.
"What about Victor?" she asks. Garfield points to Victor helping Julia as she blushes.
"Fine…" she says sighing. She gets up and grabs her math textbook and sits at an empty seat next to him. Apparently Ms. Frances is grateful so she doesn't have to teach more students.
"What do you need help with?" Raven asks.
"I forgot how to do exponents and the parenthesis numbers." Garfield said. Raven reached over him for a pencil and she wrote down a made up problem.
"Four to the third power. Do you know what that means?" Raven asked.
"No…" Garfield replied.
"It means your going to multiply four three times. Not four times three, but four times four, and 16 times four." Raven said. She wrote the steps down.
"So you don't do four times three equals 12?" Garfield asked.
"No." Raven said.
"Ohhhhh…" Garfield said.
"Here, do this. Five to the fifth power, and try with a subtraction sign in there." Raven said. She handed Garfield the pencil. He wrote down five times five. 25. 25 times 5. 125. But then he stopped.
"What's the matter?" Raven asked.
"When do you subtract?" Garfield asked.
"After you multiplied everything. Here look," Raven said. She reached over Garfield again and started working it out. He watched and as she got to the last answer she subtracted by four. Wow, she's smart. She does it so fast… Garfield thought.
"Are you getting it?" Raven asked looking up at him, pausing from writing.
"Y-yeah, thanks…" Garfield said.
"Your welcome." Raven said going back to her seat.
Soon it was gym time. A lot of people liked gym because they thought one of the teachers; Mr. Mason was sexy as ever. Although, some, just thought it was plain creepy (A/N: I do too!) And some people liked gym because they thought Ms. Reese was "hot" And once again, some thought it was just freaky. Raven, Julia and the other girls made they're way to the girls locker rooms. They only got three minutes to change and stand on they're warm-up numbers. Raven talked to no one, didn't no her hair, or put on lip gloss like the other girls did. She put on her Jump City High gym shirt and shorts and left. Always the first on her number. Not that she wanted to be there, but just to get it over with. After a few more minutes, everyone was out. Raven stood beside Julia, a girl named Marissa, and unfortunately Simon.
"Hey Raven, wanna be my partner?" he asked as Ms. Reese started jumping jacks.
"No." Raven said.
"Pleeeease?" he asked.
"No, leave me alone Simon." Raven said. She didn't dare look at him.
"Just you wait." He said. Raven rolled her eyes.
"Okay class! Partner up in fours and get a soccer ball!" Mr. Mason said. Garfield looked around for Victor. He was paired up with Julia.
"Go get Raven." Victor suggested.
"I don't know…we're not like friends or any—" Garfield started. But someone grabbed his hand and pulled him over. It was Raven.
"Be my partner?" she asked desperately.
"O-okay…" Garfield said. The four of them moved quickly to a spot in the soccer field. Raven sighed in relief.
"Why sound so desperate?" Garfield asked.
"Simon." Raven said.
"Oh. Good thinking." Garfield said. Raven nodded in agreement. But she noticed Simon giving Garfield an angry glare from a few yards away.
"Okay! Today, we're still working on our soccer theme. Now all of you probably already know how to play soccer. But this is just a short drill with your three partners. I want you to pick an offense and goalie. On my whistle you will try to score a goal." Mr. Mason said. Everyone picked an offense and goalie. Raven and Victor were goalies.
They did this drill for about 10 minutes, switching up, and moving farther away to make more a hustle. Soon it was water break. Garfield walked over to the water fountain there were already six people ahead of him. It was also very hot too. He groaned and someone pushed him roughly in the back.
OoOoOH, is that a cliffy I see? Maybe so...I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Now do me a pleasent favor and click the button "review"
