Okay quick question guys, was your log-in working for the past few days? I was trying to upload a new chapter and a new story, but it wouldn't let me. Well here's another chapter, kinda short, and the next one will be in two days tops.
Raven offered to help Victor build the background for the play, plus it took class time. Some people who wanted to get out of class came. They were supposed to be rehearsing lines and actions, but most were in little cliques, or talking on they're cell phone. If Terra and Garfield had come, it may have been too much for Raven to bear.
"So…I heard what happened." Victor said painting the main part of the scenery. Raven shrugged and shook her head.
"I'm over it." She said.
"You don't have to hide it, we all know you're upset, Raven." Raven scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"I'm not upset. Really." Raven said now looking at him.
"Okay tell me something then," Victor said. He put the paintbrush in a plastic cup that had water in it. "Did he make you happy?"
"Yes…" Raven said.
"Did you think that he was the only one who understood you?" Victor asked.
"For awhile." Raven said quietly.
"How can you say you aren't upset?" Victor asked. Raven looked down at the green and blue board. She really was upset. And it wasn't just Malchior betraying her. It was Terra. She was so fake!
"I don't know why." Raven said now almost in a whisper. It's hard to talk about how you liked someone so much, and then they hurt you so bad. Especially with you're best friend's girl friend. Raven sighed and got up. She needed to be alone.
"Help me later." Victor said picking up his paintbrush.
"Thanks" Raven said.
"My job to find you're self." Victor said.
While she slowly, taking her time, walking down the hall, she saw Garfield with a hall pass. It was so quiet she could probably hear his heart beat.
"Hey aren't you helping Victor with the background?" Garfield asked. Raven shook her head.
"I'm going to help him later. I have to tell you something." Raven said.
"Okay, tell." Garfield said. Raven walked up to him. Just her and him in the hallway. All nice and quiet. Could she really tell him?
"Anytime now?" Garfield said.
"Uh…actually, Victor needs you're help so you should go down there." Raven said quickly.
Damn.
Garfield gave her a 'that-was-it?' look? And then shifted his stance and crossed his arms.
"Was that it?" he asked. Raven didn't make eye contact with him.
"Yep." she lied.
"No it wasn't." Garfield said.
"Yes it was." Raven lied.
"Was not."
"Was too."
"Was not."
"Was too!"
"Was too."
"Was not."
Damn!"Okay Raven you tell me what you really were going to tell me later on." Garfield said starting to walk past her, down the hall.
"Wait, that's not fair, that dumb trick—" Raven protested. She groaned. She might as well tell him the truth. But she didn't feel like waiting.
"Terra's with Malchior." Raven blurted out.
Merry Christmas Garfield, oh yeah, you're girlfriends cheating on you. Raven thought sadly.
Garfield stopped and turned around.
"Is that you're 'big secret'?" Garfield asked.
He doesn't believe me? Raven thought.
"It is. Honest. I know it sounds mean—" Raven started. She just wanted to get through this.
"No it sounds stupid. Are you done blaming everything on Terra yet?" Garfield demanded. Raven stared at him.
"Are you serious? Look, I'm not 'blaming' on her. Well actually, I am. But I'm not playing. At the mall she and Malchior were kissing in front of a store, ask her yourself!" Raven said.
"Ok I will." Garfield said. Turning his back on Raven. Raven's heart was beating fast, not just because she blurted it out. Because she knew Garfield believed her and he was disappointed. No sad. Or mad. Just like she was. She felt cold. And like she lost a friend again when he turned around.
Merry Christmas, Raven. Raven thought sighing.
