Chapter 1:

(At Raven's House: 4 pm)

"Hello...is Devon here? This is Raven……or Rae as he calls me." Raven said into her cell phone. "No he is at some store picking out something to wear to some party in San Francisco. But you seem to be in a panic…..I'll tell him to call you back." Devon's Dad said. "Thanks. Bye" Raven decided to call Chelsea for advice on what to say when Devon did call back. "Hey Chelsea, I got a puzzle." Raven said. Chelsea said, "Ooh, I love puzzles. But I never look at the picture on the box because the puzzle never ends up like that." "Not that kind of puzzle, more like a…..problem." Raven and Chelsea talked about the problem for about an hour but it didn't really help so she flopped down on her bed and laid their still for about 30 minutes, and then, her cell phone rang. It was Devon. "Hey Rae. You know every second that goes by, I miss you more and more." "Hey Devon…… so……what's going on Friday? You know Bianca's having a party………and I heard you were going." Raven said slowly and softly, not wanting to believe what she was saying. "Yeah. Bianca's like a sister I never had. Me and her are cool…kind of like me and my real sister." Those words were words Raven never would have seen coming. Devon and Bianca were friends? "But…. I thought I was your 'sister you never had'." "You're more like a ………….well….you're my girlfriend, you're relationship with me is not like the relationship Bianca and I have. They are totally different. You understand what I'm trying to say, right." Devon said. "Yeah, I understand." "Good. So I guess I'll see you on Friday, Rae….at Bianca's party. Anyone not there won't be seen with me, because anyone that I would even want to be friends with will be at that party." Devon said, "Bye Rae." The words Devon said were not meant in a bad way, but at the time, Raven took them as a warning. She better get to that party, whether she liked Bianca or not. And that meant one thing. She had to become Bianca's friend in 4 days, so she had to change soon 'cause a chance to go to that party wouldn't come flying from the sky. She had to earn it.
