Chapter 3 (The next day at school)

Raven met Chelsea and Eddie at their house and walked to school. "Uh Rae, what's up with the flip flops and tank top? It's the middle of January." Eddie asked. "It's my dress code." "Oh I love codes. Let me figure it out." Chelsea said. Bianca walked up, "Uh Raven. I need you over here," she said pulling Raven away from Eddie and Chelsea, "What were you doing talking to them!" Raven looked offended, "They're my friends." Bianca looked at Raven with an attitude, "Correction. They WERE your friends. They're geeks. If you want to be like me, you can't talk to those geeks or any other geeks for that matter. I just invited them to my party to make you jealous. So stay away from them, and don't you think that being slick and talking to them on the phone is going to cut it. I have my resources. This is your warning, now come on. Let's Roll." Raven kept thinking about those words and started to see that Bianca was right. They were geeks. Eddie was nothing but a wanna-be and Chelsea was just……….out there. She began to wonder why she hung out with them in the first place. Eddie and Chelsea were out, Bianca and Alana were in. It was just the way things were. That day, Raven had to help intimidate Stinky Steve, dis Mr. P about his spitting, and "accidentally" push some kid in the toilet because they tried to punch Bianca for being a "big bully head", as they called her. All those times, Bianca talked Raven into believing it was the right thing to do. Whenever Raven was doubtful about doing something, Bianca could easily convince her to do it. After school, Raven walked home and Chelsea and Eddie ran up to her. "Raven where were you? The vegetarian meeting was today and you were supposed to show your latest outfit." Chelsea said sadly. "Yeah, and you told me you would go to lunch with me today! Man, I was hungry waiting for you." Raven ignored them, "Tell me this. WHY are YOU talking to ME? I don't know you like that, OK. So unless you wanna end up like Stank Steve then you best stay out my way." Eddie looked surprised, "That was you? He cried all during 4th period! Maybe you didn't realize what you were doing today since you are officially in now and….." "Oh, I realize all right." Raven said and walked off.
