Hey, here I am with yet another chapter, but first I shall reply to some of your reviews J
Annatheavidreader: I completely agree with what you said. I never really pictured Garfield being the whole 'knight in shining armor thing'. I mean yeah he'll play a part in her recovery, but not the entire thing. I really appreciate your comment. (Like you don't even understand how much I really APPRECIATE your comment)
AZURA: I'm glad you like my little story. Like, honestly reading your comment made me 'jump for joy'
dj25taz: to be honest I don't even know yet. I'm deciding between a few different people. So, you may not find out until next chapter. (I'm writing thins as I go, I haven't planned any of this I'm just writing what comes to mind at the time.)
Sorry if I didn't reply to your review, for I'm trying not to make these author's notes too long (they mess with my word count of the actual story)
Now on with it!
"Look Garfield, can I please just explain later" Raven rushed out trying her hardest not to break out into tears.
"And can you help me pick them up before I have an anxiety attack?" She asked, her hands shaking, as she bent down to pick some up. Garfield could see her distress and decided to would be best not to press the matter. He bent down next to raven and began to pick up the abundance of pills.
"Put the largest ones in this bottle, the ones that are red put in this bottle, the ones with the little s's in this one, and the smaller ones I this plastic bag." Raven explained pointing out each specific container for the pills.
'My god she's got a lot of pills,' Garfield thought. 'I am definitely talking to her about this. Hmm, I wonder why those ones don't have a bottle to go into… I'm definitely asking her about that too'
It took them ten minutes into their next classes until they managed to collect all of the pills. "Thank you so much." Raven said as se stood from the ground. Garfield stood as well and replied, "Hey, it's no problem." Raven then did the unexpected, she hugged him. At first Garfield stiffened, but hugged her back almost immediately. He noticed there were small tears coming out of her eyes and onto his shirt, but he didn't care.
"Tell anyone I hugged you and I will push you out of a window," Raven dead-panned as she stepped away from the green boy. He replied with just a smile, not the goofy one, a truly sincere smile. It was the one that he hadn't smiled in a very long time.
"Hey Gar, Raven what are you two doing out of class?" The two turned around and saw Victor smiling wildly.
"We should be asking you the same thing, Vic" Raven said surprising Garfield. 'Since when was she comfortable enough to call him 'Vic' but he 'Gar'.
"HA. True that. Anyway, Gar, did Rae tell you 'bout doing a re-do of movie night tonight?"
To say that Garfield was baffled was an understatement. Instead of replying to Vic he immediately turned to Raven.
"Wait so HE can call you Rae, but when I do it I get death threats?!" Garfield demanded.
Raven simply shrugged, "When he says it it's not as annoying."
Victor smirked at that. "Anyway, so Gar, are you in?"
"Wait, when did this even happen?" Garfield couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that Raven had gone to Victor to plan a movie night. He couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Relax, Garfield, I texted him this morning asking if we could try it again, now that I'm all unpacked." Raven explained referring to her previous lie.
"Whatever, I guess I'll be there," Garfield's words were cold. He scolded himself, 'dude chill out you don't own her'.
"Anyway I'll see you two lovebirds tonight!" Victor walked down the hall cracking up.
Raven simply rolled her eyes decided it was no use defending her. Garfield on the other hand got all flustered yelling toward him that there was nothing going on between the two.
"Anyway, I have got to get to class, so see you tonight." Before Garfield could say anything, the bell rang.
"Ha not anymore, now you are coming with me to lunch!" Garfield grabbed her wrist to pull her to lunch, but she freaked and once again flipped him over.
"Sorry… I uh just don't like to be touched" Raven apologized. Garfield just looked up at her in bewilderment. She rolled her eyes and helped him to his feet. Garfield groaned and they walked side by side to the lunch room.
"Hey Gar, Raven" Richard greeted as the two sat down at the lunch table.
"Welcome, friends isn't today GLORIOUS?" Kori exclaimed.
"Yeah Kor, today has been great." Garfield said remembering the hug Raven gave him.
"So, Raven we never really got to know you. Why don't you tell some things about yourself?" Richard asked in attempt to start a conversation.
"I am pretty un-extraordinary," Raven said looking down at the table.
"Oh Friend Raven, that is the not true you are the most excellent at drawing!" Kori intervened
"Really?" Richard asked directing it toward Raven, but it was Kori who replied.
"Oh yes we share the class of the hall of study and yesterday I saw some most glorious drawings in her sketch book"
Raven blushed, and then cursed herself for blushing.
"Sup y'all!" Victor said sitting down at the lunch table with four plates of food. Each of the teens at the table took a plate, except for Raven.
"Ew, Vic what's that weird drink on your plate?" Garfield asked scrunching up his nose.
"It's called herbal tea, and I got it for Raven…" Victor said passing the cup to Raven who let out a small thanks for the tea. Jealousy began to well up in Garfield again. 'How did he now that Raven like to drink that weird stuff' he thought biting into his tofu sandwich.
"Anyway, I'm really glad that you decided to give movie night another try. We had no idea that you moved form so far away. I feel bad that Garfield bugged you so much on your first day." Richard said sending a glare towards Garfield.
"Oh yes, I remembering my first day. I wanted to be very much of the alone." Kori said nodding her head, remembering when she had first come to this country just one year ago.
Raven felt intense waves of jealousy coming off of Garfield. She could also feel admiration. But, she couldn't imagine it being directed at her. After all, who would want to date a disappointment like her? Hell, you couldn't even touch her without flipping out.
They all went on with eating, aside from Raven who simply sipped her tea.
The bell rang and the teens wen t their separate ways.
"I'll meet you guys at my car right after school for movie night, A'ight?" Victor yelled towards them and they all nodded – even Raven.
Okay so that was basically just a filler chapter. Review and stuff pwease. Don't worry Garfield will confront Raven about the pills soon. And when that happens a lot will be revealed. Until next time
DFTBA!
