Ch. 3

Raven seen two more people walk into the apartment.

"Excuse me…"she said to Nicole. Nicole nodded, and Raven made a mad dash across the room to meet the next two guests.

"Collins! Glad you came man…this must be Kyle." Roger said as he embraced the older man.

"Yea…and who is this fine young lady?" Collins asked as he pointed to Raven.

"This is my daughter Raven…"Roger replied as he pulled Raven up. Collins shook her hand and the boy nodded with a smile.

"Hey." he said to her.

"Sup?"she asked.

"Nothin'…just waitin' for the party to start." he replied grinning. Kyle was about a hair taller then she was. He had black hair that was spiked up and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. The moment was ruined when Nicole came skipping over.

"Hi!! I'm Nicole Michelle Cohen…where's your mom?"she asked him.

"Umm…my mom died about ten years ago…she was my adopted mom though, but it was still pretty hard." he replied. He gave Raven a confused look, and she only shrugged.
