Ch. 4
Raven and Kyle were listening to Nicole chatter on about Santa Fe. The sudden sound of the apartment door closing made both of them run over to greet the guests.
"Hi Benny! I'm so glad you could come…"Mimi said to the taller man. Roger shook his hand and looked at the kids.
"What are their names, Allison?" he asked the shorter blonde woman.
"This is our oldest Benjamin Coffin IV…then you have Breanna, Brett, and Britta is our youngest."
"Hi!" Britta exclaimed.
"Benny, Allison. This is our daughter Raven."Mimi said as she pulled Raven forward. She shook both Benny and Allison's hands. Raven walked away and she heard Allison say;
"She's not very social is she?"
"She doesn't have to be social with people she doesn't know yet…" Roger said with a slight glare.
"Do they look like yuppie scum or what?"Kyle asked as they wandered out onto the fire escape.
"They are yuppie scum…I over heard my dad say that Benny wants to tear down some building and make a place called Cyberland." Raven replied. They looked out at New York City…
"This is a beautiful view…"Kyle said.
"Yea the lights are amazing…but I guess that's New York huh?"Raven replied.
"I wonder if our parents would get mad if we went to Times Square for New Years Eve…"Kyle said.
"I have to wait for the last guests to get here…but maybe all the kids can go…"Raven suggested.
"Yea! Then our parents could stay here and drink…while we go party at Times Square." Kyle grinned.
"I'd like that…"Raven smiled back. Kyle put his arm around Raven, and she leaned her head on his shoulder. Raven sighed and smiled…as the duo looked at lit up New York City.
