Chapter 4
Mike, Jessica, Anglia, Tyler, and the rest of them all turned there heads to the shiny black car as a semi-tall black haired blue eyed girl dress in a pair of light blue denim jeans with zig-zag bright neon green and dark black checkerboard pattern and a black tank top with a band logo on it that no one seemed to recognize. As she walked closer everyone seemed to notice Bella and Edward behind her. "Hey, Bella!" Mike said completely ignoring Edward. But before any one could say anything more Raven spoke up. "Hallo, bist du mus Freunde Bella's. Mein Name ist Raven. Sprechen irgendwelche von dir Deutsches?" As she said this everyone just stared at her not knowing what to say. Raven looked around realizing that no one understood her at all she finally said one last thing in German "Nien, Brunnen, der ok ich ist, sprechen Englisch!"
"Um…what did you just say?" Jessica asked quietly. "Oh I'm sorry it just a reflex, living in Germany and all." "You lived in Germany!!" Tyler asked like he just meet some famous person who was explaining their new world tour. "Yes I did, now if your still wondering what I said I'll gladly tell you." "Oh please tell us." Mike said as though he were jalousie or something. "Um…ok…well I said 'Hello, you must be Bella's friends. My name is Raven. Do any of you speak German? No, that's ok I speak English!'" Raven said like she had gone through this before. "By the way what band is that on your shirt?" Edward asked trying to shift the mood slightly. "Oh, you mean this. Well when I lived in Deer Park on the other side of the cascades, my friend Felix and I were in love with this local band called The Gutterballs and she and I bought these at the last concert we went to. I have an STN one back at the house." Raven said. "Um…what dose STN stand for?" Jessica asked kind of dazed by all the strange things that just happened. "Well STN is short for Small Town Nation."
Raven was all of a sudden over come with all sorts of fun memories. "Hey what's wrong, Raven? Are you ok?" Mike asked with a little too much concern in his voice. "Huh? Oh…nothing just remembering the time when STN's bass player Boone went to one of the concerts in a spider man…man thong." "Um…why would you want to remember that?" Mike asked slightly disgusted at the thought of a guy in a man thong. "Cause it was funny and Boone is a smexy beast." "Um…ok whatever." Mike said as he walked over to the Raven's car. "Be careful it's new." Raven said as she saw Mike walk over to her car. "What kind of car is it?" asked Angela "It's a 2006 Chrysler 300 C. I have two more cars, one truck, and a motorcycle back at my home in Germany." Raven said a bit sad that she didn't have her babies with her. This time it was Edward who spoke up. "Why do have so many cars?" "Well I like to race and all the race tracks I go to have different race vehicle rules so I just decided to get the kind of vehicle needed for each one."
"You race!?!?" Bella asked shocked and very hopeful that she might get to ride while Raven was racing. "No Bella, not with out me." Edward said in that kind of 'I'll protect you till' I die' tone. "Hey I have an idea! Why don't we have a race between Cullen and Raven and see whose car is faster." Mike Said with an evil mischievous gleam in his eye. "No, I rather not. You see my cars have been modified for the race tracks and there not exactly street legal here in the states." Raven said kind of regretting the fact that she shared the racing thing. "But you drive this one now and Chief Swan hasn't said anything to you about it, has he?" Mike said very hopeful that he could get to see Cullen lose to a girl. "When I got here in the states my car was already here and back at a Chrysler dealership in Seattle getting the racing parts taken out and shipped back to my home in Germany. So yea it's street legal." Raven said with a glad tone in her voice. Then Bella suddenly looked down at her watch and noticed the time. "Hey we should get going 'cause I've got to make dinner before Charlie gets home." At this Edward looked at her almost forgetting where he was 'cause he was so board. "Ok let's head home. See you guys at school on Monday." Bella and Edward started to walk to the car with Raven right behind them, when Raven called out to Bella's friends "It was nice to meet you see you on Monday!!" And with that she got in the drivers seat and shut the door.
As soon as she did her car roared to life as she revved the engine and looked in the rearview mirror and saw all of Bella's friends with their mouths hanging wide open. "Ha ha ha the look on their faces is priceless." Bella said as she looked out the window. "Alright lets go." Raven said trying to suppress the giggles. The next thing anyone knew they we're gone and on their way home. "What the….her car is fricken fast. She would have beat Cullen easily even without the racing parts in her car." Mike said as everyone else nodded their heads in agreement. When they finally mad it home Bella went strait into the kitchen while Edward quickly fallowed. "So what now? Besides making dinner." Raven said dully clearly board when there was a sudden knock at the door. "Raven could you get that I'm kind of busy right now." Bella said trying to make dinner in a hurry hoping to have it done by the time Charlie got home. "Sure." Raven said as she got up to answer the door. "Hello Swan residen….HAYLIE!!!!!!! How did you know where I was? Who told you? Why did you come? How did you get here? And why didn't you call first?" Raven asked confused as to how her best friend in the world got there. "That's no way to great a friend Raven. Now then, can I come in or are you going to gawk like that all night holding the door." Haylie said with a heavy Australian accent.
