Raven's other half of the day was anything but well. First of all she feels so frustrated and angry, secondly practical exam on grimnastic and all those stretching and jumping made her feel as if her limbs are gonna come off her body anytime soon. And last but not the least, her magic betrayed her again and she accidentally turned Sparrow into a...sparrow.
"Can you believe it?" the young witch started once again which made the daughter of the mad hatter look at her, "You can't belive what?" Maddie asked. Raven made a little groan before shaking her head, "I can't believe that Apple has a "someone"." she replied.
"I can. It's only normal that characters of our age have a "someone" just like how it's normal to wear a hat underneath another hat." Maddilyn giggled.
"That doesn't make sense Maddie," the said girl only giggled more, "What about you Raven? You also have that "someone" right?" she questioned.
This made Raven completely stop walking and stare blankly at Maddie, a few seconds later she was furiously blushing- a sign that the wonderlandian was indeed right. Maddilyn laughed at the red faced witch although deep inside she already knows the answer to her own question.
"It's Apple right?" Maddie said and Raven's face was as red as Apple's namesake and she felt like her whole face is overheating. Maddie doesn't need any reply to know that she did guessed it right.
"Apple, spill it." Briar squinted her eyes at the said princess as she tried to look intimidating. "I have nothing to spill or whatsoever after, Briar." the blonde monarch gulped nervously while doing her best to avoid her BFFA's eyes.
"I heard you're in love." Briar's tone was knowing and Apple felt like the brown-haired girl knows her every secret, "-And I know hexactly with whom." the sleepy princess smirked and Apple started sweating.
Who was Apple kidding anyways? No matter how much she lie on her bestfriend, Briar will always know the truth in the end. The shorter of the two princesses let out a sigh of defeat and Briar's smirk widened.
"You, Apple White is in love with.."
"Shhhh!" the fairest hushed her closest friend as she looked around their are and search if ever somebody overheard their talk. Apple looked back at Briar who only said the name of Apple's beloved one silently, Apple nodded and confirmed that Briar was right while her face was burning red.
"Then why don't you confess?" the daughter of sleeping beauty suggested in which Apple's response was a shake of his head, "I don't know how!" she revealed. In this very moment, Briar wished that she was like Cupid and she can give Apple some love tips about this. That was before an idea hit her and she snapped her fingers.
"But I know someone who knows!" with a smirk, Briar took Apple by her hand and started dragging her somewhere.
While walking around campus' garden, Raven's frown couldn't help but bother Cerise.
"Cheer up, Raven. Maybe today isn't just your day." the hooded girl patted the other girl's back in an attempt to cheer her up. Just few moments ago, the solution she was making during chemythstry exploded and professor Rumplestilskin was anything but happy about it. "Well it used to be my day." Raven answered, a sigh following afterwards.
Cerise raised an eyebrow, "Why are you so upset anyways?" she asked, "You've been like this since lunch." she continued. Raven remained quiet and this urged Cerise to continue speaking, "You know..you can always ty and ask her out on a date. And no don't be surprised, Maddie, Cedar and I knows about hour crush on her for centuries." but nonethless, Raven looked at Cerise wide-eyed and mouth hanging open.
"H-ho-how? I thought I was being secretive!" Raven stuttered as cheeks flushed reddish pink. Does everybody knows about her big crush on Apple!? "Being painfully obvious with your jealousy isn't really called being secretive, Raven." Cerise replied with a toothy grin.
Raven let out a breathe, "I guess...but how could I possibly ask her out on a date when I know that she has a "someone"." the purple haired one stated which made the other girl chuckle lightly, "What if..Apple White's "someone" is actually Raven Queen?" she snorted as she heard Raven gasp.
The daughter of red riding hood grinned even more when Raven flashed her the Raven Queen's trademark confident smile. "You're right, maybe I should!" with a determined fist pump, the witch set a goal inside her brain to ask her princess for a date as soon as possible. "That's the spirit-" but even before Cerise had the chance to finish her sentence and wish the witch luck, Raven yanked her down and forced her to crouch down beside her behind a random thick bush.
Cerise knitted her brows together and growled, "What's the matter?" she looked around and her mouth formed an 'o' as she withessed Apple White and Darling Charming sitting beside each other in a bench. Holding hands. "Oh grimm...this is a problem." Cerise clicked his tongue quietly as she glanced at Raven right beside her.
Raven had a look of sadness, disappointment, betrayal and anger. Witnessing this right after Cerise has just succeeded getting the witch's mood up was...sad! "Hey, maybe we're just misunderstanding things. Let's get closer." the half wolf cooed Raven to go near the two more so they can hear whatever it is the other two is talking about.
"-and I know we are totally meant to be, so will you go out with me?" Apple finished her statement and upon hearing this, Cerise mentally slapped herself, regretting that she urged Raven to come closer and hear this. Raven looked like she's gonna come out of this bush any second now and go on a rampage. Cerise knew that she need to pull and drag Raven away as far as possible but alas,
Raven sprang up from their crouching position, revealing her presence to both Apple and Darling. The two gasped upon seeing the purple haired witch and they quickly let go of each other's hands, Darling has a panic face present. The princess right beside her on the other hand reddened.
Cerise face-palmed at this awkward situation.
"Oh hey Darling and..Apple!" the hooded girl slowly rised from her position too and started rubbing the back of her head awkwardly, "Sorry for interrupting and um, please continue!" Cerise desperately waved her hand at the two princesses and grabbed Raven by her wrist and was ready to pull her away but the Queen didn't even budge.
"Oh are we interrupting something?" she said with tone as flat as a wall, eyes never leaving Apple's own, "No- it's not what-" the daughter of Snow White stood up from her seat and tried to explain but she was cut off. "Do that "one person" you were talking about was Darling huh?" Raven spat bitterly as she successfully wriggled out of Cerise's hold and crossed her arms at the girl in question.
Apple made a scowl, "What? No!" the fairest crossed her arms back at her supposed to be nemesis.
Darling awkwardly coughed and looked at Cerise who only looked back and shrug with a somewhat apologetic smile. Their eyes then went back to the bickering idiots right in front ot them, they rolled their eyes in unison.
"Then what's the holding hands for?" Raven hissed, "I can't believe you're so oblivious!" Apple replied as she puffed her cheeks before turning on her heels and walking out, leaving Raven with a puzzled expression. "Me? Oblivious?" she repeated Apple's choice of words to describe her and the other two girls only sighed(while they agree on Apple mentally)
"I should be going now, Holly's waiting for me." the knight chuckled as she went away.
Now there were only Raven and Cerise, "Today isn't really your day, Miss Oblivious." the wolf girl shrugged and Raven rolled her eyes at her friend,
"I'm not oblivious! Why did she even call me that!?"
'Oh the irony..' Cerise thought as she gave out her second face palm of the day.
Raven is a confident, mischievious and oblivious queer baby for for me that gets annoyed easily.
