Raven POV

BEEP BEEP!

I rolled over in bed as I reached over to shut my alarm. 8:30.

'Ugh. I don't wanna go to school. I hate people.' I thought to myself as I got into the shower to get ready to go to school. I dressed up in some long sleeves and jeans. I wore the necklace my mother gave to me before she the accident that took her and my father's life. It was a simple chain with a snowflake pendant. It was all I had left from her, that and a scarf from my dad. I put my sneakers on and got my bag. I was about to leave when I noticed it was a little cold. I put on the scarf, which was a faded blue and put on a jacket. I walked to school and before I entered, I looked up and saw Jack's face looking at me. My heart skipped a beat. I dismissed it as a shock and of course, I did not like him. Just a shock. I smiled at him and went in the school.

"Hey Raven, did you see Santa last night? Haha what an idiot. Everyone knows he's not real! You dork!" Mike, a jock from the football team shouted at me. I got a few other taunts and I heard a whisper behind my back. I was used to this kind of thing. Used to being laughed at, having no friends, used to being alone. I walked to class and doodled on my notebook. After a while I found myself looking at a drawing of a silver haired boy. I tore the page out but I could not bring myself to throw it away. I just kept my notebook and paid attention to the teacher for the rest of the day.

Jack POV

I waited for Raven outside the school, near the park. I saw her coming out of the school and towards me. I waved to her and she waved back. We walked to the park and she said,

"What are you doing here?"

"That's what you said last night, right?" I replied

"I don't remember anything of that sort." she said, playing dumb.

"Whatever." I laughed. We sat on the swing. Amazingly, there was no one around.

"Sooo, what did you do today?" I asked. I looked at her bag on the floor and a piece of paper was sticking out. I grabbed it."What's this?" I asked.

"It's none of your buisness." she said quickly and tried to take the paper but I was too fast. I looked at the paper and it turned out to be a drawing of me. Raven looked pretty embarassed, her blush was so cute. I decided to lighten the mood.

"My eyebrows aren't that bushy, and my nose is too big." I teased.

"Well, you try drawing based on memory." she shot back. I made a face and she laughed.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, you're just really fun to be with." she said. I don't know why but that comment made my heart race.

"Duh, I'm the guardian of fun!" I said

"Show off" she muttered. As we sat on the swing, I got to know her more.

"I was 5 when my parents died in a car accident. My aunt, Sophie and Jamie's parents, took me in but my parents left me enough money to last more than a lifetime. When I was old enough, I moved out and lived a little bit further away. I enrolled in a school but people laughed at me, calling me an orphan. Only Sam was kind to me. He sort of became my boyfriend but after a while he abused me and stuff. I started cutting. My only friend was a kitten I saved. I adopted it and named it 'Snowball'. I moved out and lived here, to get away from it all. But almost everyday, I fear that Sam will find me and... I don't know what will happen then." she said.

She looked so scared I wanted to hug her tight and tell her that everything was going to be alright.

"I'll protect you. I won't let anything hurt you. You can trust me." I said. I realised i actually meant it.

She looked at me right in the eyes and for the first time, I noticed that her other eye was actually blue.

"I know, I trust you. You're the first person I told about this, cuz you're the nicest person I know." she whispered.

She kissed me on the cheeks and I felt a shot of electricity run down my spin. She stood up and said goodbye and I nodded and barely able to say a goodbye back. I sat there the whole night replaying it.
