Chapter 12 Odd & Even
"Move it" Raven growled at the teenager beside her. She was purposly walking slowly, dragging her feet. Anything to avoid going to the hell that was known as Raven's care.
"Don't wanna" Georgina snapped causing Raven to pull her hair. "Ahh!"
"Now stop your bitching and start walking or by the time we get home you won't have any of that pretty hair left"
"Your a psycho"
"Yes I am, if you were smart you would stop trying to piss me off"
Georgina sighed angrily looking at all the people around her, they seemed to stare which she hated, Raven however didn't seem to care. Leading her up the hill Raven took pity on the small girl (as she did with all the kids) and decided that she wouldn't punish her for not getting up the hill fast enough, it was quite steep if you weren't used to it.
"Alright the Coporal will go over the rules and whatever else. And now I need chips" Raven said leaving Georgina with a pissed off Harmoni. Since her hubby had gone out of town last night Harmoni wasn't in a very good mood so her temper alone would be able to the kids in line.
Raven returned half an hour later, her face very flustered. Harmoni was busy wiping the blood off the counter whistling some song.
"Please tell me you didn't kill them"
"No she's upstairs getting a lecture on why John Cena is the best wrestler ever" Harmoni rolled her eyes "Whats up with you?"
"Nothing, get those kids down here"
"Oi! Get down here!" Harmoni shouted up the stairs.
"Well I could of done that" Raven rolled her eyes as the four kids got into line. Raven handed them each a book and a pen, "This is for your lessons and trust me you may wanna take this seriously unless of course you want your fingers broken with a hammer"
"Yes Sarge" They all said except Georgina who's lip was still bleeding. Raven smacked her across the mouth.
"Sorry Sarge" She mumbled, she just wanted to go home now. Now she would of killed to be back with her mother instead of here with the psychos.
"Sarge may I go out tomorrow, I wanna catch up with my friends" Matt asked nicely knowing he didn't have to ask for permission.
"No" Raven said instantly another idea coming to her, "But as of Monday I'm putting in a point system, each point you get will be converted into weekend hours and that will dertimine if you can go out so maybe just maybe Matt you can go out next weekend."
"Yes Sarge"
"Good now, James and Georgina you two can go upstairs and continue on with your chores, Matt you can help Harmoni get dinner ready and Jamie as you were"
"Yes Sarge!" They were all starting to learn now.
"You know what was strange" Raven started as Harmoni and Matt started to peel potatoes. "On the way back from the store I exchanged a very pleasant conversation with one of the gentlemen down the road"
"Randy?" Harmoni teased like a child making Matt laugh.
"Yes Randy. It was a nice pleasantry but then it got weird"
"Weird how?"
"He asked for my number"
"And what did you say?"
"I said no of course, man why would you want some random persons number?"
Harmoni and Matt just shot her obvious looks,
"Yeah I get that to make a phone call but that would be like me going down the street straight to number twenty one and asking 'Hi can I have your number?"
"Raven the man wanted your number so he can call you and get to know you, its the first step in showing someone that your interested"
Raven shook her head "It still boggles me that a random wanted a random phone number" She kept ranting and going on about random people wanting her number.
"Is she still with us?" Matt asked as Raven paced the floor still talking.
"She ain't been with us for a very long time I'm afraid Matty. Raven stop pacing"
"It's just strange." Raven shook her head again.
"Well this is what your going to do, your going to write your number down and your going to go back down to him apologize for being a rude tart and give him your number"
"Why in the blue hell would I do that?"
"Because I'm very un-happy because Vampiro is away so unless you wanna put up with me breaking every sentimental object you have you will go down there"
Raven already had her jacket on, "Alright mother I'm going"
"And so help me God if you give him a false number!" Harmoni called after her.
"Damn it!"
