Sky High 2: to Walk A Hero's Path
Raven quickly walked to Principal Powers' house. She didn't call it home because; she really never felt home there, in fact, she never felt home anywhere. Not even with her parents.
She walked inside and went up the stairs to her room. It was only 4:45 so she had plenty of time left, but time can fly by quickly, so she wasted no time.
"This with this? No." Jeans with a black halter?
"How 'bout this?" Mini with a blood red one strap?
"No"
"This?" How about knee-length blood red skirt with a black long sleeve?
"No"
"This?" The mini with a fish net top that reveals her stomach through the holes?
"What am I? A Whore?"
"No." WELL THEN WHAT!
"I Know!" She said and dove through the rest of the closet and found her black leather hip huggers with a black and red halter and shin high black leather boots!
"Yup this'll do." Raven thought out loud spinning in her body length mirror.
"Now make up?"
"Just a little liner but go natural on the shadow." A voice said from behind her. Raven turned to see Powers in her doorway.
"How long have you been there?" Raven asked blushing.
"Long enough to know you're going out." Powers said.
"Oh, ok" Raven said sitting down.
"So who are you going out with?"
"A friend."
"Warren?" Powers said making Raven blush
"No! I'm going out on a girl's night with Layla."
"Hmm. What's the occasion?"
"Victory."
"Ah…Well let me straighten your hair again. You've had in a pony tail all day and I know that made dents." She said walking into the room.
"Alright alright you win." Raven sat down and let Power do her hair which lead to make- up school.
6:45………..
"Thanks for dropping me off Miss Powers!" Raven called.
"It's my job!" Powers said as she turned into mist and left. Raven knocked on the door and was soon greeted by Will and Layla.
"Am I too early?"
"No you're right on time." Layla said hugging Raven.
"So you're Raven! Nice to finally meet you!" Mrs. Stronghold greeted Raven with a big hug.
"We've heard a lot of things about you today." Mr. Stronghold came in.
"Please have a seat." Mrs. Stronghold said. Raven sat down and smiled politely. Every one sat down with her.
"So I understand your living with Powers huh?" Mr. Stronghold said starting a conversation.
"Dad." Will warned.
"No it's okay Will. I'm fine with it. Yes I've been living with her"
"She's a good lady, you've been taught well by her. I wished you knew you nother before…." He trailed off allowing Mrs. Stronghold to continue.
"It's just that…. We were good friends with your mother and we're very sorry about your father." Raven knew they were sincere so she just accepted the apology.
"Thank you but you don't have to. I just want to thank you for putting him away. He….he wasn't the best father." The married couple looked down and so did she. They're was a moment of silence
"If you need any type of help. We're here for you. As we are here for all of Will's friends. Right boy!" Mr. Stronghold patted his son on the back.
"And if you need a girl-to-girl I'll be here too." Mrs. Stronghold offered.
"Well then that's settled lets go off okay?" Will said and hurried Layla and Raven out the door, barely saying goodbye.
At the Paper Lantern……
Layla and Raven ate and talked the night away. Layla was sitting by herself when Warren came over for refills.
"Hey Hippie." Warren greeted.
"Hey Warren."
"Stronghold forget you again?" Warren smiled as Layla laughed at the funny memories of last year.
"No I'm with a friend. Wanna pull up a chair?" Layla offered. Warren set down the jug of water and pulled a chair up. Everyone had left and they were the only ones.
"So who's it been?" Warren started.
"Alright, life has its ups and downs."
"Yeah I know what you mean. How's the relay with Stronghold? good I hope. Cause I'm not gonna be your date again." Layla laughed as the memories of the fortune cookie and the date came back to her.
"Fine how's your love life?" Layla looked at him knowingly. Warren gave her a don't-go-there look. She replied with a yes-I- will one.
"What about it?"
"You know what it is."
"Layla." Warren warned her, she gave an innocent look.
"Warren." She replied in the same tone.
"It's nothing."
"Like the devil's realm its nothing!"
"We were just…" Layla looked at Warren just like he had when she denied loving Will.
"There's nothing going on with me and Raven." Warren said in a hushed tone.
"What about me?" Raven said walking up to the table. Warren turned to Layla wide eyed with fury. Layla gave a we'll-talk-about-this-later look, then a evil plotting one came over. Warren arched an eye brow.
"Hey Sparky, what are you doing here?" Raven said not knowing what happened a few minutes before.
"I work here." Raven made an 'o' look. Layla phone rang. She answered it and had a shocked look and talked for a bit with the occasional "what?" and "how?" then she got off the phone and hurried get her things together.
"Sorry but my mom need me to go home. My garden's going hay wire and is about to take over my house. I'm really sorry Raven." Layla said trying to sound in a rush, but in reality she had no garden and it wasn't going hay wire about to take over the house. She was doing this to get Warren alone with Raven. Warren knew that but she was pretty convincing to Raven.
"But…" Warren gave Layla a I'm-gonna-kill-you look and she replied you-thank-me-one-day look and rushed out bidding Raven and Warren goodbye.
"I'm gonna kill her." Warren mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing, so uh are you going to leave too?"
"Nah Miss Powers trusts me and as long as I got school; I'm fine. Besides, you look like you need company." She smiled. Warren smiled back when Raven's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller id and silenced it.
"Who was that?"
"My ex. Well, I would call him my ex; more like out going stalker." She said making Warren laugh.
"Wouldn't take a hint huh?"
"Yeah for the past year."
"ouch"
"Yeah well that's what you get for being forced with the bad people." Raven had a point, she had been considered one of the most feared and hated people where ever she went. Warren was too so he knew where she was coming from.
"You'll find love in expected places." Warren said. Raven looked at him not believing he said that.
"Uh I..." Warren turned her fortune over to the back.
"And you're lucky numbers are 7, 14, 34…" Raven started laughing when she realized he was reading her fortune and didn't even bother to listen to the lucky numbers.
"hmmm I wonder where I will find love a garbage can?" She said sarcastically Warren and her laughed together. The laughter died and there was a silence. Raven looked out the window and sighed.
"Doesn't it bother you? To live in your father's shadow?" Raven asked. Warren just looked at her.
"To live being forced with people who are supposedly like you or be alone?" Warren caught her eyes and held them. He never had seen this side of her before. The side where there were always questions, never really having an answer. Just what the heart could answer. She looked down and smiled to herself. She brought her head up and looked at Warren.
"Wanna get outta here?" Raven said which took Warren off guard. He turned back to the kitchen and back to Raven.
"one second." He yelled some Chinese to the back and a woman yelled back at him.
"Alright; let me get my stuff." Warren got up and changed from his work clothes into his loner clothes that he had in school.
"Let's go." Raven said walking out of the restaurant. The breeze of the fading summer into fall hit Raven her and blew her hair in her face. She looked so beautiful in the coming moonlight, her perfectly tanned skin with her pure black hair and red ends. She turned to him suddenly.
"So where shall we go?" She said happily.
"I don't know. You brought me out here." Raven thought a minute and checked her cell. It was only 8:45 wow, not that late.
"Do you know how to dance?" She asked Warren. Warren looked at her suspiciously.
"Maybe."
"Well then let's go!" She pulled Warren to the back of the restaurant.
"Why are we...?" Warren started as Raven went to the shadows.
"Hold on tight." She said grabbing Warrens hand as the couple vanished into this air.
