The next morning I awoke to the sound of Arella telling me that Gar was here. I got dressed as quickly as possible and ran down stairs, grabbing some toast and my backpack; I rushed Gar out the door. I was trying to make the walk go by as quickly as possible. In fact I didn't speak for most of the walk as Gar was telling me about everything I'd missed after I left school yesterday.
"And then Terra got detention for throwing that fruit cup at you, oh and Wally out ran Victor in gym class, he was pissed. And-"
"Gar, we're at the school." I said pointing at the front entrance.
"Oh, yeah we are…well at least we don't have to enter through separate doors anymore." He said, giving me one of his famous goofy grins.
"Well if it isn't the two love birds." I turned around to see a pretty angry looking Terra. "Surprised to see you're still hanging around Gar Rae; especially after his little show in the cafeteria yesterday. I mean, he did say that you two are friends and you'll never be anything more." Terra smirked at me as she said this. I was starting to feel very uncomfortable.
"Leave her alone Terra." Gar tried to stand up for me, but I couldn't stand there and listen to this. I ran off towards to entrance of the school. "Rae where're you going?"
"Class, I'll see you later!" I yelled just to get him off my back, truth be told I had no intention of going to class that day, I just had to get out of there.
Gar's POV
I hadn't seen Raven since she'd run off this morning; she'd been acting really weird since Terra threw that fruit cup at her yesterday. Usually I see her between second and third period, but she was nowhere to be found. I did however find Kori and Nix.
"Kori, what's going on with Rae? She's been really off since yesterday." Kori looked concerned when I asked her this but she only responded with.
"I haven't seen her today no, I'm sorry. But if I see her I'll tell her you were looking for her."
"What about you Nix? Have you seen Rae? Do you know what's wrong with her?"
"I haven't seen her, but I do know what's wrong." Nix started. "But it's not my story to tell, you wanna know what's up with Rae? Find her and ask her yourself. Also, sort out your feelings for her, kthxbai." She said sarcastically before dragging Kori away.
'Sort out my feelings for her? What's that supposed to mean?' Raven had always been a good friend, since forever. We'd grown up together, sure her dad had always scared me, but her mom was really nice. And Raven…was without a doubt my best friend. I really cared about her, more than a friend should though. I was in love with her, but she definitely wasn't interested.
I glumly started walking to my next class when I caught a glimpse of what looked like Raven talking to Dick. I ran over, but by the time I got there Dick was standing there by himself. "Dick have you seen Raven?" I asked sounding desperate now.
Dick awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "No…maybe…why?"
"I need to talk to her, have you seen her or not?!" I exploded at him.
He seemed to be debating with himself for a bit before he finally answered. "I saw her, but I'm not supposed to tell you where she went, that was the extent of our conversation. I have to go now." Dick said before running off to class.
"Ahhhh, fantastic! Fan-fucking-tastic! How'm I supposed to know where she went if no one will tell me?!" I yelled at no one in particular. 'Wait…she went to Kori and Nix, then Dick, which would leave Victor. I gotta go find Victor!'
Sure enough I found Victor talking to Raven outside of the Physics classroom. "Rae! We need to talk!" I called out.
Raven looked like she was about to run, but Victor stopped her in her tracks. "He found you fair and square Rae, better talk to him." He turned her back towards me before heading into the classroom.
"Talk about what?" She said as she slowly turned around.
"What's up with you? You've always been able to tell me when something's wrong and ever since yesterday in the cafeteria you've been acting really weird." I tried not to shout but I was very mad.
"Nothing's wrong Gar." I could tell she was lying.
"Why're you lying?" I asked.
"I'm not lying!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are! Something's wrong and you're not telling me! C'mon Rae, I can't stand knowing something's wrong and you're not telling me. I'm worried about you."
"Yes of course you're worried about me, because you're my friend and friends worry about each other. And we'll never be anything more than friends, you guaranteed that to Terra. Well if you knew how I actually felt about you, you wouldn't want to be friends anymore."
I was shocked, why did Raven look so mad and hurt? And what did she mean by "If I knew how she actually felt about me"? The only thing I could respond with was "What?"
"I love you Gar! I've loved you for a few years now! But you're not even interested in me. You only ever noticed Terra! Do you know how much that's hurts? Goddammit!" I watched as she tried to walk away, but I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"You…love me?" Was all I could say when she turned around to look at me.
She sighed. "Yes I do…if you're going to reject me could you just d-" I cut her off with a kiss. When I pulled away she looked confused.
"I love you too Rae, for a very long time. I never thought you'd feel the same way, that's why I went for Terra."
A small smile graced her lips. Then she pulled me in for another kiss, wrapping her arms around my neck as she did so.
"Ahem." We pulled apart when we saw a teacher. "Shouldn't you two be getting to class?"
Raven blushed and looked down. "Yes ma'am." She said grabbing my wrist and pulling us in the opposite direction of our classes.
"Rae where are we going? You have physics with Victor now and I have to get to Pre-Calc." We stopped running for a second and she turned around. "We're not going to class Gar, I've already skipped my first two classes today, no reason to go to anymore now." I smiled, and this is why I loved her. Because even though she could be very sarcastic and emotionless, she did know how to have fun.
One more chapter friends. Please R&R.
