Well, the 'Replacing Raven' plan was a complete bust, and Apple was even more pissed at her. That's what she got for being thoughtful; more hate and resentment. She didn't even now why she bothered to try to get on Apple's good side again. How could she still stand the girl when she would throw all those sugary sweet, backhanded comments about their destiny in her face-"You're such an important part of my story!"
Raven couldn't figure out whether or not the Royal was trying to be nice or if she was just rubbing in the fact that she was the big heroine and Raven wasn't.
The teen could still hear Apple's squeaky voice crying out to her from legacy day-"H-how can you be so, so selfish!?" Was she really selfish? Was not wanting to go to Mirror Prison, to be able to do what she wanted instead of being forced to be the person everyone else wanted her to be, selfish?
Raven's pondering was interrupted when a Hatter waltzed into her dorm room. "Ravey Wavey! I've been looking all over for you!" Maddie informed in her normal chipper voice, her smile turned into a slight frown when she saw her best friend on her bed, her face buried in a pillow. "Oh, well don't you look like a Depressing Darnell, what's the matter?" Asked the Wonderlander, as she came to sit next to Raven.
"It's nothing Maddie." Raven replied and looked up from her pillow. "Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Apple."
"Oh." Maddie said simply.
"Yeah." Raven rolled over and stared at the ceiling. "Is she right? Was I being selfish when I didn't sign the book?"
"Oh Raven." Maddie shook head. "You are one of the most selfless people I know. If anyone's selfish, it's Apple."
Raven shot up into a sitting position and stared at her friend. Maddie never said anything against anybody, well, at least not so bluntly.
"Rae, like I said before, you did the right thing, don't let any of those meanies tell you otherwise!" Maddie proclaimed, her arms crossed over her chest with a big pout on her lips.
The Goth smiled. "Have I ever told you that you're amazing?"
The Hatter giggled before her hands reached up to her hat and pulled out two cups of steaming hot tea. She offered it to her best friend forever after with a smile. "Tea?"
