So Maddie had been completely right about Hunter having a secret girlfriend, what was even more scandalous was the fact it was Ashlynn Ella. Don't get her wrong; Raven was over the moon for them. A Rebel and a Royal dating? It was revolutionary! But then Ashlynn broke it off with Hunter just the day before the big True Hearts day dance, and Raven didn't want to jump to conclusions, but she couldn't help but think that Apple had something to do with it.
And that speech Ashlynn made at the dance to Hunter was so beautiful, the two of them would be together for along time. Raven was even happier when Apple accepted their relationship. It was the first step to Apple coming to terms with Raven's decision about writing her own destiny; maybe there was hope for them all!
But she didn't know her heart would be broken on the same day. It was her own fault really, why did she ever think it was Daring who wrote the note? She had been so hopeful that there was actually someone out there who actually liked her, and in the end it was Dexter. Sweet, cute, caring Dexter that was always nice to her since the day they met. He had liked her all along. If only she had got to him sooner, but it was too late. Cupid had made a move, he was hers. She just hoped they were happy. And they were still all friends so she couldn't be completely sad.
Raven got lost in her thoughts again and didn't realize where she was going until she crashed into someone.
"I'm so sorry-" The Goth froze when she saw who it was. It was Dexter, he looked a little dazed from the collision, with his glasses crooked and his scarf a little out of place.
"O-oh, uh Raven! Um, sorry, guess I didn't see you there." He said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"No, it was my fault, I got . . . distracted." Raven mumbled and rubbed her arm nervously. "Oh! Look at what I've done." Raven laughed and placed her hands on the Prince's glasses and placed them properly back onto the bridge of his nose.
But when she was done she didn't pull away, time stopped when she looked into his eyes. Were they always this blue? They were so enchanting, they pulled her in. They didn't move, they just stood there in the empty corridor, looking into each other's eyes like they were the only two people in the world.
Dex didn't know where the sudden boost in confidence came from, but he placed his hands on top of Raven's hands that were still holding his glasses.
"Raven . . ." Dexter started.
Raven blushed. "Yes . . . ?"
"I . . . I-"
"Raven!" Maddie yelled and ran down towards the two. Raven and Dexter jumped apart, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Maddie had reached them both, but frowned when she felt the sudden tension. "Did I interrupt something?-"
"No!" The two other teens screamed together.
Dex blushed and stuttered out. "Y-you know, I-I, uh, actually gotta get to class so-"
"Y-yeah, me too, um, bye!" Raven said and waved awkwardly at the Prince who nodded shakily and ran-sprinted-down the hall.
The Hatter looked at Raven, to the direction Dexter had run off in, and then back to Raven. "Um, what was that?"
Raven shrugged and let out a sigh. "I have no hexing idea."
