The New Chosen One

Chapter two

The next morning,I wake up and take a nice warm shower and I put on a red T-shirt and a pair of black jeans and my white sneakers. I then put on my glasses after putting my dark hair up in a pony tail and brushing the fringe. Today I don't feel like wearing any makeup since Jace was the only reason I wore it. I glance at myself once again in the full length mirror and then head down stairs after putting my bag over my shoulder and getting my phone.

"Morning honey,I made your favourite;eggs and bacon," mom chirps as she sips her coffee.

"Thanks mom,well I better hurry not to be late for school," I say as I sit at the dining table and mom serves me and also makes me a cup of coffee. I eat up fast because Leah not only gets over dramatic to her issues,she also over dramatizes my coming late.

"Oh I had forgotten to give you this," mom says while opening the kitchen drawer and getting some small white box from it and giving it to me.

"What's inside?" I ask because I hate surprises,especially those that come in small boxes like this one but since I love my mom,I ask mainly because of curiosity.

"Well,its in your hands,what are you waiting for?" she smiles at me with her dimpled cheeks.

I open and as much as I hate surprises,this one was beautiful. It was a pair of diamond studs. I immediately put them on and hugged her."Thank you mum,"I say because she knows how much I love such ear jewellery that isn't dangly hence buying it for me.

"No. Thank you Raven,if it were any other teenager,they'd have left to be independent but here you are. Still here with me. I love you,Raven," mum says as I'm still in her warm hug. I could feel tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I love you too mum,please don't cry. All you have to know is that I'm here and I'll always be. He might have left us and took Ryan with him but I'll never leave you, I promise," I softly speak as I clean her tears.

My mom,Kris Griffins,she's supposed to be Anderson too but she rejected the name right after dad dumped her but I still keep it because I still have hope that our family will once come back together.
Anyways my mum is an exact copy of me since we share the same chocolate brown eyes and rosy lips but we differ because she has blonde hair and I have dark hair and she has dimples which I don't.

After calming her,I drive to Steinbeck's Coffee and All to meet Leah.We normally meet there before heading to campus.I must be there by 7:30 am and its already 7:15 according to the digital clock on the dashboard meaning she's definitely going to kill me.

After a 20minute drive,I enter the coffee shop and spot a furious Leah sitting in our usual spot which is the left corner of the room. I go and sit ready to take whatever she'll do to me this time,the last time I came late she made me babysit her apartment while she had gone to some party and no one likes to do that.

"You're late,I see," she humbly remarks. Oh no! she's about to bring out the wrath."So how did your date go?"I try to change the subject.

"Nice,I suppose," she calmly says. Why the hell is she so humble today. I sit down with a very confused look on my face because why hasn't she flamed or scolded like all the other times.

"What?" she asked equally baffled as I am. Leah Connor is my best friend with sapphire eyes and slightly shorter than me though she'll never admit it. She has deep orange hair that most people call red but I totally disagree because the colour is literally deep orange.Today she put it in a messy bun which always looks good on her.

"Nothing," I play dumb and she buys it.What can I say,I'm very good at lying.

"Hey,Jace told me that you called it quits on him," she says and I nearly spit my coffee back into the cup.
