Raven's POV

Today was Sonic tournament night and it was me vs Phil and then Me vs Phil's brother , Martin, and then Martin vs Phil. It is going to be very cool. I was re-reading the text Phil sent me... why would Phil ask me a question like that? Unless...he likes me? No, Phil is not that kind of guy. He wouldn't want to be with me. I'm fat, ugly and gross. I have brown hair that's straight as fuck, disgusting green eyes that look like puke and a huge muffin top and a triple chin. I'm gross. I can't stand myself. I'm only 14 and I've started to develop bulimia. I hate everything about myself in every single thing. Any ways, I need to get ready to go Phil's house across the street. It was amazing that when we met in 3rd grade when we rode the bus home together, that we lived like right across each other. It was so ironic , but it's not common because I'm known for being ironic and a sarcastic twat.


I start combing my long brown hair and adding some volume to it because I have no volume in my hair naturally so I have to do it manually. I don't care for makeup because I'm not a girl that likes makeup. I put on a blue t-shirt and some black shorts that end at mid- thigh and I put on my favorite red converse. I head downstairs to see my dad in the living room watching the football (this means soccer for the Canadians) game.


"Where might you be going Raven?" My dad said, looking at me.

" Phil's house. It's our Sonic tournament night." I told him

"Oh. that's right. You know that you need to spend time with me and not with your friends all the time." my dad said, looking at me in the eye. This meant he was dead serious.

"Yeah I know but I have to go right now or I will be late. Bye dad!" I say waving goodbye, but before I could leave, my dad grabbed my wrist.

"Ravenna Grace Buxton, you are not leaving again and since I'm your father, I will tell you that you are not leaving this house. That is an order, now go up to your room before I will do the same to you as I did to your mother!" My dad shouted and pointed upstairs. I turned towards the stairs and got up one step before my dad stopped me. His hand laid flat and making a hand it over motion. I dug into my pocket and handed him my phone. I continued up the stairs and then at about half way, I started to run up the stairs and slammed my door shut. I didn't run up the stairs to cry but, my dad couldn't stop me from going to my best friend's house for our weekly tournament. I locked my bedroom door and opened my bedroom window. I stepped out onto the roof and walked carefully till I could climb onto Phil's house's ladder. I grabbed onto it and slide down it and ran towards Phil's basement back door. This door led to the gaming area that Phil had in his basement, along with both Phil and Martin's rooms. I unlocked the door by the key under the mat and walked in the open area.

"You're late by 5 minutes. What took you so..." Phil said and as I paused him.

"Look, I'm not even supposed to be here so keep it down. I don't want your mum to here me so that when my dad comes, he won't know that I'm here." I whispered but enough for both Phil and Martin to hear me. They both nodded and I sat next to Phil. Martin put in the first Sonic game and so the tournament began. The rules were simple, First person to finish first wins, loser faces challenger and then the two winners battle it out. I started first against Phil when about half way, I heard Phil's front door have a hard knock but not quite pounding noise to it. I heard Phil's mum open the door.

"Shit, It's my dad. I gotta hide." I whisper very loudly, standing up very quickly. Phil and Martin did the same and Martin went upstairs like him and Phil were playing video games and he was getting a drink or food, while Phil took me to his room and opened his closet.

"hide in here. He won't think about coming here." Phil said, moving a couple things so I have a little space to lay down and Phil put the stuff back on me to cover me completely with a few air holes. Phil closed the closet and walked out of his room before I heard Phil's mum and my dad walk down the stairs. I listen in on the conversation.

"Phil, have you seen Raven in the house at all? " Phil's mum asked

"no mum. I haven't seen her since yesterday on the bus home from school." Phil replied.

" Mrs. Lester, can I have a few minutes alone with your son for a few minutes?" My dad asked. Oh god dad, What are you going to do to Phil?

"of course, Mr. Buxton. I'll be upstairs making coffee for us" Phil's mum said, as I heard her walking up the stairs. My guess right now is that Phil and my dad have sat down on the couch. Dad, please for the love of god, don't give him the lie detector test. I listen in once again.

"Phil, I'm a human lie detector and I want you to tell the truth. Was or is my daughter here?"


Phil's POV

"Phil, I'm a human lie detector and I want you to tell the truth. Was or is my daughter here?" Raven's dad asks. His thumbs are on my wrists, pressing quite hard but not hurting me, If I tell the truth, Raven will get in trouble and if I lie he will know I'm lying. I need to think quickly.

"I refuse to answer this question." I say very calmly. I feel like that was a very bad move, but we will see.

"And why do you refuse to answer this question?" her dad asks me.

"Because I'm protecting my princess." wrong move, Phil. Raven's dad laughs the slightest of bits. "Your princess? Phil, she is not your princess and she doesn't belong to you. She is my princess because she belongs to me and I created her. You shouldn't be around a girl like her. She is just like her mother, fat, gross and worthless. She doesn't deserve you. She deserves to be best friends to a dead homeless guy on the street and his crew help picking up garbage for food." Raven's dad lets go of my wrists and stands up. I felt so angry at him. I stand up quickly with tightened fists at my sides.

"You're wrong!. Raven is the greatest friend I have ever met and if she doesn't deserve anyone, it's you! You treat her like a piece of garbage everyday and she doesn't even care about life any more. She stopped eating at lunch and even when she does eat, she forces herself to throw it back up 5 minutes later. You think you know so much about her, then you observe her all day, every day for 6 years!" I shouted. I didn't cared if my mum heard but I needed to get that out of my system. I probably fucked everything up for Raven and her dad.

" so she is here? Perhaps in your room?" Raven's dad said, smiling so much, it's evil. Shit.
