Raven couldn't remember the last time she slept in her own home, she hadn't been there in at least two weeks, avoiding her blood brother at all costs.
"Raven, wake up, I'm going over to Sarah's and I doubt you want to stay here with my mom," Topper shook her, jolting her awake.
"I like your mom, she's letting me stay here with few to no questions," Raven let out a loud, dramatic yawn.
"I mean suit yourself, I guess-" He walked out of the room, but Raven stood up, trailing behind him.
"Hey wait, no, I didn't say I wasn't coming, I just was defending your mom, give me five minutes holy shit," She stifled a laugh and went over to the overflowing duffle bag on the floor.
She kept her clothes in there even though she was told countless times she could use the dresser in the guest bedroom she'd taken over. She tossed on a green bikini and a pair of acid-washed jean shorts over her bottoms. She quickly twisted her hair into a claw clip bun and practically ran down the stairs.
"Grab something to eat before you go please, Topper can wait," Mrs. Thornton sighed.
"What if I couldn't wait though," Top rolled his eyes.
"Then I guess you'd fail whatever sex mission you're on," Mrs. Thornton left Raven in shock.
"EW MOM! That's disgusting," Top made a face, while Raven just laughed at the situation.
She grabbed a granola bar and headed to Topper's car, waiting in the passenger seat.
"You going to hurry up or what?" She yelled out the passenger window.
"Shut the fuck up," He laughed and walked quickly to the car, getting in and driving.
In a matter of minutes, the two showed up at the Cameron residence and Raven saw Wheezie standing outside. She gave her a grinning smile and Wheezie returned it.
"What is she doing?" Raven had been referring to Sarah, watching her attempt to tie a rope to a tree branch.
"I wish I knew," Wheezie laughed.
"Going to tie Rafe's bike to the tree, because he's being a dick," Sarah moved her hair out of her face.
"Wouldn't that just piss him off more though? Pick and choose your battles with the prick, honestly Sarah," Raven flopped down in one of the front lawn chairs, wincing at the sight of Sarah and Topper kissing.
"That's the point," She smirked, grabbing the bike.
"It's fucking hot outside," Raven let out a loud groan.
"Well, Rave it's July," Topper laughed.
"I'm going inside, raiding your fridge," She got out of the chair she sat in just minutes before.
"Tell Rafe to come out here, please," Sarah giggled, "Oh, and bring me a coke!"
"Me too, please," Wheezie looked up from her phone.
"You want anything?" Raven turned herself toward Top.
"Yeah, a coke," She nodded in response to his request then walked inside.
She hummed to herself as she opened the fridge, grabbing three Coke cans and a root beer bottle. When she shut the refrigerator Rafe was standing directly in front of her, causing her to jump out of her skin.
"Why are you in my fridge?" He practically spit on her.
"What does it look like?"
"Looks like your stealing my shit," He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah because I would drink three Cokes and a bottle of root beer all at once," She couldn't help but roll her eyes right back at him.
She couldn't stand Rafe, ever since they met in Elementary school, they did not get along. They were paired with one another once for a project in middle school and they almost killed each other the one time they attempted to work at the library and got kicked out. It didn't help that Rafe was extremely anti-Pogue and even though Raven didn't claim her Pogue title, Rafe wouldn't look past who her brother was. She pushed her way past the six-foot-something asshole, forgetting to tell him that Sarah wanted him to come out, and walked back outside. She tossed drinks to everyone, then sat back where she was.
"What are we doing today?" She groaned.
"Boat?" Sarah asked, "My dad is out of town like he would care if I used it anyway."
"Yeah because you're his little princess," Wheezie rolled her eyes.
"No, I'm not," Sarah threw dirt at her sister.
"How are you ginger?" Wheezie adverted the topic to Raven.
"What?" Raven couldn't help but laugh at the question.
"Your dad wasn't ginger, John b sure isn't a carrot top, why are you?"
"My grandma," Raven took a drink from the bottle.
"Isn't it a bit early to be drinking?" Top sighed.
"It's root beer," Raven spat back at him, "Since when did you ever care anyway? Pretty sure I saw you drinking tequila at eight in the morning yesterday?"
"Mind your fucking business," Top rolled his eyes at her.
"If you ever need a break from him, please, come stay here, I beg of you, no one ever uses the guest room, it's begging to have someone on the bed," Sarah laughed.
"What is THAT supposed to mean?" Topper acted offended.
"She gets that you can be insufferable sometimes," Raven teased him.
"Oh I see it's gang up on Topper hour, yeah yeah whatever," He nudged Sarah playfully.
"Alright time to go on the boat," Raven sat up and stretched, and another car started pulling into the driveway.
"Who is that?" She questioned.
"Loooooooks likeeeeeeeeee, Kelce," Topper nodded at his prediction.
"Probably coming to hang with Rafe," Sarah smiled, walking towards the dock.
"Hey, what're you guys doing?" Kelce yelled, getting out of his car with a greeting grin.
"Having a boat day, wanna come?" Sarah grinned.
"Yeah, gonna go grab Rafe though, so he doesn't think I bailed, I don't think I'd hear the end of that," He laughed and walked inside quickly.
"Welp, hate to do this, but I'd rather kill myself than go out on the boat today, so, I am going back inside," Wheezie stood up, but stopped next to Raven and patted her arm, "Good luck."
"I'm going to need it," Raven flatlined her lips and walked over to Sarah, "If your brother starts any shit with me on the boat I swear to god, I will be pushing his ass into the water."
"Do it anyway," Sarah smirked, then the two girls started walking towards the boat.
