Finding You

Chapter 3

My group had Alejandro and Raven. They were actually the only people who would talk to me. Liana's best friend, Ciara, was also in my group. She's not the worst of the group. "What are we going to be called?" Raven asked. I shrugged. I usually come up with something stupid like, Thunder Buddies or Fantastic 5 or something of that sort. "How about the Carebears" Raven asked. I shook my head. "No that sounds kind of..." I stopped myself.

Raven understood and kept thinking about our name.

I looked past Raven at Group A, which Reed was in. He was laughing along with some of his friends who were also in that group. Liana was also in that group. I couldn't resist the jealousy I had in me. I hope they have fun. Hint the sarcasm in there. I could barley hear him but I could tell his laugh is perfect. Raven saw who I was looking at and gave a face. I ignored it.

Of course she doesn't like him too. Well, I hope not.

"Hello guys" Alejandro snapped his fingers in our face. I got a hold of myself and went back to thinking of a name. "No limits?" Alejandro asked. I nodded. "I like it." To be honest it was a good name for a group. "Me too" Raven added. Alejandro stared directly at Ciara. He had bug eyes. "How about you?" He asked her with a deep slow motion tone in his voice.

She shrugged. "I don't care what our name is anyway" her voice high.

Our group started talking about the kinds of food we like, sneakers, movies, and who we actually have a crush on. Except for Ciara. She just sat back and listened to her IPod. "How about you?" Raven asked. Alejandro got in really close. I slightly giggled and rolled my eyes. "No one" I could hear my voice crack. Did I mention I am not a good lier? "Uh no, that does not cut it" Raven nearly yelled. My got wider. "I am serious" I shook from the shock she gave me. She raised her eyebrow.

The bell rang a couple minutes after. I heard our teacher say something but I was to busy walking out of the classroom to listen. Raven followed closely behind me. She grabbed the back of my backpack and pulled me closer to her. "I know you like Reed" She whispered then walked away. I kept walking. I know she knew.

I got stopped again. But not by Raven, this time. By Reed. "Hey" he said. "Hi" my voice cracked again. "What was that about?" He asked. I shook my head. "Oh, Raven? Nothing just you know stuff" I smiled at the ground. "Really?" He also smiled. I nodded. "Okay but are going to have to tell me sooner or later" he laughed. "Sure and you'll find out later" I told him. He punched me in the shoulder in a friendly manner. "Guess I will see you tomorrow" he laughed. I nodded, waving goodbye.

I ran up the stairs to my sisters room excited to tell her about Reed. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Someone needs to support me.

My sister had always been good at 'match maker', I always come to her for advice.

"Reed?" She asked. I nodded, smiling. "Yes and he is so cute. But I don't know if he likes me" I informed her. She nodded. I knew she was thinking. "Guys will, show their affection to you but you just got to let it happen" she added. I shrugged. "I see so play hard to get?" I asked. She shook her head and put her hand on my shoulder. "No, show you are also interested but do not do the first move. Trust me I tried that" she said. I nodded. I knew she would give me good, useful advice. "Thanks" I said to her. "Now want to to go to the park?" She asked. I shrugged. "Sure what the heck"

I grabbed my backpack from the front door and throw it on the couch. "Let's go" my sister grabbed her keys.

In no time we were at the park.
