Today is Friday, meaning its test time. I have a Language test. Van said Mrs Abrahams doesn't set hard tests. I'm confident that I'm going to pass, I studied very hard for this test. "Finish up Raven, we need to go or you'll be late." Dad says from my side. "I'm almost done, dad. You make the best pancakes and expect us to get enough. That's impossible." I respond with my mouth full.

"Ten minutes left." Mrs Abrahams announces. I'm almost done with the test. Van was right this test isn't even that hard. Its one of the easiest test that I've written.
"Alright times up." She stands up and collects the scripts. The bell rings and I'm so happy that its lunch time. I stand up and turn to walk. "Raven, can I have a word with you?" Mrs Abrahams ask. I wait for the class to to empty up. "How was test?" She ask as I reach her table.
I look at her "it wasn't difficult nor was it easy." I respond honestly. She smiles and nods "I expect good grades." I nod and walk out if the class. I didn't even bother putting my books in my locker. Hunger was striking very badly.
At the table Van asked him if I really stood up to Alec. "Yeah I did. He was being a jerk that needed to be out in his place." I say. She giggles while Tyler and Emmanuel chuckle. I've become incredibly close with these guys. I didn't know talking with someone when they are down can help you get friends.
I feel someone behind me so I turn around and see Alec. "Oh you've come back for more?" I ask. He just looks at me with a blank face. "Nope. If you don't mind I'd like to talk to you?" Why does he want to talk to me. He didn't even know but he was already rude to me. "Sure talk." I say. "Privately." He says. Why privately? Is this some kind of revenge?
"Back to Earth, Rav." Van cuts my thoughts. I nod and follow him out of the cafeteria. Alec looks kinda disturbed. "Um.. I just want to...you know." I look at him as I'm getting irritated by the minute. "Make thus quick!" I snap at him. "I just wanted to apologise, okay!" He almost shouts. I look at him and smile. "Thanks, I'm also sorry. I shouldn't have called you a skyscraper." He smiles. "I get that a lot but thanks."
The bad boy apologised to ME! As we about to make our way back to the cafeteria, the bell rings. "Well, I guess that's the end of our lunch." He says. I nod. "Guess so too." Geography went pretty quick today. Nothing much happened in that class. We just learned and got some homework. The bell rang we went to History class. Mr Obama entered the class. He excused himself and then he left again.
Vanessa hasn't arrived yet, she didn't tell me she was going to be late. I hope its something yo do with school. She arrives ten minutes after Mr Obama left the class. "Hey, I just spoke to the coach. I want to join the softball and volleyball team." She says as takes a sit besides me.

"So you understand now?" Martin is quiet for a while with a thoughtful look on his face. "Yeah I understand." We at his house, we didn't study during our free period because he didn't feel like studying. His room is huge, it has a king sized bed, walk in closet and a bathroom. He has a book shelf and a computer next to it.
"Martin, dinners ready!" A lady shouts from downstairs. "I guess we'll have to stop here today." Martin says. I nod and pack my books and we head downstairs. I walk towards the front door but am stopped by a strong hand on my arm. "My mom want you to stay for dinner." Martin says. "I can't. I" I'm cut when he says "and she isn't willing to take no for an answer."
I sigh in defeat and walk to the dinning table. "Fam. This is Raven Brown. My friend and maths tutor." I smile and wave. "That's my mom." He says as we take our sits. His mom looks young. She looks like a twenty year old model. "And that's my dad." He informs. I nod and smile. "Hey, I'm Lisa Digger. Martins sister." A cute five year old girls says from my side. "Hey." I say with a smile.
'You cute' she mouths to me. 'Thanks' I mouth back.

"We are going to be doing a group assignment." Mrs Hendricks informs the class, she is our Geography teacher. "The topic is geomorphology. You don't get to choose your group members. I'll choose them for you."
She takes a piece of paper from her desk and starts the grouping process. I hope I'm in Vanessa's group. She calls out few names and I'm disappointed to hear that I'm not in her group. "Alec, Vanessa and John." I look to the back to see an smirking Alec. Why do I have to be stuck with them? Why can't I be with the clever ones, hard working people? Mrs Hendricks cuts my thoughts "I would like you to seat in your groups and start with your assignment."
Alec and John are already sitting next to each other, meaning I'll have to move to them. "So where do we start?" I ask as I reach them. "Where do you want to start? In my bedroom?" Alec says smirking. I look at him in disgust. John let's out a chuckle. "That be a good place to start." John comments. I turn to face him.
"Can you guys stop being childish? If you want to fail this subject, I'd be glad to help you do so." I say with a smirk of my own. They look at each other and then at me. "You can sit with us during break to discuss this." Alec says sounding serious. I'm pleased to her him say something that makes sense. This makes me realize that he is wearing a white, long sleeved T-shirt, black denim jeans and a pair of vans. "Like what you see?"
Alec asks with a smirk on his face. "Someone is in a good mood today." I say remembering the first day we met and changing the topic. "Avoiding questions today, are we Ms Brown?" He smirks. "Oh no dear, I was just looking at your awful taste in fashion." I lie. He just waves it off..

"We need to find Raven." A familiar voice says. I turn the corner to meet with Alec and John. "Why, did you miss me already?" I ask, smirking. John chuckles. Alec smirks. "Yes, of course. My bed is a bit cold without you." I'm taken off guard but I recover quickly with a smirk of my own.
"Don't worry, I'll come over tonight." I say with a wink. "Okay! Get a room! This is getting kinda awkward." John says as I break eye contact with Alec. "We'll meet at my house. 5pm sharp." Alec says. I open my mouth to speak but John beats me to it. "Sure mate." I thought John and I were on the same page. I thought he was going to say No! How stupid can you be? My conscious asks me. John is his friend and would agree to almost anything.
====
"Alec, you know that isn't possible." I say to him. We are in his room gathering ideas on how we are going to do the assignment. "What do you mean its not?" He responds casually. "What I mean is I can't do all the work while you guys go and party. And then give it to you guys to practice for presentation." I say.
John turns and faces me "do you want to party with us?" He asks. "Yep!" I say excitedly. They both chuckle. "Uhm...what I mean is...Uhm I would love to go with... Uhm you know." Alec looks at me and laughs. "Cat caught your tongue?" He asks with a smirk.
He's bad boy look is gone. Now you see the carefree and kind Alec. Wow! He is in a pair of sky blue jeans and a black hoodie. "Checking me out again?" Alec cuts my thoughts with a smirk on his face. Mr Bad boy is back! "To be honest... I like your hoodie." I respond honestly. Sometimes when I'm with the two of them, I feel like John isn't even there. Because he is so quiet. "Thanks." Alec says with a smile. I just nod and smile.
