Hospital for Souls

Chapter 7

That one little kiss made my heart skip a beat. He actually kissed me. It's been so long since I've been kissed before, and with actual love and care. Of course, Snake just acts like it never even happened, but I know that it did and I won't ever be able to forget that it did.

I hear my alarm clock beeping. I slam it off. I completely forgot I have to go back to school today. I actually liked being suspended, I got a lot of sleep and a lot of sleep means a lot of time in the Hospital for Souls. The Hospital for Souls, I so badly want to tell more people about it, but I don't know how to. I guess it would have been smart to have asked someone there if it was allowed to tell others about it. I guess tonight when I go there it'll be a good time to ask.

I straighten my hair, put on black eye liner and mascara, and then I go back into my room to put my clothes on. I put on a black low cut tank top, purple jeans, black combat boots, hoop earrings, spiky bracelets, and a stud belt. After getting dressed for the day, I skip down the steps and begin making some waffles. I hear footsteps and turn around to see my mom in the kitchen. She walks straight over to the coffee machine and turns it on. I look back at the toaster. When it dings, I grab the waffles out of it and throw them on a plate. I grab the butter and maple syrup and put them on the waffles. I then go into the fridge and grab whip cream. I put a lot on top, along with going into the cabinets to put sprinkles, caramel, and chocolate syrup on the waffles. To top it off, I add chocolate chips. I always like sugar filled waffles in the mornings.

It only takes me five minutes to eat them, and after those five minutes I place my plate in the sink and go into the bathroom. I brush my teeth, run my fingers through my hair, and then go back into the kitchen. I grab my backpack and begin walking towards the door. Just as I'm about to go, I hear my mother call my name.

"Raven, would you like some coffee?" She asks in such a polite voice. I feel chills coming over me. I turn around and look at her, realizing she isn't joking around with me.

"Yeah, sure. I'm gonna quickly grab my fishnet gloves but coffee would be great." She smiles and walks back into the kitchen while I run up the steps and put my gloves on. I add a quick shot of vanilla perfume so I smell nice. I run back downstairs to see my mom waiting by the front door with a to-go cup of coffee.

"I added your favorite, pumpkin spice." She says in a friendly voice.

"Thanks mom." I say to her. She places a kiss on my head.

"Have a good day sweet heart and be safe." I walk out the door and make it just in time for the bus to get me. Luckily, Jake already has a seat saved for me. I sit down next to him and he smiles at me.

"Hey there beautiful." He pokes me in the stomach and I jump, almost spilling coffee. He notices me grabbing the cup, and then raises an eye brow. "So what's the special occasion? Why do you have coffee?"

"My mom made it for me." Jakes jaw drops instantly.

"Are you sure it's not poisoned Raven? Why would she give you coffee?"

"I don't know. I just accepted it, maybe she really does care."

"Good theory Raven. A women that beat the living shit out of you and almost tried to kill you is really caring. I don't know. Seems kind of weird if you ask me." I shrug my shoulders, and then feel someone tap mine. I turn around to see a guy that normally always calls me a whore when I walk by him. His name is Dominick and he's a man whore yet he always calls me one when I don't have anywhere near as much sex, and when I do I at least use a condom.

"Yo Rave." He says. "I saw you beat the shit out of Brittany a few days back. Pretty sexy stuff." He begins looking me up and down and I can feel my face turning red. I look at Jake who just looks mad, yet his eyes have hurt hiding inside of them. I look back at Dominick who now just seems to be scaring me. "You were amazing with getting on top of her and beating her. I'm kind of curious how you would be on top of me in bed."
