-RAVEN-
"THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!! " Lance yells inside the car and the others join him. They cheer, make jokes and chatter.
I don't feel like I've achieved something. -Right now, I would return back and let them cage me up. But then again, I have to think of my family. I can't leave them alone.-
"Hey, Little bro! What was wrong with you back there?" Lance asks as he stares on the road. -Yeah, I let him drive from time to time on. Especially, when we have to escape.-
"Nothing" I mutter and I can feel the rest staring at me. -Weird... they're being pretty silent...-
"Don't lie!" Kace says.
"Yeah! You suck at lying! Scumbag!" Sam clicks his tongue.
-DAMN THEM!-
"Stop asking questions! I just had a bad day okay?!" I nearly yelled. That silenced them.
"The girls are at your place." Kace breaks the silence and hands me his phone.
-Tsk... out of all places, it had to be mine. Crystal, you asshole!-

-AMANDA-
"Amanda? Are you okay?" Troy waves his hand in front of me. I blink a few times and still can't believe it.
-Raven?! For real?! But how?! He doesn't seem creative or looks like he writes love stories! T-this is...-
"You are not joking?" I ask, to be certain.
He looks at me as if I hit myself infront of him. "Y-yeah. Why should I?"
I shake my head. -I still can't believe it!- "So, is he still writing a book? I mean, 'Seeking' is a Bestseller right?"
"I don't know if he still writes any. Prolly!" He grins and takes my wrist. "Want to see something cool? A man cave?"
-Man cave?- "Okay."
We walked pass the living room and he opens a door that leads down stairs. Like a basement.
-Don't tell me that they hide corpses or something!!!-
"Lol! Your face is hilarious!" He chuckles.
"Sorry.." I playfully roll my eyes. -Okay, now I see. They do have similarities.-
"This is basically our mancave. Raven does this everyday. Man, wish I was like him." Whenever he talks about his big brother, I can see how proud he is to have him.
The place is stuffed with weights, some gym stuff, gloves, punching bags, a big billiardtable and a dart board.
"Troyi? You down there?"A little girl with the same eye color and dark blonde hair appears on the stairway.
-SHE'S ADORABLE OMG!-
"Wassup, lil devil sis?" He smiles and she hits him with her little hand.
She then purses her lips." I'm not a devil! I'll tell that to Ravi!" Her eyes land on me and she smiles. "Hi! I'm-"
"The devil" her brother says in a deep voice. -He's funny.-
"Stop!!!...I'm Evelyn! You can call me Eve!" She also has dimples like her brothers.
"I'm Amanda." I return the smile and she immediately takes my hand.
"Wanna hang out?!" Her smile turns into a grin.
-Aww.-
"Why not?"
"Hold up! She ain't a doll, devil." She sticks her tongue out to her brother.
"Meanie!" She pouts.
"Annoying!"
" 'Spongebob'!"
"Atleast I'm not you, 'Patrick'! "
Before I can stop them I spot a shadow figure standing on the door way. "Stop fighting you two." I hear Raven's voice. We take a closer look and spot him leaning on the wall with an amused look. His eyes are locked to mine and I look down. I know it's weird for someone like me going inside strangers homes.
"Big brother!" Troy runs up and PUNCHES HIM?!
Raven catches Troy's fist with his right hand and smirks.-How the hell?!?- "Not bad little man. But you forgot, actions comes first, before words. " They both chuckle as if nothing happened.
"Ravi!!!" Eve runs, pushes Troy aside and jumps on Raven.
"Hey." He smiles and places a kiss on her cheek.
I can see the bounds between those siblings. -It's very deep-. I try to hide a smile. -Kinda reminds me of Miles...-
-'MILES'! Oh, no... I should have gone home earlier!-
"Are you okay?" I see Raven infront of me. -We're alone now.- Somehow, I have an uneasy feeling.
"Sorry to ask you this... C-can you drive me home real quick? I have to go home! I promised my brother to-" He suddenly takes my hand and we walk up stairs. I'm surprised by the fact that he isn't even asking why and just acts. -Wow, did I sound like it was an emergency?-
"Where are you-?" Crystal asks and I didn't notice that they all are back.
"She needs to go home." Raven hastily says and opens the door. -How understandable.-
"Bye! And thanks again for today." I smile and head out.
I got inside Raven's car and peek one last time at the window. I spot Eve and Troy waving me good bye, making me wave back. -They are so cute... -
______________________________________
He soon brought me home and honestly, I'm really thankful for having him as a friend. I thank him for the ride and he just smiles at me.
-What now?-
He's waiting for me to get inside, but there are some things I need to know. I stop half way and turn to look at the man, who's leaning on his car.
"So, you are A.J?" I mumble and he looks at me.
After a long minute, he answers. "Yeah."
"Why do you hide your real name?... What's the A for?" I curiously ask.
I spot him clenching his teeth. "I don't want to get attention from people. I want to remain invisible." -Makes sense... I think, it's useless though. If you look this good, there's no way people would ignore you!-
He didn't answer my other question, that's why I thought I should repeat it. "What does A stand for?"
"Do you always ask so many questions?" He asks back. -How harsh...-
I ignore him."Yeah, so?"
He stays silent for a while and stares deep into my eyes. -I think, he won't answer me... AHH WHY DID I HAVE TO ASK!? HE MUST THINK I'MA FRICKIN' BRAT!-
I nibble on my bottom lip before I snap out. -I can't be embarrassing enough, right?- "Y-You don't have to answer it! Please just ignore my-"
"Archer." He cuts me off just like that.
-Archer? I shouldn't ask him too many questions. It might be something personal.-
I just nod and break the eye contact. -He is really different that the most guys I've met. There are things I don't know about him. Normally, if you meet a person, you hear things about them and so. But Raven is someone special.-
I can still sense his eyes on me. His voice immediately hallows into my ears. "I won't be in school for a week. Got suspended." -Oh shoot!-
"Because of Leo?" I look back at him and he rubs his neck.
"Yeah.... Give me your phone." His right hand is stretched out to me. -He can't be serious!-
I raise my eyebrows and secretly clench my phone inside my jacket pocket. "Why?..."
He rolls his eyes. "I won't look at your nudes or contacts."
My blood flows directly into my head. My face heats up again. -How could he?!- "I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES SUCH AS THAT!... WHAT CONTACTS DO YOU MEAN?!"
He chuckles and to be honest, it pisses me off. -So he has a rude and perverted side too, huh?- "You might be hiding a guy behind me?"
-Okay, what is going on?- "What?! No! I'm unpopular! Even if I did, why would you care?!"
"Just curious." He shrugs then leans closer to me. "But, I would mind if there were a guy chasing you, though. I dislike the thought of it."
I can tell by the look of his amused face that I've reached the maximum blush, making me cover my face. -Such a player!-
I assume, that he is staring at me for a moment, but then he laughs. "Sorry. May I?"
I hesitate first, but hand it to him anyways. -I shouldn't have, but if I didn't he might really think I have something to hide!-
Our hands meet, sending a sudden electric pulse into my body. -WHAT WAS THAT?!-
Raven smirks at me, making me blush even harder. -H-HE DID IT ON PURPOSE!-
I watch him type on my phone. It kinda makes me nervous and I start fidgeting my fingers. -What takes him so long?! I swear, if he goes through my picture gallery, I'm going to freak out!... Not that I have anything to hide! It's just some family pictures, but they are still personal for me...-
He suddenly looks up and caught me staring at him. I notice how his grin is plastered on his lips. -GAHH!... He's killling me!!!-
He carefully hands me my phone. "Here... can you do me a favour?"
I take it and immediately scroll through my recents. -Good! Nothing's on!- "Depends on what."
He stays silent again, leaving me some minutes to check my phone.
"Don't go near Blake." That sentence caused me to look up at him. "He attends our school too, but people don't talk about him that much and you probably won't see him often. I just want you to stay out of his miserably plans." His eyes are glowing. For a moment, it felt like I have to survive a week with out him.
-That jerk attends our school!?...I want to know, who that guy is and why so much hatred fills the atmosphere, everytime they see each other.-
"What is with that Blake anyway? Mind telling?... You can trust me." I say.
"I do trust you, otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you. However, there are things I want to keep for myself. Understand?" - harsh...-
"I understand." I nod and walk away. -Geez... I need to be careful! Why am I so awkward?!-
He suddenly grabs my arm, pulling me into a hug. -HUH!?-
"Forgot to mention, don't go after other guys, 'kay?" I can feel his warm breath on my neck. His strong scent and minty breath, drive me crazy.
-S-say what?!...-
I push him away and sprint towards the door. "GOODBYE!" -God! I'm such an Idiot!-
After I've locked it, I carefully peek outside the window.
He's smiling on his own. -What is wrong with him!? He gives me the creeps!...-
I decided to stop stalking him and walk to the kitchen to grab some water. I notice how my mouth feels dry. -Was I really that nervous around him?-
I hear the engine of his car getting started and as I peek one last time again, the black car is already gone.
