-RAVEN-
I'm inside the fucking school. It's the same as always. People talk, walk and gossip around. They never really noticed me, except when I get into trouble with bastards.
-I'm used to being on my own. I mean, even though Crystal and Kim are here, I still feel like I'm on my own. Maybe it's because we are in different class sections. Only Joe used to talk with me, even if it's just in math class. Now that he has a new group and a girlfriend, I understand and respect the fact that we parted. -
I walk inside my biology class and spot Amanda sitting on our usual place. -Ah shit, spotting her yesterday with Blake still bothers me.... Like, why the hell did she go out with him? Was it a date!?-
As I walk slowly towards her, I notice how she smiles at me. It's hard to smile back somehow, but I managed to send her one.
"Wow, you look like you're in an awful mood today." She jokes as I take a sit beside her. -Great, she analysed me.-
"Oh really?" I say and try to act like I always do. The sick bastard-modus.
She raises her eyebrows at me. "Yeah... Did something happen?"
-'Well, yeah. I saw you hang out and drive away with the biggest asshole in New York.'-
"No, not at all." I lie with a small smile on my face. -What? I can't be direct! She might assume, that I've stalked her!-
"Where's Courtney?" I ask, in order to change the topic.
She shrugs at me and then smiles. "I think, she's going to skip. Typical Courtney, ya know?" -She seems happy about something...-
"You seem like you're in a good mood today. Why's that?" I ask and place one hand on my chin as I stare at her.
Amanda innocently smiles at me and looks away. "W-What do you mean? I'm always this cheerful." She says and tries to stay serious. Yet, her face deceives her. Her cheeks have slight red shades. -I wonder, why?-
"Nevermind. I think, I'm just tired and ramble random things out...Sorry." I awkwardly chuckle and bury my head into my arms, which are on the table.
-Dang it! I can't ask her! It would be too obvious!... It just fucking sucks, knowing they were out together!-

-I wonder, what's wrong with him? He seems off and his smile is pretty fake... Did I do something wrong?... And what does he mean with I'm 'happy'?... I literally have mood swings! I feel awful, but when I saw him my mood lightened up a bit.-
I stare at Raven, whose head is on the desk. It's hard to resist, letting my fingers run through his soft and dark hair. -DAMN IT!-
"Raven?" I ask, but he isn't responding. -He's asleep, I guess.-
Mrs. Kelly, our biology teacher, enters the room and we're back to learning again. I still remember, that time when Lance was our substitute teacher for a week. -It was kinda traumatizing...-
I tried to focus on our lesson, but my stomach hurted so much. -Did I eat something awful yesterday? I didn't really eat much... I mean, Blake and I just went out for burgers and a normal drink... Speaking of Blake... I kinda feel attracted to him. Yet, I need to find out what I feel for Charles and Raven too...-
The bell finally rings, after a long hour. I look over to Raven and spot him packing his things. -He's being silent, again... I'm sure, he'll talk to me later... eventually... I hope. -
As soon as, I've packed my things, I stand up and smile at him. "I-I'll see you around. I gotta go now." -WHY DO I SOUND SO AWKWARD!?-
He smiles back at me and nods. "See you around." -He's normal again...-
With that I turn around to follow the rest of the people. -Good thing, Courtney didn't see this. She'd roast me for being awkward.-
I suddenly feel Raven's hand on my shoulder and shriek. -What is wrong now?- As I turn to look at him, I notice him rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yes?"
"Well..." He hastily removes his black sweater and then wraps it around my hips. -Huh?-
"Wha-" My heart is racing so fast.
He leans closer to my ear and whispers, making his warm and minty breath touch my skin. "You have a stain behind you."
-N-NO! NO, FREAKING WAY! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!-
I feel my face heating up and internally whimper. At this type of moment, I really wish Courtney was here. "Oh my god... I-I"
-FREAKING PERIOD! WHY?! I THOUGHT I'D GET IT BY THE END OF THE MONTH!... WHY EXACTLY DID RAVEN HAVE TO SPOT IT!... D-DID THE REST OF THE CLASS SEE!!?-
"Wait, here." Raven leaves his bag next to me and hurries out the class. -What is he up to now?! Am I so disgusting?! Oh my gawd...-
I try not to cry and to calm down, but it's no use. I'm embarrassed as hell!
The people don't seem have seen me yet. I hastily grab a tissue and rubbing alcohol out from my bag. I managed to remove the stain on the chair, but not the memory from him and I. -ARGH!-
Raven returns and secretly hands me a pink package. "Change in the restroom. I'll wait for you." He grabs our bags and then my hand. -A sanitary napkin!... What an angel! Just when I was about to ask some girls. I literally forgot mine...-
-I think, I'm really going to cry... He acts as if nothing happened. He isn't even disgusted and doesn't make fun of me... Nath would've roasted me to death!-
"T-Thank you..." I quietly mumble and don't dare to look at him. I try my best to avoid his face and stare at the floor, because I know, I'm going to cry if I looked at him.
"No need to mention it." He says.
As soon as I get in the restroom, I wear the napkin and curse myself, when I spot the big stain around my butt.
-WHY DID I HAVE TO WEAR LIGHT BLUE JEANS!?... HE FREAKING GOT ME A NAPKIN!!! ISN'T IT WORSE ENOUGH ALREADY THAT HE SAW ME LIKE THIS?!.... Oh no... What do I do now?! How should I act infront of him!?-

After school, I decided to drive her home. I may not be a girl, but I can imagine the struggles they have, when they have to wait in a cold ass weather or take a walk for hours. -I really respect women. I mean, they bring babies to the world. How bad ass is that?!-
Beside me sits the girl of my dreams. Yes, I'm a witness for her 'worst' moment and she acts like it's the end of the world.
-She looks so cute.- Amanda hasn't been talking and I assume that it's because she's embarrassed.
-I don't understand it. It's fucking natural and there's no need to be ashamed of that. I mean, yeah I saw her. So? In the future, if we get together, she won't need to be embarrassed for anything. Not to me.-
"Are you alright?" I ask and stop driving as the traffic lights turn red.
I look over to her, but she avoids my eyes. "Yeah..." She sounds nervous.
I place my hand on hers, making her look at me. I warmly smile and rub my thumb on her pale skin as a comfort. "Just to clear things out. This will stay between us and no, you don't need to be embarrassed for anything."
She blushes and tightens her hand on mine. -Argh, shit!- "T-Thank you very much... I'm so sorry you had to see me in this situation and help me, because of my... period."
-If only I could kiss her, right now.-
The traffic lights turn green and she releases her hand off mine, but I grab it back and place our hands on the steering wheel, as I continue to drive.
"You don't need to apologise for anything. I told you, everything is fine, right? Do you expect me to be an immature brat and leave you? Hell nah. " I chuckle, making her blush.
She suddenly places her head on my shoulder, making me nervous. -Why the sudden attack? I'm really going to die. Fucking cute!- "Where did you get the napkin?"
-Ah...- "Does it matter?" I ask, making her smile.
"Honestly, yes." -Fuck.-
I blush and look away from her. "I asked a girl..."
"She gave it to you without asking?" She unbelievably asks.
"She asked me, why I needed one." My heart is about to explode, because I'm being nervous and shy at the same time. -What the fuck!? That was embarrassing for me!-
She stays silent for a moment. "What did you say?"
"That I'm on my period." I honestly admit, making her bursts into laughter. -Cute. Atleast now she's laughing.- I find myself smiling and blushing at the same time.
"Are you serious?" She asks and I nod. "She really believed you?"
"I mean, it's believable. I could pass as a girl with my looks. I think, this is why she gave it to me." I joke, making her laugh louder. I grunt and eventually join her.
She shakes her head and tries to breath. "You look too manly." -oh my?-
Call me whatever you want, I just love teasing her. A smirk curves up my lips as I stare at her. "So, you admit that I'm manly as in good-looking?"
"Raven." She warns me and grins. -I know, baby. I'm an asshole.-
"Yes or no?" I have my grin still remaining on my face.
She rolls her eyes at me and sighs. "Since you've helped me out and were honest about the 'napkin story'... yes."
"Better than any other guy?" I grin wider. -Oh, how I love teasing her.-
"Don't get carried away!" She laughs.
-I guess. Atleast, she admitted that I look good.-

Raven is a sweet little bun. He is literally an angel! It doesn't matter what I am going through right now. My stomach aches, but with him beside me, it feels like it doesn't even exist anymore.
Before he brought me home, he stopped by a shop and I waited in the car. -I wonder, what he bought.-
I'm in my bathroom right now. Taking a shower and trying to calm down. I stare at my shaking hands.
-He held my hand tight... It made my heart skip beats and I was awkwardly nervous beside him... I LAYED MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS! UGH! I'M SO STUPID!-
After cleaning myself up and having an emotional breakdown, I finally got out of the bathroom.
In my bedroom, I spot Raven sitting on my bed with a glass of water in his hand. "Here."
"Thanks." I take it and he hands me a plastic bag.
"I didn't know if you had any painkillers for period cramps or napkins at home, so I just bought them." He has a light pink shade around his cheeks and looks at the plastic bag. -This is why he stopped by the shop! .... Awww, he really thought about me... so sweet and kind.-
I blush and take it. "Thank you very much." I managed to smile and he returns it to me.
He pats my bed beside him. "C'mere. Next to me, please." -He sounds like a little child.-
I do as I'm told and giggle. "And now?"
Little did I know, he takes out a little bottle. "May I massage you?" He asks and looks serious.
-WHAT!? IS HE FOR REAL NOW?!-
I feel my face heating up again and I shake my head. "N-No! You've done enough already, Raven. This is too much-"
He tilts his head to the side and frowns, like a child. "Pretty please? I promise, it will help you get rid of those menstrual cramps."
-What the freaking flames!?-
"Why are you helping me?" I stupidly ask, making him smile.
"I may not be a girl, but I kinda know the struggle?" He shrugs. -Wow.-
"Wouldn't it be weird? I mean... you're a boy and I'm a girl..." I mumble and he suddenly laughs.
"Amanda, Did you really thought I'm being perverted?" He shakes his head. "You're the only one, who thought that way."
-WHAT!?-
"N-NO! IT'S JUST COMMON SENSE! I MEAN, C'MON! I-IT IS WEIRD!" I bark and feel like an idiot. -Wow, am I the only one who thought this way?-
He chuckles and opens the bottle. Next, he pours the liquid into his hands and looks at me. "So, I may or do you really think this erotic?"
-GAWD! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?-
I turn around and lift my shirt a bit. I feel my face heating up again, but if I back away, he thinks I have a perverted mind. -Which I did, but I don't want him to know!- "J-Just the lower back." I say.
-This is so stupid! How come a good- looking jerk gets to spot me in my worst days and switch into my mom's role?! This is not normal!-
I feel his hand on my lower back, gently pressing it. -I don't want to sound or think perverted, but it feels really good! ....ARGHHH!!! I SOUNDED PERVERTED, DIDN'T I?!.....- I have really strong menstrual cramps and sometimes I can't even stand up. Right now, the way he massages makes me feel like, it is fading away.
To break the awkward silence between us, I ask him. "How do you know all of this stuffs?"
He continues hitting the painful spots. "I have a mom and a sister. I'm like a nurse for them. Sounds pretty stupid, I know." He says and softly giggles.
-So sweet. He's like a nurse for his family. They're lucky to have him.-
I catch myself smiling after hearing that. "No, not at all. I find it really sweet."
"If you say so." He shortly replies.

Amanda fell asleep after 30 minutes. I tug her with a blanket and run my fingers carefully through her dark and silky hair.
-Fuck! Why do I feel so attached to you?... Why can't we be together?... Are you thinking of me sometimes?... Do I appear in your dreams, just like you in mine?... Will you like me back, even though I'm not rich, like the two bastards?... Do you trust me?.. So many questions and more to come...-
I listen to her soft and cute snoring.
-Others would find that unattractive, but I really like it...Unless your name is Lance and you are my cousin, cause I'd really stuff tissues into your nostrils, just to wake you up and to finally get rid of my annoyance.-
I decided to stand up and do something. My eyes wander around her room and I catch myself smiling once again. Some clothes, books, accessories and even some left over food packages are everywhere.
-There's no way I'm letting her clean the house, when we get married. That's for sure!-
______________________________________
-AMANDA-
I feel the light piercing through my eyelids and I cover my face with the blanket. -There are many things I hate. This would be one! When you sleep and then light suddenly wakes you up.-
"... She fell asleep and I decided to take care..." -Who's talking?-
"...I see. Thank you for being there for her... I know-"
-WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING, WHEN I'M ASLEEP?! I CAN CLEARLY HEAR THEM!-
I try to blur the voices out, but get shaken by someone. "Wake up."
"...Nooo" I groan. "Let me sleep, mom!"
The person chuckles. "Open your eyes."
I stubbornly keep them shut and clench on my aching stomach. -It hurts, again.-
"So, you really don't want to wake up, huh?" The person says and then leans closer to me. "Wake up now, babe."
-WAIT A MINUTE! THIS ISN'T MOM!-
I hastily open my eyes and spot Raven, kneeling next to me with a smirk around his lips.
My heart is racing. I feel nervous and embarrassed at the same time. I quickly rub my eyes, just to make sure I'm not dreaming. -No use... It really is him... AHH!-
"Hey." He smiles and stands up.
"H-Hi?" I'm startled. -What do I do?-
He softly chuckles. "Seems like you wake up by the word, 'babe'. I should use it more often then." He catches me staring at him and winks.
He makes my heart skip beats and I gulp. "W-What is going on?"
"You fell asleep and your mom is already home." He says and I sigh.
-Mom is home?! Great, she might think we did something... ARGH!-
"Don't worry. I explained everything to her." He must've noticed the look on my face.
-I guess, my mom trusts him too much. Why doesn't that surprise me?-
I manage to smile at him. "Thank you."
"I've made some banana pie in the kitchen. Heard they are good for periods." He says and hands me a Starbucks paper bag. "Caramel Coffee and Doughnuts. Those are for you. Your family has some down stairs too."
-He really is an angel! He thinks ahead before others! It's so freaking sweet!-
I take it and blush. I notice that my room isn't so messy anymore. "Did you?-"
He seems like he knows what I'm about to say and nods. "I had plenty of time. Thought I should do something about it."
-That's it! I'm done! He's way too good!-
"Thank you very much... I don't know, how to thank you enough... What do you want in return?" I feel tears raising up my eyes. -GOSH! DON'T BE EMOTIONAL! -
"Just smile." He forms a smile around his lips and I pull him into a tight hug.
"That's not-... You're an angel! I will return it to you one day!" I say and squeeze him tight. I feel his muscular arms around my body and take a moment to feel his warmth. He smells so good.
"Says the one, who makes me happy everyday." He replies.
