"Raven, come back!"
My legs doesn't stop running.
I take a turn to the left and I hit my body against something hard.
"Ow!" I hit my butt on the ground as my knee scraped the floor.
"Are you hurt?" I looked up to the tall, handsome, stranger.
He had ice eyes and his hair style was a mid length soft layered, wavy hairstyle bangs that falls across the forehead and he had sharp jawline that brings out his features; veiny hands and he was also 6'2 in height.
"My head hurts"
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there" He smiled and stretched out his hand out for me.
I shook my head, "No, carry me"
"You sure…"
"Raven!" A familiar voice called out. I turned my back to see Racheal. "I told you to stop running…" She bent to my level and her eyes looked up to the stranger, "I'm so sorry if she caused you any trouble. She's not okay at the moment"
"I told you to stop saying that" I glared at her, "I am okay!"
"Is something wrong with her?" The stranger asked.
"She's okay" Racheal smiled at him.
"Let go of me" I said, trying to get away from her grip but she wouldn't let me.
"Do you need help?" The stranger asked again.
"No, she's fine" She looked at me, "It's about to rain, lets go" My lips pulled up to a smile,
"If you let go of me, I won't run"
"Fine" She let go of my arm, I stood up and dusted my skirt.
"Sorry, once again for all of these" Racheal said.
"I love your eyes" I turned to him.
"Thank you"
"Are you from here or your from Mars because you're super cute" I giggled.
"Raven, stop!" She hissed.
"No, it's okay" The stranger said.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Jeremiah, yours?"
"Jeremiah…" I smiled, "It's a cute name. I'm Raven and I love your name and I want to be your friend. Do you wanna be mine?"
"Sure. I would love to be your friend" He smiled at me.
I turned to Racheal, "I have another friend"
She smiled, "I see. Can we go now?"
I turned to him, "It was nice talking to you and I hope I see you next time" I pulled him into a hug and pulled back. "Race you to the car" I giggled at Racheal then took off.
"I'm so sorry about her"
"Racheal!, I don't think you want to lose!" I yelled and smiled at her before leaving.

I looked through my closet while humming a song and I picked out a flay black skirt, a white shirt, a black tie with a knee high socks and my shoe. I let down my hair, wear my perfume, took my backpack and head downstairs.
"Where did you go last night?"
I didn't answer.
"Answer me!" She pulled me back.
"I was with Rachel, ask her" I simply say.
"You're a loser. Nobody wants you so if your seeing anyone – don't, they won't last" She hit my shoulder as she walks away.
That has been my life now, ever since my father married that devil and brought her little demon with her, my home has never been peaceful. My sweet, loving father had an affair with a woman and due to that my mother took pills to keep her in check but it messed her up so my mother is currently in rehab – a private one and my father wants it that way so his image wouldn't be ruined. I had mental issues when I turned thirteen due to some fact like trauma watching my mother dying slowly and hitting my head against a wall – in courtesy, My step mother. I arrived to my college not so long and I have Racheal by my side. Racheal is my mothers' best friends child and she looks after me because of my state and she has been my best friend since we were born and nothing has ever separated us. Ever.
"You have to stop running" She scolds.
"I can't stop. Now your just being mean to me"
"How? I just told you what not to do and now I'm being mean to you?"
"Yes. I think you're a meanie" I said and she rolled her eyes at me. "You see?" She chuckled,
"Let's get you to class before you start yelling at me for taking you to class late"
"Your a late comer" I said and I stood in front of my class.
"Yeah, and your the righteous one" I gave her a playful glare which earned a chuckle.
"Have fun with Luke" I teased and she rolled her eyes and left. I walked into the class and I smile at everyone I see. They always smile back at me unlike Hannah my step sister. She's just rude to everyone. I sit down in the middle row and I drop my books on the table – Racheal always hold my books because Hannah once burnt them because I stepped on her foot and it was a mistake.
"Is this seat taken?" A deep, masculine voice asked. I looked up to see the stranger from yesterday.
"Jere!" I smiled at him.
He smiled back and sat down, "I remember you"
"Of course you would. I told you I loved your eyes" I smiled.
"Right, and I love yours too"
"Awwn! Thank you. I hope you really mean that" I smiled.
"I do"
"You are from here?"
"Yes I am, but schooled in NYC before moving here" He smiled and I nodded.
I looked through my backpack and brought out my favorite candy. "Do you love gummies?"
He had a different expression I couldn't read. I brought out another one, "Do you love chocolates?"
He smiled, "Why you so care-free?"
"I don't know maybe because I like you and besides you are my friend, aren't you?" I asked.
"Of course I am but why do you like me?" He asked.
"I'm the only child, okay? I think we are brothers and sisters, like siblings" He laughed,
"You can already tell?"
"I don't tell, I know" I smiled.
"That's unnatural. I have a little sister already" He said and I grinned.
"I bet she's pretty like you. I would love to meet her" I smiled, "Does she love chocolates, gummies or candy sweets?"
He chuckled, "That's a lot of question, Princess"
Princess?.
I like it.
"I'm sorry, I must have talked too much" I frowned.
He placed his hand on mine, "Never apologize when you did nothing wrong besides my little sister is gonna love you."
I grinned again, "Really?" He nodded. "Then I would get her all the candies in this planet when I see her" I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Your extraordinary, Princess" He smiled.
