Chapter 24: The Chance Of a Lifetime

RAVEN(Raven's P.O.V.)

It was getting late as we finally left the beach the sunset swirled in the mist of darkness. Adam told me he was picking me up at 8 but we all know it takes more than two hours for a girl to get ready.

Lilian was taking me to get this halter dress I looked at online at my favorite store.Which today has a 75% off SALE! I could feel my cheeks turn red from excitement.

It was perfect and with it I know our date with be the perfect chance to start over. My heart aches thinking about starting over in my own little world and not the big world In which I've did starting over once before. Lilian starts jumping and singing as loud as she can turning the only song she plays on repeat as loud as she can.

"Give it to me I'm worth it!" She taps on the steering wheel shaking her head to the beat and for a moment it makes me think about Eric when we play little Einsteins on the radio.

He screams the words he knows and claps like nobody's watching then he looks up at you with his eyes making you believe that the world can still give you hopes and dreams. I wake out of my day dream to see a unfamiliar store not the one that looked like it held MY HALTER DRESS. I felt myself getting infuriated.

"Why are we here?" I felt my voice crack in a mixture of screaming and trying to stay calm. Lilian looks at me with a smirk " We're getting your playboy outfit silly." She turns the car off and starts walking towards the store "LILIAN WE"RE SUPPOSE TO GET MY DRESS!" I scream rushing after her.

Sadly the cheer leading running hasn't been helping at all because I'm out of breath by the time I make it to the store door. Lilian pats my shoulder making the blood rush up to my head faster I flip my hair up shrugging her arm off in the process. "Take a breath you don't look cute when your tired." She laughs opening the door for me.

I wanted to make her eye black but I felt like I ran a marathon. "I got your dress shipped to the house with a pair of strappy closed toe heels from my one and only shoe stylist" She scaled the store until she found something

"You...you made me run after you and you could have just told me that." I grab my side and walk up by her "Why tell you when that was the best shit I've seen all year." she continues almost crying from her laughing so hard " I wish I could have had that on camera" I frown waiting for her to finish

"Literally I didn't know if you were going to bite me or talk" she starts coughing and I grin "That's what you get." I blow my breath on her making her hair sway and she fakes dying "Ewww come on lets get your Lingerie costume and go." She wipes at her face like a fly was attacking her.

She picks out 3 pieces "What's the point of a Slut party we're basically naked to all the guys who will also be basically naked?" I ask "I'm not really comfortable with my body showing off like a piece of meat to guys." I put my arm around my body "It's like welcoming an orgy to happen." Lilian pushes the clothes in my hand

" Look it's fun we're young and beautiful people and besides only specific sophomores like mu ah and up can enter the party so no crimes even if we tried" now go change you only have an hour before we can get home and make u pretty for Adam."

I take a deep breath and look at Lilian one more time Finally I walk in the dressing room and look at them

The first I tried on was a full black lacy top corset with black stockings, a choker and black boots I walk out to show Lilian and she barely blinks "No , You look like a witch but a hot witch of course."

I laugh to show agreement then walk back in and put on pink and black corset but as soon as I felt it on my body I knew it wasn't the one.

"Not the corset !" I yell to Lilian "Still try the last one !" she replies I pick up the two piece, pink with stripes with strapped pale heels and a pale blazer to make it sophisticated sexy I immediately walk out and pull Lilian to the register "This is the one" she looks at me flabbergasted "I didn't see it on you" she frowns "Well it'll be a surprise like yours" I smile as the women puts it in a bag and hands it to me "Now vamos." pushing her out the door. I can't believe I'm doing this tomorrow is all I could think.

We make it to the house just on time Lilian taught me how to do the cat eye with my eyeliner and my lips were plumped with a new pink raspberry stick. And of course my halter dress and heels to die for.

"Raven Dear someone's down here for you!" Aunt voice echos and I feel my skin jumping "Show him this is one chance of a lifetime Alexis." Lilian smiles at me dressed up because she had an event to attend.

"Thanks" I feel my heart grow bigger for her. For once someone still treats me like Alexis and not Raven. Ethan almost bumps into me his face turns firemen red "You look cool."he comments . "Thank you?" I smile "Yup..." he just stares at me not moving at all.We stand for a second but he coughs and walks to the bathroom.

When he shuts the door I start to walk down to my date. "You look Stunning dear." Aunt says tugging on Uncle to look from his deep conversation with a dressed guy who was to good looking to recognize that he was Adam Smith at the moment . Uncle looks at Aunt with a frown but then looks up at me " She does doesn't she, Adam ?" he watches for Adam to reply

"Umm.. yes Ser but I believe Beautiful is the word." he puts my hand into his and set his gaze locked on mine like he could see energy jumping off my every breath. "Shall we?" he grins the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. "We shall."

We're seated in a french cuisine restaurant as if we were in Paris everything was decorated with much care to make you see the true beauty of Paris and it's many sites. "Bonjour I'm Feliz I'll be your waiter, What wouldz yu like to drink? ore are yu ready to ordere?"

"Can I order for you?" Adam ask because he must have notice I was confused with the menu the only things I could understand was the seafood area.

"Please do" I tell him he nods and gives the man our order in fluent french. I hung on to each word more astonished as he seem to tell the waiter a joke.

the waiter walks away and I look at him as he drinks his iced water . "What?" he asks " How do you know french that well?" He doesn't act surprised at all and matter of fact takes another sip of his water " My father trades with the french,so it was important for me to learn for when I get older." we kinda drift into a silence but he quickly comes back.

Soon we're laughing then we're eating our appetizer which I must say is seemingly delicious. Just when we're at the highlight of the date a flash of blonde hair and a high pitched giggle turned it up side down.

My head snapped towards the the couple that had walked in and my smile dropped down to a frown.

"Raven, are you okay?" But nothing seemed to come out.

My eyes were fixed onto Luke who was laughing along with his slutty date, Paisley.

See his lips curve into a smile made mine go deeper into a frown and I abruptly stood up.

"Raven, sweetheart. Tell me what's wrong?" I looked at Adam and smiled.

"I just need to go to the little ladies room." He didn't look convinced but he sat back down and smiled back at me.

I nearly sprinted my way to the bathroom, trying to escape any of their gazes.

My hands slammed down onto the sink and I looked into my reflection.

My eyes were frightened but drooping down into sadness and I hated that.

The thought hit me that this date was supposed to be about Adam so I mustered up all the courage I had and made my way out the bathroom.

I looked to my side to see Adam standing there and I walked over to him.

"I'm sorry. I had to use the bathroom." He shook his head with a smile on his face.
