When Raven came back to school, she was surprised when she discovered that Emata dropped out of school. And as for Olah and Anna, they never even dared to look at Raven in the eye or even come a millimeter nearer to her ever again. I don’t know what my sister did to them to make them fear me this much, but whatever she said, they were definitely not going to disturb me anymore.
Everybody started to hate them too. Somehow, even if they were their enemy, Raven still felt a twinge of sympathy for them.
At last, summer came. Usually, The Ventrem family goes to Greece for the holidays to visit the Lyndon family, a very close family friend of theirs. It was a give and take kind of thing. But curiously, Genavieve specifically ordered Raven not to go. She said that Daniel and Raven were going to Paris instead.
Although Raven felt uncomfortable in going to Paris alone with him, after much hesitation and considerations, Raven eventually agreed to it. Besides, it was her only chance to get to see Paris without any chaperone to baby-sit her. And she really does not have any choice but to accede to it. When Genavieve makes her mind up into something, not even their mom could defy it.
You may wonder, that Italy at such a close distance to Paris compared to Greece, why have they never went to Paris yet? Rita and the kids never really had the time or the dilemma to visit there. It would always be Greece, Greece and more Greece! The twins were actually getting tired of it, but they have already grown accustom to it.
"So… PARIS… here we come!"
Chapter 7
“WOW! It’s truly incredible! I can’t believe this!” Raven marveled at the beauty of Paris.
They were on the Eiffel tower, overlooking the whole city. Being up there was truly amazing. The city light’s beautified the whole place even more. It seemed so romantic, especially at night. Raven can hear the violin being played, the soft laughter, and the French people speaking their language. Paris really is the city of romance. It was just plain magnificent.
“Hey Raven; let’s take a picture as a souvenir and for our Facebook.” Daniel suggested, holding Raven's digital camera; “Yeah, sure.” she smiled. They posed a picture together.
Raven looked at the photo and admired it. “Isn’t it beautiful?” She said. All of a sudden he looked at her seriously, and leaned to her closer.
“Yes, absolutely ravishing.” He huskily whispers in her ear. Raven gulped nervously. “I-I think… we should treasure this f-forever.” she tried changing the topic. Raven did not know why, but all of a sudden, the atmosphere instantaneously turned so serious... Raven could hardly breathe.
He came closer and pulled her closer to him. Cold sweat perspired through her. She felt so nervous. She did not know what to do. She was paralyzed in his arms. He was acting so weirdly. Raven could not stop herself from shaking. He came closer and closer. He had this, dark look of desire in his eyes. This situation seemed to be so outlandish. And just when Raven realized he was about to kiss her, she suddenly remembered someone.
He was glaring at her. She has never seen him so furious before. He looked like he would bite her head off. But instead of getting scared, she wanted to comfort him for something Raven could not even understand. "Why was Mr. Dream so mad with me?" but before Raven could even come any closer, he walked away.
*End of dreamy stance*
Raven instantly snapped from her stupor and went back to reality. Before Daniel could even come any closer, Raven pushed him away. He looked at her dubiously, wondering why she did that.
“I’m sorry Daniel. I can’t do this. I can’t let myself fall for you.” Raven mumbled lamely, trying not to look into his face, fearing she would get guiltier than she already was.
Raven was about to leave him when he suddenly held her by the wrist. She stopped and stared at him questioningly.
“Why do you always have to push me away? I’m here Raven. I’m here begging you to please like me, even just a little bit? Why can’t you give me a chance?” he inquired. Raven sighed.
“I just can’t okay? I already like someone else. Just leave me alone.” Raven retorted back, for an instant Raven saw a flash of emotion in his eyes, but then he reverted back to his old self. She wanted to reach out to him and apologize, but she was too afraid losing control of her emotions that she decided to just run away from him, as far as possible from him.
