The Crush That Haunts Her

My Story

My Story

My Name is Raven Bell, I am 24 years old, and I graduated from Stanford with Ph.D. in

My major is psychology, and I am new to Los Angeles, as it is very different from my hometown in Upper Ohio.

I need to get away from my hometown because stuff just got out of hand there, which made me run away.

I hope I never run into any of them awful cruel, and evil classmates ever again. Even though I am crushing on the ringleader Drake Boggs, I heard from Leka, my best friend, that she heard from Aaron Jones, her husband. Yes, she is now married to one of the bullies of mine. Still, he had grown up after Leka had a word with him on the same grateful night after graduation when he and his friend Jack taped me when I was waiting for Drake to show up. Aaron is a lot nicer to me now, and he also apologizes to me, but he said, "Hey, Ravey, just wanted to let you know that my boy Drake has been out there where I just moved out where I am now. For another pro football team, and he is still dating Ferra Dostons, the worst of them all. She was an evil little thing. Even though she was tiny, she was so cruel and awful to me and anyone who wasn't in her little gang. Anyway, they live out here where I am living now.

I am walking down towards the beach after I just unpacked my stuff in my own house that I paid for out of the money I saved from my odd jobs when I was in college; now I am so happy I am feeling free now.

The freedom didn't last long when I heard someone yell at me, "Raven is that you omg, it is you."

I look behind me, and I see Marissa Locket, who is Ferra Bestie. I am like, "Hello Maria, how you been? "I replied to her. "Fine, I am just out here to see Drake and Ferra. You know they live just down the road from the beach. would you like to walk with me to see them?" I was shaking and just replied to her with a no with my heart aching. My heart still hurts when she ditched me for Ferra.

Maria used to be one of my good friends until Ferra came into town around 8th grade.

I let her know, thanks, but I will pass. I have to get back to the little cottage I bought and told her where, and when she is like maybe I will visit you sometime" I replied "That be a visit I am looking forward to" with a smile on my face, but when she wasn't looking I had what you call a frightening face.

I say my goodbyes and head down towards the beach. I sit down to catch my breath and breathe in and out, then I lay down on my towel on the sand and feel the breeze and watch the sunset. I look up. I see some celebrities on the beach getting hounded by fans and paparazzi.

I giggle in my hand when I see Jack Black running down the beach away from them, and he is heading towards where the cars are parked. It's pretty funny.

Why did I move out here, and why is he still with Ferra, the little b***h from my worst days of school. I hope I do not run into them any time soon, but known Marissa, she probably told both of my worst of the bullies, and one of them is the one I am madly in love with; indeed, life right now for me was great until that call from Leka, and then Aaron warned me, "Just be careful" he says. I was like, "ok, bro," when I was on the video call with them both. They look so good together. I always thought they did before they got together, and since then, they haven't been apart. And I told them to hurry up and give me some nieces and nephews so I can spoil them." I say. They both laughed. "Well, maybe one day, but not any day soon." They both said. I let them go and say goodbye, and I love them both". "You know I bet when Drake sees you again, and he will be begging forgiveness Aaron mentions before we end the video call.

My thoughts were running away from me again. I kept saying I will be very cautious and well alert when I am out.

Just when my thoughts kept coming and coming, I heard a sound, and I watched the sun slowly going down. It is so beautiful here in Venice Beach.

I looked down then I noticed it was my phone. I looked at the number, "what? "I said out loud. I thought no could be Drake calling me because Aaron gave him my number; I answered my phone, then I heard Raven. Hey, I wondered if you could meet. "I was like, who is this?" Then he is like," Aaron said you moved out here, and I am Drake's and Ferra's cookout. Would you like to accompany me to the cookout today around 7 PM? I am like, wait a minute, Seth, Seth, no way. Is that you, Seth Dallas? Is that you"? He laughs and says, "Yeap, it is

I am thinking about what is going on. I am so stumped. It's a weird day, especially when I run into all of them that bullied me. What is going on today with my ex-bullies? Do they want to be in my life?

"Hello, Raven, are you there"? Seth asks.

"Oh, yes, I am here sorry about that anyway what did you ask again"? I answered him back.

"Would you like to be my date to Drake's cookout around 7 PM this evening? He is celebrating getting on the Pro Football team in LA." He asked.

"I had no idea Drake was a Pro Football player. Where was he before?" I asked.

"He was on the Cleveland Browns after he got drafted from OSU In Ohio. He says.

"Oh, wow, Browns are my Favorite Pro Football team," I told him

"Mine too." He says.

"But anyway, would you like to accompany me to the party this evening?" He asked again.

.

I am like, "No, how about a rain check Seth." I reply back

Seth, says "Ok, how about this weekend we go get dinner? This little Chinese restaurant is to die for." he answers.

"Yes, Seth, that be great thanks, see you this weekend. Take care, buddy," I say.

Then we both hang up, and then I am stupid, stupid I just called him buddy like I am a friend and not someone going on a date with Seth.

When we went to school, I remember him as the nice one out of the gang, and sometimes when Marie was alone, she was too.

Anyway, now I am heading to grab some dinner and head back to my little cottage by the ocean.
