Not the last part after all. Thanks to danesskie they have given me more ideas and have inspired me to write more. I apologize for the two previous stories being really late.

(BILLY)

I drove to school today with Serena in the passenger seat next to me, she looked pissed completely miserable. I knew she didn't like going to school anymore but it had to be done. We had one more year left anyway I pulled into the parking lot and almost hit someone.

(???)

I was transfered into a new school about 3 days ago. It was my first time actually coming in and not banking, and just my luck as I was walking with my music blaring through my headphones I see a car in the corner of my eye and it almost hit me! The guy in the driver seat looked slightly concerned but also annoyed at the same time but when I looked over he had a white haired girl next to him that was completely manic she stuck her head out the window and started yelling at me. I didn't care and put my headphones back over my ears before walking off into the school.

Thinking about it they looked extremely familiar. I had no time to think about that and headed straight to Math, great Math being first period. Ugh I hated math, while walking into math I saw the guy from earlier he was the only one with an open seat next to him so that's where I sat, kids in the class looked at me as if I'd grown two heads. I - "Hey sorry for almost hitting you this morning, my names Billy." I was drawn from my thoughts by the guy next to me. He had a small smile as he looked at me with his head cocked to the side. "Uh, it's cool. My names Ravenna but everyone just calls me Raven." I said giving a tight smile to the brown eyed boy who, I might say was extremely good looking.

(BILLY)

I was going to ignore her and not acknowledge he existence but she was to cute for me to ignore. She looked like she had many secrets and as if she could keep a few. Ravenna has striking, long jet-black hair that falls down her back like a waterfall of night. Her piercing green eyes seem to gleam in the dark, and her bold, crimson lips curve into a sly smile. She has a slender yet athletic build, she wore a black crop top, a pentagram necklace, baggy torn jeans and big heavy black boots. I could see myself liking a girl like her, she had calluses on her fingers and it intrigued me, since our math teacher wasn't going to be here today I decided to start talking to her. "What happened to your fingers?" I was genuinely confused, she looked at me confidently almost as if she had made a bet and was winning it. "I play guitar and I drum sometimes." She said looking over at me and leaning on her left hand, I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed talking to Ravenna. She was smart, witty, and had a dark sense of humor that resonated with me. We spent the entire math class discussing music, art, and our shared love of the macabre. I was surprised by how much we had in common.

As the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Ravenna turned to me with a mischievous grin. "Hey, Billy, want to meet up at the old warehouse on Saturday? I'm playing a gig with my band, and I think you'd appreciate the vibe."

I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should get involved with someone new, especially given my complicated situation with Serena and Stu. But there was something about Ravenna that drew me in. "Yeah, sure. I'll be there."

She smiled, and we exchanged numbers. As I walked out of class, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. What had I just gotten myself into?

(RAVENNA)

I watched Billy walk out of class, feeling a thrill of satisfaction. I had a feeling he was the kind of guy who needed a little push to embrace his true nature. And I was just the person to give him that push.

Saturday couldn't come soon enough. I had a feeling that Billy would fit right in. As I entered fifth period I received a text. 'Meet me by the fountain at lunch?' It was a random number, obviously Billy. Of course she agreed and was excited to see what would happen. Even though lunch was only in 40 minutes it felt like eternity, when the bell finally rang I walked happily to the fountain. I didn't see Billy but I saw two people the white haired girl with green eyes that was in the car with him this morning. She was in the lap of a taller boy who had his long arms snaked around her waste and they looked as if they were enjoying their conversation. I felt a tap on my shoulder I looked over and saw Billy, "You came?" He sounded genuinely please but also confused I nodded happily as we walked to the two other students. Bully introduced me to them, Serena who was his sister. And Stu - his best friend slash his sisters boyfriend.

I sat down awkwardly next to Billy as he started to ear his lunch. Thinking about it they were all eating I was the only one that wasn't and Billy seemed to find that odd as he offered me a little cookie. I took it reluctantly, I didn't like eating at schools as it may be hard to believe but I wasn't always a skinny and athletic goth girl. I took a bite of the cookie, trying to hide my discomfort. Billy's eyes lingered on me, and I could sense his curiosity. I didn't want to reveal too much, not yet. Serena and Stu seemed friendly, but there was an undercurrent of tension between them and Billy. I sensed a complicated history. As we ate, Billy filled me in on their relationships. Serena and Stu were a couple, and Billy was their self-proclaimed "protector." I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the dynamics.

Suddenly, Serena's expression darkened. "Billy, we need to talk." Her voice was low and urgent. Billy's eyes narrowed, and he nodded. "What's up, sis?" Stu stood up allowing Serena to leave, his eyes locked on me. "Let's take a walk." Billy followed her, leaving me alone with Stu. I watched them disappear into the crowd, feeling a shiver run down my spine. What secrets were they hiding? And why did I feel like I was being pulled into their twisted world?
