Raven White has been in foster care and orphanages for as long as she can remember. She gets made fun of horribly for her name, her looks, and her music taste. But one day, Patrick Stump will walk through the doors of the orphanage and change her li...

Raven's POV
I felt someone gently shaking me awake, but I didn't want to get up. "Go away." I mumbled into my bedsheet.
"Come on, Raven. You gotta get up. You have school today." I heard Patrick say from above me.
I pulled my sheets further over my head. "I don't wanna go."
"Pete, do you wanna take this?" I heard Patrick say. Suddenly, I felt the covers being torn off of me, light shining in my eyes. I curled up into a ball, letting out a small yelp.
"Up! Up!" Pete yelled from above me.
"No!" I said stubbornly. I felt myself being lifted up out of bed, then being thrown over a shoulder. When I opened my eyes, I saw the floor underneath me, and I screamed and held onto Pete's shirt. "Okay, okay! I'm up, I'm up!" I yelled.
Pete put me down and I saw him smiling. "I guess that's all it took."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, tossing me over your shoulder." I gave him a sarcastic thumbs up. "Real great tactics there."
"Well, you're up, aren't you?" Pete asked.
"Yeah. Now leave so I can change." I said, pushing both Patrick and Pete out of the room. Once they are out, I slammed the door shut. I honestly didn't want to go to school today, much less any other time of the year. And I most certainly didn't understand why Patrick wanted me to go to public school so bad. I mean, both Pete and Joe said that it was a bad idea, but no. I just had to go anyways.
I walked over to my closet and pulled out my Fall Out Boy tank top, a red and black pair of jeans, a pair of black shorts over my jeans and a pair of shoes. I decided to also grab my black leather jacket, pulling it over the tank top.

After I finished getting dressed, I threw on some eyeliner and put my hair in a messy braid. I opened the door and walked downstairs with my Blurryface backpack. When I got downstairs, I saw that everybody was already up, and when I reached the bottom step, they all looked at me.
"Morning." I said, making a beeline for the front door, but Patrick stopped me.
"Hey! You have to eat first." He said.
I turned around and faced him, giving my best apologetic look. "I'm not hungry."
He sighed before giving me a disapproving look. "You have to eat, Raven."
Now it was my turn to sigh. "Fine." I walked over to the food pantry and pulled out a box of cereal, pouring into a bowl. I sat down at the counter and ate it quickly, trying my best to not concentrate on the fact that I was eating more than I was supposed to. I finally finished eating and put the bowl in the sink and ran back to the door.
"Can we go now?" I asked eagerly.
Patrick chuckled. "For someone who didn't want to go, you sure are eager."
I rolled my eyes. "I just want to go so I can get this over with."
"Whatever you say."
I climbed into the car, Patrick close behind me. He started driving and we were at the school within five minutes. When we pulled up, I saw that the name of the school was Hinsdale Central High School. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.
"Raven!" I turned around and saw Patrick stepping out of the car and jogging up to me. When he reached me, he smiled wide and gave me a huge hug. "I hope you have a good day. I love you."
I smiled and hugged him back. "Love you too, Dad."
He let me go and rubbed the back of his neck. "I should get going. I don't want you to be seen with your dad."
I laughed and gripped my backpack straps. "But you're cool, remember?"
"Ah, yes. I remember now." Patrick said while walking backward. He smiled at me one last time before climbing into the car again. I turned around and took a deep breath before walking into the school.
It took me maybe five seconds before I realized that I had absolutely no idea where I was at or where I was going. I then spotted a sign that showed me where the office was, so I followed the directions to the office.
When I walked into the office, I went to the lady sitting at the front desk. She kept looking at her computer, so I cleared my throat expectantly. She still was watching her computer, so I spoke up. "Um, hi? I'm new and I need my schedule."
The lady finally looked up and glared at me. "Name?"
"Raven Black." I said, leaning on the desk slightly.
The lady typed my name into the system, glaring at the screen. "There is no Raven Black here."
I shook my head, confused. "What? That doesn't make sense, I have-" Then it clicked. "Try Raven Stump."
The lady repeated the process again, this time coming up successful. She printed out a piece of paper and handed it to me. "Here's your schedule."
When I took it, I walked out of the office again, taking a deep breath and wondering if this school would be any different.
