Dexter Charming was sitting on Raven's bed. He had come over to help her with a Crownculus project. They were supposed to design their dream castle and then calculate the perimeter and area. Raven wasn't very good with numbers, so Dexter had volunteered to help her. That, and hang out with his crush.

Raven walked in. "Hey, Dex. Ready to get to work?"

"Yeah."

"So are you doing anything on Friday?" Dexter asked after a few minutes of silence.

"I'm going to the dance" Raven said. "With Maddie, Bunny, and Ginger. Are you going with anyone?"

"I'll ask Alistair if he wants to go."

Raven giggled. "Bunny and Alistair would make a good couple. It kills me that they don't know they like one another."

"Yeah" Dexter said. "Maybe their worried that their crush only sees them as a friend."

Raven sighed. "I can understand that."

"How?" Dexter asked.

"I think my crush views me has a friend" Raven said.

Dexter raised his eyebrows. "Who do you like?"

Raven blushed. "No one you know. He likes someone else. That's all he ever talks about; how great this one girl is. If I knew who she was I'd yell at her for not realizing what a great guy he is."

"Who is he?" Dexter asked.

"How about this?" she said. "I'll tell you who I like if you tell who you like."

"Sounds fair" Dexter said. "On the count of three... one, two, three!"

"You!" Raven and Dexter cried in unison. Silence.

"Uh, well then" Dexter said. He started to gather his things.

"Wait!" Raven cried. "Do you want to go to the dance with me?"

He smiled and nodded.
