Summary Of: Where is she?
Sabrina eagerly looks forward to watching Raven's relay practice again but decides not to invite Mae to avoid potential awkward situations. She sneaks away during lunch to watch Raven practice alone. Sabrina is surprised to see Mark hugging Raven but realizes her mistake as she continues to watch. She admires Raven's appearance in the sports team uniform and frets over the intense competition. However, she is in awe of Raven's determination and athleticism as she competes with fast runners. After practice, Raven wonders about the mystery person she saw earlier but couldn't verify their identity. She reflects on how much time she has been spending on sports practice and returns to her Italian class, feeling unenthusiastic about it.

ππππ ππ ππ ππππ?
Before she could finish her train of thought, Sabrina caught her attention from inside the class. Using sign language, Sabrina signaled for Raven to come in. Raven couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully at the fact that she had taught Sabrina sign language, which now gave her away whenever Sabrina wanted her to join her in class.
"I regret teaching her sign language," Raven chuckled to herself, knowing that Sabrina's persistence wouldn't leave her with much of a choice. With a shrug, she decided to comply and quietly make her way into the classroom, without disrupting the class.
As Raven entered the Italian class, the teacher noticed her presence, and a hint of humor crept into the teacher's voice as she said, "Look who's back after a long time to attend class." Raven couldn't help but smirk at the remark, knowing she had been spending a lot of her time on the sports field lately.
"Miss..." Raven responded, her voice trailing off as she made her way to the familiar spot where she, Sabrina, and Parker usually sat together. However, upon reaching the spot, she noticed Parker's absence.
"Where is he?" Raven inquired, curious about her friend's whereabouts.
Sabrina replied, "He left halfway through the day because he was feeling sick."
"Ohh..." Raven responded, a tinge of concern in her voice. Though she and Parker often teased and bantered, they were good friends, and she couldn't help but worry about him when he wasn't around.
During the language class, with Parker absent, Sabrina and Raven found themselves seated together. Sabrina seized the opportunity to bring up the sight she witnessed earlier on the track.
"Hey, I saw you running today!" Sabrina said, clearly enthused about what she had observed.
Raven responded casually, "Oh, really?"
Raven's mind was a whirlwind of emotions as she replayed the moment in her head. "So it was you... Sabrina," she thought, her heart pounding in her chest. The realization that Sabrina had been watching her practice.
Sabrina's excitement bubbled as she continued, "Yeah, you were running so fast, like, really fast."
But Raven, never one to boast about her abilities, downplayed her own achievements, as if it wasn't a big deal to her. "Well, there are people in this school who can run even faster, you know..." she humbly remarked.
Sabrina shook her head, refusing to let Raven's modesty overshadow her accomplishments. "Come on, Raven, you were amazing out there! Your speed was impressive. I'm glad I got to see it," she said with genuine admiration.
Raven offered a small smile, appreciating Sabrina's encouragement. "Thanks, Sabrina. I guess I've been training hard lately, and it's paying off."
Sabrina nodded, understanding the dedication and effort Raven put into her training. "Well, it definitely shows. You're going to do great in the upcoming event. I have no doubt about it."
As Raven zoned out for a moment, her mind drifted to various thoughts. She found herself reflecting on the incident that had caught her attention and made her question who it might have been.
(π ππππ ππππ) To the time Raven went to change her shorts.
As Raven made her way towards the pavilion, her mind lingered on the familiar voice she had heard. "Why is she taking so long... I want to see her... run.." The words echoed in her ears, but she couldn't place the voice. It sounded vividly familiar, yet elusive, leaving her puzzled.
"Raven... where are you, bruh?," the voice continued, adding to the mystery. Raven's brows furrowed, trying to recall where she might have heard that voice before. It was on the tip of her tongue, but no name or face came to mind.
She paused for a moment, glancing around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the person speaking. But the pavilion was bustling with students, and she couldn't identify the source of the voice.
Shaking her head, Raven decided to focus on what was ahead of her. She had to change into her shorts and join her teammates for practice. Whatever or whoever that mysterious voice belonged to would have to wait. Running was her priority at the moment.
(ππππ ππ πππππππ πππππ)
Raven's thoughts took an unexpected turn, and a new possibility emerged. What if the mysterious voice she heard calling her name was actually Sabrina's? The idea seemed both intriguing and surprising, but Raven couldn't ignore the feeling of familiarity that accompanied the voice. It seemed to resonate with her on a deeper level, leaving her with an unshakable sense of connection.
Raven's heart pounded in her chest as she tested her theory about the mysterious voice she had heard earlier. She was both nervous and excited to see if her instincts were correct.
Sabrina's curious expression only added to Raven's uncertainty as she listened attentively to the repeated sentence. As Sabrina echoed the words, Raven's mind raced with possibilities. Could it really be her voice that she had heard before?
Taking a deep breath, Raven decided to continue with another phrase that had caught her attention.
"Where are you, bruh?" she asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.
Sabrina repeated the sentence once again, her brow furrowing in concentration.
"Where are you, bruh?" Sabrina responded, still puzzled by the request.
A mix of emotions swirled inside Raven as she realized the voice indeed belonged to Sabrina. But she needed one more confirmation to put her doubts to rest.
"What is my name?" Raven asked, trying to sound casual despite the tension in her voice.
Sabrina looked at her friend, now fully intrigued by the little experiment they were conducting.
"What is my name?" Sabrina replied, a hint of amusement in her tone.
"No, no, what is my name?" Raven pressed on, wanting to be absolutely sure.
"Ohh, Raven," Sabrina answered with a laugh to Raven's question.
"There is no doubt, it is her voice... Sabrina's voice," Raven murmured to herself, her mind trying to connect dots that were subtle.
As the day went on, Raven's mind kept returning to the mysterious voice she had heard and Sabrina's surprise visit to the field. The more she thought about it, the more her curiosity piqued. However, a part of her was hesitant to delve deeper into the matter, afraid of what she might discover.
