Okay, so every time Karen, Kori, Jinx, Wally, Richard, and Vic meet without Gar and Raven knowing of is going to be secret meetings. Just a hint. ONTO THE STORY!!!!

_______________________________________

   "It was awful! She was so hurt. Nothing has done that to her, or, got that reaction really." The girls were discussing what was happening with Raven when the boys, minus Gar, came to them.

   "Hey, you said something bad was happening?" Richard got straight to the point. He was worried about his friends. Gar had become depressed and moody, and Raven looked worse than ever.

   "The words Raven used would have been reassuring, but the tone she used only made it worse." Jinx was hysterical. She was the only one who had seen the degree of Raven's pain. Her father beat her, then she cut herself to get rid of all the stress and emotional pain. It was horrifying actually seeing how deep the cuts were, and it amazed her Raven wasn't dead.

   "What do you mean?" Vic asked worriedly.

   "It was the same tone when she was cutting herself. It's eerily calm, but you can hear the hidden message, though you don't know what the message is. It sounds like she's telling you a riddle. Which is actually what she does. She speaks in riddles when she's like this a lot. It's weird, to put bluntly.," Karen said quickly and quietly. The boys were about to question her when Raven came over, shortly followed by Gar. They started at each other, both eerily calm. Gar spoke first.

   "Afternoon."

   "Afternoon." Their friends looked between the two of them cautiously.

   "I have a question Mr. Logan." They all, minus Gar, winced as she said this. They definitely weren't friends.

   "I possibly have an answer." Now they were really worried. They were acting pleasant, not friendly, but pleasant.

   "If the Ice Queen is thawed, and called the Ice Queen by another, who is the true Ice Queen?" The boys looked at the girls, now understanding the riddle thing.

   "Why, I believe it would create a paradox. The Ice Queen may have thawed, but not completely melted, while whoever called her the Ice Queen would be just as cold, turning into another. Therefore, the answer would be neither and both at the same time." (Please comment saying if that made sense or not. I'm not really sure at this point. I'm too insane!) Raven seemed to think over his answer.

   "I suppose you are correct. Both off then would be equally cold, while that would mean they were the same and therefore not Ice Queens after all. So, you are correct." (Tell me if that helped if you didn't get the answer. If not I'll explain better.) Now their friends were worried, shocked, and very scared at the exchange. Gar was the next to speak.

   "Miss Roth."

   "Yes?"

   "If someone bullies someone, them that someone goes home and cuts themself, who is the bigger bully?" Now they were paralyzed with fear. He just brought a very sensitive subject, yet it didn't seem to effect her more than if someone told her her own birthday.

   "You have created a paradox as well, Mr.Logan. Someone who bullies someone else has to stoop to a very low level, but to harm yourself is the greatest form of bullying, for you're doing it to yourself. I have to say better, for this is an unanswerable paradox."

   "I believe you are correct. You explained it well, so I have nothing left." They were still not acknowledging the others. The bell rang.

   "Same time tomorrow, Miss Roth?"

   "Very well Mr.Logan."  They posted ways and went to their classes.

   "What the h*** just happened!?" Vic yelled. Then, they took off all thinking the same thing.
