Earlier this week we touched on the sister of one of our men in Da Capo, and as it turns out he has some secrets himself. Creating such a name for yourself in the arts has a reputation that follows, and he thought he could give his reputation a little boost in publicity. Well, your efforts paid off because now people will have a very clear picture of what your reputation really is.
Despite my attempts to prove otherwise, this Raven gentleman seems to think that sleeping around is 'cool' so he told people that he was doing so. Not once, but twice did he tell his peers that he had slept with not just one of our own Raven ladies, but one of our Raven alumni. That's right, what he wants us to believe is that he's good enough to get into any girl's pants. But unfortunately he has been exposed, from master of the arts to pitiful liar in just 24 hours. Rome wasn't built in a day; but it can be destroyed in a day.
Happy Friday Ravens.

High school drama doesn't get its own section in the year book. Why shouldn't it get its own section on the internet? Ladies and Gentlemen, here it is. Olathe Northwest's own gossip girl. Use me wisely.
Bad Romance
Now that all the weekend Homecoming gossip is out of the way, it's time to talk about the other two big events that went down this past week. Old Settlers; A fun loving carnival held right at the center of Olathe downtown. With all the rides, games and delicious food you're nearly guaranteed to have fun! But I'm here to talk about the few who didn't.
One of our many interracial couples at ONW is going through a rough patch - their whole relationship. The phrase "Ignorance is bliss." was said in the late 1700s by Thomas Grey, and as our Raven lady will soon learn, this phrase is very true indeed. It's been over a year and one would think that after so much time commitment is a sure thing, and apparently our Raven gent is only committed to getting around. Confirmed by some of my many sources, he was seen going after a few other girls than just his girlfriend at the old fair. And he managed to do so without detection, almost admirable. But that's not all, people say he's strayed more than just a few times over the months. I guess he should have been more careful, because the only person who didn't know, his girlfriend, is about to become very aware of how bad he's been behind closed doors. Now things are about to really heat up between the two. Watch closely Ravens, its showtime.
Aside from the Homecoming court, there's a social hierarchy that defies big school dances and the football field, and if you're part of that royal group then you were at or at least heard of the party that went down this weekend. 'Hot mess express' is what I would call the party bus a few of you Ravens were on and what ever you who didn't go think went down, you're probably right. Drinking, smoking, making-out, hooking up, fighting, crying, throwing up. They all happened and so much more. A few of the notable events was one of our Raven ladies making out with her Homecoming date. And a pair of brothers. And some other random guy. Another was a heart felt reuniting of an old couple. But that didn't exactly keep her gentleman from looking at other girls, and hitting on other girls, and kissing other girls. What a keeper. If there was ever a party gone wrong, this would be it. Oh the memories, you'll cherish them forever.
What an exciting few days it's been, and there's plenty more where that came from.
Yours truly, O.A.

September Fools
Today I continue to spread the word on our Homecoming Candidates, and some of them are in the midst of a dirty trick. This couple, I mean EX-couple, are being played by what seems to be the whole school. It takes a lot to be nominated and you Ravens decided to waste it on a little prank, another example of the poise and class that all ONW students possess. If anything I could say that this is out of taste, but I'll let you guys have your fun. I just hope you're still having fun when you watch the two leave the stage, opting out of the traditional dance. It seems everything is changing this year. I don't know if I like it or not but its definitely making things interesting.
To wrap it up, I'd like to have a moment for all the men, women and children who;s lives were cut short on this day 11 years ago. We as American citizens live in your honor.

Hello Ravens,
today begins week number five of this school year, and I bet you're all ready for those warm summer days and long summer nights, but you're just going to have to be a bit more patient. Just face it, there's plenty of school ahead of you and it's not ending any time soon. So you might as well take it as it comes. But there is one thing to look forward to now, and thus the countdown begins. Just thirteen days until the famed event of all high schools: Homecoming. With this event comes the tradition of crowning Homecoming King and Queen, and with some of you that are involved you can no doubt expect this one to be a blood bath.
"Shoot for the stars!" they say, and for this HC Queen candidate, a little motivation like this is exactly what she needed. If you haven't seen her around school, you might recognize her from a little deli down on 119th. But apparently, making sandwiches just isn't satisfying enough, so she set her sights a little higher. HC Queen is an honor that very few in the world posses and there's only a small sum of ways to achieve even the opportunity of gaining such a title. One of them is having the utmost qualities a girl can have, thus being nominated by your adoring comrades. Another is making it known that you're interested, having enough influence will make sure you're not a second thought. But the most devilishly juicy of all is bribery. And our Raven lady chose option C.
For most people the first thing a bribe makes you think of is money, but there are plenty of ways to insure someone's support, and though she may not have been able to get the ladies on her side she knew the gentlemen would be ripe for the picking. You may have seen it, you may have not, but floating around the digital world of ONW is a dirty little picture of our candidate, and because of which, she and her boyfriend are given the chance of a lifetime. Fortunately the rest of us have our own form of insurance in the way of extortion. Now many of your fellow classmates are in possession of something that could ruin you for the rest of your life. I hope you don't set your sights on becoming President, because that went out the window right along with your reputation. Congratulations, you go down in Raven history.
I have plenty more to dish up on HC scandals but this post is already too long for you non-morning people on a Monday, so I'll hold off for now. Until then, get your homework done, get your attire picked out and your plans for HC week set, because you're running out of time. Now, I give my one and only good-luck wish to the candidates and hope you come up with more stupid ways to try and insure your winnings, don't disappoint me.

It's Friday morning and thus marks the beginning of another weekend, and just like the last few I expect some extra exciting things to go down. But here I'd like to shed some light on a few of you Ravens who think you know our school best. And to remind you exactly who I am.
You try and you try but nothing extinguishes the lingering thought that someone will always do it better than you. I know you don't exactly know what I'm talking about so I'll just cut right to the chase. Every day another Twitter account pops up about stupid lies and grudge induced scandals all of it started by angry little girls and too much time to handle. But all of these end exactly the same. In failure. So, it's time to sit back and face the truth: Whether your rumors are true or not, none of you can do it like I can. Have something to dish up? Save your reputation and let me spill the beans. Whatever you see, whatever you hear, whatever you find, send it to me. Is there someone doing something that you absolutely do not agree with? Is someone screwing you over....or screwing your boyfriend? Tell me about it, and I'll take them down. It may seem like I'm out to get you Ravens but I want you to know that I've got your back.
Through thick and thin, Ravens are Ravens. And I am a Raven.

Accusations and Allegations
Good morning Ravens,
I should start off by apologizing. I know I've been MIA for a few days but all my problems have been fixed, so now I get to spill all of yours. After this past week of not being able to post I had lots of time to do some detective work, and I'm no Sherlock Homles but what I've uncovered is Sherlock material for sure.
'No.' It's a two letter word that means only one thing but can be interpreted in many different ways. And in most of those ways it's used as an answer to a question. Well, one of our Da Capo men's little sisters said she used it to tell her potential lover that it wasn't going to happen. However, she claims that it happened anyway. The blame game is played by little kids who don't want to be in trouble, and the adult term would be 'Accuse'. But for anyone who's played a game of Clue, you know that you shouldn't make an accusation without any proof, unfortunately it seems that our Raven lady has never played Clue, so she decided to make some accusations anyway. Let's take a look at the evidence, shall we?
Against:
Our Raven lady's lover denies the claim, saying that it didn't go beyond second base, and that she was willing to go so far. Various sources say that she spent the night in more than just a few different beds, so no one is surprised that she went after another. Also, her gent says she was under the influence so recollection of the events must be askew in her mind. All very reasonable proof.
For:
Nothing.
I hate to do the Judges job but it looks to me that our Raven gentleman is hereby proven innocent. Case closed.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel
Today marks the beginning of a new week at ONW, but even the worst Sunday morning hangover wouldn't be able to erase the vulgar memories of what happened this weekend.
As I mentioned before, "good thing's come to those who wait" has proven itself once again. This weekend occurred another 'infamous' get together of many Ravens- the typical jock crew and loose legged Sally's. Though, this weekend all hook-ups didn't go as "smoothly" as planned.
The football player managed to intoxicate his lucky, but willing, "victim" of the night- and he did a good job, might I add, but once the "excited" football player and his wasted tart hit the couch, well, you could say that our football player wasn't as "excited" as he was before he reached the panties. Actually, he was bombarded with quite the unwelcoming surprise.. a very, hairy, surprise. Their time on the couch didn't last long, and although our little Rapunzel was dazed and at a clear loss of judgement, she still had enough wits about her to realize that she and her scraggly locks had been rejected.
It just goes to show that sometimes the desperate, aren't all that desperate. Once our football player ditched the couch, he didn't bother not to kiss and tell. In fact, the entire party got the dirty (and hairy) details in a matter of minutes! I guess that's what happens when you spread your hairy secrets to the world, lady Raven.
I can assume that it's safe to say that you won't be smuggling away anymore of your sister's birth control for awhile.
Use this week wisely Ravens.

Reflection
At the end of the week we get a chance to look back and reflect. This week, it seems our Ravens decided to play it safe. But I'm sure there's plenty going on underneath the surface. Additionally it would seem that our actress won this battle, but the war isn't over yet. The mom didn't put up much of a fight, and after carrying a child for 9 months, I would think that she had a little more bite left in her. I guess we'll see. And our Brazilian boy who might be stuck in the closet doesn't seem to want to leave any time soon. But good things come to those who wait.
At the end of the week, all the lessons we learned start to settle in, and all you want to think about is having a fresh start on Monday morning. Unfortunately that doesn't happen. Our past follows us everywhere we go, and all you can do is ask for forgiveness, and I think you Ravens need a lot of it.
Enjoy your weekend Ravens.

Keeping up with ONW gossip isn't easy, so I try my best to have eyes open everywhere. Fortunately, a couple of them caught something juicy. It seems as if one of our Brazilian freshmen isn't as intimate with his girlfriend as they would like to make it seem. One of my many sources tells me that after seeing them together his lovely little girlfriend walked away, leaving him with one of his guy friends. Or...more than friends? I don't have hard proof but my suspicion has been aroused. Unless anyone has some information they'd be willing to relinquish, I guess I have some digging to do.
And it looks like I might strike gold.

War of the Roses
Good morning Ravens,
your first weekend of the year is over. How does it feel knowing that for the rest of the year you will have 48 measly hours a week to relax before you get the same rude awakening every Monday morning? I don't know about you, but I look forward to Mondays. And you're about to find out why.
First of all, the Mixer wasn't a complete bust, despite what I had thought. I'm not surprised but there will be plenty of time for you to get to know each other through out the year. Now you can all turn your focus towards Homecoming. I can't wait to see who's in the running for King and Queen. I'll probably have plenty to say about them.
Time to get to the juiciest part of this post. There's a battle going down in the halls of ONW. A blonde mother and a blonde actress are at it over a royal Mr. Raven, and this is war. What people like to debate the most is what causes major wars in history, but with this one, there's no clear start to the drama going down. I can still give tips on how this tragic dispute could have been avoided. For starters, our blonde actress could have restrained from cheating on her boo just before they spent prom night together away from prom. So you have nothing to say when Mr. Raven goes after a new leading lady, unfortunately that didn't stop you from talking. Even so, I can't help but agree with our blonde actress; Does Mr. Raven really want to become a stepfather? I guess that's up to him. And this blonde mother wasn't taking our blonde actress' words lightly, so she used social media to make all of her rage public. Bringing this whole fight out in the open. What a low blow. I guess all is fair in love and war.
Well Ravens, what do you think? Do you support our actress? Or our mother? Who will steal Mr. Raven's heart? Only time will tell.

Meet 'n Greet
Tonight's the night that our brand new Freshmen get to experience their first real high school event at our annual Welcome Back Mixer. I doubt that anyone as self-absorbed as our current upper-classmen will be attending but I do encourage a few of you to show up. In the past the success of this event has been minimal so why not try and begin the school year on a high note? None the less, I just hope I have something to talk about on Monday morning. Anyway, I won't be surprised to see all the skimpy little dresses the Freshmen think are enough to show the boys that they mean business. I can smell the pleather already. Pretty soon they'll learn that if that small piece of fabric they think is a dress doesn't give them a name at ONW, I will.
Enjoy the "party."
Yours truly, O.A.

Bottoms Up
Though there wasn't a shoot out or an appearance by the cops, there was another notable party that went on this summer. Some of our former Ravens made one of their last nights together a memorable one. This is the kind of situation that I believe the phrase 'You only live once' applies, but being a high school graduate doesn't make you any more legal. Now, there's physical hard evidence of your underaged drinking and illegal smoking that can only lead to a troubling situation. And anyone who reads this here gossip column knows that troubling situations are exactly what I live for. So if you want to know what sort of crazy times await you in the future Ravens, you can see just about all of it right here.

Infamous
Everyone gets excited to be on the news. Those 15 minutes of fame is a once in a lifetime chance so you should grab ahold of it when you can. But I don't know if that's what was going on in this former Raven lady's mind when her mug shot was plastered all across KC televisions on the 9 a'clock news. Hopefully this is the most disgusting thing I ever post about because I won't even DARE to say what she did. But you can always read about it here. I must warn you though, it's not a light read.
Do you feel safe as the summer ends and you return to your nest? With Ravens like these flying around, I wouldn't.

Tales of Virtue
When speaking of perfect couples, there's a certain Junior couple that always comes to mind but I've never had anything to say about them. Until now. This Raven lady's boo hasen't been too shy about how they're saving their first for marriage. That's right, something all of you Ravens have heard of and almost never practice. Abstinence. It's these kinds of couples that give me hope for the rest of the school. But unfortunately that hope was all for nothing because a little birdie just told me their dirty little secret. 'What brought on this sudden pledge?' I asked. Well, now I have my answer. Apparently, the two spent a long summer night together, just before they took this giant step in their relationship. And I'm sure you Ravens know that one night is all it takes. Well now you know that no one keeps secrets from me.
It's hard to make a vow that's already been broken, so give it up, because now you're not fooling anyone. I hope they give refunds on promise rings.
Yours truly, O.A.
Little Mistakes
I told you there would be more to talk about from this summer and I didn't lie. Juno is a story us Ravens know very well and as time has shown history always repeats its self. It's almost frightening how a little irresponsibility can land someone with so much responsibility. One of our Raven Ladies thought she could get away with one night of recklessness but apparently it didn't cross her mind that such a decision could have changed her life. This kind of thing isn't new to ONW but it definitely makes for quite a scandal. Don't get me wrong, I'm pro choice, but I'm sure there's a few Ravens with different views than me. So what's it gonna be Ms. Raven, mother or murderer?
Choose wisely.

Summer Nights
Welcome back Ravens,
tomorrow is the day you've all been waiting for. The day to kick off the 2012-2013 school year. You have new clothes, make new friends, and meet new teachers. But one thing that isn't new is me. I know I left on a sour note but I'm back Ravens, and I'm here to stay. We have a lot of catching up to do, but before I get to that let's start with welcoming the freshmen. I foresee a whole new chapter of ONW drama to spill. We already said good bye to our graduates, and now we're welcoming a new reigning class of seniors. With the history the class of 2013 has I wouldn't worry, they'll create plenty more gossip to spread this year. But first I'll be talking about some of the summer activities you all took part in because those are never school appropriate. So bear with me, I have a lot to say.
Just a couple minutes on Facebook is all it takes to get a pretty good idea of all the partying that went on this summer. So I'm sure you're all too aware of the crazy things that all that alcohol and drug use can lead to but if you're not you'll be interested in the events of this midsummer party that got pretty exciting pretty quickly. Machiavelli said "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that if they have a violent streak. The gun scare we had in April is nothing compared to the the party that went out with a real "bang" in June. No one was hurt but everyone was shaken up. This event clearly outshines the many drunken hookups and wasted fist fights but these still happened and they're still juicy gossip, I promise that you haven't heard the last of them.
Last year there were a few mentionable age differences in the dating students of ONW, namely the freshmen/senior relationships that have no doubt ended by now, but this summer one of them tops the charts. Every once in a while you hear about teachers meddling in student affairs and today that's exactly what you'll be hearing about. Over the summer he's not your teacher so why not, right? Wrong. One of your very own Raven ladies got a little too excited over one of our Papa Ravens. I can't go into too much detail but I think you all understand. I just hope she knows that eventually the seasons change and sneaking around is going to get a lot harder. Especially when you're not his only student in the classroom. Well, a new season begins today: School season. I hope the Honor Roll is worth it.
Finally, I would like to say a word of respect for an Olathe School District student who lost his life this summer. A Hawk from Olathe East, he was a part of our community and will be missed. I hope you Ravens can find it in your hearts to have a moment of silence in his honor. I know you're not all bad.
As you can probably tell, I was not bored at all this summer. And neither were any of you. Of course plenty happened that I could ramble on about but I'm not going to bore you with the same issues over and over. Cheating, lying, fighting; you know it all happened. Even so, I'll be very prepared to spread the news when you all dive head first into the depths of the ocean of drama that is Olathe Northwest high school. Ravens, it's been a long summer and an even longer school year is sitting in front of you. Take it how you will, but always remember that I'm watching you. Until next time Ravens.
Yours truly, O.A.
tomorrow is the day you've all been waiting for. The day to kick off the 2012-2013 school year. You have new clothes, make new friends, and meet new teachers. But one thing that isn't new is me. I know I left on a sour note but I'm back Ravens, and I'm here to stay. We have a lot of catching up to do, but before I get to that let's start with welcoming the freshmen. I foresee a whole new chapter of ONW drama to spill. We already said good bye to our graduates, and now we're welcoming a new reigning class of seniors. With the history the class of 2013 has I wouldn't worry, they'll create plenty more gossip to spread this year. But first I'll be talking about some of the summer activities you all took part in because those are never school appropriate. So bear with me, I have a lot to say.
Just a couple minutes on Facebook is all it takes to get a pretty good idea of all the partying that went on this summer. So I'm sure you're all too aware of the crazy things that all that alcohol and drug use can lead to but if you're not you'll be interested in the events of this midsummer party that got pretty exciting pretty quickly. Machiavelli said "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that if they have a violent streak. The gun scare we had in April is nothing compared to the the party that went out with a real "bang" in June. No one was hurt but everyone was shaken up. This event clearly outshines the many drunken hookups and wasted fist fights but these still happened and they're still juicy gossip, I promise that you haven't heard the last of them.
Last year there were a few mentionable age differences in the dating students of ONW, namely the freshmen/senior relationships that have no doubt ended by now, but this summer one of them tops the charts. Every once in a while you hear about teachers meddling in student affairs and today that's exactly what you'll be hearing about. Over the summer he's not your teacher so why not, right? Wrong. One of your very own Raven ladies got a little too excited over one of our Papa Ravens. I can't go into too much detail but I think you all understand. I just hope she knows that eventually the seasons change and sneaking around is going to get a lot harder. Especially when you're not his only student in the classroom.

No Strings Attatched
Good Morning Ravens,
it's Good Friday, and this Friday is very good indeed. Prom is inching closer and everyone is scrambling to find the perfect date. For some it seems they've found a date they're very familiar with. For others they've found dates to become familiar with and no one is wasting any time.
We were all surprised when our raven lady, whose bad break up was touched on last week, was asked by a raven gentleman who seemed to come out of nowhere. But I bet no one expected it would ensue a tryst of the dirty kind. Apparently this isn't the first time either. Some say they've had a thing for a while. Who knew they were sneaking around? Is someone ashamed of this relationship? I hope so.
In other news a few not so secretive friends with benefits sealed the deal by becoming prom dates. Could their F.W.B. relationship be more than meets the eye? Are they just in denial of their feelings? You can't deny your heart. Let's hope those hearts don't end up in pieces. But, if they do, I'll be here to pick them up. Then tell everyone all about it.
Have a fantastic weekend and a happy Easter. Until Monday Ravens.
Yours truly, O.A.

Well Ravens, a big sigh of relief is in order. You've made it another day. But don't get too comfortable. The gun threat is still in effect and I'm sure he's just waiting for the right opportunity. I hope no one is taking this too lightly.
Laugh all you want but as said in some dead old language "Memento Mori." - Remember you will die.

ATTENTION RAVENS. Dust off your Bullet-Proof vests or borrow one from your friends at North because rumor has it that today might be the day that ONW history is made. Our loving, caring principal made an announcement yesterday in attempt to set us all at ease but I suggest you take no chances. One of our very own students has been threatening to bring a gun to school. We've all read the papers about shootings and attacks at schools across the nation but never did it once cross your narrow minds that it would happen to us. Maybe it'll make a good story for your grand kids. At any rate you might be able to get away with "forgetting" to do your homework. Your teachers could have a much larger problem at hand. I don't mean to worry you, I just want you to be informed. You only live once, Ravens. I hope it's been worth it.

Anger Management
Well, Ravens, it was a long and boring weekend. Although some of you did get drunk for a birthday, I must say I'm still disappointed in you all. Don't worry quite just yet, I still have some juicy stuff to dish up so here we go. It's Monday night and if you listen to the announcements or have a lunch period then you've probably been informed of our event for the night, Mr. Raven. I'd like to give my sincerest wishes to the participants and I honestly hope the show is great - for the 50 people going. But as interesting as that is, there's another Mr. Raven I'd like to put in the spotlight and he just so happens to be on the wrestling team.
We all need an outlet in case we have too much anger build up in our weak bodies, and for some guys that outlet is beating up other guys. Or girls. Our Raven Gent was taking out his pent-up anger through wrestling but it looks like that wasn't enough because the Raven Lady he was courting had a few dark patches and we all know they weren't from falling down the stairs. So ladies if you're looking for a boyfriend then look right on past the wrestling team. It seems that they're all asking for trouble.

T.G.I.F.
Good morning Ravens,
it's the last day of the week, your favorite day, Friday. But this is my favorite day of the week for a different reason.
Seven days ago a group of our Ravens enjoyed a steak dinner, a few drinks, and some good laughs at our local Buffalo Wild Wings to keep in the loop with the sports world. A couple of these people must not have been too interested, so instead they found some more engaging entertainment in the backseat of a car. In the parking lot. Of a family restaurant. Can you say classy? And instead of keeping her private relations private, our Raven lady decided to boast about her adventures, and may I just say, congratulations on such an achievement! Us regular people should be in awe of your accomplishments. I bet this looks great on your resume. If you're trying to impress you're going to have to try a little harder, people aren't exactly whispering words of envy behind your back. I don't want to discourage you though, this makes for good gossip. And fortunately, she's not the only Raven lady I'll be disgracing today.
What makes Friday so great is the day that follows, Saturday. And last Saturday happened to be a holiday. Technically it's just a holiday in another country but as Americans we find any excuse to consume as much alcohol as possible. Or in this case, as little as possible. Eight shots in, your words start to slur, your legs start to wobble, and you become legally blind. Some of you 20 inch waist-ers out there must be familiar with the term light weight, but I'm sure it takes more than one drink to get you a little tipsy. This girl has redefined the term. A swig of vodka and she already seems to know these symptoms all too well. ONW may not have the best Drama department of all the high schools but this student is destined to be a star performer. Even so, wasted isn't the only thing she's good at faking. Under-aged drinking is one thing but breaking the law all together is an act that should be done with grace. One hit isn't all it takes to get this girl high as a kite, all she needs is to droop her eyes and flop her arms to fool every one around her. Take a bow, Ms. Raven, that was quite a show.
I hope these past couple of weeks have been just as exciting for you as they have been for me, I keep my expectations high for the weekend.
Until Monday Ravens.

Easy A
For the Northwest Ravens it makes sense to say the early bird gets the worm. Unfortunately it seems like here, only the sluts do. And according to my sources there's lots of them, plus plenty of willing worms to go around. There must be something in the water everyone is drinking that turns our innocent little chicks into the promiscuous women quite a few of you have become. As bad as it sounds it gets worse, because some of these ladies are proud of who they are. Or what they are. Why wait to grow up when you can do it all in one night. I guess this is what makes you all so mature. Maybe you could use this new found maturity to get a job or an A. Speaking of A's if you Raven Gentlemen are trying to find an easy one, just look around. I won't judge.

Raven Ladies Hitlist
Good morning Ravens,
Today I'd like you all to turn your heads to one of our Raven Gentlemen. This particular guy has been going about the school year with feelings of victory. As some of you may not be informed, I'd like you to know that you might have been one of his many conquests. He graciously shared with most of his friends a list of girls he would like to 'woo' before the year ended and it seems to me he has been very successful.
Though some of these women may have been taken advantage of, most of them are nothing short of disgraceful. Openly knowing you're nothing but a target and choosing to do nothing about it falls far short of valiant. Respect is saved for those who retain their values in the face of a sweet-talking devil. Hopefully you promiscuous people have learned your lesson and if not, then shame on you. And to our Raven Gentleman, don't give yourself too much credit, you suffer the most indignity.
Marty Meehan once said "You guys are pathetic. Pathetic."
And I couldn't have said it better myself.

The Various Shapes of Love (cont.)
This morning I informed you all of the intricate situation that entangles a few of our classmates. And it has been brought to my attention that there's a bigger issue involved. Our respected Raven lady needs to know that there's a test you should be taking, and it's not of the academic kind. If there's a scarier acronym than O.A. it has to be S.T.D. You have cheated with the wrong guy. I hope you used protection.

The Various Shapes of Love
Jack, Rose, Cal - Bella, Jacob, Edward - Gale, Katniss, Peeta - Love triangles are always in the spotlight in our 'enough-is-never-enough' world and every one loves a good, dirty affair. But is it as much fun to be in one? Just ask around, one of our Raven ladies (or perhaps a few of them) has been dabbling in the forbidden magic that is cheating. Maybe another drink isn't exactly what you need when the boyfriend is away and you're feeling lonely for the night. And to add insult to injury, how does it make you feel when a devilishly handsome man leaves his own woman to be with you? Do you leave your man? It's probably a bit late for that after having been caught between the sheets with a guy who doesn't own the name of 'BF.' I hope this handsome man knows that if she cheated on her current boyfriend, and longs for her ex-boyfriend, she probably won't be the best girlfriend to you. Watch out, or the alleged heart-breaker just might have you in her sights. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Almost Legal
It has been said that love knows no age. But everything's fun and games until jail is mentioned. As you know, turning 18 signifies the passage into adult-hood and everyone likes to work their way up. But when does dating up break the social boundaries that even the law is out to protect? We've all heard of Senior and Junior, Junior and Sophomore and the occasional Junior and Freshman. Does that mean that Seniors and Freshmen are crossing the line? Call it love if you want but in a couple of months you'll be turning 18 and that pretty little underclassman won't necessarily be an option anymore. Sneak around if you want, but i'm onto you.

Rise and Shine
Good morning Ravens,
it's Monday which marks the beginning of a new week. Your first week with me. I hope you can all find it in your hearts to welcome back our e-communication friends from Texas. It's been a long few weeks since they've walked the halls of ONW but I'm sure they'll adjust right away. Clap your hands for our STN winners as they lift their heads and walk tall with a pretty plaque on their back. Congratulations, friends. But of course I'm not here to talk people up because where's the fun in that?
They say don't mix business with pleasure but it doesn't seem like a certain someone, who happens to be returning today, took that to heart. After a bad break-up it's always nice to get away - until you have to come home. Some after school activity may just be throwing you both into a fun world of awkward moments and long silences. Perhaps you can use this opportunity to get closure. That is if you even show up. In other news, prepare yourselves for a week of Mr.Raven rehearsals. I have nothing but support for our participating Ravens, supposing the competition stays clean. But, why wouldn't it? There's nothing but respectable people on the roster.
I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that Prom is exactly 5 weeks away. Let's hope that ONW's many young lovers can stick it out until the end, but 5 weeks is an awful long time. In fact, it's exactly 840 hours which is plenty of time for some damsel in distress to be rescued by her prince charming - or for some match made in heaven to be stomped all over by the vicious hands of fate. Don't worry, I'll definitely be keeping you posted. Until then make sure you get all your dress shopping done. What an embarrassment to show up in the same dress you wore to homecoming, you can be sure that even if you're friends don't notice...I will.
Now I bring this to a close, so grab a cup of coffee and get those eyes wide open. As much as you all hate Mondays, I don't, and I'm looking forward to all the festivities that are yet to come.
Yours truly, O.A.

Home of the Ravens
Let's get started.
Olathe Northwest, home to rich kids, burn-outs, and the name of Raven, done justice by the many sports accomplishments and large activity budgets. The faculty and staff of ONW don't like to mess around. At least not as much as the students do. The dating scene is an important factor of the equation that is ONW drama.
Cheating, lying, and heart-breaking is something these Raven ladies specialize in and they aren't afraid to use these skills. With the end of the year approaching fast, I hope everyone is preparing for a long summer to think about the awful choices that were made throughout the year. If you don't want the name of slut to follow you as you grow and mature into the upperclassmen you're all destined to be then I suggest you make a few changes to your lifestyle. Sleeping with a large amount of guys doesn't exactly mean they like you for your personality. That kind of news gets around just as much as you have and it always comes back to bite you in the butt.
Stuffing your bra may be the way to get a guys attention but it doesn't exactly keep it. A girl can only flash so much cleavage before a guy finds someone more interesting to "talk" to. So before you turn to tissue, remember that 'big boobs' doesn't exactly mean 'meaningful relationship.' Speaking of meaningful relationships, I would like to applaud the people who always found a way to work their problems out. It's a sad day to see this end for good, especially when leaving for college is the reason. I'm not exactly promoting long-distance relationships, but these next 2 months won't be flying by too quickly. Needless to say you still go to school together.
Now, I'd love to go into more detail on the people I'm referring to in this post but before I do that I'd like you all to know that these are exactly the kinds of issues that drew me to this column. Keep it up Ravens. It's going to be a long couple of years before I'm leaving you. And I'm taking no prisoners.

A fellow student who just happens to be your one and only source into the scandalous lives of ONW's Ravens. Don't worry I'm not out to hurt feelings, I'm out to make amends.
