Raven looked up. Her indigo eyes flashing in a mysterious enchanting way as she greeted Tara with a nod.

Tara was at her doorway waiting for an "okay" to come in; when she got it she walked in and smiled in that sweet way she had.

"Hey raven!" she said setting down next to her.

"Hey," raven tried to smile but only could muster up a pasty half grin. In reality, Raven would never smile at Tara. She loathed that perky smile and perfect eyes and hair she had not to mention, she was with Beastboy.

"I wanted to talk to you about something," Tara said becoming more serious.

"Shoot" Raven said closing her book after placing a bookmark on her page.

"Okay I'm only going to ask this nicely once but could you like not hit on my boyfriend!?" Tara snapped.

Raven withdrew a little; surly she was talking about Beastboy

"I'm not hitting on Beastboy, can't we just hang out without it being serious?"

she asked staring into her eyes hoping to psyche her out.

"No you can't. I've ignored it for a while now and its really making me pissed! Cut it out before someone gets hurt!" Tara grinned a little trying to flaunt what little power she had compared to Raven.

Raven was calm but inside, rage.

"Okay look, I'm not hitting on Beastboy and the only one who could get hurt from this would be you. Now you're excused from my room."

Tara looked furious

"I'll excuse myself when I want to!" she snapped." get this straight! I will have war with you if I have to for my man! Its not funny, its not cute, its just trouble for you!"

suddenly a rock flew through Ravens window, smashing the glass and a mirror on her wall. It floated up and withdrew to Tara's, who was now standing up in front of her, hand.

"It gets a lot worse from here! Now back off!"

Tara leaned in real close to ravens face. Grinned real big and closed her eyes halfway.

"Besides, Beastboy can't resist a goddess like me." Her grin turned to a large smile of perfect straight white teeth.

"And if you keep it up, you're mirror wont be the only thing broken heh heh"

she laughed and left the room.

Without thinking, Raven flicked off the door and then shoved her face in her pillow.

This is screwed up. I don't like him he likes me and he's the one who hangs out with me! She thought to herself. Standing up, she walked out to the kitchen and made some herbal tea. Some good peppermint will calm me down. She coaxed herself in her mind. Raven really couldn't help but feel so horribly weak. She was back to being a little child who would cry about being teased and picked on when she got home. Life was always bitter back then and it seemed to ditto now. She grabbed the teapot and poured herself a hefty serving of the calming liquid.

"Hey raven!," she heard Beastboy call.

"Wanna come with us to the mall, I'm going to kill Cyborg in 'house of the dead' at the arcade." He said without waiting for a reply to his first call.

"She doesn't want to come BB she's drinking some tea!" Tara said loudly and ushered everyone out the door.

Raven could still hear Starfire squealing joys of the mall in her alien way, and Raven silently sulking because this, for him, was way to laid back And then, silence.

Raven was in the house alone with nothing to do. She wouldn't admit that she really would love to come but now she seem threatened by Tara who was going to have a hawks eye on her constantly.

"Naw that's okay I'll stay here and die a little inside" Raven joked to herself silently after she knew everyone was gone.

So what do you think of the first chapter? Tara is a total bitch right? I'm still deciding of there going to have a showdown but ya know that seems a little not raven like. Oh well you never know.

You'res truly, poptart pill popper
