Desolate

Hey, Starfire here writing my new fan fiction. I hope ya'll enjoy.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own teen titans.

Kori's POV

I sighed heavily as I walked down the spiralling stairs of my house. It was the first day of a new semester at Jump High, and to be honest I wasn't looking forward to it. I knew by now that I was never going to be one of the populars, or find a decent boyfriend. I knew that I would only just get by my classes, like I did every semester. I flicked my auburn hair behind my shoulder as I walked into the kitchen and towards the large fridge.

"Morning Princess," my father said as he looked up from reading some paperwork. I smiled.

My father was really amazing. He always supported me and my sister, although he wasn't really my father. He was just my caregiver, as my parents died when I was very young.

"Please," I insisted as I opened the fridge, "Don't call me princess. Where're not on Tamaran anymore. I'm Kori now," I reached out and grabbed a fruit salad and sat down at the table.

When I was five, my parents died in an epic battle. The ruler of the planet that killed them said he wanted all of the royal family killed. We had no other choice than to flee to another planet. I still can't believe that it's been 10 long years.

"Well then Kori," he asked while placing the paperwork on the desk. "Where's your sister?"

I shrugged a reply and started to eat my salad, picking out the cherries as I did. As if right on queue, my sister walked through the doors.

"Goood morning!" she said loudly, attracting attention to her.

"Morning Kamie," said our father as he got up and walked out of the room.

"Hey," I said while looking up. Kamie looked nothing like me. Her hair is jet black, and her eyes are not round like mine. They're more like sideways semi-circles. There're black, as well. Whereas my eyes are like round, emerald ovals.

She was wearing her new black mini skirt that she bought a few days ago, along with a tight pink strapless top. She also wore a pair of black killer heels. Seriously, I don't know how she could walk around all day in those heels.

Another thing that noticed was the amount of make-up she was wearing. Tons of lip gloss, piles of black eyeliner and mascara, heaps of pink sparkly eye shadow…..and the list goes on. Kamie's perfect in every single way. She gets good grades, she's gorgeous, she's popular, she's had loads of boyfriends and everyone loves her. And she's so nice to everyone. Except for me. Kamie really hates me. I have no idea why.

"Kori," Kamie interrupted my thoughts "I hope you're not going to school like that," she taunted before giving a short laugh. I looked down. I was still in my Disney pyjamas.

"Of course I'm not," I said while standing up and placing the empty bowl on the granite side top. "I'm going to get changed,"

Kamie walked over to the fridge and took out a low fat yoghurt. I glared at her before walking out of the kitchen. Quickly, I made my way back up the stairs and into my bedroom. My bedroom was large, with a beautiful balcony over our pool. The theme was purple and pink, and I had a large circular bed on the opposite side of the room. There was a vanity near the bed that had a hairbrush and a few beauty products there, along with a small box of makeup. I walked over to her wardrobe and sighed. I looked for a few moments before picking a pair of jeans and a blue long top. I grabbed a pair of black converses and quickly changed, before walking over to my vanity. On it was the only picture of my parents. They were smiling and were holding a 3 year old me in their arms. They were both very beautiful, and had red hair, just like mine. I picked up a black hairbrush and started brushing my beautiful hair. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair before opening the small make-up box. I took out black mascara and carefully applied it, making sure it wasn't too obvious. I then reached into my make-up box again and took out pink lip gloss. I quickly slicked some on before looking at the photo of my parents again. I have hardly any memories of them, which is the saddest thing. Kamie always says she's got loads of memories about them, and says how great our parents thought she was.

I stood up and walked over to the sliding doors, before quickly opening them and stepping on my balcony. I walked over and sat on a deckchair, gazing over the beautiful view. My favourite thing about being an alien is my superpowers. They're pretty easy for me to control, so I have no problem with that. Kamie and I aren't allowed to use our powers anywhere other than the training room. Shame really, as I love flying through the air. I also have super-strength, which comes in handy when I'm doing weight lifting at school. I can also shoot something called starbolts from my hands. All my powers are fuelled by emotions. No-one except our family knows about our powers, not even by best friends. Sometimes I really want to tell them, as it would make life a lot easier….

"Kori!" I heard Kamie shout from the bottom of the stairs. I then heard a loud honk from the bus. I grabbed my shoulder bag off the bed and ran down the stairs. Kamie was already walking over our lawn when I finally made it through the door. I shouted goodbye before shutting the door and walking across the lawn. I glanced behind my shoulder and looked at our house. It was a white villa styled house, quite large as well. Kamie often threw parties at our house, but if there something broken Kamie would tell our father that I did it.

I stepped onto the bus scanned the seats for my best friends. I spotted them and made my over. The girl was quietly reading a book.

"Mind if I sit here?" I asked. The girl looked up from her book.

"Hey Kori," she said, a smile appearing on her face.

"What's up Rachel?" I asked while sitting down on the hard seat. Rachel and I had been best friends since were five, the first day I came to school here on Earth. She was what most people called a 'Goth'. Her skin was pale; almost a grey colour and she had short purple hair that cut into a V-shape. She had violet eyes, which were dark and hardly showed any emotion. Today she was wearing a pair of black jeans with a purple and black top. She wore black pumps with it too. The only make-up she had on was a tiny bit of eyeliner.

"Nothing much..." she said in her same bleak, monotone voice. The bus moved and started heading towards our next stop. I looked towards the back of the bus where the 'populars' were. My sister was flirting with the most popular guy in school, Richard Grayson. He's gorgeous. He's rich. He's funny. He's an heir to a fortune. All the girls wanted to date him. At one stage, so did I…. until realised I had no chance.

The bus came to a halt as a few more students stepped onto the bus and I turned back to Rachel.

"This is Gar's stop... right?" I asked. Rachel nodded. Then, I saw Gar step onto the bus. "Gar!" I called out.

Gar looked round and smiled when he saw us. He walked over to us and sat on the seat behind. Gar has got forest green eyes and he dyed his green too He's one of those guys who eats tofu, and tries to save the rainforest. I would say Gar was my second best friend. I had been friends with him since I was eight. But my favourite thing about Gar is that he's the funniest person in the world.

"Did you have a good holiday in New York?" I asked, turning swiftly around.

Gar nodded. "It was amazing. The City is so awesome!"

We carried on talking about what we did during the school break, where we went, and who we met. 10 minutes later, the bus came to a halt outside Jump High. The three of us jumped off the bus and looked in front of us. Many students were already walking into the large school, but many others were just talking to their friends.

"I hope this semester is a better," I quietly said.

Rachel spoke up next.

"It will."

"We'll stick together. Promise."

And the three of us linked arms, and guided me to our first class of the semester.
