Probably just a short story to help clear my writers block cause I've been having trouble writing one of my other stories and this idea just won't leave my head so I had to write it…

Raven stared into her locker irritably, she had forgotten her sweater on her rush to get to school before she was late again and right now she was cold. She rubbed her arms and pulled out a book she planned on reading during study hall and placed it in her bag. Strong arms wrapped around her slim waist and pulled her closer to him. Richard kissed her neck then brought his mouth closer to her ear, "Bruce isn't going to be home tonight," he whispered quietly. She shut her locker and turned in his arms so she was facing him, "As tempting as that sounds… what about the tests we got to study for tomorrow?" she placed her hands on his chest. "We could still study, and I can give Alfred the night off." She smiled, "Well… let me call my mom and tell her I'm at a friend's house studying" he smiled and leaned down planting a kiss on her lips, "Roth, Grayson… what are you doing out here?" they both snapped their heads in the direction of the principals voice. They stared at the principal as he made his way to them, "Why aren't you two in class? The bell rang five minutes ago!" Raven looked around and noticed the hall was empty she sighed and grabbed her bag that was on the floor by her locker. "Sorry sir, lost track of time." Raven replied monotonously. She turned and made her way to her first period, which was on the other side of the school. Richard looked at the principal who shook his head and sighed, "Get to class Richard before I write you up." Richard nodded and made his way down the hall where his class was located; he looked around before opening the door and heading inside his class.

Lunch time came around and Raven was heading to Terra's locker as part of the usual routine the two came up with last year to save time from looking for each other during lunch. Just as she was about to turn the corner that led to the hallway where Terra's locker was located she heard voices she didn't recognize; she quickly stopped in her tracks leaning against the wall she tried to pick up on the conversation that was being said. She tensed up as she heard someone stand behind her but relaxed instantly as she recognized her cousin's voice, "Whatcha doing Rae?" Terra asked quietly as she tried to look over her shoulder into the hallway where the girls were. Raven shrugged, "Just heard some girls gossiping." She waved her hand in the air and rolled her eyes. Terra snickered and shook her head, "What do expect from freshmen?"
Raven shook her head and started walking in the direction of the cafeteria, "Yeah they think they are so cool but whatever lets go we still need to meet up with everyone else." Terra nodded and walked along side Raven keeping light conversation. Just as they were going to enter the Terra grabbed her arm and pulled her from the door her eyes filled with excitement, "I think BB is gonna ask me out soon!" Terra whispered happily. "Oh my god Terra that's awesome! But how do you know for sure?" Terra giggled and shrugged, "He keeps trying to ask me something but every time he does, someone always ends up interrupting him and he gets all shy and embarrassed! It's so cute!" Raven laughed and reached for the door handle swinging the door open and walking inside; Terra following inside.
They walked past all the other teens inside the cafeteria to where they usually sit with their other friends. When they got closer they already saw Karen, Victor, and Starfire already sitting at the table waiting. "Hey guys what's up?" Terra asked as she took a sit next to Starfire; Raven sat on the opposite side of Starfire and smiled at her other friends. Karen shrugged "Nothing much Terra just waiting for you guys and the others. Oh but Star here was just about to tell us some news she heard." Raven quirked her eyebrow and turned to face her.
"Oh friends I just found out that I'm going to be the cheer co-captain!" Starfire squealed loudly clasping her hands together happily. Raven smiled at her bubbly friend, "That's awesome star!" she said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster for her friend. It's not that she doesn't like Star or anything; it's just that she's not to fond of cheerleaders since they are such airheads and are super annoying especially one in particular.
"Yo, what's up dudes?" BB asked as he Roy (Speedy) and Garth (Aqualad) took their seats at the table. "Where's Richard?" Raven asked, her eyebrows rose in questioning. The three shrugged and shook their heads, "Have no idea, I thought he was with you to be honest." Roy said. "But wasn't he with you in class right now?" she narrowed her eyes at them. Roy raised his hands in surrender, "He was in class but when the bell rang he literally fled the room."
"And besides Rae… since when are you so… clingy?" BB asked with a raised eyebrow. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I'm not clingy… it's just I'm supposed to be going to his house after school and I wanted to know if he wanted to study just chemistry or the rest of the subjects, but if he's not here how am I supposed to ask him?" she replied angry. Beastboy tried to hide from her glare by ducking beneath the table, "I was kidding Rae gosh! You don't have to get all mad!" she huffed and crossed her arms of her chest.
"So… guys where's Jinx and Wally?" Terra asked trying to change the subject. Karen and Victor shrugged and the others looked around trying to see if they could spot them, "Friends look! Over there!" Starfire pointed and they followed her gaze at the two figures walking through the doors to their table. Jinx looked pretty annoyed while Wally seemed normal with a huge smile always plastered on his face. They took their spots next to BB and Terra. "So you're going to Richards's house today?" Garth asked and she nodded her head. "Hey what if all of us meet up to study at Richards house today?" BB asked from underneath the table. "Sure we can meet up at my house around five," Richards's voice sounded from behind Raven. She raised an eyebrow and turned to him their eyes met and he smiled taking a seat next to her and draping an arm around her shoulder casually.

After lunch their group dispersed and headed toward their own classes luckily for Raven she had a couple of her friends and her boyfriend for history. Walking next to Richard with their hands laced together she was listening as Aqualad and Bee told her about what happened in chemistry earlier that day.
"Well Kitten wasn't listening to the teacher when she said to tie her hair up for the lab because she was too busy trying to flirt Jason-"
"Wait why was she trying to flirt with Jason?" Raven cut in, "He is so annoying and cocky and thinks he's better than everyone else." Karen shrugged continuing with her story, "Well he is like one of the hottest guy in the class so Kitten and her usual self was probably just looking for another hook up and anyways she flipped her hair over her shoulder but of course she wasn't paying attention because the Bunsen burner was lit and her hair caught on fire!"
Both she and Richard stared at Karen with eyes wide and mouths hanging open, "Wow… what happened after that?" Richard asked. "Poor girl, she was crying but the teacher dragged her to that safety shower and she got soaked." Karen snickered.
The small group walked into class and took their spots in the back of the class next to each other, "What happened to Kitten after that?" Raven asked. "She had to go to the office and call for a change of clothes." Karen sighed as she took out some papers and started writing the notes on the board. Raven followed suit, "As much as I dislike her, I do feel kind of bad." She whispered.
Aqualad shook his head, "I don't, and the girl deserved it. She was acting like a whore and usually bad stuff happens to whores." Raven sighed and rolled her eyes, "Come on, maybe she wanted a boyfriend. I mean… every girl wants a boyfriend. Maybe some more than others…" Karen turned to her with a raised eyebrow, "Girl… since when do you defend Kitten?"
Raven sighed and shrugged ignoring the question. She looked through her bag and pulled out her homework that was due today and handed it to the teacher as he passed by. "I don't… but… it's just that it doesn't seem like you guys to stoop to her level by calling other people names."
"Rae, you do know that Kitten and her friends call you a whore. They spread rumors about you." She gasped and turned to Karen, "She says that about me? That little bitch!" Karen nodded. Raven shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest listening to the teacher droned on and on about the Gettysburg Address. She didn't feel like talking anymore so she turned away from her friends and tried to pay attention to the teacher. After what felt like an eternity to her the bell finally rang, signaling the end of that class.
She grabbed her bag off the floor and made her way out of the classroom with her friends. 'Only a few more periods' she thought to herself as Richard wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her closer to him. She smiled up at him and he leaned down to kiss her on the lips; she pulled away and murmured a quick goodbye as she walked into her next class

When the bell finally rung to dismiss them from their last class of the day, Raven was walking down the hall to go outside to the parking lot where Richard parked his car; she pulled out her phone and sent a quick text to Terra telling her she will meet her at Richards later. She didn't wait for a reply as she walked outside of the school and walked to where she knew Richard's car was. Opening the car door, she slid herself into the passenger's seat and smiled at her boyfriend. He smiled at her his eyes glinting mischievously in the afternoon sunlight. An excited shiver ran through her body as he pulled out of the parking lot into the busy streets of Gotham.

"What time are the others going to be here?" Raven asked as they stepped into the mansion. Richard shrugged grabbing her hand and leading her upstairs. "I already called and gave Alfred the night off, so that means we're going to have to order pizza or something." Raven smiled lightly as she spotted his bedroom door. Her heart pounded against her chest pretty fast and she started getting excited as they got closer. He led her in and she dropped her bag on his floor; she wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. He smirked lightly bringing his lips to hers. She felt him push her against the door and she let out an excited growl, his grip tightened on her waist as the kiss got more heated and deeper. She wrapped her legs around his waist grinding her hips against his enjoying the sound of him moaning against her lips. His fingers worked their way under her shirt, pulling it over her head and tossing it on the floor. She felt herself being carried to the bed and placed on it as he took his shirt off. She propped herself on her elbows and watched as he worked on pulling her jeans off and then his. He crawled on top of her and kissed her neck lightly.
Ding-Dong!
Richard pulled away and stared at his door debating on going downstairs and opening the door or ignore it and continue what he was doing. He choose the latter as he felt her tracing his jaw with her finger, "Ignore it Richard, I'm sure whoever it is will go away," she murmured quietly turning his face back to her while wrapping her legs once again around his waist. He smiled at her and brought his lips back to hers.
Ding-Dong! Bang! Bang! Bang! "Richard I know you're in there, I see your car out front!" Victor's voice booms throughout the house. Raven sighed and sat up, "I thought you told them to come around 5:30… its barely 4:20," she huffed quite annoyed.
Richard got off the bed and pulled his pants back on and tossed her jeans to her, and then he opened his door and made his way back down. She grabbed his shirt and quickly pulled it on and followed him out.
"Dude, Victor I told you to come…" he stopped as he saw his best friends face filled with worry. Raven looked over his shoulder and instantly felt something was wrong. "There was a shooting and Terra got shot…" Raven felt her blood run cold as soon as those words were out of his mouth.
