A/N: New story! Woot.

Partners

Broken, mute, timid. Those were just a few words that came to his mind when he first saw her, when he really saw her. If it weren't for the librarian threatening to make him pay for his overdue books, he never would have had the chance. Who knew just a simple glance could do the damage it had done.

It was an early Monday morning; Beast Boy had just arrived at the hell hole they label as "school" on his dear scooter. Ready for another boring day, he wiped at the crust that collected on his eyes. Letting out a yawn, he headed straight to his locker. Staring lazily at the people who passed him, he turned his combination before popping it open. Papers with failing grades spilled out, hitting the ground like tiny men with parachutes. Frowning, he bent down to crunch them all up before shoving them back in the locker. Putting his bag in next, he grabbed his books. Noticing the comic books that were popping out with their wild colors, he remembered how that old hag was on him about returning them. Supposedly he wasn't the only one who wanted to read them and just had to return them. Grabbing them, he looked up at the clock to see he had just enough time to return them and get new ones. Smirking, he headed towards the library.

Grabbing the handle, he turned and pulled it open. The only thing that met up with him was pure silence. Walking inside, he noticed it was empty. "Hello?" He called before immediately being hushed. It was the old hag, glaring at him like she owned the place. Pulling a smile, he walked over to her. "Look what I remembered," He held up the books with a grin while the woman didn't look the slightest amused. "Right…" He dropped his smile as with the books in the return basket. Spinning on his heel, he headed towards the comic section. This was the best part about having a library; he didn't have to buy his comics.

Stopping in the aisle, it didn't take him long to notice the girl sitting with her back against the shelf, the shelf that held the series he was reading. His brow rose, why wasn't she reading at the table? Was she hiding? From what? His thoughts slowly disappeared when he noticed she was staring at him. He slowly pointed behind her, "I can't get a book." He replied, trying to figure out if he knew who this girl was. He swore he saw her before yet he couldn't match a name with her face.

She blinked and looked behind her, closing her book, she stood. "Sorry." Her voice was so soft, shaky slightly. He watched her head away from him, not speaking another word after that.

Staring towards the direction the strange girl vanished off to, he made his way over to the shelf. Kneeling down, he scanned the different volumes before pulling out the ones he needed. His brows were furrowed together when he went to check out. He was getting agitated, why couldn't remember? He knew about ninety nine percent of the girls in this school body, he would surly know who she was. Groaning, he muttered a thanks to the woman before heading to his first period. Enough thinking about this mysterious girl, instead, he needed to worry more about napping.

oOoOoOo

"And they gave me a free game, can you believe it dude?" Terra's blue eyes lit up as she explained her experience with a gaming store.

Beast Boy smirked, "You should have brought me with you, and they might have given me a free game too!" He laughed, grinning at the girl in front of him. When he noticed the teacher walk in, he groaned. "Looks like class is starting now, how bothersome..." He found himself smiling when she giggled at his groans.

The woman stared at them all until they all went silent. Madam Rouge cracked a smile, "Hello students." Walking over to her chair, she took a seat. "Today is a reading assignment, get with a partner and silently read with each other."

Beast Boy groaned, he hated reading things that had no pictures. He watched the people around him begin to move their desks; he just sat there with Terra still smiling. Seems she was going to be his partner once again, he was fine with that. Not like he had anyone else in this class that he'd work well with.

"I don't have a partner Madam Rouge."

He looked behind him before his eyes widened slightly, way back in the corner, there she sat. Her expression was blank, just like it had been in the library. He looked at Rouge who seemed like she was used to this problem. Without thinking, he raised his own hand. "I'll be her partner."
