Hi! This is the first chapter of my first Titans fic! yay! This is a school fic and has nothing to do with superheroes. Sorry. I like these kinds of fics... :) For those of you who are reading my other fic, Karakura High, I'm not ditching it. I promised I wouldn't and I'm not. I've just not been able to work on it for a while, so I've forgotten some of my ideas and this one is fresh so I want to get this one started. ANYWAY! I probably won't be able to really work on this (or my other fic) until I get a break, just letting you know...

So before you read I'm using the characters actual identities so here's a guide to the names and characters, for this chapter:

Starfire - Kori Anders

Raven - Rachel Roth

Beast Boy - Garfield Logan

Cyborg - Victor "Vic" Stone

Terra - Terra Markov

Robin - Richard "Dick" Grayson

if i get names wrong i'm sorry, i'm using the names from the first source i find, and for future characters who's names I couldn't find I'll make up... sorry

Chapter 1

Okay, lets review quickly. When I meet someone I say "Hello, how are you? My name is Kori Anders. What is you-" No! Wait, "your"... or is it yours... ugh! I hate pronouns... Why did I pick English? German would probably have been easier... but it's still too close to home... Sigh... Where did I put my flash cards?

Kori Anders fished through her backpack for her flash cards and reviewed for the 20th time on her flight to the US. She had been switching between reviewing her english and studying the packet on her host family and school. She switched back to the packet and reread the paragraph written by the girl she would be staying with, her host sister, Rachel Roth.

"My name is Rachel. I'm a quiet person, I read a lot, and I enjoy time by myself. I have one friend, but he's the best friend I could ever have and that's what counts. My parents really think it would be good for all of us to be a host family."

I hope we can become friends! Then you'll have two good friends! And when I make more friends then you'll make more friends! Kori jumped up excitedly when the pilot announced their arrival. Please like me Rachel!

"Her plane has landed, she should be coming out of the gate any minute now."

"I know mom."

"Remember to be nice. She'll be staying with us all year."

"I know dad."

"Don't forget to smile dear."

"I know."

"And-"

"Guys! We've been over everything okay. I know!" Rachel turned away from her parents and sighed. They've been preparing everything for a full month now. She was really getting annoyed with the fact that there would be another person living in her house.

"Is that her?" Mrs. Roth asked, "check the picture they sent us."

Mr. Roth raised the sign with Kori's name plastered across, the girl timidly started walking toward them.

"Hello. Are you Roths?" she asked with a heavy accent.

"Yes! Hello Kori! Did I say that right? How was your flight?" Mrs. Roth asked, trying hard not to scare the girl by jumping and hugging her.

"Yes, you did. It was great!" Kori responded slowly due to translation issues she still had. I hope I get better at this... There's so much I'd like to say!

Kori noticed Rachel and got really excited. "Hello! You are Rachel! Are you not? I hope we become great friends!"

"Hi Kori." Rachel said with no emotion.

"Do you have all of your bags Kori?" Mr. Roth picked up Kori's duffle bag, "we'll take you home now."

Beeeeeeeeep. Beeeeeeeeep. Beep. Beep. Beeeeeeeeep. Beeeeeeeeep. CRASH! Garfield Logan smashed down the snooze button on his alarm clock and rolled of the bed. He laid there for a while waiting for the clock to go off again. Damn school. Today starts the rest of my horrible high school life. I wonder if it'll beat middle school... Beeeeeeeeep. With that he got up and got ready for school, he only gave himself 15 minutes to get ready and apparently it wasn't enough, he ended up running out to the bus just as it pulled up. He sat next to the only familiar face in the back of the bus, his best friend and only friend, Terra Markov.

"You made it!" She exclaimed, "this must be a good sign. You always miss the bus on the first day!"

"Heh heh, thanks, but probably not."

"Oh come on Garfield! High school is going to be different! I know it!"

Terra and Garfield have been friends since second grade and they never were able to fit in very well. Garfield had grown used to his situation, but Terra had been saying the same thing every year since fourth grade. He stopped believing her in middle school.

"Sure Ter."

"I mean it Garfield! We'll not only fit in, but we'll be popular and we'll have lots of friends!"

"Okay, but I'll always be your numero uno amigo!" Unless I became your numero uno boyfriend... Garfield blushed a little.

"Of course!" Terra grinned.

"Hey Luke! Think fast!"

Luke turned to see a football heading straight for his face. He closed his eyes tightly bracing himself for the impact.

"I got it!" Victor Stone reached out and caught the ball with one hand and threw the ball right back in the guys stomach. "Ben, I think you forgot Luke doesn't do football!"

Luke looked up at his friend and smiled. "How was your summer Vic?"

"It was okay. A lot of conditioning. We have our first game tonight. You going?"

"Sure. As long as I can get a ride home. I'm not sixteen yet..."

Vic laughed. "I'll give you a lift. No prob. You gotta see my baby! Worked all summer for her!"

"Awesome! Hey! Look, there's the freshmen group! Wanna give them a greeting?"

"You were a freshman last year. Remember? Be nice."

"But you're a senior! You've got a right!"

"Well, I'm not gonna use it. I'll see you after school." Vic walked off to his first class just as the first bell rang.

"Rachel! Wait! I do not know where the class is!" Kori called after Rachel as she shuffled off to class.

"Ask a teacher, you're new so you can be late. I can't!" She called behind her, "good luck!"

Kori watched Rachel hurry away and felt very lost. People were moving all around her. She didn't know who to ask for help, she kept walking around, in small circles, turning, looking for someone who might be helpful.

"Lost?" someone said behind her. Most of the students were already gone. She turned and saw the security guard who sat at the entrance to the building, in fact she was still at the entrance. "The main office is right there. They can help you."

"Oh. Thank you very much." Kori gave him a small nod and quickly walked to the main office. There were a few kids in there already. Two were sitting next to a door in the back of the room, the door had the words 'Principle's Office' on it. Both looked very angry. Another kid was talking to the lady at the front desk, she handed him a slip of paper and he started filling something out. Kori went to stand behind him to wait to talk to the lady at the desk.

"Yes?" She said sounding already annoyed with the day.

"Um. Hello. My host sister left me alone and I do not know where to find my class."

"You don't have a map? All the freshmen get a map."

"I am not a freshman."

The boy next to her looked up. He handed the lady the paper and turned to Kori.

"I can show you to your class if you'd like."

"Oh that would be most great!"

"Are you an exchange student?"

"Yes I am. My name is Kori Anders!"

"Richard. You can call me Dick."

"It is very nice to meet you Dick."

"Great," the lady at the desk sighed, "now that you two know each other, get to class!"

"Hey Ter! Over here!" Garfield called when he saw Terra enter the cafeteria. She smiled and walked over to him.

"There's no one at this table. Lets go sit over there." She pointed to a table that was starting to fill up in the middle of the cafeteria.

"Uh.. but we don't know any of them."

"Oh come on. We can't just wait to be invited to sit with people, that will take forever." She grabbed his arm, he grabbed his lunch and was pulled over to the other table.

"Hi. Can we sit with you guys?" Terra asked one of the boys sweetly.

"Sure. I'm Luke. Are you guys freshmen?"

"Yeah. I'm Terra, this is Garfield." She said as they sat down.

Luke laughed, "Garfield?!"

Garfield turned away from the two, trying to mentally prepare himself for the rest of their awkward lunch. Other people started sitting at the table. Terra had chosen well, this was the popular table. Girls with expensive purses and good looking guys sat down with them. Garfield stood out like a sore thumb, and everyone knew it.

"Uh... I think you're at the wrong table, this one is ours." one of the girls with too much eyeshadow said.

"He's cool Ellen. He's with her." Luke said pointing at Terra.

"Is he's your boyfriend?!" Ellen looked surprised, she had just been talking to Terra earlier about purses.

"Oh no! Gar is my best friend!" Terra quickly said.

"Gar?" the guy named Ben asked from the other side of the table.

"His name is Garfield!" Luke couldn't keep from laughing.

"Like that fat cat?" another guy asked, the whole table was focused on Garfield now.

Garfield turned bright red. How many damn times are they going to go over this?

"Hey guys what's up?" a big guy sat next to Garfield and every one turned to him. Shouts of "Hey Vic!" "VICTOR STONE!" What's up Vic?" "Ready for the game tonight Vic?" floated around the table. He was obviously very well liked in the group. He turned to Garfield and Terra.

"Hey. I'm Vic."

"Uh... hi."

"Hi! I'm Terra, this is Gar!" She made a point not to call him Garfield and embarrass him all over again.

"Nice to meet you Terra, Gar. That's short for Garfield right? Cool name!" He gave them a friendly smile and turned his attention to the guy who just sat next to him and chatted away.

Terra smiled at Garfield and gave him a friendly nudge then turned her attention back to Ellen and Luke. Garfield focused on his food, when he finished he watched everyone talk, he glanced at Terra every 5 seconds. He didn't relate to anyone in this group, he couldn't find a place to enter their conversations or think of anything cool to say to start a new one. He noticed Victor was making his way around the table, talking to everyone.

"So Gar, what classes are you taking this semester?" Garfield couldn't believe that Victor Stone was actually talking to him.

"Thank you very much for showing me where me classes are, Dick."

"'My classes' and no prob. Your classrooms have been pretty close to mine so it's been easy."

"But you do not have to do that and thank you again for correcting my english. I very much hate the pronouns."

Dick laughed, "want to sit with my friends and I? We're over there." He pointed to a table in the corner of the room.

"Thank you very much for the offer, but I should try to find my host sister."

"Alright, feel free to bring her over to sit with us."

"Yes, thank you."

Dick smiled at her and walked over to his friends. Kori looked around and found Rachel getting out of the lunch line.

"Rachel! Where will we do the eating of lunch? I've been invited to eat with Richard Grayson, but if you don't want to then I will sit with you."

"You know Dick?"

"Yes. Do you?"

"Yeah, he's my best friend. I was going to sit with him anyway."

"That is most wonderful! Let us go!" Kori grabbed Rachel's arm and ran over to Dick's table. "Hello Dick, this is my host sister!"

Dick turned around and smiled "Hey Rachie!"

Rachel's face twitched a little, but her expression didn't change. Did she blush a little? Oh! Does she like him!? That would be great! Kori thought.

Kori and Rachel sat down, Rachel next to Dick and Kori next to Rachel. There were a few other people at the table, but Rachel didn't pay any attention to them. Dick started introducing them to Kori. In front of her was Scott, Leah, and Nick.

Leah was directly in front of Rachel, she had her lunch pushed away and she was working on a sketch in front of her, the guys next to her were complaining to her about being antisocial and to put the drawing away. Scott finally pulled it away from under her, this created a long line across the sketch where Leah's pencil had just been. Leah made a face, looked up at him with an intense glare and punched him square in the face.

"Leah!" Dick said, "Be careful, we don't want you suspended again!"

"He deserved it." She said calmly taking the drawing back and continuing where she left off, without erasing the line.

Kori saw Rachel roll her eyes at Leah and wondered why. Then she wondered why she wrote that she only had one friend when there were three people here other than Dick. Did something happen between them?

"Hey Kori, what's your next class?" Dick said through a mouthful of food.

"I have..." she grabbed her schedule from her bag, "Calculus AB."

"What room?"

"510B."

"Oh, that's upstairs, I'm going to the other side of the school. Is anyone going near there?"

"I have the same class." Nick said, he smiled at Kori, "Maybe we can sit next to each other."

"Yes! That would be wonderful! I have a class with a person I know!"

"We have Physics together." Rachel said quietly.

"Yes, I had almost forgotten. I can not wait for Physics!" Kori turned her attention to Rachel for the rest of lunch since Rachel didn't talk to anyone else, except Dick. If Kori was going to help Rachel she had to get to know her first.

Garfield was planning on walking Terra back to her class after lunch, but that ass Luke had beaten him too it. He tried not to worry about it for the rest of the day and just focus on the school work and the comforting thought that no one at that table was on their bus on the way home. When Terra came running towards him at the end of the day his heart started pounding faster.

"Hey Gar! Wanna come to the football game with me?"

"Uh, sure. What about our traditional first day of school pizza and a a horror movie night."

"We're in high school now Gar. New school, new traditions!"

"Okay. My sister's going, we can probably go home with her."

"That's great! Then we won't look lame waiting for our parents! We better hurry to the Starbucks across the street, that's were Luke said everyone will meet up."

"We're going with Luke?" Garfield felt the green-eyed monster of jealousy awaken within him.

"Yeah! I think he likes me! Isn't that great?! If he asks me out he could be my first boyfriend!"

"Yeah... Ter that sounds great... I'm happy for you..."

I'm going to stop right here and make chapter 2 about the game, it'll probably be shorter, but i don't know i've just started.... i hope this came out okay, i'll probably come back and read it in a week and want to change everything.... i hope you liked it... if you actually sat and read this whole chapter congratulations!
