my name is Ivy Stone but people call me Raven because my indigo cloak clip had a raven on it but i was forced to keep the hood of it off but i was ok with it also i did talk to anyone so i was a social out cast but little did i know today was the last day of what i thought was normal. I was walking down the hallway to my favorite tree just in side the school grounds ignoring some glares or weird looks but one boy gave me a look of concern his name was Garfield Logan he was captain of the Football team and all his friends were jocks and every time Garfield would look at me with those concerned eyes his friends would say stuff like "forget her man" or "Garfield she is a social out cast she can't be with you what would couch think" i saw him nod and every time he did he would shed a single tear but i just ignored it and kept walking and when i got to my tree i sat down and put my hood on then pulled out a book then i heard a sound in the tree above me i looked up and looked around trying to find who made the noise but i saw nothing so i opened my book and started reading after a little while i heard someone fall to the ground in front of me i looked up from my book my hood covering my face it was Garfield he was standing in front of my so i blushed and put my book away then stood up then Garfield smiled and said "you shouldn't have that hood on what would the principle say if he found you here breaking probably a dozen school rules" i shrugged and Garfield spoke again "you don't talk much do you" i shook my head then he spoke again "well i wanted to see if you were ok i mean all the looks you get i bet it must be hard" i nodded then he walked towards and i blushed more then i saw him trying to take my hood off and before i knew it i had him on the ground with me on his back holding his arm behind his back i heard Garfield chuckle and say "your quick and strong for a girl ever consider joining the girls football team" i got off his back and shook my head while he stood back up brushing the dust off his clothes as he said "like do you not know how to talk or do you vocal cords not work" i walked over to my bag and pulled out a piece of paper and wrote "no i don't really know why i don't talk but i just don't" i showed him the piece of paper then he said "can you try to speak i want to hear your voice" i rolled my eyes and said in a rusty and croaky voice "are you happy now Garfield" he stepped back and said "i guess you haven't used your vocal cords in a while " i shook my head and said slightly more clearer "no i haven't used them in like 9 years" Garfield smiled and said "I'm glad your talking to me of all people" i raised an eye brow and said "how so" he rubbed the back of his neck as he said "i kinda hacked into the world security network and read everything about you" i giggle and said my voice almost completely back "so your a nerd as well as a jock" Garfield nodded and said "kinda i learned a lot from one of my child hood friend who now tests firewalls for a living" i nodded and said my voice completely back to what it should sound like "well don't get used to my voice because I'm going back to mute after you leave" Garfield stepped forward and reached out a hand towards my hood and this time i didn't stop he flicked my hood and it fell back off my head as he said smiling "your to pretty to have that hood on" i turned away from him as i blushed and said "don't you have practice?" he put a hand on my shoulder and said "i thought you were more important" i turned to look at him with my blush still on my cheek and saw that he was smiling at me which made me blush more i looked him in his dark green eyes and said "you should go to practice now" he looked at me concerned as he said "but if i leave I'll never hear your voice again" i blushed more as he pulled out the piece of paper that i wrote what i wanted to say on and started writing something on it as he said "i want you to promise me something" i looked at him confused and he continued "i want you to promise me that you will come to this address" i nodded and said "why" he smiled and said "its my place and i just want to talk to you to just hear you beautiful voice" i blushed more and nodded as he put the piece of paper into my hand then kissed me on the forehead and jogged off and i managed to read what his jersey said and it said one word "Beastboy" i smiled and whispered "Beastboy" to my self as i grabbed my book and put it back in my bag then put the piece of paper in my pocket and walked back to my class but before i even entered the main school area i was stopped by the cheerleader she had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes and i knew for a fact that her name was Terra then she said "why was Garfield talking to you" i shrugged and tried to walk past her but she stepped in front of me and said "never talk to him again do you understand me" i nodded and Terra moved so i could walk to class and i did just that and i was sitting out side my class room waiting for the bell to go then i heard a really girly scream that i knew was Terra's scream i rolled my eyes and thought "she probably saw a cockroach" then the Teacher for my next class finally got to the room and let the Class in and i sat in my usual spot which was right at the back of the class in the darkest corner of the room then i pulled out my book and started reading like i normally do and before i knew it the bell to go home went and i got up with out a second thought and put my book back in my bag and walked out and i walked to what was my home it was just abandoned warehouse i walked into the back are where i kept all my clothes and changed into a purple shirt with a black raven on it a pair of black leggings and a purple shirt with my indigo cloak i wrapped around my self and pull out the piece of paper that had Garfield's address on it and i walked straight there and when i got there i was Garfield sitting on the porch and when he saw me he got up and walked to me and said "i was beginning to think your weren't coming" i smiled and whispered "you made me promise didn't you Beastboy" i saw him when i called him by his jersey name then he said "ok only you can call me that" i looked up at him and whispered "thank you" he nodded and said "want to come inside" i smiled and nodded then he took my hand in his and we walked to his front door and he opened it then i heard his mother say "oh is your friend here" Garfield smiled and said "yeah ma she is" i could almost hear his mother smile as she said "is she staying for dinner" Garfield looked down at me an mouthed the words "do you want to stay for dinner" i nodded and mouthed the words "yes thank you" then i heard Garfield say "yes mum she is staying for dinner" then we walked up to his room which was cleaner then i expected but i couldn't help but notice a cloak that looked like mine but instead it had some kind of beast on it and it was blood red i looked over to Garfield and he said "i liked your cloak i thought i would get my own" i nodded then walked over to his bed and sat down on it letting my cloak make a trail behind me then Garfield said "Raven come on talk to me" i smiled at him and said "in my experiences a jock only invites a girl like me to their house is because their team mates thought it would be funny" Garfield smiled shaking his head as he said "nope not me i invited you here to get to know you better" i nodded and said "what do you want to know?" he shrugged and said "anything your willing to tell me" i kept my wrists close to my body away from his line of sight as i said "well i live in a warehouse" i looked at Garfield's dark green eyes and i saw tears already forming in his eye and he said "we have a spare room if you want me to ask my mum if you can stay" i nodded and said "if its not to much trouble" he nodded and he walked down stairs and i heard him say "hey mum can Raven stay with us" after a bit he came back up and he said "you can live with us" i smiled and said "could i stay in your room for tonight and tomorrow after school we can grab my stuff from the warehouse" Garfield nodded and said "sure Raven anything you need and i'll grab it for you like right now" i shrugged and said "just my uniform because i can always where this cloak to school tomorrow" he nodded and walked out as i laid down on his bed and wrapped my self in my cloak and fell asleep.
