So I decided to write an AU Teen Titans fic. Just to at least say I gave it a shot. It's gonna be a multi-chapter so prepare for possibly long waits as I update it…or not idk, it depends on how I'm feeling. I actually wrote out the plot of this story beforehand so I know where I'm going with this. Hopefully it'll turn out well. As per usual Nix is in the story. Also I realize that I never state what grade they're in, so let's just assume they're seniors.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans but I do own my OC Nix.


"Raven, it's time to get up." I could just barely hear someone say. "Raven Rachel Roth, get up now, you've got to get ready for school." Oh so it was my mother Arella speaking.

"Just five more minutes mom." I mumbled and I snuggled closer to my pillow.

"In 'five more minutes' Gar will be here to walk to school with you and you'll both end up being late again." Arella said crossing her arms and glaring at me, at least I assume that's what she was doing, I was too busy trying to sleep. "Raven, please don't be so difficult." She sighed. "We're so much better off now than when your father was here, it'd be nice if you could just cooperate with me."

I reluctantly sat up; I always hated it when she pulled the father card. Though it is true, we are much better off now. "Alright mom, I'll get ready for school." I said as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

For just a second it looked as if she felt guilty for pulling the father card, but before she could say anything she just shook her head and said thank you, then left the room.

My father was really a horrible person, he'd been abusive towards my mother for a very long time, he was an alcoholic, I used to refer to him as evil incarnate, but despite everything he did my mother still loved him and she'd get mad if I called him that. Long story short, my mother finally got the courage to divorce him and we haven't seen him since.

"Raven, Gar's here!" I could hear my mother call upstairs.

"I'll be down in just a second!" I called. I quickly threw on a pair of black high waisted skinny jeans and a dark crop top with a raven on it. When I got downstairs sure enough there was Gar. Garfield Logan, known to most as Gar or Grass Stain due to the large amount of grass stains he would accumulate throughout the day, had been my best friend for as long as I could remember, and ever since about fifth or sixth grade we'd been walking to school together.

"Morning Rae!" He greeted cheerfully.

"It's Raven, Gar, two syllables." I said rolling my eyes as I grabbed a piece of toast off the table.

"You two better get going, otherwise you're going to be late again." Arella said pointing at the clock. Sure enough, if we didn't leave right now we'd be late again and this time we'd get more than just an after school detention.

"Bye Mrs. Roth!" Gar called out as we left the house.

"Gar you know she lets you call her Arella." I said as we got a little further down the street.

"Yeah I know, it just feels weird, it'd be like if my parents let everyone call them Mark and Marie." Gar shuddered at the thought. "It's just not natural."

I rolled my eyes and smirked giving my usual insult of, "You're such a dork." Gar laughed like he always does. There were five blocks between my house and the school, six for Gar, that's why it was always convenient for him to stop by my house on the way there. "So, how're things going with Terra?" I asked.

Tara Markov or Terra as she preferred to spell it had been dating Gar for a few months now; everything had been going fine until just recently. She didn't exactly trust my close friendship with Gar so they'd been arguing over it. It had gotten to the point where Gar and I would walk into the school through completely different doors so that she wouldn't flip out at him.

"Things aren't going so well, I mean she knows we still walk to school together, so she's still arguing with me about our friendship." Gar said looking downtrodden. He lazily kicked a random rock on the ground in front of him as we continued our walk.

"I'm sorry; if it helps we can stop walking to school together." I suggested. I really didn't want to stop walking to school with him, but Gar really liked Terra and I didn't want to ruin this relationship for him.

"No are you kidding? I already had to give up lunch with you and the others, I'm not giving up our before school time." He insisted.

I smiled to myself. Our before school time, that was a nice thought. You see the thing is, I'd secretly liked Gar for a few years now, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship by saying anything, so you can imagine how crushed I was when he started dating Terra. I'm glad he still makes time for me though. "Alright, alright if you say so." I said.

Suddenly Gar stopped in his tracks, I knew what that meant, we were at the school. "See you after school maybe?" I asked as I started to head towards another door.

"Of course, see ya later." He said, smile completely gone from his face as he headed in through the door we'd been in front of. I watched as he walked in and got tackled in a hug by Terra. She sure looked happy when he wasn't with me.

"Rae-Rae!" I heard the familiar call of my good friend Kori. I turned around and smiled brightly at the fiery redhead. Kori Anderson, she'd been one of my best friends ever since she moved here in the fourth grade. She had a strange accent when she had originally moved here, but she gradually lost it over time. Of course Kori was rarely alone, and today was not one of those rare occasions. She was with her boyfriend Dick. Richard Grayson, otherwise known as Dick was like a brother to me. I'd known him for as long as I'd known Gar.

"Hey Kori, hey Dick, how're you two?" I asked as I was crushed in a hug by Kori.

"I'm most glorious!" Kori said cheerfully.

"Eh, I could be better." Dick said shrugging his shoulders. "Where's Gar?"

"He's with Terra." I said nodding towards the blonde girl that was currently all over him.

"Oh…sorry I asked." Dick said pretending to gag.

"Hey ya'll, what's going on?" I turned around to see our friend Victor. Victor Stone was also like a brother to me, though originally he had been more Gar's friend than mine, our friendship was sealed when he saved me from some bullies in the fifth grade. Just behind him I could see a scowling brunette known as Nixie Halbach, or Nix. Her curly hair, which was usually held in a high ponytail, was frizzing out everywhere. Nix had moved to town in our sophomore year of high school, we weren't actually friends with her until after a mishap in gym class that she prefers we never speak of again.

"Why don't you tell them about our ride to school Vic?" She said sounding pissed off.

"Nixie? When did you get here?" Victor asked obviously confused.

She let out an exasperated sigh. "I've been here the whole time, you drove me to school, you were too in love with your car to notice oh gee I dunno the road in front of you."

Victor awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "Heh, sorry about that."

The morning bell rang signifying that we had ten minutes to get to our first class. Victor was headed off to autos, no shock there, Kori and Dick had first period history, and Nix and I had Mandarin Chinese together. It was the only language offered at the school that I didn't know so naturally I signed up for it.

"So, you and Gar still doing the whole entering through separate doors thing?" Nix asked as we headed upstairs to the language hallway.

"Yes, unfortunately we are." I sighed.

"You know there is a way to solve this problem." Nix said as we weaved our way through the confused freshmen, the cocky sophomores, the indifferent juniors and the over-confident seniors.

"What? Like stop being friends with Gar? Oh yeah cause that's definitely an option." I said. As selfish as it sounded I didn't want to stop being friends with Gar just so his relationship could work out, that wouldn't be fair…at least not to me.

"No, how about you tell him how you feel. I'm sure if you did that he'd be out of that relationship with Terra and in a relationship with you faster than you can say sassafras." Nix said as we took our seats in the back right corner of the class room.

Before I could come up with an intelligent response, I was distracted by some guy doing a wolf whistle. I turned around to see none other than my ex-boyfriend Malchior. "Lookin' good Raven." He said.

I rolled my eyes and flipped him off before turning back towards Nix. "I still don't get why he harasses you every day." Nix said glaring at him. Of course Nix wouldn't know though, she wasn't around for when I was actually dating him. That lying son of a whore pretended to be the perfect gentleman just so he could get one thing, and he got it, oh he got it. And now pretty much the entire school knew I wasn't a virgin because of him.

"We just dated once." I mumbled before turning my attention to the front of the classroom. Kori's mom taught our Chinese class because she knew so many languages, and I preferred to stay on her good side by paying attention to what she taught us.


Well that was chapter one, sorry it kinda cut off there I didn't really have any other plans for this chapter. I mean theoretically I could have put chapter two as part of this chapter but if I did that I'd make chapter three part of this, then four, and…you get the point. Please R&R.
