Dear Diary,

I saw you sitting in the store and decided I'd buy you. A lot goes on in this tower and I feel that for further references all that is witnessed should be written down.

So my name is Raven. My father is Trigon. I was born to destroy the Earth, and being a super hero was my way of turning it around. I'm going to introduce my friends.

Robin: he's the leader. The 'Boy Wonder' he is occasionally addressed as.

Starfire: the red-headed alien, from a distant planet known as Tamaran.

Cyborg: the half man, half robot. Very good with machines.

And then there's Beast Boy. He's all green, and could turn into any animal, even alien ones (he did it once, kind of weird to watch).

So currently I am sitting at the table in the main living area. Cyborg and Beast Boy are playing video games, while Robin is preparing dinner. Starfire is sitting next to me, reading everything that I am writing down.

This is the conversation she and I had, until she finally left:

Starfire: Am I not aloud to see your journal of secrets?

Me: No.

Starfire: Is it a secret from everyone?

Me: Yes.

Starfire: Oh, so I should not be reading it then.

Me: That's right.

Starfire: I am sorry. I shall not disturb you no longer.

And then she left. Which sort of hit me in the gut, yes. But I need time alone, but today wasn't a sit in my room and write in here kind of day.

Beast Boy had just made the new high score on the racing game he and Cyborg always play. Why don't they ever just buy a new game? I've played it once; not as fun as they make it. I don't understand what could be so amusing of such childish racing. It's foolish.

What's this? I will write it all to you, very interesting things. Robin is so obvious.

Starfire: Robin, what are you preparing?

Robin: Steak.

Starfire: Steak? But Beast Boy does not eat steak! It is meat, and he does not eat meat.

Robin: I know, I got a veggie burger on the side right here for him.

[Starfire giggles]

Robin: Afterwards, did you maybe want to…catch a flick?

Starfire: Robin, if I may ask, what is the catching of a flick? Is it some sort of animal seizing?

[Robin laughs]

Robin: No, Star, it's when you see a movie.

Starfire: Oh, glorious! Shall we invite the others?

Robin: Maybe we should keep it at us two.

[I snicker]

Starfire: I would love to accompany you on seeing a movie. Thank you, friend Robin.

Starfire put on the geekiest smile as she exited the room. I still began to snicker from behind you, diary, until Robin noticed me laughing and began to walk over here with a weird look on his face.

What's so funny?

It's just so obvious to tell.

Tell what?

That you like Starfire.

WHAT?! I don't, I thought we've been down a road like this!!

Robin, it's completely obvious. I'm not blind y'know.

What made it so obvious…?

"Wanna see a flick?"

"Shall we invite the others?"

"Let's just keep it at us."

Okay, maybe that was kinda showy, but why were you eavesdropping?

You're talking about it here, in the main living area. Cyborg and Beast Boy could've heard for all you know.

But they didn't, right?

Not that I'm aware of.

Good. Then don't say a word.

Fine. Have fun at your movie.

Thanks.

Robin had then left to finish preparing the steak. If you were a little unsure, diary, I am the larger print and Robin's is more diagonal. I told him to write in the diary because if we had shared our discussion aloud Beast Boy or Cyborg could have heard. So now I'm positive about a secret of mine.

Robin has a crush on Starfire.

Yours,

Raven
