Never Will Be
I searched around for Bacon. He wasn't in my tree house when I left him. He can't survive without me. He's only a pig! I can't just be walking in some weird clothing in the middle of the night! I'm in my pajamas! Mom's going to be so mad if she finds out that I'm out here! Oh, why didn't I put him in his pen? Why didn't I watch him closely? He could've died!
I looked up from my bedroom curtains and saw the Teen Titans tower stretching away from my home. We live on a farm just on the border of Jump City and Greenville. I knew that one day; I would have a better life than a poor farmer's life.
Mom stormed into my bedroom.
"Why are your lights on?"
"Sorry Mom, I didn't mean to stay awake still!"
"You are supposed to be asleep Adelphia!"
"Mom, I can explain!"
"Oh first, you got an F in history, and now, this?"
"Mrs. Calera was a horrible teacher. She only came twice a school year. What kind of teacher does that?"
"Then why didn't you ask us to move?"
"Well, you always loved being on this farm, did you?"
"Yes I did, but I didn't want to stay in this old dump!"
"Where did you want to move to?"
"I've always wanted to move to LA as a child."
"It's awesome there, but do you like the Teen Titans?"
"Of course not, they are stupid little teenagers that aren't even believable."
"But they're awesome! They are way better than LA!"
"Nonsense, as I told you stupid. They just walk around in costumes to show that they are super heroes."
"I made my choice Mom. I want to live in Downtown Jump City."
"Oh that's amazing! I will research to find a place to live immediately! Now, GO TO SLEEP!"
"Okay!" I grumbled.
I really hated Mom. She forces me to do EVERYTHING! Blah! Blah! Blah! She just tells me, "No playing at all. You are so dumb that you are a stupid ass!" She's the stupid woman who just let Dad off, and doesn't care about her family. What kind of mom is that?
*NEVER WILL BE*
Two months later:
"Mom, it's my first day of high school!"
"Good gracious child! You ripped the dress I made for you! Here, let me hem it." Mom has been nicer over the years, but I think that now, she's a little too protective! Well, she hemmed my dress, but she made it a bit smaller. Now it's too tight! Oh well, Ben will understand.
Ben was my boyfriend since the end of 7th grade. He always spoils me on everything! Mom just won't let him in our house, because she thinks that he's a "stranger." Still, she's overprotective on boys. He just steals kisses everywhere we are!
"Hey babe, you look squished in that dress. Is it handmade?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, it's handmade. Mom made it for me."
"Oh, did Rihanna go to your house for the sleepover last night?"
"Yes, she did, but she threw up!"
"Is she okay?"
"No, she's in the hospital. She is really sick. I just hope my best friend would be in school today!"
"What about Georgia?"
"No, she's okay, but she hates me now just because I have this really beautiful dress!"
"Oh, is she still jealous?"
"Hey! That's offensive! You shouldn't ask that! You are going to make me jealous and your unhappy ex-girlfriend if you do that!"
"You are an idiot!"
"Oh Ben, did you get struck by the crazed monster this morning?"
"Yes, miss."
"You are really going to trick me into that?"
"Nope Adelphia Andrea Leah Salpinx, I will not trick you any longer. Actually, sike!"
"Oh no, that's horrible!"
"What's horrible?"
"I need to go to the bay, quickly! Can you take me on your motorcycle?"
"Yeah, sure! What happened?"
"Mom is in a fight! She is beaten up by someone! Who is it?"
"Okay, we're here."
"Mom! What happened?"
"Shush darling! They are criminals. They will kill you if you move."
"Mom, I see the Teen Titans!"
"You are under arrested Slade!" this boy called out. I'm pretty sure that he's Robin, their handsome leader! One day, I hope he would be with me. I know Ben might get angry, but Robin is like way dreamier than Ben!
But then, my whole world was knocked out.
I woke up, but I felt weird! I suddenly felt warmer, I looked at my back. Oh, I'm wearing a cloak. What? A cloak? Weird!
"Hi, we came here to make sure you're okay," said Robin.
"Oh, you are back! I missed you!" I cried, and hugged him.
"Yeah, sure Rae, we all missed you. Especially Star. She has been nibbling her fingers just to go to the mall, and spend quality girl time." Rae? What happened? Did he just call me Rae? He couldn't possibly! That's amazing! I could try to get him to like me if I was in this body! I am super happy! Finally!
"Raven! We must go to the mall quickly!" Starfire exclaimed. "I am joyous once you were awake!" No wonder why Raven was always yelling at Starfire. Starfire scared the heck out of me!
"Um…" I answered. But, she dragged me along.
"Good luck!" Cyborg called out.
"I'll be needing it!" I shouted back.
About five hours later:
I had cramps and back aches from shopping, but it was all worth it! Robin happily hugged me, but he kissed Starfire! I hate her! She is always in the way of our relationship!
"Robin, why don't you come with me," I said.
"Sure, do you need anything?"
"Yes, I need you."
"You need me for what? Oh, did you want me to clean Silky? The answer is no. Star needs you. Star! Raven will happily clean Silky for you!" Oh no! He doesn't get what I mean! Now I have to clean Silky!
"Thank you Raven! Silky was a good little bumgorf today, and he needs a bubble bath! He will obey you if you be nice to him!"
Now, I'm stuck cleaning Silky. He is super messy! It turned out that I used my powers to clean him thanks to my spell book. I am really grateful for having powers.
Beast Boy walked up to me and asked me if I knew what his favorite food was. I answered it by saying that his favorite food was a ham sandwich, but he made a big deal that he was a vegetarian and not a carnivore. His favorite food was tofu. Of course! He always eats tofu! He and Cyborg always fight about meat and nonmeat! I forgot about that.
Finally, it was morning. Starfire told me that she was going to the new pizza place downtown to buy a pepperoni and cheese pizza. I told her to take her time slowly. Then, I walked to Robin. "Hey Robin."
"Hey."
"I have a question."
"Shoot."
"I've been meaning to ask you this. Have you ever felt anything about me?"
"Yes, I feel you as a valued sister."
"Thanks, but I mean do you feel anything more than a sister?"
"Sometimes, yes." Those words meant a great deal to me.
"Then, do you want to go out with me?"
"Are you kidding me? Sure!"
"Oh, you are really handsome."
"Rae, you are really different today. But I like it." He kissed me softly on "my" lips. It felt like heaven. I just hope Starfire doesn't see us making out.
"What about Starfire?"
"Yes? We can secretly date each other."
"That's amazing. I hope we could do that, but that's hard."
"You know, if you could pull it off, you could try to do it."
"I love how you do that." I brought him in closely to kiss me. In the distance, about a mile away, I felt Starfire flying closely. "Robin, Starfire is arriving." I grabbed my book, and quickly ran to my room. Ah… I just hope we could do that again, but I'm a teenager that is boy challenged, so I'm just falling for boys everywhere.
"Friends! I have gone to the place that is new and I bought a pizza!" Starfire called. We all rushed quickly to grab a slice of pizza. I don't know why, but we have it for breakfast.
