I shoved my math textbook into my bag and slung it over my shoulder. It weighed like 8 pounds and I hated lugging it around but to tell the truth it wasn't too heavy. For someone normal maybe but I wasn't normal. Yes, I went to high school like a normal girl, had friends like a normal girl, and had a crush like a normal girl. Yup my whole life was that of a normal girl, but I wasn't a normal girl.
I walked down the hallway avoiding hitting anyone. I was very petite and nimble so it was no problem. The problem was the people around me. I knew them all but they didn't know themselves, not their real selves anyway.
I looked over at the downer girl in the corner. Long dark hair, sad blue eyes. Her name was Rachel Roth and typically she didn't talk to anyone but a select few people. I on the other hand knew her as Raven, the sorceress for the teen titans.
In her hands she held the leash to her dog. It was a weird green color and named Garfield. Yes it did look like a regular dog but at the same time I knew the truth. The dog's real identity was Beast Boy the green shape-shifting fellow who was also a part of the titans.
Across from them stood Richard Grayson, the most popular guy in school. He truly had it all now, and then. I used to know him as Robin the leader of the titans. Yea I guess people like him never change. He was exactly the same but it was obvious to me that something was missing, he just didn't know it.
I recalled the red headed alien girl who was always with him. She wasn't here. She never had been for the past month that I had been here.
I hurried down the stairs in the front of the school, walking past even more familiar faces. A short guy who was speaking in Spanish. He was a part of Mas y Menos I remembered that he used to have a twin, another person that I hadn't seen. A dark skinned girl wearing a blue and black jacket for the cheer squad. That was Bumblebee the leader of the Titans East.
I passed Aqua lad, Speedy, Argent the whole school was filled with honorary titans. That and villains. See-more and Billy numerous sat under a tree playing video games. I walked past them but they didn't look up, they didn't care. Not about me not about any of the heroes. Here we were all just students not arch enemies.
My house was a five minute walk away and like everyday along that walk I saw everyone that I'd ever fought with or against. Once home I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I splashed cold water on my face, exhausted from the day of acting and lying, I hated being alone, I hated watching them be friendly together, because that was all a lie.
I searched my face in the mirror. Big violet colored eyes, long wavy brown hair. Neither were my features but I could find slight resemblances to myself. My upturned nose, small chin, long eyelashes. But it just didn't seem like me without the cat like features and unnatural pink colored hair and eyes. As I was I hated myself, for being weak, for being normal, but mostly for remembering the truth. For knowing that my name isn't Violet Vega, for knowing that it is Jinx and I am the leader of the Hive Five.
