Confessions of a Teenage Ice Queen
It's My Life
Robin. When most people hear the word Robin they think of the Robin red breast. A song bird native to North America. But when I hear that word I think of the one boy that I desire but could never have.
For years now, well ever since he sprung me from that prep school. At first I thought it was just gratefulness to him for getting me out of that hell hole. But then many moths later, the feeling was still there. I asked starfire what she thought it was. Mistake. She told me that is was some weird dieses from her home planet and I was going to die in a few hours. I didn't of course. Then I was reading one of stars romance novels, she wanted to see how people on earth fell in love, and they had a Character, Liz, who had the same problem as me. Well this of course got me hooked. I read the whole book in a matter of hours. Only stopping to eat and use the bathroom. When I had finished the book I have to admit I was surprised to find out that this feeling I was having was called love.
"Well now I know what to call it but how do I stop it?" I asked myself. While I was thinking this over, the other titans, save for Robin, entered the room and turned on the TV.
A half-hour later we all heard a strange sound echoing through the walls of the tower. It sounded a lot like music. The other Titans must have heard it too because the got up to investigate. I followed.
The noise seemed to be coming from the hallway were robins and my rooms were. We took to elevator to the 5th floor. After Beast boy recovered from somehow getting elevator sickness.
"It's the whole up an down thing that gets me otherwise I'm fine"
I wanted to tell him that that was what the elevator was made for but first I wanted to find were this noise was coming from. We wandered down the hall, the music getting louder as we went, and ended up in front of Robin's room. A big yellow 'R' encircled in black stood on the door. We all looked at each other not sure of what we would find. Cyborg entered the code and the door opened, revealing the biggest shock of our teen lives so far. Robin on drums and singing.
This
ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No
silent prayer for the faith-departed
I
ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're
gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
We all stood there in amazement as Robin played and sang right along perfectly with the song.
Chorus:
It's
my life
It's
now or never
I
ain't gonna live forever
I
just want to live while I'm alive
(It's
my life)
My
heart is like an open highway
Like
Frankie said
I
did it my way
I
just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
Seeing as none of us even knew robin could play or sing this was a once in a lifetime thing. Robin never shared anything about himself with the team unless he had to. Even then it was mynute details. Just enough to get what he wanted then he went silent again. I stood there listening to the song. It sounded so sad. And I was the queen of sadness so I know sad when I hear it.
This
is for the ones who stood their ground
For
Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's
getting harder make no mistake
Luck
ain't even lucky
Got
to make your own breaks
Chorus:
It's
my life
And
it's now or never
I
ain't gonna live forever
I
just want to live while I'm alive
(It's
my life)
My
heart is like an open highway
Like
Frankie said
I
did it my way
I
just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause
it's my life
Then I noticed something. Robin hadn't missed a beat. He had this down pat. Like he had listened to it before.
Better
stand tall when they're calling you out Chorus: Chorus:
Don't bend, don't break,
baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's
now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to
live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open
highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to
live while I'm alive
It's my life
And it's
now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to
live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open
highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to
live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!
And with that he was finished. We couldn't' help but clap. He was really good. He turned around and stared at us with a startled expression which was immediately followed with one that said 'please let me sink into the floor and die'. Cyborg, Beast boy, Terra, and Starfire all went over to Robin and patted him on the back and told him how good he was. His head turned and looked over to me as if asking for help. I smiled and blushed a little from under my cloke so the rest couldn't see me." Dam emotions." On the far side of the wall a picture frame cracked. "God dam emotions." Then exploded. "Shit" I mumbled.
Robin stood up and asked the team to leave so he could get ready for bed. The team obliged. As I turned to leave Robin stopped me.
"Not you" he said.
He turned me around and looked me straight in the eyes. "If only he weren't wearing that mask!"
"Something wrong Raven?" he asked with a concerned tone. Not as a leader but as a friend.
"No nothing"
Then the awkward silence.
"So raven…" he began
"Yeah?"
"Would you…um…wouldyouliketogoonadatewithmetomrrownight?"
"What?"
"Um…would you like to…go on a…date…with me tomorrow night?"
Raven was caught off guard by his question. But quickly regained my composure.
"Um…yeah…sure that would be…nice?"
"Um… ok good…I'll see you at 5 in the entrance hall?"
"5 it is" I responded with a cold voice then mentally scolded myself for doing so.
"Ok good night" he said as he escorted me out his door. Then right before he shut the door he kissed me on the cheek. The startled me and before I could respond he was gone. I walked back to my room with a daze.
"What's going on?" I asked myself. "Could I really have fallen for the boy wonder?"
I opened my door and found a surprise waiting for me. With a big grin on her face.
