Chapter I - Kismet
It's been weeks since she started to go to Jump City's new library to read. It's not that reading at the Titan tower was a problem for her but the vast number of books she could read at the new library was too good for her to pass up. Normally going out in public was a big problem for them but since she was able to get Robin's and Cyborg's help with the holo rings she can now go out without a problem.
The ring helped her seem like a regular teenage girl with waist long black hair. This made it easier for her to blend in with the crowd but just to make sure she always wore glasses and colourful dresses so that her appearance would definitely be different with her true identity.
It works perfectly and no one has even once noticed anything. True that she felt a little awkward since she wasn't use to wearing colourful dresses but to be able to read all those books without worry it was a sacrifice she was willing to do.
And again like the previous days since she started to go to the library she was able to find a secluded place at the back of the library where she was able to stack up the books that she wanted to read for the day. She was just about to start on her second book when she heard someone laughing loudly just a couple of cubicle away from her.
"Some people." She told herself as she tried to get back on her reading.
The laughing was on and off. It took all the patience she had to not go there and beat the living crap out of whomever it was that was disturbing her reading.
"Damn, how can I read with all this racket?"
Raven stood up from her spot and approached the cubicle from where the laughing was coming from. She noticed that it was a cute blond guy wearing a green hooded jacket.
"Did I just think that this annoying asshole was cute?" Raven thought to herself.
As if finally noticing her presence the guy looked up and smiled at her.
"Hi, how can I help you?"
Raven was taken aback by that smile. There was something in it that was so familiar that it was drawing her to him.
"Uhm, I just... Can you please tone it down a little? I'm trying to read and you're laughing is distracting me." She tried to sound shy and timid so that she would look the part of her disguise.
"Oh, I'm really sorry." The guys apologized as he scratched his head.
"This is actually the first time I came to the library and I never knew that there are a lot of good read here." He confessed.
"I see, well please tone it down as others are trying to read." She said before turning to leave.
She hasn't gone more than two steps when the guy called her to a stop.
"Miss!" He called out. "I'm sorry to take more of your time and I don't really do this but I'm Garfield. Garfield Logan." He said as he gestured his hand towards her.
She looked at him for a while before shaking his hand. "I'm Rachel. Rachel Roth." Garfield gave her another of his toothed smile at her.
"Well it's nice to meet you Garfield but I need to get back on my reading now." She turned on and continued back to her cubicle. Unknown to her she was smiling the whole walk back.
"Wow, I never thought I could meet someone like her here." Garfield thought to himself. "Good thing I followed Raven's advice and did some reading."
He looked towards the direction of the cubicle Rachel went into and he whistle at the sight of the books that were piled there.
"She really reads all that? I guess she's like Raven who really loves books." Garfield said to himself.
He went back to his own cubicle and continued his reading when suddenly his communicator beeped. He started to panic causing the communicator to slip from his grip with his every attempt to turn it off.
"Ehem"
He looked up expecting to see the same black haired beauty from earlier but he was surprised to see a little girl in a Goth dress holding a book in front of him.
"Eh-heh-heh" He smiled at the little girl until she raised her big book to hit him.
A very loud bang was heard throughout the library after that.
"Angel what was that?" Raven asked that little Goth librarian.
"Noisy" She pointed at Garfield.
There at the floor she saw the cute blond lying there unconscious. She shook her head in disbelief.
"I told you to be quiet." She thought to herself.
Garfield was slowly recovering from the blow when he noticed that he was lying on down. His head was leaning on something soft. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw Rachel reading a book. He blinked once then twice. Is he dreaming or is he really resting his head on her lap?
"Could you get off now?" Raven asked.
Garfield was surprised and embarrassed that she caught him already awake and staring at her. Immediately he sat up straight. This caused him to get a little dizzy again as he hasn't completely recovered from the blow.
"Ugh. What happened?" He asked as he rubbed his head.
"Well you were too noisy again" Raven told him without looking away from what she was reading.
"Oh yeah I got a call so my phone suddenly rang and then this little girl in Goth dress came..." He started to recall what happened and he remembered that she hit him in the head with a large book.
"Well I guess now you'll remember to be quiet in the library." Raven teased him.
"Yes ma'am." He answered.
"Well it's getting late. I need to go home now. " Raven said as she stood up.
"huh? Wait will I ever see you again?" Garfield asked.
"Maybe maybe not" Raven said as she turned to leave.
Before she was completely out of his sight she called out to her.
"By the way thanks for the soft pillow." He shouted to her.
Raven just shook her head. Really, she only did it because she felt responsible for him. She told herself this but butterflies started to move in her stomach.
A soon as she was exiting the door she once again heard the familiar sound of a heavy book hitting a hard head.
"He never learns" She said to herself with a smile.
