Seven kids stared at each other from across the room. None of them knew one another, which made this situation awkward.
It was the day after the exam-or whatever you wanna call it-and the other Teen Titans had left them there to get to know each other. They weren't allowed to leave the tower until they did.
"Well," the red eyed boy with sharp teeth said, after a few minutes. "Why don't we let the lady start?"
Everyone turned to one of the only girsl in the room-the blonde one. She was slouching back on the couch, and looking around almost as if she owned the place.
The blonde girl sighed, before sitting up and brushing her bangs out of her face. She didn't want to go first, but it seemed like she would have to.
"My name is Juliet." she told them, "I'm fifteen-years-old, and the reason I joined the Teen Titans is because I didn't have anywhere else to go." she shot them each a glare, "Any questions?"
A boy with black hair rolled his eyes. Juliet turned to glare at him, she'd seen him at the exams. He'd never once cracked a smile nor looked anxious. He just sat there with that half annoyed look on his face that he always seemed to have.
"Would you like to go next?" she asked, pointing over to him.
The boy sighed, before scooting forward, slightly in his seat, "My name is Len Rhodes, I'm sixteen." he glared back at her, "And that's all you need to know."
Juliet snorted, "And you roll your eyes at me?"
The boy glared at her, "I thought the girls were supposed to be going first."
Juliet smirked, "They are." then she turned to the girl with reddish-brown hair, and smiled sweetly, "What's your name?" she giggled,
The other girl blinked, "Um, my name is Serenity." she said, slowly as if she were afraid to give away any information about herself, "And I'm sixteen."
Juliet smiled, before shooting a glare back at Len, "See that?" she snickered, "She was actually nice."
Len rolled his eyes, before turning to the boy with sharp teeth. "And you?" he asked.
"Jay," he smiled, friendly, "Fifteen years old. And I can't believe how incredibly rude you're being to that young lady over there."
He moved over to Juliet, and pulled her up from the couch, grabbing bother hands in one of his, and wrapping his arm around her shoulders, "Being a gentleman is something every man should strive for!" he turned to face the blonde girl, "I'm so sorry for this man's indecent behavior." he shook his head down at her.
Juliet's eye twitched, and she had to resist the urge to smack him. Which, of course, didn't matter in the end, since her faithful companion did so for her, anyway.
"Whoa!" Jay cried, landing back on the couch, before glancing up at Juliet and her black haired follower "What was that for?"
The black haired boy glared down at him, "Don't ever touch Juliet." he growled.
Juliet chuckled, before pushing him down, "Sorry, guys. This is Raphael. He's a bit over protective of me."
Serenity blinked "E-Excuse me?"
"Oh," Juliet's mood suddenly shifted to happy chippery girl again, as she turned to face Serenity. "Well, I found him when we were little outside my house. He doesn't have any memory of what happened before then, so I'm all the family he knows."
Everyone nodded at that as if they understood.
"Well, then," a boy with brown hair smiled crookedly, "I guess it's my turn. My name is Zane, I'm fifteen, as well." he turned to smile over at Juliet, "Looks like we're the youngest in the group. I hope they don't start babying us."
"Well, don't forget about me." a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes raised a brow.
Zane turned to smile at him, "Of course. Who are you."
"My name is Cody, and I'm sixteen."
Zane raised an eyebrow at him, obviously confused, "So, I was right. We are the youngest."
Cody shrugged, "I just wanted to make sure I wasn't forgotten."
Len groaned before getting up and stuffing his hands in his pockets, "I'm stuck on the same team as a bunch of imature losers." he moaned, walking out.
Everyone turned and watched as he left.
"Um," Serenity turned back to the group, "He does know we still have to assign room mates... right?"

{Two weeks later}
Fabian rubbed his hands together as he walked out of the school building. It was nearing winter-which meant that he should probably start wearing a coat one of these days. But, ah well, he hadn't gotten frost bite, yet.
It had been two weeks since the old Titans had retired and the new ones had stepped in their place. No one knew what the new ones looked like-they hadn't had anything go down, yet. But, he assumed that they would find out before the year was out. Because I mean, let's face it, trouble just always seemed to follow those heroes around.
He rounded the corner, still rubbing his hands together, before stuffing them in his jean pockets. He glanced down at the slightly snow covered ground as he trudged along, his tennis shoes getting more and more wet as he did so. Good thing they were water proof-his socks probably would've been soaked, by now.
He was too busy staring at the ground to notice the girl coming towards him until they'd collided into each other and were both lieing on the ground. She had blonde hair that was braided down her neck, with a few curls hanging in her face. Her eyes were a light blue, that seemed to change slightly, as if to match with the snow that now covered her lashes.
"Sorry," he chuckled, as he helped pull her up.
"That's okay." the girl laughed, putting her baseball cap back on and reaching for the grocery bags she'd dropped. "It was my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going."
Fabian rolled his eyes, "Well, I wasn't either. Oh, here-" he bent down to help her pick up some of the boxes that had fallen out of one of the bags. "Let me help you with this."
The girl shook her head, "No, that's okay, but thank you."
"I insist." Fabian smiled at her, "It's my fault you dropped it all in the first place." he picked up a bright green iPod that was loudly playing a song that he didn't recognize.
"One day we're friends for ever~
Go take some singing lessons!
What was that?
Nothing twat!
You're a prick!
Eat my shit!
No thank you, it wouldn't be nice!"
And more lyrics like that.
"Oh, um," the girl snatched the iPod out of his hand, smiling sheepishly, "I have odd taste in music." she picked up the last box, and stuffed into the bag, before straightening up. "Hi," she smiled, holding out her hand, "My name is Juliet."
"Fabian."
"Julez!"
Juliet turned around and Fabian saw a guy with black hair running towards her. As he got closer, Fabian could see that he had red eyes and sharp teeth, huh. Weird...
"Oh!" Juliet waved, before running towards him. "Sorry!" she turned so she was running partially backwards so she was looking at Fabian. She waved to him, too. "Thanks for the help, Fabian!" she smiled beautifully at him, before turning back to the other boy.
Fabian smiled, and waved slighlty until they were out of sight. Then his eyes grew wide and he smacked his forehead with his hand.
"Oh, this is most inconvienent." he grumbled.
BeBe: I wasn't going to update til later, but I'm driving up to Minnesota to see my aunt. She has to have a lung transplant and there's only so much you can do to keep you busy for three hours. Anywayz, peace off!
