Disclaimer: Sorry, I don't own Teen Titans. Or anything I pretty much use in this fanfiction. (Like Mama Mia songs or Moulin Rouge songs…)–sweatdrop- Except the ipod. I own an ipod. But not the company.

Author's Note: Sorry, characters may be OOC…And this isn't really clear, but I guess this is sort-of AU-ish, because while this IS a high-school fanfiction, I guess the Titans have toned-down versions of their powers…EX – Jinx can will bad things to happen, Wally's super-fast for a human, Beast Boy can do really good imitations of animals, Aqualad can swim very well and fish…follow…his commands…I think you get it…

Hex: A Tale of Childhood Frienemies– Chapter Two

"Jezebel, please!" Wally pleaded all during lunch.

"No." She said curtly, and sighed as she noticed her three friends eyeing her and Wally oddly.

"Jez—"

"Shut up and grow up, Wally." Jinx growled.

"Grow up?! I'm not the one that just swore revenge because I happened to see—" Wally trailed off when her eyes glowed menacingly, threatening him silently if he completed that sentence. From that, he could tell not even her best friends knew about her love of unicorns.

"You're incorrigible!" Jinx yelled, grabbing her nachos and dumping them on his head. "Fuck off!"

She stomped off, leaving a nacho-covered Wally and her shocked friends. Except for Raven, who didn't really care.

Wally threw his black backpack on his couch, groaning and flopping onto said couch as he did so. "What did I ever do to make her mad at me? She's never been this mad…"

And indeed, his words were true.

She had never been this angry at him. Not when he made her eat worms when they were five, not when he kissed her in eighth grade and then abruptly left to pack his things (for Star City), not when he pushed her off the swing in third grade because she was on the damn thing for a half-hour and he wanted his turn, not when he accidentally pushed her into the cake at her ninth birthday party (which consisted of he, Raven, Robin, Karen, and Victor), and not even when he took her to that nice pizza place for lunch in sixth grade and left his wallet at home.

He did think it was a bit odd that he had known her for thirteen years, and her "bad luck" never affected him. He always thought it was because he pushed her to the limits of her sanity, but never over the edge. But now that he thought about it, maybe he was immune.

Yeah, that made sense; He was immune.

But then again, maybe the first theory was correct…

He slapped his forehead. "Okay, now I'm just messing with myself."

"So, what was the big nasty blow-up during lunch today?" Raven asked calmly, finishing the last of her homework.

"It was nothing." Jinx said curtly. Although she was close with the other two as well, she considered Raven to be her best friend. (And she knew for a fact that Karen and Kori enjoyed the other's company more than they did Jinx and Raven.)

"Okay." Raven said, stretching like a cat. "I'll be trying to cook again."

"Garth is coming over?" Jinx asked.

"Garth is coming over." She confirmed.

"Should I leave?" Jinx asked, and Raven shrugged.

"If you want."

"I think I'll leave." Jinx said, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "I just don't understand how someone like him can eat so much and stay so fit."

Raven gave a small smile. "Are you checking out my boyfriend?"

"What? Ew!" Jinx wrinkled her nose. "No offense, but Garth is not and will never be my type."

"We all know your type is Wally West." Raven murmured under her breath, smirking as she remember the day Wally had kissed Jinx in eighth grade.

"Rae, Rae!" Jinx yelled, throwing herself onto the couch dramatically.

"What is it, Jinx?" Raven asked, studying a medical book.

"Wally…" She trailed off.

"Yes?" Raven prompted, swearing to herself that if Wally hurt her cousin, she would kill and disembowel him.

"He kissed me."

Oh, was that it? "So?"

"And he's leaving for Star City tomorrow." Jinx finished.

"That jerk." Raven muttered.

"No, it's okay." Jinx sighed. "It's just…when he kissed me, I felt…happy. Special, you know?"

"No, I don't." Raven said, her thoughts drifting to the handsome Garth Fisher. "Special's good?"

"I just got mad that he kissed me when he knew he was leaving tomorrow that…" Jinx stopped, scared.

"Did you hex him?" Raven asked. Hex was their term for Jinx's ability to cause bad things to happen.

"No."

"Why not?"

"……….I don't know."

"Did you say something?" Jinx asked, truly confused.

Raven shook her head. "So where will you be eating tonight?"

"I think I'll just grab a bite with Victor and Karen." Jinx said.

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Won't that be awkward? The ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend having dinner with the boyfriend?"

"No." Jinx shrugged. "Victor and I are over each other, and Karen knows it. We don't call it a date when it's the three of us; We call it dinner."

Raven shrugged. "Whatever."

Jinx slammed her book shut, and stood up. "I'm going, okay Raven?"

"Sure, sure."

---

"Honey, why are you just pickin' at your food like that?" Karen asked Jinx, who shrugged.

"Not that hungry, I guess." Jinx muttered, and Victor's expression was one of concern.

"You all right?" He asked, and Karen nodded as if to agree with his words.

"I'm fine." Jinx assured them both, and Karen smirked.

"Then why did you dump nachos over Wally at lunch?" She asked, confident she had backed her friend into a corner.

"Hold up!" Victor said in disbelief. "You were the reason Wally got to go home and shower during gym?"

"I guess." Jinx shrugged.

"No fair!" Victor frowned. "The school showers are nasty. Next time, do me a favor and dump food on my head."

"I can do it right now." Karen threatened, "If you don't give Jinx a chance to answer."

"Okay, okay." Vicotr held up his hands in surrender.

"So why?" Karen asked.

"Felt like it." Jinx answered, still jabbing her fork around her mushroom ravioli.

"Girl, would you blame me if I said I don't believe you?" Karen said.

"No, not really." Jinx stood, placing some bills on the table. "I think I'll go home early. Here's my half of the check."

Jinx slammed the door when she came back to the apartment, not even caring that she was interrupting a nice dinner. "I'm back."

"Well if it isn't Miss Ray of Sunshine." Raven said dryly, pointing at her with a meatball-speared fork.

"Hello to you too." Jinx said sarcastically. "Where's Fishboy?"

"Couldn't make it today." Raven said. "He has a fever."

"Are you sure he didn't return to Atlantis?" Jinx asked, smirking as she crossed her arms.

"Are you sure yours isn't out at this very moment with Terra Strong?" Raven teased, and Jinx shrunk back.

"What the fuck do you mean by that?" Jinx hissed.

"Oh nothing." Raven said innocently. "But maybe the fact that Wally has a crush on Terra from English."

"So? Why the hell should that matter?" Jinx asked, ignoring the wrenching feeling inside her that told her it did matter. "I hate him."

Raven blanched. "You don't mean that."

"Just like you didn't mean everything you said about Wally and Strong?" Jinx asked.

A few minutes passed in silence. Raven was the first to speak.

"You know I was just joking, right?"

"I was just joking about Garth, but then you started to take everything so seriously." Jinx huffed. She smiled gently. "Still friends?"

"The best." Raven answered, smiling back. "You want any spaghetti? I cooked up a bunch, but Garth isn't here…"

"Sure." Jinx shrugged. "The mushroom ravioli at the restaurant wasn't that good anyways."

"Mama Mia, here I go again. My, my. How can I resist ya?" Jinx sang along with her iPod touch. "Mama Mia, does it show again? My, my. Just how much I missed ya."

"What are you doing?" Raven asked from the doorway, half-way torn between amusement and horror.

Jinx looked up from her book, took out an earpiece and said, "Reading. Duh."

"No, I mean th—" She gave up when Jinx turned back to her book, still singing with along with Mama Mia.

It was Sunday afternoon, and Jinx was rather happy. Of course, there was still the matter of Wally having seen the unicorns, but since her powers obviously had no effect on him, she wouldn't even bother. She would just let him think something horrible would happen to him and sit back, enjoying his paranoia. Did it really matter if Wally saw her unicorns? They had known each other for over a decade, if you counted the years he was in Star City.

He knew her favorite movie (Moulin Rouge), her favorite song (Elephant Love Medley), her favorite color (black), her favorite book (The Sherlock Holmes series), her favorite play (The Taming of the Shrew), her favorite author (Shakespeare).

She knew his favorite movie (Moulin Rouge), his favorite song (Elephant Love Medley), his favorite color (red), his favorite book (the Sherlock Holmes series), his favorite play (Wicked), his favorite author (He didn't have one).

They were pretty similar, and if memory served, he had once wanted to be a girl. In her opinion, that was much worse than her love of unicorns.

And ever since that odd fantasy of she and Wally, living together…married…to him of all people, she found him more attractive. (Not that she would tell anyone.)

…Funny, she could actually see herself married to him now. Perhaps even with children.

Would her son look like him or her? Would he be a combination of both? Would he have pink hair and blue eyes or red hair and pink eyes?

……For his sake, Jinx hoped that he would take after his father.

Oh—!

This was the last straw. She simply couldn't take it anymore. Wally invading her thoughts on a regular basis. He was the cause of her daydreams. He was the cause of the little pink-haired boy in her imagination. D'oh…she would show him that she didn't need him.

But how?

She didn't want a boyfriend, that thought in itself was ridiculous. So what?

What should she do?

-

This is a shorter chapter, I admit. Well, I hope Raven wasn't too OOC, but sometimes she can just lose control…

This chapter pretty much focused on Jinx. The next one will be focusing on Wally.

Um, my chapters are relatively short. I've been told that I have good ideas, and I COULD expand on them a bit more, but I just leave out the details that nobody really needs and get to the main plot of that particular chapter.

Which is the reason why all my chapters are usually under 3,000 words. (Occasionally, they're under 2,000.)

But then again, as a reviewer once said in a PM, "It's the quality, not quantity."
