Chapter 3
Starfire's P.o.v.
I fully intended to have a long talk with Raven and Terra about the odd happenings during the day, but I wouldn't see Raven until tomorrow, and Terra just had to go home sick right before the period that I had with her, so I didn't have a chance to talk to either of them about the situation.
Fortunately, Raven's house was across the street and one house down from mine, so I just went over after school that day.
"So, that's really odd." She told me after my explanation. "He just left? He didn't even try to introduce himself?"
"Nope. Do you know anyone that could fit his description? I don't think I've seen him before."
"I think I might. I would have to get a clear view of him to know for sure, but I think I may have seen him before. It can't be that hard to spot him, because we don't have too many black-haired and blue-eyed guys in our school. Ask Terra, because there aren't too many people she doesn't know one way or another."
"Well, I was already going to do that, because he looked kind of like he might be on the track team, and her latest guy is on it, so he might know who he is. I would like to thank him again for helping me when he didn't have to. I think it was really sweet of him."
"Star, it's impossible for you to have bad thoughts about people. You just get along with everyone anyway, and that makes people want to help you. Anyway, I know this is pretty off-topic, but have you heard about the masquerade Terra's throwing?"
"No, I haven't. When is it?"
"I think it's tomorrow, but you would have to talk to her to know for sure all the details. I haven't even gotten anything for it yet." She shrugged like she didn't really care.
"That's no surprise." I teased back. "You only get things last minute, like the day it's going to happen. I can't really get why you do it, though. It just gives you less time to prepare."
"Oh, be quiet. Besides, if you want to go, you'll have to get stuff last minute like me. Friday is tomorrow, in case you were too preoccupied to notice. Just because you need a three week in advance to prepare for everything doesn't mean that I do too. Are you ready to meditate? The stress could be making your energies go wonky."
"Ray, you are so paranoid! Just because your energy is constantly fighting you and trying get out when you show emotion if front of other people does not mean that mine works the same way yours does."
"You will meditate or I will tie you up in Tamaranian-proof chains and leave you in my closet until you do." Her eyes started to glow the tell-tale black that showed she was about to use her energies.
"Fine." I was more sulky than repentant and frightened, which I know irritated her during training session. Oh, well. It was good practice for her to keep her emotions in check. Or at least that was what I told myself. Mostly I just wanted to make her mad.
She left, and I obediently sat with my legs folded beneath me and my hands resting on them, left in right with the thumbs connected to help the flow of energy, telling myself to think of happy things. (Yes, it does sound cliché, but it works, and that is all that counts.)
When Raven came in to check on me about an hour later, I was floating about three feet off the ground and grinning to myself with my eyes closed.
"I know you liked the guy you saw today, but there isn't any reason to be so happy about it."
Her voice snapped me out of my trance, and I crashed to the floor as my concentration broke.
"Ow." I said from my position on the floor as she stood over me, holding a glass of something in her hand. "That hurt, you big meanie. You're so cruel to me."
"Don't be a wuss. I know you've taken worse beatings. Besides, I thought you might want some apple juice."
"Yay!" I cried, jumping up and snatching the glass from her and downing it in one swallow. I love apple juice. "More?" I asked, holding out the empty glass to her as I gave her my best puppy eyes.
"No. Your mother called, and I thought you might want to know."
"Oh, okay. I'm gone." I told her, heading out of her room towards the front door.
"Hey, Star?" Ray's call stopped me short.
"Ye-e-es?" I called back, drawing out the word to make it more obnoxious.
"We'll get something to wear for Terra's party after school tomorrow."
Robin's P.o.v.
I spent the entire period in the locker room, waiting for my heart rate to calm down. Just before the bell rang, my friends Victor and Garfield came in to change, talking about their respective crushes.
I would feel bad for Gar, with the girl he liked not even noticing him, but I was in the same boat and couldn't.
"Yo, Richard. How's it going?" Vic asked as he opened his locker, then he turned back to Gar and said, "So like I was saying, Terra's masquerade party tomorrow is probably your best chance to do anything. Ray and Star are both coming, so we'll all be there to root for you."
"I don't know, I mean, she doesn't even know I exist."
"Wait a minute." I interjected, "Who's throwing what party and who's going?"
"You mean you don't know? Mr. King-of-the-schedule?" Gar asked, looking at me with wide, unbelieving eyes.
"No. What's going on?"
"Terra's going to throw a masquerade tomorrow, and Ray and Star are going to be there. I can take you if you need a ride."
"No," I said, thinking of the ruckus my ride would bring if I took it to Terra's house. "No, I think I've got it covered."
"Okay, just make sure you have a costume and mask before you go."
Vic grabbed his stuff and slammed his locker shut, turning to Gar.
"You ready to go? Mr. Sykes will have a fit if we're late. Speaking of which, Rich, shouldn't you get to class too?"
"No, my next one is in here."
"I can't get how you stay as fit as you are and only take one gym class that isn't even that hard, and you not playing on any sports teams either."
"I just work out at home with my step-dad all the time."
"Hmm." Was all Vic said before he left, Gar behind him, and the heavy metal locker room door slammed after them.
Checking to make sure they were gone, I silently punched my hand in the air, giving out a mental shout of joy. Yes!
I couldn't believe my luck! My mind whirled with the possibilities, and I started a new plan just for the party. Afterwards… well, we would just have to see what happened.
My mind suddenly halted in its tracks. Aww, shoot. What was I going to tell Bruce? And better yet, what was I going to wear?
I didn't know yet, but what I did know was that I loved her, and if it meant dressing up with a mask was all I could do to see her, then I would do it whole heartedly.
O.O Robin had a girly moment! The horror! It was fun to write, though.
Really big chappie coming up next, so stay tuned!
Just so ya'll's know, if I don't get enough reviews, I will make you wait for the next chapter. So R&R! Pretty please with a cherry and whipped cream on top?
