Chapter Four: Blushing
Rachel was walking to her next class; mechanics, the class that Mr. Bush taught. Gym had been easy and a breeze. She thought about Malchior and blushed slightly at the thought of him. She closed her eyes and sighed quietly. Malchior seemed to be the only person at school who understood her. He got her, like no one else did.
And even though Rachel was sure she had feelings for him, she still reimagined the look of horror on Gar's face when she and Malchior held hands.
His face looked sad.
He looked miserable.
Garfield looked unhappy because she was holding Malchior's hand.
Rachel shook the thought out of her mind, and she walked into her mechanics class. Her violet eyes scanned the class for a familiar. She saw Victor, who called her over.
Rachel walked over to him, discreetly listening to what the other teens were saying.
"Look at that freak"
"She doesn't belong"
"I guess the freaks stick together, hmm?"
Rachel growled quietly and she sat down next to Victor.
"Geez, what's gonna take for those retched kids to the freak up?" Rachel growled to him.
Victor gave her a sympathetic glance and shrugged.
"Alright class, pull out your books. I'm assigning a project," he said.
Rachel slammed her head on her desk.
"You are going to write an essay on the machinery of a robot, and your going to build one. When everyone turns theirs in, on Friday, we will have a ROBOT BATTLE!" Mr. Bush yelled.
The boys in the class cheered, while the girls stared blankly ahead, or they picked at their names.
"Or, maybe the boys should do the battle. I don't wanna mess up my nails. I'm getting a manicure on Friday," Terra complained.
Rachel rolled her eyes, and caught Terra's frustrated gaze.
"Oh, Raven, I'm sorry about mentioning such expensive things in front of you. I know that your family is really poor" Terra made a fake pouty face.
Rachel completely forgot about the other teens in the room by this point.
"W-how did you find out? Who told you?" Rachel snarled.
"No one. I have my ways of knowing stuff!" Terra smirked.
Rachel grinded her teeth together, trying to calm down. In her hometown she was known for her bad temper. It was rare for her to actually lose it completely, but Rachel feared that she was about to lose on Terra. She felt her blood boil as Terra raised an eyebrow at her a smirked. But, Rachel couldn't attack her. It's what Terra wanted her to do. Rachel merely calmed down, grabbed her things, and walked out the classroom.

"You did what?!" Karen screeched as she sat at the table with Vic, Kori, Richard, Gar, and Rachel.
"I said I almost beat the living hell out of Terra" Rachel stated calmly.
"You can't do that Rae! Especially since she's my girlfriend" Garfield warned.
Rachel glared at him and held his gaze for a few minutes before she broke it.
"Don't. .RAE." she growled quietly.
The others sat back and crammed food into their mouths so they didn't have anything to say.
Rachel closed her eyes and sighed.
'How did I end up hanging out with these numbskulls?' Rachel thought.
"Hey guys!" a familiar voice said.
Rachel started rubbing her temples.
Karen chuckled as Rachel leaned over as whispered, "Speak of the devil".
Terra sat down next to Gar and pecked him on the cheek. Rachel growled on the inside, but she tensed up. How was everybody so blind about this girl's true potential?
"Mr. Fix-it, er, Bush is making us built some stupid robot. Then were gonna have a robot battle. Can you say lame!" Terra groaned.
'Can you say "I'm an idiot bimbo who needs to shut the freak up, because I've brainwashed every idiot in this Azarforsaken school?"' Rachel thought.
Her friends were giving her stares, and Garfield had stood up.
Rachel's pupils shrunk.
"Did I say that out loud?" Rachel stuttered.
Kori nodded and Richard gave a curt nod.
"How could you say something like that Rachel? Have you not met Terra?! She is the sweetest girl you could ever meet! She doesn't brainwash people!" Garfield yelled.
The entire cafeteria started looking over at their table. For once, Rachel was speechless. Her mouth had gone dry and she felt nervous and embarrassed.
She got up and ran out the cafeteria so fast, it seemed like the wind was blowing from her.
Terra frowned and growled.
"Oh, we'll see who's the bimbo over here, Roth. You're going to regret what you just said b-" Terra turned around to see her friends staring at her.
"Uh, I mean, why would she say such a thing?!" Terra faked crying.
She got up and left the room.
Kori let go of Richard's shirt in shock.
"I believe that everyone has noticed the fighting between Friend Terra and Friend Rachel" the beautiful red head said.
"I just can't believe that Rachel said that. But, then again, she doesn't really like Terra" Richard pointed out.
"And, correct me if I'm wrong, I think that Terra kinda hates Rachel as well" Victor added quietly.
Karen nodded.
"They nearly killed each other in P.E." Karen said.
"Oh, I hope our Friends stop fighting!" Kori moaned.
Garfield was staring after Terra, even though she was long gone.
"Me too Kori. Me, too".
