Chapter 6: It's Payback Time
"Robin!" Starfire shouted and backed away.
"Hey, man! Get your hands off my girl!" Eric yelled.
"Your girl? You think Starfire is your girl?" Robin asked angrily.
"Robin—" Starfire started.
"She is!" Eric said.
"How much you wanna bet!" Robin asked.
"I'll bet my entire savings!" Eric snapped.
"Let's have a question-off!" Element jumped in.
"Yes! That would help so very much to us all, Element. Thank you!" Starfire said and accepted.
"Okay…Eric, you can ask her one question and so can you, Robin", Element told them.
"Fine", the both said simultaneously.
"Eric?" Starfire asked.
"Starfire, aren't I your boyfriend?" he asked her.
"Yes…" Starfire replied.
"Okay, that's your question. Now…Robin?" Element asked.
"Star…will you marry me?" Robin asked.
At this question, both Eric and Element look at him like he's crazy, but Starfire holds her hands and smiles with hearts in her eyes. Cyborg came over and cocked an eyebrow and whispered to Beast Boy, "Man, he's nuts. I'm telling y'all!"
"Oh, Robin! You are so very romantic! I can not believe that you would ask so soon, but yes, Robin! Yes!" she replied happily.
"Uh…Star…sorry, but I was just trying to win you over…" Robin said and rubbed the back of his head because he was sweating like mad.
"Robin, until you have convinced me of your love for me, please do not talk to me or my boyfriend that way", she told him with her head at the ground.
"Okay!", Robin started fiercely, "Then if you can't go to the dance with me, I'll ask…I'll ask someone else! Element?"
"Sorry, Beast Boy already asked me", she said and blushed as Beast Boy turned a deep red behind her.
"Anyone want to go to the dance with me?" Robin asked hopefully
"Yes, Robbie poo!" Kitten shouted.
"No…" Robin muttered so that only Element could hear.
"Ask me, Robbie poo!" Kitten shouted with a fist.
"Ugh…yes, Kitten…Will you go to the dance with me? And—er—be my girlfriend?" he asked sadly.
"YES, ROBBIE POO! LET ME GO TELL EVERYONE!" she said and ran off with glee.
"So much for payback", Element whispered to the upset Robin.
"See you at the dance, loser", Eric said to him, grabbed Starfire's hand, and walked off to class.
"Dude…it's not your fault she fell for a creep", Beast Boy assured Robin.
"Alright, what is going on now?" Raven asked and rolled her eyes.
"Oh, shut up! Robin was turned down by Star", she said angrily.
"I thought you asked him out?" Raven asked her.
"WHAT!" Beast Boy yelled taken aback.
"Beast Boy! It was a plan…if I went out with Robin, Kitten couldn't get to him, but now she's more than getting to him, she's with him", Element told him.
"Hi, Titans", came a voice that sounded much like—
"Aqualad! Dude! Wassup?" Beast Boy shouted as they did a hang shake.
"I'm fine, Beast Boy, and you guys?" Aqualad asked.
"Not so good", Cyborg replied.
"Hello, Aqualad, is it? I'm Element. I'm assistant of Bruce Wayne here at Wayne High. I hope your stay is enjoyable so far?" Element asked politely.
"It's great, thank you", Aqualad said and winked at her. She laughed and Beast Boy was getting a little angry. He jumped in front of her and forced a smile.
"Well, we'll see you in class", Beast Boy said as he grabbed Element's hand and pulled her away.
"I don't know what classes I'm in yet", Aqualad called after him.
"Beast Boy!" Element yelled and took her hand out of his and then said, "What has gotten into you?"
"He's trying to take you away from me!" Beast Boy muttered angrily to her.
"If he is, I promise I won't let him!" Element shot back.
"You laughed when he winked at you!" Beast Boy said.
"I was trying to be polite!" Element said.
"Okay, sorry, so, how do we really get our schedules?" Beast Boy asked.
"I have them! Here is yours. I purposely put you in almost all of my classes", she said and winked at him.
Beast Boy smiled and walked after here.
"Alright! ALRIGHT! EVERYONE SETTLE DOWN! I'M HANDING OUT SCHEDULES! SHUT UP!" she screamed and everyone instantly went quiet.
"Now, when I call your name, please come up and take your paper. I will be doing one person at a time. Okay, Aarta?...Aqualad?..." Element said. She went on and on until everyone had received their schedules.
"Thank you! Have a nice day everyone!" Element shouted over the noise.
Element saw Robin slam his head against the wall as Starfire passed with Eric and his popular group.
