Super School-Chapter 6-Lunch Time
"Well, everything seems perfectly ok to me..." The head teacher said, until he saw all of the books where upside down and a smashed calculator was laying on the floor.
All of the pupils stared at him, wondering if they would be caught, until he winked at Robin and whispered a few words to Mr PennyWorth.
The Maths Teacher faintly smiled, and whispered "Now off to your next lesson" before fainting.
"Well that was an interesting first lesson" BumbleBee chuckled, and everyone else couldn't agree more.
After map skills, sorcery and battle tactics, it was lunch time for the teens and class GA could finally meet class GL, Green Lanterns form group.
Thunder rushed up to his brother Lightning, who like his brother had missed the other in lessons and the two talked for a long time in the lunch queue and then went to sit with each other on a table.
Robin saw a ginger boy with the same make of mask as him and he went over to chat with Cyborg and Beast Boy.
Terra had wandered away from the Changeling to to join Starfire, Bumblebee and Wonder Girl, who where all sat down non stop talking about boys, boys and boys.
"So Terra, you were hanging out with BB huh?" Asked Bumblebee, a grin forming on her face, "Do you like him?"
"Nah, not really, he's a cool friend though, but..." replied Terra, now all eyes on her.
"I think he likes me." She continued, Starfire surprised at what she said.
"Are you the sure, the new friend Terra? I thought Beast Boy liked Raven, look, here she is now! RAVEEEN! OVER HERE! YOUR GOOD FRIENDS ARE HERE!" Starfire shouted, running up to the red faced Raven who had gone to their form room to get her pack up.
The eager alien pulled her to the table, pestering her with questions about him, which the four other girls quickly caught up on.
As the girls asked more questions, Raven's emotions went wild, her head spinning with thoughts and feelings, thoughts and feelings she couldn't control. The lights fused, plates were smashed, pupils were scared.
Why was this happening? Why did she feel this way? She didn't like Beast Boy, she couldn't like him, she found him annoying and irritating and... or did she?
The questions where being repeated, invading her mind with punches and kicks. She couldn't handle it! And suddenly,
"Enough!" the empath screamed, food trays and textbooks that had whirled around the room creating a hurricane of colours dropped to the floor with loud bangs and clashes.
"I do NOT like Beast Boy, do NOT want to go out with him, I DON'T think he likes ME and I'm certainly not JEALOUS of TERRA!
And with that Raven stormed outside to read her book and meditate.
Everyone had seen what had happened since there weren't many pupils in the school, but most students just carried on with what they were doing - this was a super school, and many future heroes were bound not to fully control their powers yet.
Beast Boy and the rest of the team where shocked after this sudden outburst from Raven, for she may be sarcastic and sometimes mean she can usually control her emotions, making things like this rare.
They ran after her, until they were stopped by a red haired, tall girl in a black cape and yellow boots.
"Maybe leave her alone, you know. I think she needs some space." She smiled, instantly recognised by a certain member of the team.
"Babs!" Robin exclaimed, "I didn't know you would be coming here." He grinned, happy to know he would be going to super school with his childhood friend.
"Robin, I'm BAT Woman, don't you think that Batman, the HEAD, won't want me to come?"
"Oh, right, well, see you later then!" Robin replied, blushing a little as Bat Woman smiled and walked away to join Wonder Girl, her best friend.
"Robin, who was that girl?" Starfire immediately fired at him.
"Er, Starfire, you have just met a close family friend, Batwoman, or..."
"Yes, you call the girl Babs," the curious little alien replied, "And do you like this Babs?"
Robin was dumbstruck, what should he say about his best girl-friend to his other best girl-friend? He didn't want any more fighting, not after what had just happened.
And in this slight pause, one of the other members of the team sneaked into the conversation.
"So er, you two...you know" Cyborg slyly grinned before being slapped by Robin, just how his mentor taught him to.
Starfire went off to see Terra and Bumblebee again and the boys went to sit back down on their table with with Kid Flash and three more from the other class, Speedy, Aqualad and Captain Marvel Jr.
As the teens found out the canteen food was pretty terrible and they all envied Aqualad who had brought a pack up and was munching into a seaweed sandwich.
"I am not going to eat a meal that will probably consist of of my underwater friends thank you, so I'm playing it safe." Aqualad quoted, taking a bite out of his coral cake.
He was right, the meal of the day was a grey, slimy paste with burnt pastry that resembled a fish pie, which everyone had gagged at just seeing it.
"Too right!" agreed the other vegetarian Beast Boy, "I was really banking on some sort of salad, but I think all if the vegetables in it died a long time ago!" his face was now a pale green.
Cyborg said he was going to DEFINITELY bring a pack up tomorrow, which everyone thought was a great idea.
Raven managed to find a peaceful, lone spot in the furthest corner of the field behind the towering school. The long green grass was up to her knees and she walked through the rainbows of flowers, remembering how lovely it sometimes was outside.
For a September day it was warm, so warm Raven had to take off her cloak and tied it around her hips, the bottom trailing on the ground.
And for Raven not just teleporting to where she wanted to go was unusual, but she wanted to get some sunlight while it lasted.
Soon she came upon a large oak tree, it's shade welcoming and the sorceress sat down in its shadow and began to concentrate.
Her eyes closed, her body relaxed.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos, Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos..." She repeated, her mind slowly clearing the fog of emotions.
After half an hour of concentrated meditation, her body flopped and she lowered herself to the ground.
Raven thought about what had happened in the dinner hall, what went wrong, what went right, if anything went right.
She still need to let go of her emotions, so she got out the beautiful dark purple diary that had been a present from Azar, the head monk, and started to right in it once more, which you readers, will be allowed to see again.
Lunchtime,
Lunchtime has gone terribly wrong.I just wanted to sit down with the team or on my own and eat and meditate, instead I ended up embarrassing myself in front of the whole school. I walked into the dinner hall, and as I entered typical Starfire being typical started to shout at the top of her voice for me to come over. I know she gets so excited at these things and it's not really her fault but I was blushing beetroot red and wanted to just disappear into a portal, and then she dragged me over to her table of new 'best buds!' and they all started pestering me about Beast Boy. I know, Beast Boy! Yuk, but I started to question myself if I liked him then all my emotions kicked in...happy and passionate most of all. I just couldn't control them and soon objects where breaking and flying around the air, and I'm sure at least two more of my red demon eyes came out. I just shouted Enough and stormed out and now I'm here in the top corner of the field, meditating and trying to regain control, what a great start to my first day. I will write in you later,
Raven
The half-demon sighed, why couldn't just one thing on her life go right? Maybe if she had tried to make friends, maybe if she had answered the questions in calm and almost jokey manner, everything would have gone right, but no.
Raven was almost happy when the bells for registration where rung, it meant just learning, concentrating and no annoying distractions, ESPECIALLY Beast Boy.
