Gah! I forgot my math final review packet, so I'm writing another chapter. Be lucky that I'm forgetful :)
(T.T.)
"Raven, right?" Andy said, steadying the violet haired empath. She nodded and looked down at the ground, ashamed. Of course. Beast Boy would never like her in that way. It was just a stupid ploy to get her to go out with Andy. Sighing, she looked up and Andy. Well, she might as well try and talk to him.
"So you're new here, right?" Andy said, walking with Raven, down the dirt path. Sunlight gleamed on her head and her eyes turned and bright purple color.
"Yeah. I'm from Jump City." Raven replied, staring into the distance. Andy whistled.
"That's a long way from here. I guess the change is kinda weird isn't it?" Andy said, staring at Raven.
"More than you'll ever know." Raven replied truthfully. Her voice was dripping with disappointment and her eyes were sunken.
"So...tell me about yourself." Andy said, breaking an awkward silence.
"Well...my name's Raven...Roth. I was born in...uh...a small town called Azar. You've probably never heard of it; it's in a different country. Or dimension." Raven said the last part under her breath.
"Cool. Well, you already know, but I'm Tess' brother." he glanced at his watch before his eyes flickered to the sky.
"Well, I'm late for something, but maybe we can hang out some other time. How about I pick you up tonight at 7?" Andy said. Raven thought about it for a moment. Was it right? She was already slacking off on the mission as it is. But deep down, she knew that Beast Boy would be jealous. He would feel the same envy the she did, maybe even the same heartbreak. A smile spread on her face and she nodded.
"Sure. I'd like that. See you later Andy." Raven said, smiling.
(T.T.)
Raven was wearing a very loose baby blue shirt with a black bow on it that ended a little bit past her navel, a black and white polka dot skirt and combat boots. Her hair was in a loose bun and she wore a thin layer of lip gloss on her dry lips.
"What are you dressed up for?" Beast Boy said, strutting into the kitchen. Raven smirked at him, trying to contain herself.
"I'm going on a date. With Andy." Raven replied, turning away from him. Beast Boy's jaw dropped. A date? With Andy? He had only expected her to get to know him. To go to the ball with him! Not go out on a date!
"A what? With who?"
"I didn't stutter Beast Boy!" Raven sang, floating contently in the air. Beast Boy continued to stare at Raven, still shocked that she was going out on a date with Andy, nonetheless. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he wished he was the one she was going out on a date with.
There was a knock on the door and Raven immediately jolted up, smirking at Beast Boy.
"Must be Andy." she said, smiling cruelly. She knew it was killing him; eating up his insides. And she couldn't help but enjoy it. Raven turned the door knob, fully expecting to see Andy at the door.
Imagine her surprise when she saw both brother and sister, waiting at the door.
(T.T.)
"Oh...hi Tess." Raven said awkwardly, holding out her hand to shake. Tess stared at it, as if she was disgusted and quickly shook her hand.
"Hello...Raven. So Andy came up with a great idea; he said we should go out on a double date!" Tess squealed, sporting a smile that could beat the Cheshire's. Beast Boy suddenly appeared behind Raven, smirking at her.
"What a great idea Andy! It'll be fun, won't it Sugar Rae!" Beast Boy said gleefully, rubbing her head. Raven glared at him and pushed his hand off her head.
"I will send you to another dimension if you call me Sugar Rae again. And I'm not bluffing." Raven hissed, only loud enough for Beast Boy to hear. He gulped and recomposed himself, linking arms with Tess.
"Well? What are we waiting for?" Beast Boy said, yanking Raven from the doorway.
(T.T.)
The quartet arrived at the swanky restaurant after taking a quick stroll. Raven stared at Andy with discontent and Tess was squealing while clinging on to Beast Boy's arm. He uncomfortably laughed along with her and Raven smirked at him. Served the cocky son of a bitch right.
"How many tonight?" a brunette waitress said, smiling at them.
"Four!" Tess said, smiling at the waitress. The girl led them to a table near the back, right next to the window. She handed them each menus and Raven hid her face behind hers. She really did not want to be bothered with Tess, but she had no choice now. And she couldn't even escape.
"So Raven, I just wanted to tell you, that you're invited to my Ball! Sorry you didn't get your invitation earlier, just you know, I had these pre made before you came!" Tess said happily, handing Raven a square piece of paper.
"Er, thanks." Raven said quietly, stuffing the invitation into her bag. And to think she was actually looking forward to this date. Raven cast an annoyed look at Beast Boy. Andy tapped on her shoulder, aqua blue eyes boring into hers.
"Hey, how about we ditch these two?" Andy whispered, waving his hands at Tess and Beast Boy.
"Sounds like a plan." Raven replied, pushing out her chair. Andy cleared his throat before looking a Tess. A a quick second, Raven though she saw Tess smile maliciously, but she quickly discarded that thought. Andy turned back to Raven and held her hand, his eyes twinkling at her. For some reason, she didn't feel anything when he held his hand in hers. She didn't feel the fireworks that she did when Beast Boy held her hand.
"Sorry about that. My sister insisted on coming. She has a crush on-"
"Beast Boy, yeah I noticed." Raven finished for him. Andy nodded and they both stared into the starry sky. You could get lost, just staring into the sky. You could get lost in all it's beauty and wonder. Andy gazed at Raven and for a quick second, his eyes flickered with hunger. He blinked, and his aqua blue eyes were back to normal.
"So, uh, sorry about the lousy date. I take it you know how Tess is. But I'll see you tomorrow, kay?" Andy said, as they stepped in front of the apartment building.
"It's okay, and yeah sounds great."
"Great." Andy replied, kissing Raven on her lips. A blush spread like wildfire on her pale face and she quickly ducked her head. Her heart was racing, but for all the wrong reasons.
(T.T.)
"Raven, you have a track record of ditching me with that girl, you know that?" Beast Boy complained, bursting through the door. Raven rolled her eyes and used her powers to close the door after him. He had his forest green jacket slung over his shoulder and his eyes looked weary.
"Did you walk home?" Raven asked, ignoring his comment.
"Nah, as soon as Tess left I flew home." Beast Boy answered, opening a Pepsi. For some reason, something felt out of place. Something didn't feel...right.
"Beast Boy, we have to go to the university." Raven said suddenly. Before he could object, Raven yanked him into the shadows. A few seconds later, the duo arrived at the college, Raven's eyes painted with worry.
"What's going on Raven?" Beast Boy asked, as Raven hovered above the ground.
"SHH!" she hissed, clasping her hand over his mouth. He glared at her, but didn't go against his wishes, seeing as he really didn't want to be zapped off into another dimension. A low, pained moan came from the corner of the building and Raven hurried over, making sure not to make any sounds.
"Holy shit." Beast Boy gasped at the sight in front of him. A boy, around the age of 18, lay on the ground, clutching his stomach, as he bled out on the sidewalk. He seemed to barely be awake and his breathing was shallow. Raven could feel the pain from him and staggered backward, taken aback by the overwhelming pain.
"Woah Rae, you ok?" Beast Boy said, steadying Raven.
"I'm fine. Let's just worry about him." Raven replied, kneeling down to the boy. She closed her eyes and placed a hand over his wound, making sure to concentrate. "Azarath Metrio Zinthos." she chanted over and over again. Her pale hand glowed a luminescent white color and she began hovering over the ground.
Almost instantaneously, the boy's wound healed, leaving the pool of blood around him the only evidence that he was ever injured. The boy blinked his eyes a couple of times before blacking out.
"He'll be alright, just needs time to take it all in." Raven whispered, weak from healing him. She stood up, a little bit woozy and faced Beast Boy.
"Alright, you bring him to the loft, I'll be right there." Raven said. Beast Boy nodded and shifted into a pterodactyl. Sighing, Raven leaned over, very exhausted. It took a lot of energy from her to both teleport here and heal him, not to mention she didn't meditate beforehand.
Suddenly she felt something push into and she yelped. Raven turned around and faced her "attacker".
It was Andy, and he was covered in blood.

Hey there! Thanks for the rad reviews! (clearly, I love the word rad too much)
Brea4458! I'm singling you out because you too, adore Gorillaz, unlike most other people I know. Everytime someone asks me my favorite band, and I say Gorillaz, they get a "Wtf..?" expression on their face. It annoys me so.
Anyway thanks for all the reviews, and next chapter should be out soon.
