Raven's bed was comfy, she was thankful for that. Most of her time at home was spent on her bed so when she came to this school with dorms, it would've sucked if she had an uncomfortable bed. Her bed was where she meditated, where she thought. It was basically her safe haven, surrounded by her books. Growing up, books were her only friends. Only escape from reality. That wasn't sad for her though, she didn't mind it at all. Books helped her in a way. It helped her become more stable with her mind and even her powers. She even learned to control some of it...just as long as she hadn't freaked out.
She was surprise at herself from the freak out. It took one hit and boom, the demon her father always wanted came out. She had hoped after all her training, she'd be able to last a little longer. Maybe even fight back and be just herself.
Sadly, it didn't happen.
Something that was even more surprising to her was that she didn't get kicked out of the school. She thought for sure she'd be kicked out the instant something bad happened because of her. But now she even had a 'guardian' or something like that, maybe a caretaker, that was supposed to watch her from now on. Obviously Raven didn't like that thought, but she wasn't going to fight it. Yet.
Speaking of the whole guardian thing, he was supposed to come pick her up at her dorm room for class.
Three days, he had said. Three days where he would have to watch over her intensely. Including following her around the halls, going to her classes with her which meant missing his own, and even at lunch. The only times she would be rid of him was when she was in her own room or the washroom since boys can't enter girl dorms and same for the other side. To be honest, he seemed a bit relieved speaking of that, like he didn't want to go in her room. Which was good for Raven since she didn't want that at all. But he seemed to dread this whole thing...and he didn't really seem like he knew what he was doing.
It looked like he was trying to hide the fact that he was new to this. Well Raven just guessed he was new to this because of the way he spoke. It wasn't exactly making it up on the spot, but she didn't think this was his own idea either. Probably from the principal.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a knock on her door. Raven let out a sigh before forcing herself to get off her bed, all ready and dressed for the new day. She was pretty grateful that she didn't have a roommate since she had never changed in front of a stranger before. She was a bit surprised that they were all one room dorms. It probably would've costed a lot, but then again, this was a school for the specially gifted. So if one of the roommates didn't like each other or got mad at each other...who knew if they were capable of killing or not.
Raven wouldn't put it past a few people she's met.
She grabbed her bag and lifted it up a little before opening the door to see her guardian.
He gave her a sheepish little grin, as if he was a bit embarrassed to be here, "Hey..." he mumbled.
Raven glanced to the side before looking back at him, not exactly out of embarrassment but more as if to remind him that she didn't care about him. Which she didn't but she wanted to make sure he knew that. She didn't want him here, but she understood why. She didn't like it, but she accepted.
"Hello." She replied, her voice plain and emotionless.
He frowned a bit at her voice then ran a hand through his spiky black hair, "Okay, well we should get going now. By the way, my name is Robin. I think I forgot to tell you yesterday." He said then moved over to the side so she could get past him.
She just nodded then pulled her hood up to mask her face, "Raven." she muttered then walked past him and closed the door behind her, her bag still firm in her hands.
"Nice to meet you Raven." Robin mumbled and walked behind her, which Raven figured was deliberate so they wouldn't have to talk much...or look at each other. She didn't mind him walking behind her anyways.
They walked down the hallway before turning and getting out of the dorm areas and into the actual school area. Glancing up at the clock nearby, Raven widened her eyes when she saw that she would be a bit late if she didn't hurry up. She scowled lightly as she started to walk a whole lot faster, since Robin was the one she was waiting for to show up and he apparently took forever.
She heard Robin hurry his own pacing too and hurried up some more. Not exactly a jog yet, but it was getting there.
Raven made it to class with only a few moments to spare. She at least got there, but she noticed that there were a lot of eyes on her. Honestly, she wasn't sure if it was because she got in right when the bell rang or because there was now a random guy in here with her. She could tell the teacher was at least more interested in that than her almost being late though.
A sigh escaped her lips as she went over to her seat and sat down while Robin went to explain to the teacher the situation quietly. Another reason why Raven guessed he was knew to this, he probably should've told her teachers earlier.
After he finished talking, Raven watched as he went and got a chair from the back and placed it down next to Raven's desk. He sat down on it calmly and just leaned back a little as the teacher started to take attendance. She didn't look around exactly, but she did glance about her neighbours, to see that they were all looking at Robin. One girl, who Raven believed was named Kitty, was even giving Robin googly eyes.
..Gross..
As class moved on, she watched out of the corner of her eye Robin try to entertain himself in many different ways. One was tossing a pencil up in the air then catching it. Another was drawing a face on an eraser then have it and the pencil fight. And Raven's least favourite way, trying to see how many paper air planes he can throw in the recycling without the teacher noticing.
Raven sighed loudly as the paper airplane hit the back of the teacher's head. This...was going to be a long day.
