Starfire chewed on her lip, which was lightly coated with shiny strawberry lip gloss. Usually she had to sneak out of the tower, but under the circumstances, she wasn't sure if she should sneak out, or merely walk out the front door. I mean, there was nothing to keep a secret anymore, was there? Did It matter if someone who might still be up saw her leave?
She debated for a while, but eventually decided on the front door. There was no point in going out the window when everyone knew. Right?
Sticking her titan communicator in her pocket, just in case, she pushed herself up off the unmade bed, and then began walking brusquely toward the door.
As she passed the kitchen, she saw Beast boy there, fast asleep, even though the lights were on brightly. She had to wake him. He would be so stiff in the morning if he slept there at the counter, he was in the most peculiar position. And they had training tomorrow.
She shook his shoulder lightly, but slept soundly on.
So, she shook his shoulder harder.
"Wazzat?" he asked groggily.
"Sorry for awakening you, Friend, but you must go to bed, or you will be sore in the morning."
Beast boy blinked a few times, and became more awake. His green eyes narrowed slightly. "You're going out, aren't you?" It was taken for granted that they both knew 'out' meant to see Red X.
Starfire couldn't help blushing a little.
"Well," she started; she tried to drag it out as long as possible to postpone having to give an excuse.
"You shouldn't, Star. That guy is bad news."
She took a step back as if he had slapped her. "He has changed."
There was silence; the two started blackly at each other, there was nothing else to say.
Starfire took it as her cue to leave. Beast boy frowned, but did not try to stop her as she grasped the brass doorknob, turned, and disappeared into the night.
Yes it is short again. From now on, the chapters will be about this length, I think. But, they will be coming more often, because I have a lot of stuff to do. So review please!
