Teen Titans Song Fiction: Against All Odds
Oh gosh guys, I'm sorry but . . . I've got summer classes :) I'm taking human anatomy, human biology, and physiology BUT not to worry! I will always update everyday with at least a chapter :D I've got the plot all in my head ;)
I'm sorry for making this seem slow but it's part of the plot, most of it, some are just there so everything makes sense. After the first day, there will be less high school details. And I promise you there will be Robin and Starfire action soon in a few days. And some few songs :)
I appreciate your comments, reviews, and anticipation! It really gives me more confidence in my writing! - MaestroLucario
Shutting up now . . .
Chapter 13: Afternoon Classes
August 30, 2010; Monday; 12:20 p.m.
Gotham High School
6th period AP English
RING!
Kori, Rachel, and Karen sat near the doorway. Mr. Blood entered the room with a cart full of books.
"Class!" he shouted. "My name is Mr. Blood! I will be your AP English teacher!"
He handed out a book to each student.
"For the next few weeks, we will be reading the Merchant of Venice. Your homework is to read Act 1, Scenes 1 – 3 and to write down any 30 literary terms you can find. Whether it is simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, anything!"
Kori whispered to Rachel, "I've read this book before, it was very . . . interesting. So much anti-Semitism."
"Exactly," Rachel muttered. "I've read this book too."
"These will be your textbooks!" Mr. Blood shouted and pointed his finger to the cart.
Karen groaned, "You've got to be kidding me."
The whole class looked at the textbooks, they were 12 inches thick.
This was going to be exhausting.
6th period AP Trig
Vic sighed in boredom as he answered his Trig questions easily. "At least no one's gonna distract me."
6th period U.S. History
Mr. Mod just kept babbling and babbling. Richard looked beside him and saw Gar with his head down, snoring and drooling.
Richard buried his head in his hands. So far this was the worst class he has ever taken. Sitting in the back row were him, Gar, Kitten, Babs, Roy, Jade, and Xavier.
Richard just sat there and lazily wrote down the notes on the bored, ignoring the ugly smile from Kitten, the stare from Babs, and the glares from Roy and Xavier.
1:10 p.m.
RING!
Richard quickly stood up, grabbed a sleeping and drooling Gar's shirt and dragged him out of the classroom.
"Oy! Don't forget to read pages 3 – 12 and answer all the questions on page 13 and 14! Class dismissed!" Mr. Mod yelled over the bell.
"Move it Grayson," Xavier pushed passed him with an arm slinging over Babs. Babs looked at him with sad eyes.
Richard just ignored them and shook Gar. "Come on, Gar. Let's get to class."
"Huh?" Gar said sleepily. "What was the homework?"
"Read pages 3 – 12 and answer pages 13 – 14," Richard replied swiftly.
"Thanks, Dude." Then he groaned, "Awww, man! I got Gym with Flinders."
"See you later."
"So, Kori, when's you're next class?" Karen stuttered as she carried her large textbook and shoved it in her locker.
Kori, who was carrying the large textbook like a normal one, replied, "I got AP Trig next. And I have to dump this in my locker. See you guys later!"
1:15 p.m.
7th period AP English
RING!
Vic looked down at his large textbook. "Awww, man! More reading!"
Mr. Blood turned around and smirked at him, "This is an advanced placement English class, Mister Stone. Of course you will be doing more reading. Unless you want to disobey me and I would have to set up a detention tomorrow after school. We wouldn't want that, would we? Since the football try outs will be tomorrow?"
The class gave snickers. And Vic just kept his mouth shut and continued writing down notes.
7th period P.E.
Karen, Rachel, and Gar were doing jump ropes. They heard a scream, "Ahhhh!"
They stopped jumping when they saw Kitten sitting on the Gym floor with her nails close to her face.
Karen whispered, "I bet she broke her nail –
"I broke my nail!" Kitten wailed.
Coach Flinders came up and shouted at Kitten, "Get up or get detention!" Coach Flinders was a caveman when he gets angry. Karen, Rachel, and Gar flinched and quickly continued with their jump roping.
7th period AP Trig
As soon as the students entered the classroom, Mr. O'Jeneus, a short man who was bald and had big glasses, said, "Stand up at the front of the room. You will be having assigned partners and seating arrangements."
The class groaned. Little did Richard and Kori know that they were in the same classroom. Every girl in the room wanted to be partners with Richard, except Kori because she doesn't know he was here. Every boy wanted to be partners with Kori, except Richard because neither did he know that Kori was in the same class. Mr. O'Jeneus sensed this and decided to experiment a little.
"Miss Anders and Mister Grayson. Back row, right corner," he smirked while the class groaned in disappointed.
Kori and Richard stepped out of the crowd of students and stared at each other. "We have the same class," they said at the same time and then they laughed.
They walked to their seats in the back of the room. Richard held his hand out, as if they were meeting for the first time, "Hello, Miss Anders. It is a pleasure meeting you."
"As do I, Mister Grayson," Koi smiled beautifully.
This is going to be the best class ever, Richard's voice sang in his head.
RING!
2:05 p.m.
"Homework, answer pages 5 – 10 on your textbooks."
Kori and Richard stood up and packed their books and notebooks in their bags.
"Hey, Kori?" Richard asked, feeling something was in his throat.
"Yeah, Richard?" Kori smiled at him.
He cleared his throat. "I was wondering if you wanna work on the homework together after school or after try-outs, I mean, if you'd like?" he asked politely.
She grinned wider, "Of course, do you mind if we work in your home?"
He couldn't help smile back at her, "Yeah. I also invited the others, since we have the same French and Theater Arts."
"Sounds great."
They walked out the classroom. "What's your next class?" he asked.
"She checked her schedule, "I've got P.E. Competitive."
Richard's mood brightened at her words, "Me, too. And we got Vic, too."
"Awesome," she cheered.
As soon as the bell rang, Vic stood up and ran out of the classroom, "Finally! Yea, time to go to P.E.!"
He met up with Richard and Kori, who were heading to the gym.
"Hey, guys!"
They turned around and greeted him, "Hey, Vic."
"How's AP English?" Kori asked.
Vic groaned. "Man, Mister Blood almost gave me detention."
Richard's eyes widened. "That would've mean you won't be able to try out for basketball and football."
"I know, man. At least he didn't give me one."
They reached their respective lockers. Kori went in the girls and the guys went in the boys.
2:10 p.m.
8th period Algebra 2
RING!
Mr. Numer had a country accent. "All righty, y'all. Gather up a partner n' answer pages . . "
Karen and Gar were the only ones in this class, so they had no choice but to be partners.
"Karen, let's split it. I do odds and you do evens," Gar suggested, as he did with Richard in Physics.
Karen just looked at him. "That's a good idea, Gar . . ." she mumbled in surprise.
He grinned smugly. "I've been told before."
8th period AP Trig
Rachel was partnered up with Joseph Wilson and they worked together to solve the problems in the book.
8th period P.E. Competitive
Kori didn't have a uniform, so she was told to where school colors instead. She just wore her blue basketball shorts and a black sporty cross back tank top. She tied her hair into a high pony tail and jogged to Richard and Vic who were leaning against the bleachers of the gym.
"Hi," she smiled.
Richard and Vic were wearing black sleeveless shirts and blue basketball shorts.
"Lookin' good, Kori," Vic grinned and wiggles his eyebrows at Richard.
"Thanks," she replied.
Richard ignored Vic and said, "Come on. Flinders gonna go mad if we don't get into roll call."
Vic nodded, "I bet he's gonna makes us run a mile."
"Is he really that bad?" she asked curiously as they walked to the bleachers.
Richard nodded, "Yeah. He makes us run a mile every day and you have to finish within 10 minutes. After that, he makes us play sports against other people."
Vic chimed in, "But on Fridays he makes you run two miles and you have to finish that within 15 minutes. I mean, last years I barely made it."
Richard laughed. "You got in at 14:57."
"I know, man. He was gonna give me detention, I can't afford to miss football practice."
"So, you guys got in." A voice said behind them.
It was Roy. And with him was Xavier and Babs.
Roy and Xavier were wearing the same thing as Vic and Richard. Babs was wearing a black shirt and blue jogging capris. Xavier's arm slung on one of Babs shoulders.
"Basketball after running. 3 on 3. You guys better find someone else to play with," he said it quickly and walked away to the other side of the bleacher.
Vic looked at Kori, "You up for some game?"
She grinned, "I never back down at a challenge."
Richard grinned too, "Good, cuz we're gonna kick their asses."
Coach Flinders entered the gym and shouted, "Roll call!"
After attendance, he shouted again. "One mile! If you don't get in by 10 minutes, detention!" The class quickly nodded and started running in the track.
Vic and Richard were running together while Kori went ahead. Xavier tried to catch up to her, but she was too fast.
She overlapped Vic and Richard and she gave a breathless 'Hi.' to them.
Kori finished her last lap and had a time of 4:43. She stopped in front of Coach Flinders and took deep breaths.
He nodded, impressed by the new girl. "You're really fast, thinking of trying out for track?"
"Me? No," she gasped.
"Well, you should. You'll make a great addition to the team. And we don't have a single female, we need at least one so there will be a female representative for track. Don't you think so Wally?"
Wally straightened up from doing his after-stretches and grinned, "Yeah, Kori. You should try out for track. You did a mile under 5 minutes, that's pretty amazing!"
Coach nodded, "Wally's captain of the track team. He knows potential when he sees it."
"You think I should join, Wally?"
"Heck yeah, Kori!"
She smiled at him and answered, "Sure. Why not?"
Wally jumped and ran to Kori, giving her a hug. "Finally! A girl in the team! Unfortunately, you can only do solo races."
"It's cool. Nothing I can't handle."
"Well, see ya after school, Kori. You just need to sign up. It'll only take a few minutes. Garth's calling me."
She turned around and saw Garth waving at them and a faint, "Hey, Kori."
She waved back and Vic and Richard just finished their laps.
Kori laughed at the sight, they were both sweaty and gasped for breaths. "Tired?"
They nodded their heads, unable to speak. Coach Flinders listed their time, 8:26.
"Damn, Kori," Vic said. "You run really fast."
She rubbed the back of her neck. "I guess. The Coach told me to join track. I think I will."
Richard nodded in agreement. "You should. You are a fast runner."
"Come on. I'll go get a ball and we can start practicing," Kori ran inside the gym to get a basketball.
As she jogged inside the gym, her ponytail swayed right and left. Richard just stared at her dreamily.
Vic chuckled, "Dick, you're droolin' all over the place."
I decided to add Kori as a more sporty person because of her Tamaranian abilities and because I'm on the JV track team for school! The running time was my personal mile time :D So, this chapter was nothing really special except Kori and Richard get a class that's only the two of them and some minor details. Next chapter: Vic, Richard, and Kori VS ?, Xavier, and Roy. 3 on 3 basketball! I love basketball so much! Did I also tell you I'm on the JV basketball team XD I'm such an athletic freak. - MaestroLucario :D
