Here I am, back again and ready to answer some reviews.
Raven A. Star: Raven should kill Terra shouldn't she?
Leviathan680: Thanx for telling me what a spirit assembly is and I'm glad you liked chapter 7!
**Darkfire**: Terra-Haters Society…LOL!
Cloud Strife Omega: *Troubled-ego kills Terra and gives the head to Cloud*
Nny: I might put you in the last chapter. I know you can't wait. ^^
NavynBabyBlueSuedeShoes: I might use some of those ideas. Thanks!
IamnottakingRAVENsname: You're welcome and may I remind you that you're in this chapter too!
Draikitha: You are also welcome and will also be in this chapter.
Raven Demon: I'm also doing pretty good! Glad that you're okay! ^_^
concrned: Don't worry about chapter 7! It has nothing to do with the story line. I just make chapters like that so I could make a creative way of answering reviews. SCHOOL WOES! isn't a Rave/BB story anyway. So don't worry. I wouldn't make them get together that quick anyway. That chapter was just something extra. No worries!
FLAME ALERT! FLAME ALERT!
Queen Tigris: Wow, I was waiting to get my first flame (yes, I classify this as a flame) and I finally got one! Now flamer, prepare to get punished! This was for SCHOOL WOES! chapter 5. To check out what she wrote go to the reviews.
Okay, that flame made me really angry inside. I don't like it when people think that they can boss me around and tell me that I SHOULD DELETE ONE OF MY CHAPTERS!! HOW DARE YOU! You have some nerve, your "Majesty"! First of all, chapter five has nothing, and I repeat NOTHING to do with the story! It is just some creative way in answering my reviews. I'm not going to say it was random because it wasn't, your "Majesty"! I looked at two of your "humor" fics and they had no humor in it what-so-ever. You call your stories funny and then have the nerve to review me and tell me that my story WAS NOT FUNNY and that I SHOULD DELETE IT?!?!? What is wrong with you?! Secondly, you are the only person who says that I put the Titans out of character. Everyone else say that they are in character except for you! I put them in character according to how each of them would act in that certain type of situation and keep it in a humorous sort of way, but then again, you were also the only person to say that my story was NOT funny?!? People review me all the time to say how HILARIOUS it was. I guess you just don't have a sense of humor so you're to blind to see what real humor is! Third, a hyper Raven is funny and some people enjoy seeing Raven coming out of her shell a little bit. Now I could have gone over-board like some people do and have her act even more hyper, but I didn't. Also, it is a humor fiction, so I can bend the rules a little bit. If you look at my other Teen Titans story called Fighting Flu, you will see that everything probably fits more and everyone's character matches just well. Back to the subject, you were also the only person to tell me that chapter four was not very funny. I don't even think the beginning of chapter four was funny, instead I thought that the middle was quite humorous. I will NOT delete my chapter that I worked hard on just because some girl who thinks she's immortal and has plants growing out of her hair tells me to do so! I'm glad you lost interest in this story because I don't want anyone who will flame my story just because they can't write one as funny as this one to read it because it will just waste their time. Don't ever flame me (or any of my author/ess buddies) again. I hope I made myself clear.
Good riddance to you too!

P.S. Here's a quote from AFI: Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling

Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling

Well, now I feel refreshed after writing to that very mean Queen Tigris. If you guys think that I was a bit too harsh with my response, tell me. Let this be a warning to anyone else who wishes to flame me. Now on with the next funny chapter of SCHOOL WOES!
SCHOOL WOES!-Detention
The morning was a terrible one. Gray clouds formed around Jump City consuming it into darkness and hiding the early morning sun. The rain pound on the windows of the T-shaped tower. The five teens sat in the kitchen eating breakfast while observing the heavy downpour.
"What's the rush Rae?" asked the leader from a steaming cup of coffee.
Raven paced around to get her things organized. "I have detention today. Have you forgotten?"
Robin scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, guess I did."
Raven finished getting ready for school and called to her metal friend. "Cyborg, can you take me now?"
The android looked up from the stove where he was cooking his meaty sausages. "Uhh, sure Raven but why so early? You can go to detention after school. You do know that, right?"
The pacifist nodded her head. "Of course, I just want to get this over with though."
"Understood," Cyborg winked. "C'mon! We have to get you to school!" With that, the robotic Titan ran for his T-car in the garage. Everyone said goodbye to Raven as she followed Cyborg.
In the garage, the T-Car's engine varoomed. Raven hopped in and buckled her seat belt (buckle up people).
Cyborg turned around to face Raven who was sitting in the back. "Ready to go?"
"Duh." she rolled her eyes.
Cyborg sighed and stepped on the gas while putting the car in reverse mode. The beautiful T-Car backed up as the garage doors began to open. As the engine roared and the car backed up all the way, Cyborg put the car in drive and the car set off to Gotham City High (there isn't any high schools in Jump City if you're wondering).
(SCHOOL WOES! theme)
When there's trouble you know what's the cause
SCHOOL WOES!
From your class seat you can see it all
SCHOOL WOES!
When there's teachers on the attack
You can freak out or do your math test
'Cuz when the world needs bad lunch and lots of mold
SCHOOL WOES! GO!
With their super teachers they unite
SCHOOL WOES!
Never met a student that they liked
SCHOOL WOES!
They got the bad kids on the run
They never stop till detention's done
'Cuz when the school is loosing all control
SCHOOL WOES! GO!
SCHOOL WOES! GO!
1, 2, 3, 4, GO!
SCHOOL WOES!
A blue and white car pulled up to the side of the mass two-story building painted the school colors—blue and silver. The two teens sat together in the car for a few seconds. Cyborg turned around and asked, "Detention huh? What did you do this time?"
This was a joke thought Raven. "I didn't do anything Cyborg." she then opened the car door and began to exit.
"Whatever it was, you must have really screwed up!"
Raven rolled her eyes while her back was turned. "That is so typical of you Cyborg."
The metallic teen laughed once more before waving. "Good luck, Rae!" Then he drove off.
Raven just huffed and pulled her small, black NIKE backpack over her shoulder. 'Do your worst, school.' The telepath walked on to the entrance of the highschool. As she continued to walk, she finally met up with a familiar face.
"Well, well, well…I knew you'd be showing up sooner or later." she commented.
Raven pulled her hood over her head to hide the hateful expression crawling up to her face. "Why aren't you serving detention after school?"
Jinx just smirked. "You think I want to go through punishment all by myself?"
"Sure, why not? Who'd wanna be with you anyway?"
The pink-haired witch just shrugged while keeping a confident smirk on her face. Raven had a feeling that her rival was hiding something from her. She could just read Jinx's mind, but last time she did that, the consequences really effected her. She shuddered at remembering Beast boy's thoughts about a certain blonde-haired girl a while back. Jinx noticed Raven's intensive thinking so she snapped her fingers in front of the telepath's face.
"Yo! Hood! I think we oughtta be going to our detention class now. It's almost 7:00!"
Raven narrowed her violet eyes and followed Jinx to the detention room. They arrived at the top floor in front of a door that read: Room 666.
Raven cocked and eyebrow. 'Since when was there a room 666? The school only has about 230 classrooms! I am so confused. Maybe I've been around Beast boy and Starfire a bit too much!'
Jinx noticed the tension and confusion going on with Raven. She cackled on the inside and turned the knob on the door. Room 666 was a weird looking classroom. In fact, it looked brand new like it was built just yesterday. The desks looked new, the marker board looked new, the markers looked new. Just like the principal, the room looked oddly familiar. Raven and Jinx took a seat and while the psychic was seated, she was absorbing the look of the room. Everything was black and white. The tile on the floor was black and white and there were only black markers while the board was white. Even the seats were black and white while the wall was just white. 'Okay, I'm beginning to have déjà vu.' thought Raven. She glanced over to Jinx who was smiling in a conniving sort of way. 'I think I will read her mind now.' Raven began to burrow into the minds of her enemy. Now, Jinx was trained at the H.A.E.Y.P school academy to recognize different things and she learned much in the art of witchcraft including how to recognize when someone was trying to read your mind. She could feel Raven swimming through the plans and memories in her head and she decided to counter attack her approach. So Jinx thought of a funny moment when she accidentally saw Mammoth naked. It took a while for her to bring it forth in her mind because not even she wanted to remember it.
Just as Jinx planned, Raven's eyes widened in shock and she broke the hold of Jinx's mind and started yelling out like a madman. The pink-haired weirdo, looked at Raven and pretend that she had no idea what was going on. "What's wrong with you?"
Raven quit her drama act and rubbed her eyes. "Nothing." She then started smacking her head.
Jinx tried to hold in her laughter thinking Raven was scarred for life.
'Gah! That was even worse than Beast boy's thoughts on Terra!' Raven thought while still trying to whack the memory out of her head before it became permanent. She didn't succeed. Jinx began to giggle as she could not hold it in anymore and Raven finally caught on.
"You little bit—" The telepath started but was quickly interrupted.
"No profanity in school!" Jinx raised her index finger and waved it back and forth like a metronome.
Raven grumbled and made a fist. "You'll die for your arrogance!"
"And you'll die from depression." Jinx countered. Raven lunged forward to attack but some invisible force sent her crashing into an invisible wall. "Ow." Raven slid down to the floor while rubbing her re-broken nose.
"Oye! How many times do I have to tell you lot, no violence in school!" a mysterious voice called out.
Jinx smiled while Raven looked around. "Who's there?" she stood up and got into a fighter stance.
"No worries, love." The ceiling opened up and a red-haired man descended from it landing slowly on the black and white tile.
Raven gasped. "Mad Mod!"
"That's right young lass, and I'm serving detention!" Mad Mod danced around the room with his cane twirling in his left hand.
Raven felt some emotion boiling in her blood. Was it anger? No, it was a slight bit a fear. "Not if I can help it." her hands glowed a black aura and she fired a few blasts of energy to blow a hole in the walls but the attack only vanished after contact with a wall. Meanwhile, Jinx was laughing hysterically knowing that her plan had succeeded. Raven felt trapped and she gulped as Mad Mod danced toward her. Jinx got out of her seat and both Moddy and Jinx grabbed Raven to sit her down in one of the chairs. Raven squirmed and wriggled, kicked and punched until she finally got out of their grasp.
"Get her!" Mad Mod ordered.
Jinx chased the telepath as Raven lured her closer to the wall. Jinx made a dive for Raven, but she end up slamming face first into it as Raven phased right through into the hallway.
"Aye," Mad Mod grabbed his hair. "Don't let the lass escape!" They opened the door and chased Raven through the hallway.
Raven ran as fast as her feet could carry her. Hmm, this reminded her of a time a while back when Beast boy bought that movie called "Wicked Scary". Yeah, that movie kinda scared her. In fact her powers created a nightmare in the Titans tower. That was the first time in her life that she felt afraid. Now she was running away from a freak with pink hair and an old man. 'Good thing he doesn't have control over things in this school.' Raven thought as she scampered down the stairs. She stopped to take a breather.
The tired telepath looked around. It was quiet. What time was it? A few kids walked around the school to make trips to the bathrooms. Raven walked up to one senior boy.
"Can you please tell me what time it is." she panted. Raven looked around frantically to make sure that Jinx and Mad Mod had lost her.
The senior smiled. "Well you're looking cute today."
Raven felt flustered at that comment. Good thing she had her hood on. "The time is...?"
The senior looked at his watch then back into Raven's violet eyes. "8:03, sweetie."
Raven cursed under her breath. 'I know what's going on. They're trying to keep me in detention for the whole day. Then Mad Mod wants to brainwash me and who knows what that pink-haired freak wants to do with me...' Raven forgot the senior admiring her looks. "Uh, that is kinda property of me and I don't feel comfortable with you staring at it." she said while covering her chest.
The senior snapped out of his trance. "Oh sorry. It's just that the girls in this school aren't as good looking as you." He smiled. "Hi, I'm Diego."
"Nice to meet you. Do you have a girl friend?"
Diego shook his head. "Not yet, but I'm looking." he smirked showing his white, sparkly teeth.
Raven stumbled away. "I know where this is going. Sorry to say, but I'm glad flying solo. I gotta go now. BYE!" Then she ran away.
Diego snapped his fingers. "Shoot! Well, guess I can try out that alien girl." He then walked to his first destination: the bathroom.
Jinx and Mad Mod finished running down the stairs after searching the whole second floor of the school. "We lost the blasted child!" Mad Mod pointed to Jinx. "This is all your fault!"
Jinx looked offended. "Oh! My fault?! You scared her away with your fugly face!"
"Now, now, no need to get so harsh! I'm getting braces this month."
Jinx stomped her feet on the concrete floor. "Argh! We don't have time for this, Mod! You search this way and I'll go that way." she commanded while pointing straight for her and left for Mad Mod. "You get more ground to search you blasted pink monkey!" he complained. "Look...shut up before I put a curse on you!" Jinx screamed.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
Then the duo split up to search for Raven.

"Okay, to solve linear systems by linear combinations you obtain one pair of opposite coefficients. You can multiply one or both equations if necessary. Anyway, next you add the equations and solve for one variable. After that, you substitute into either equation to solve for the other variable. Beast boy!" Mr. Takanu slammed his ruler on the changeling's desk to awaken him.
"Huh-wha? Uh...?" Beast boy asked while searching around for what happened.
"You fell asleep in class, Mr. Logan. Please don't do it again...and wipe your mouth." Mr. Tanaku squint his eyes in disgust. "You're drooling."
"Eh-heh-heh." Beast boy sweatdropped and wiped his mouth with his sleeve as Mr. Tanaku returned to the board.
"Now Beast boy, how do I solve the equation: 2x+y=4 + x-y=2?"
The green teen scratched the back of his head. "Uh...you do something with something and stuff will happen?"
The class laughed.
"No! Cyborg?"
Cyborg thought for a bit. "First, I think you add 2x with x to make 3x and you cancel out y and –y because one is positive and the other is negative. Then you add 4 and 2 making 6 and divide that 6 by 3. That makes x=2!" he smiled brightly after speaking.
"Good," Mr. Tanaku clapped. "Then what? Maria?"
"You plug in the two where the x was." the girl said.
Mr. Takanu nodded. "Yes, then what?"
Robin raised his hand and Mr. Takanu called on him. "When you plug two in, the problem becomes 2-y=2 since the bottom problem, x-y=2 was the easiest to sustitute. Then you subtract two to make –y=0. Put 1 in front of the y to make it –1y=0 so it will enable you to divide 0 by –1. When divided, y should equal 0. Then you take the solutions for x and y and put them together to form the linear coordinates (2,0)."
"Very good Robin," the teacher smiled. "Now, on your paper, I want all of you to solve x+3y=2 + -x+2y=3. Do it now."
***
"I know you're here Raven!" Jinx shouted as she searched campus.
Raven closed her eyes to pretend that she was invisible. 'There's no place like home, there's no place like home.' She re-opened her eyes to see Jinx standing under her looking around. Raven was stretched across the top an awning outside. If Jinx looked above, she would see Raven right there (think about the movie: Spiderman and that part where he was sticking to the ceiling as Mr. Osborne scanned the room. Raven is hanging on the part of the awning just like that). Raven could feel the sweat starting to pour down her forhead. 'Shoot,' she thought. 'Don't fall.'
It looked as if Jinx was sniffing the air. The sorceress was about to leave until a small droplet of sweat fell to the concrete; the sound like a drum pounding loudly.
'CRAP!' Raven panicked. Fate was definitely not on her side today. Jinx moved her head up violently and saw a waving Raven who was grinning nervously. Jinx smiled and performed and energy blast toward Raven, but the telepath flipped to the ground and landed cat-like onto the concrete as the slashed awning gently collapsed on her. Jinx walked over to Raven who stayed in that position under the awning. Jinx cackled, "I've got you now!" and lift the awning off of Raven to find nothing there. "What the hell?!" Jinx looked around until something tapped her on the back. She turned around quickly. "What the hell do you want, Mod?!" she said as she spun around. Surprisingly, Mad Mod was not there. In it's place was a fist flying straight for her face.
BAM! Contact. Jinx flew backward hitting her head on the ground. "Stupid witch." Raven spat as she cracked her knuckles. The pacifist turned around to walk away but met up with Mod. Raven gasped but her surprise was cut short as Mod whacked her in the head with his cane. The next thing she saw was utter darkness.
Everything was spinning with blacks and whites. The whole world was turning upside down for the teen telepath. She heard voices in her head that sounded like Mad Mod talking to Jinx about something.
"That demon freak knocked me out! It wasn't my fault!" Jinx complained.
Mad Mod looked over to the pacifist who was just coming out of her coma. "Doesn't matter. We've got the little scamp where I want her."
Jinx held the ice pack to her face. "After you hypnotize her, can I beat her up and make her my slave?"
"She will be all our slave." he rubbed his hands together.
Raven began to open her eyes. 'Ow, I feel so weak. Did I get hit by a school bus?' The psychic slowly looked up and saw a hypno-screen with Mad Mod and Jinx standing in front of it. Black and white swirls appeared in Raven's amethyst eyes. She was loosing conciousness again. The world was getting blurry. Raven's face sunk as she was being consumed by the hypnotism. Her eyes widened and her memory began to fade.
Jinx and Mad Mod laughed at Raven as the once powerful half demon spawn fell to a weakness. Raven was going to be on their side. The telekinetic continued to stare at the screen. Was this the end?
Jinx walked up to Raven and waved her hand in front of her face. No response. "Hey, Mod! I think she's ready! Can I have some fun with her now?"
Moddy cackled, "Sure child. Have all the fun you want. Just don't kill the lass."
"Gotcha." Jinx winked and untied Raven. Mad Mod turned the hypno-screen off. The pink-haired sorceress got Raven to stand. "This is for beating the HIVE for the first time!" She whacked Raven in the face and she skid along the classroom floor. Her eyes were still wide open with swirls twirling in them and her expression was still clueless. Jinx walked up to the brainwashed witch. "This is for putting us back in jail after Halloween!" Jinx kicked Raven hard in the side as Mad Mod applauded the performance.
"This is for getting into a fight with me in drama!" she slammed Raven into the wall. "This is for mentally throwing that prop in my face!" she slapped her viciously. "This is for making me go to the principal's office!" The witch grabbed Raven's neck and tossed her across the room. "This is for knocking me out!" Jinx stomped on Raven's face. "And this...this is for making me look like a fool!" Jinx raised her hand into the air and created a pink curse and she aimed it at Raven's head.
"This is for trying to hypnotize me..." Raven opened her eyes. Mad Mod and Jinx jumped back in shock. Raven got up and stood on her feet; a black aura surrounded her and she gazed a dead stare at Jinx.
"Ah, h-how d-did you—" Mad Mod began.
"I would never give into hypnotism that easily. You obviously don't know me well. I let the hypno-rays travel into my eyes but I made a psychic barrier in my brain so that the effect only turned out very temporary and the hypnotism would wear off. Learned that trick from a friend name Azar back at home." Raven smirked.
Jinx and Mad Mod were shocked beyond comparison.
"I felt your attacks while I was "hypnotized", it hurt. Now I'm very angry."
Jinx's reaction slowly went back to normal. "Guess I didn't hit you hard enough." And she put on the same pose as her telekinetic rival. Both auras surrounding them. One pink, another black. Mad Mod just stood there with his eyes still bugging out.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
...
The three people exchanged glances.
"Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!!" Raven shouted louder.
Still nothing.
Jinx and Mad Mod cackled. Jinx had no idea what she was laughing about but Mad Mod explained what was going on. "When we tied you up to that chair over there, we used a special rope, love. That rope sapped all of your powers in your body and the effect should last for about fifteen more minutes!"
"Looks like you can't use your fancy powers till the fifteen minutes are up! What are you going to do now?" Jinx smiled with glee and she placed her hands on her hips.
Raven looked at her hands and then focused her attention toward Jinx and Moddy. "Guess I'll just have to run."
Raven bolted out of the room.
"You nit-wit! Why didn't you lock the door?!?!" The crazy sorceress screamed. Mad Mod cringed. "I didn't think my plan would back fire."
"Ugh! Let's get her!"
The two villains ran out of the door to get Raven back at all costs.
{K2G Music: Play it now if you have it downloaded}
(If anyone finds Japanese lyrics, I will still take them and update those into the chapter. Also, this part goes by fast so try to read to the tempo of the music...I have no idea what I'm trying to say.)
Raven runs across the hallway on the second floor and slides on the stairway all the way down to the first floor. Then she runs into one classroom door. Jinx and Mad Mod chase her through the classroom the students jump around, laugh, scream, and attack the villains while Raven cuts through the class and ends up in another hallway. Jinx and Mad Mod finally catch up and papers fly through the door where they just exited. Moddy tries to kick off a sheet of paper sticking to his shoe while he's running. Raven enters into another classroom and Moddy with Jinx follow. They look around and just see students and a teacher. Raven's hiding behind the television holding a finger up to her mouth to tell the class to be quiet. Some students just giggle to themselves. SaNgO MiStReSs waves to Raven when Mod and Jinx are trying to get information out of the teacher. Raven runs from behind the t.v and writes a note, tossing it to SaNgO MiStReSs. The note says, "Bathroom pass". Raven winks and SaNgO MiStReSs nods. Jinx and Moddy re-chase their opponent.
Raven is running around the main loggia and scampers to the cafeteria. She goes through the lunch line and hides behind the counter. Jinx and Mad Mod are in the line (lunch didn't start yet. It's only second period) looking for their prey. A grey hand is reaching over the counter to grab an apple. The villains notice and slap Raven's hand. The telepath pops up behind the counter and rubs her hand while grinning, then in a flash of light; she bolts out of the cafeteria. There are many doors in the hallway. Raven runs through one, Jinx and Mod pop out of another and go through the door Raven traveled into. Raven pops out of another door and Jinx mysteriously falls from the sky while Mad Mod opens the door to the one across from our telepathic friend. Raven freaks out and goes back into the door she came from and Mad Mod goes through Raven's door. Jinx finally snaps out of it and is about to chase Mad Mod but A giant Raven runs out of another door and accidentally yet purposely runs over Jinx. Jinx is a flattened sheet of paper and slowly flitters to the ground. Mod grabs Jinx and she inflates again. They chase Raven. Raven comes out of the same door as before but now she shrunk and runs under Mad Mod but stops and jumps high into the air to hit something very unpleasant that makes Mod fall down to his knees, crying in a fetal position. Jinx picks Moddy up and he stumbles to walk while she makes him go to one door and she stays at a different one. All of a sudden, two Ravens come out of completely different doors. Jinx and Mod exchange glances and each one chases a Raven. Finally, Raven runs out of one door and goes some place else while Jinx and Mad Mod are running through different doors trying to find the dark Titan female. They finally catch on and run to where Raven went.
Raven runs into different classrooms again. This time she runs to the portables and goes through the weight-training classroom where Beast boy is lifting weights. He sees his teammate and the villains and out of surprise, drops his weights, which lands on his toe. He screams and hops around on one foot. Next, Raven runs through art class and sees Cyborg painting a picture of the T-tower. She also notices several Goth boys painting a six-ft sculpture of her. They see her and shower her with gifts. Cyborg rubs his eye to make sure he's not hallucinating and spills yellow paint on his pants. When Raven escapes the classroom, she is wearing a lea with a crown of flowers and several 20K gold diamond rings on her fingers. The dark girl continues running. Jinx and Moddy exit the classroom with paint all over their bodies and clothes.
After that, the half demon spawn raced to Pathways where Starfire was. She ran over to Starfire and gave her a high-five, shook Allison's hand and hid under Starfire's desk. Jinx and Mad Mod ran into the classroom and saw a pissed off Starfire so they ran out. Raven felt relieved until Mrs. Geyerg kicked her out of the classroom. Then she was chased again. Now, Raven had hope for one more person. She ran to health class. There she met Robin, June, and Gizmo. Raven paused after seeing the machine maniac. Jinx and Mad Mod ran in and paused to see Robin and June cracking their knuckles. Like Mrs. Geyerg, Mrs. Schlovaski kicked the three out of her classroom. Oh well, looks like this was something only Raven was allowed to deal with. She ran on to the gym.
{Stop K2G}
'There has got to be some place to hide from dumb and dumber.' she thought. Raven looked around at her surroundings. Many basketballs bounced onto the shiny wooden floor of the gym room. Kids hopped around and ran, blocked, and stole. Boys showed off their skills by seeing who can slam-dunk better. 'How am I going to hide in this place?'
Then the telepath spun around in the direction where she had heard approaching footsteps. She panicked and dove into the bleachers. The shady girl with amethyst eyes approached a guy with a baseball cap. "Can I borrow this? Thanks!" she took the cap without even waiting for a response and shoved it on her head. Now think of a person wearing a hood and cloak with a baseball cap over it. That's what Raven looked like, and she felt stupid. 'Crap!' she mentally yelled—she saw Mad Mod and Jinx slither right into the gym, they were looking around for her. Raven shoved the cap further onto her face. 'I am invisible, I am invisible, I am invisible—' she would continuously repeat to herself. 'I want my mommy.'
Jinx stared at the number of sweaty seniors in the gym room and grinned—holding her pinky and thumb near her ear resembling a phone and mouthing the words "Call me". The guys just cocked their eyebrows and walked away. The pink-haired witch sulked. "I lose more guys that way." she muttered to no one in particular. Mad Mod just straightened his glasses and continued to look around until he spotted a figure who looked peculiarly familiar. The old man squint his eyes.
"Lassy," he reached for Jinx. "I think I've found the little scamp."
Jinx's eyes lit up brightly. "We should use stealth." The witch took time to look at her prey. "Does Raven really think we're that stupid?" She was expecting an answer that time but none came. "Mod?" She looked behind her. He was not there. Then a little twitch in her brain told her to look at the bleachers. Mad Mod was running for Raven. "I said stealth Mod!" she shrieked.
Raven jumped up in surprise and jumped off the bleachers with one mighty leap landing onto the floor. Now, she was sitting at the top row of the bleachers and that was a pretty far fall so her feet really ached. She didn't care—she ran as fast as her sore feet would take her. Raven almost forgot the hat, so she tossed it to the guy she took it from. Mad Mod and Jinx were definitely chasing her now.
"God, I hate gym." a girl muttered to herself while bouncing a basketball. Suddenly someone came up from behind her.
It was Raven.
"Hicanyoudomeafavor?" Raven asked quickly.
The girl took time to register this in her head. "Sure."
"Thanks." Raven pulled off her cloak and gave it to the girl. "Can I borrow this?" the telepath inquired pointing to the basketball.
The girl nodded her head and Raven grasped it into her hands and ran. Raven ran and bounced the basketball. "Hey guys," she called out to the young men. "Care to play some B-ball?"
The men smiled and joined Raven in the game. Jinx and Mad Mod ran through the crowd of the basketball-playing seniors to see Raven bouncing the basketball and swerving it around her body to prevent it from being stolen. Mod and Jinx tried to get through but the seniors seemed to be bumping into them and keeping them from Raven. So the dark girl ran past the two villains and the seniors followed—trampling Jinx and Mad Mod. Then Raven, seeing her plan was accomplished leaped into the air and slam-dunked the orange ball into the hoop. The men cheered her on.
"Thanks for the fun but I really have to go." Then she ran off to the girl with her cloak. "Thanks." Raven exchanged the cloak with the basketball.
"No problem." the girl replied.
Raven stroked her chin in thought before pointing to the girl. "What's your name?"
"Raven." the girl responded.
The telepath blinked twice. "Really? That's really cool." she shook Raven's hand. "Well thanks for helping me out Raven."
The girl named Raven just smiled. "What else could I do? You're my favorite Titan."
"I'm flattered," Raven put her cloak on. "Thanks again Raven. Oh and by the way, nice name." she flashed Raven a small grin and ran off.
"Cool..." Raven thought out loud. She met her favorite Teen Titan. Raven looked behind her to see Jinx and Mad Mod running after her Titan friend. 'Oh no they don't.' Raven thought, as she rolled her basketball onto the floor and watched it trip Jinx.
"Ow!" Jinx rubbed her sore bottom. Mad Mod just looked at her and shook his wrinkly head.
Out of the gym, and free for the moment, Raven (the Teen Titan of course) took a short break near the vending machines. Another girl walked up to the vending machine looking at the floor while putting her change in the machine for a snack. The girl wanted Oreos but she was a nickel short. "Man." she mumbled and aimed for the change return button and pressed it. It was broken so it couldn't return her money. The girl inwardly cursed and looked up. In the corner of her eye, she saw a person leaning on the side of the vending machine. A blue cloak? "Hello?" she called out.
Then the blue cloak jumped. "Did I scare you?" the girl asked.
The cloak responded. "I don't do fear." Then the cloak turned around to reveal Raven.
"You're Raven from the Teen Titans?! I'm Draikitha!" she practically screamed out of excitement. "Well nice to meet you." Raven said. "I see you're short on cash...here." Raven handed Draikitha a nickel. Draikitha thanked Raven and asked her if she wanted anything from the vending machine but Raven declined saying that it was her money and shouldn't be spent on other people just because they're famous. Just then, Raven remembered she had to go.
"Why?" Draikitha asked.
"If you stay here, you might see why. I don't have time to explain. Fancy meeting you though." Raven waved goodbye and raced off. Draikitha was curious and wanted to know why Raven had to leave in such a hurry. As if on queue, Jinx and Mad Mod came out of the gym.
"Hey! Girl! You saw Raven right? Were'd she go?" Jinx seemed to demand the answer more than ask.
Draikitha knew not to mess with the bad guys so she took some time to think. There were two ways to go: left or right. Raven ran left...wait a minute. Draikitha had an idea.
"Didn't she go into the gym?" the clever Draikitha inquired.
"She just came out of the gym!"
"But I thought I saw her go back inside. Just check."
Jinx and Mad Mod looked inside the gym again. Draikitha took the time to take the "Caution: wet floor" sign on the right side of the hallway and switch it to the left. She came back to her normal position just when Jinx and Mod turned around.
"She's not in there!" Jinx screamed. "I know that you're trying to play tricks on me kid!"
Draikitha held up her hands in defeat. "Okay, okay. You caught me! She went that way," she said pointing to the right hallway.
"Thanks." the two villain shouted simultaneously before running through the hallway.
Draikitha counted to herself. '3...2...1!'
Jinx and Mad Mod slipped on the hard wet floor. Draikitha laughed and burst into a mad run to the left hallway and got away. Raven would be proud.
Speaking of Raven, she was running her heart out but stopped when a bell rang. Students burst through the doors and the empty hallways cluttered with students.
'A lunch.' Raven thought. This was her lunch and the other Titans'. 'Thank God.'
Cyborg, Robin, Beast boy, Starfire, June, and Allison; her lunch buddies walked up to a sweaty and panting Raven.
"Raven, why do you look as though your life has been drain by a grimflock?" Starfire innocently inquired.
Raven looked up from the ground with a confused look on her face. "A what?"
Beast boy's eyes widened as he looked at Raven. "Your bleeding." he said, pointing to her lips.
'That must have been from the hits I've received while I was hypnotized.' she thought, wiping the stream of blood running from her lip.
"What's going on Raven? Why were Jinx and Mad Mod chasing you?" Robin inquired.
"And why do you get so much attention from the guys in my art class?" Cyborg asked.
Everyone seemed to stare. Raven felt the lights of the stage beaming on her. Raven felt the arms of a giant octopus squeezing her. She felt the heartbeat of a thousand warriors charging into battle. She felt water of Niagara Falls pouring over her and forcing her to drown.
"Uh..." she shrugged.
They exchanged glances with one another. "Why are they after you?" Robin repeated—this time, more forcefully.
"Detention," Raven sputtered. "It's odd. But I think this whole school thing is a trap. I went into my detention room with Jinx and met Mad Mod there. Then they tried to hypnotize me and I got into several fights with them. Then they practically chased me around the school. Need I say more?"
Robin stroked his chin. "Think they're still around?"
"Duh! They're looking for me!"
"Then let's look for them!" Cyborg cracked his robotic knuckles.
***
"Where'd she go?" Jinx screamed in frustration.
"I don't know." Moddy mumbled.
"Yoohoo." a voice came from behind.
The villains looked up to see Raven floating upside down and holding an evil grin on her lips. "Looking for me?"
Jinx and Mad Mod got ready to fight Raven—her powers returned. Unfortunately for the villains, four shadows dropped in front of them. "I can think of four reasons why you don't want to capture Raven." the fearless leader roared.
Jinx and Mad Mod backed up—obviously surprised—and broke into a run. Robin won't let them get away. "Titans! Chase them!"
The teens obeyed their leader and ran after them. Raven held Cyborg in her arms while flying to catch up with the troublemakers. She eventually got in front of them and dropped Cyborg. Many students looked up from eating their lunch to see what was going on. "Guess who's being chased now?" Cyborg yelled, and stuck out his cannon. Mod and Jinx backed up and bumped into something. They saw Raven towering over them. "Looks like the hunters have become the hunted."
The other Titans soon arrived to take care of the situation. Later Jinx and Mad Mod were locked up in the van that would soon return them to jail. Raven walked up to them and looked inside at them. "Looks like you'll be in detention for a long time."
Jinx scrunched up her face in a way that would make you think she was a rabid animal and screeched in frustration. Mad Mod just cried.
The van soon went off to travel to its next destination. And the Titans stood victorious watching it drive away. "Can we go home? I'm tired of all this stupid school business."
Robin looked over to Raven. "Did you just whine about something?" Robin was surprised. Raven never whined about anything.
Raven sighed. "Sorry. Guess I'm just stressed." 'And I don't want to go to gym class' she added mentally.
The bell rang for third hour. And they all left each other.
::Third Period: Spanish Class::
"Raven! Raven, wake up!" Mrs. Señora commanded.
"I've had a big day." Raven muttered, waking up. She was definitely tired. She wanted to sleep.
She stood awake throughout the entire lecture of AR, ER, and IR ending verbs. After the lecture, she worked with Starfire on the bookwork the class was assigned. It was weird how Starfire could almost speak Spanish better than English, but English was a harder language to speak anyway. "¡Hola, Raven!" Starfire chimed brightly.
"Hola, Starfire."
"¿Qué pasa?" Stafire inquired.
"No sé. Yo me soy cansada." Raven yawned and covered her mouth with her hand. "Did I say it right?"
Starfire just shrugged.
"Whatever."
"Raven, you have to say it in Spanish!" The Tamaranean informed.
"I don't know how to say 'whatever' in Spanish, Starfire."
::PE Class: The horror of all humanity::
Raven groaned as she entered the gym. 'Maybe I should just skip class...nah, boy wonder will get mad at me. Raven we have to keep a positive attitude. Raven, it can't be that bad. Raven, maybe you should try to behave.' she impersonated Robin's sayings to her. 'I'm the one who gathered the Teen Titans. I don't even know why I made him the leader. Oh yeah, I'm not the leader type. All well, Robin is a good leader, but very annoying sometimes.'
Raven walked outside into the bright sunshine. To be greeted by her stupid teacher, Mrs. Woodenburg. "WELCOME BACK TODAY, CLASS! TODAY WE ARE GOING TO PLAY A LITTLE GAME OF VOLLEYBALL! BUT FIRST, WE WILL RUN THE TRACK FOURTEEN TIMES!" Mrs. Woodenburg blew into her whistle and the students ran around the track. Raven was the last to go around because she was already exhausted from running earlier. Unfortunately, her teacher noticed this and came up to the young psychic. "Why are you last to run around the track today?"
Raven shrugged. "You know what I do to the last person who runs around the track right?" The husky woman asked. Raven shook her head—not paying attention or caring to what was being said. "You must do seventy-five push ups. START!" she blew her whistle and Raven got into position and started her push ups while everyone else played volleyball. Oh, how she despised her PE teacher. First, she tells Raven not to use her powers and acts obnoxious all day. On the second day, she whistles right in Raven's ears and hangs her up on the school flagpole. And now, now she is making Raven do push-ups while everyone else has fun playing volleyball. No one even did push ups before for being last on running the track, and she couldn't help if she was tired. Three strikes and you're out. The strikes were made and Raven didn't feel like dealing with this teacher anymore. She was tired, fatigued, her body ached from all the action, and she didn't have time to get anything to eat for lunch. It was a bad day. Raven wasn't going to take this anymore. She was way well at fifty push-ups when she stopped—unable to do anymore unless she wanted to strain herself. Mrs. Woodenburg walked over to Raven. "Why did you stop? You're not done."
Raven just inhaled deeply to calm herself. "I've had a big day. I just need a break, then I'll continue the other twenty-five."
"You'll continue now if you know what's good for you!" she yelled.
Raven stood up and looked at her teacher as if she had a bug crawling out of her nose. Mrs. Woodenburg returned the glare. "Could you not be so mean? I've had a very rough day and I would like to take my time with the push ups."
"I guess you want to be hung on the school flagpole again?" she placed her hands on her hips. Raven smirked and stared at her bulky teacher. "Not a bad idea..."
The school bell rang and all the students looked up again to see Mrs. Woodenburg hanging from the flagpole just like Raven did yesterday. The PE teacher looked mad yet knew there was no way she could get down. Raven (with her normal clothes on) stood in front of the flagpole and looked up at the hanging Mrs. Woodenburg.
Raven smirked and saluted.
'Victory.' she thought.
The rest of the ride home was peaceful and Raven never felt better.
Whew! That's it for chapter 8! Finally, I'm done. That was a pretty long chapter wasn't it? I have returned from my vacation to St. Petersburg, Florida where my grandma lives. I live in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, so it was like a three and a half-hour drive. As we were driving through Alligator Alley, I saw like over twenty alligators. Sadly, my dad couldn't see them because he was driving. Aww, poor Trigon! Yeah, I call my dad that and he has no idea who Trigon is. I also call my mom Arella. During my vacation, we went to the number one dinner show: Arabian Nights! It was really good! You should go there—especially if you like horses. And if you do go, get the VIP tour. It's great. I'm glad that I'm finally home since I missed my computer and my TV and my room and my refrigerator. I really get tired at staying at my grandma's house for a long time. The whole time I was there, I would just listen to my music, read Teen Titans GO!# 1-5 and Teen Titans# 8, 9, draw, and read some fanfiction that I printed out (SuNsHiNe10: Hopelessly Devoted, Demon of the Night: Like lovers Do, Sage of Story: Bring Me to Life, and AND: Knockin' on Raven's Door). I've got an idea, while waiting for me to update; how about you go read those stories. They are made by excellent authors who much surpass the skills of my own. Also look on my favorites list for an idea of great stories made by great people (fireruby, Legendmaker). Draikitha, I will read your Rurouni Kenshin stories when I get a chance. Thanks for being in my story. Raven and SaNgO MiStReSs, thank you also. Lastly, I know that my stories would get in some weird format with the font changing and everything and I'm sorry for that. I tried to fix it to the point where I felt so stressed because even I think it's annoying, and I have no Idea how to fix it. But at least you're reading the story, right? If anyone knows how I could fix this problem, please tell me. Thank you.
More reviews: To tell you the truth, I really didn't want you to review to my author letter because then you couldn't review for my story, but it doesn't matter.

The Sage Of Story: *screams* You are definetely one of the greatest authoresses ever! I was even reading the printed version of your story at my grandma's house.

Starfire: Yes! Very, very nice to see you!
Heh, Starfire and Raven...how can you live without them?

Raven: Hey! Where do you think you're going? *chases Beast boy*
Starfire: I am 1,010% adorable? I have thought that earth percentages do no go above 100%.
That's not necessarily true, Star.
Starfire: Well thank you very much then. You may be as well as 2,020% nice! ^^
Thanks for the review, The Sage of Story!
Draikitha: Alright! Another Floridian! I'm so proud.
Hope you all enjoy this chapter because it took me a while to write. Also, PLEASE read my cousin's fanfiction called: The Kat From Hell! Please, I beg you all. This is her first story. Her author name is CRASH and PETRI. She is PETRI and her friend is CRASH. I know both of them and they can write pretty good. Remember, this is their first story, so please help them where they need it and send them some inspiration and kindness that you have sent me. And be warned, if anyone flames them, (Queen Tigris) you will not only be messing with them, but you'll be messing with me and I don't think anyone wants me angry. I'm scary when I'm angry, and if you don't believe me, ask my cousin! She knows EVERYTHING about me! So get going. What are you reading for? Stop reading this. It's over, done, kaput! Go read The Kat from Hell! Do it now. Hurry!
Raven: Serious issues.
Beast boy: *smiles* I'm cute.
