Saved by the Bell
An hour had gone by and I had nothing. There was just no possible way to say it. Why is it when you want to tell that person, you can't? But you could tell everybody in Gotham and it wouldn't bother you one bit? Things just gotta be so hard.
I threw knacker cracker into my mouth. Those things are good, but sour. I balanced on the back legs of my chair while eating. "Hmmmm." I concentrated more on the candy than what I was really supposed to think about. I knew every time I was going to see Starfire, she was gonna kill me with the nonstop asking when I was gonna ask.
"I'm safe as long as I'm in my room." I said to myself, knowing it would only protect me for only so long. CRACK! "OOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!" I had accidentally popped a jawbreaker into my mouth and crunched it. Yeah, well, my teeth got the crunching. I grabbed my mouth with both hands, holding back tears. Dude, that HURT!
My door flew open and Cyborg walked in. "What was that about?!" he asked, angry. "I thing I boke by teef." I moaned, hands still over my mouth. I swallowed everything in my mouth, not sure if there were any teeth with broken jaw breaker parts.
"Man, I was working on the car. You made me scratch it." He told me. Big deal. He could always fix the car. It would just take a little longer, that's all. "Gee, sorry Cy! Next time when I'm in total pain and misery, I'll make sure to keep the volume down to one." I glared at him. "Is everyone undamaged?"
"Yeah, Star. BB just got his jaw busted by a candy. He'll be fine." Cybrog answered. Starfire walked up to me and took my bag of candy. "These pleasurable tiny balls of sugar must be thrown away." I went to grab them from her, but I was thrown off balance and my chair tipped over backwards. "Ow. No, Star, wait!"
Cyborg just laughed. "Shutup!" I hissed when I passed him out my door. "What are you gonna do to my candy?" I caught up to her because she suddenly stopped. "I am disposing of these sweets. They are preventing you from telling you Jamina!" "No they're not! I'm thinking! It's brain food...my mind is starving." I quickly faked a faint, passing out slowly, landing on the floor in a heap. "Star...fire..." "Beast Boy! What is wrong?! Please? Tell me!" She dropped the bag and knealed next to me.
"I ne..ed..." She looked like she was going to freak out. "Must...have...candy..." She reached for the bag, spilling half the bag out on the floor. Great move, Star... "My mind...it's going blank..." I didn't really want her to shove the candy in my mouth, but at least it was in my mouth and not on the floor. "Thanks. I'm better now. Back to thinking!" I traveled back to my room. Cyborg was still there. He had watched my little show.
"I can't believe she really believed you." I smiled, "It's called talent my friend." "So what was that about you telling Jamina something?" he asked me. I told him me and Starfire's deal. "Oh man, you stepped into something big, huh?" "You're telling me." I replied.
"I just haaaad to explode at her." Cyborg shrugged. "You're a ticking time bomb." What was he talking about? Forget it. I don't have time for this. "You can't just tell her?" Cy brought up. "You can't just tell Raven?" I threw back at him. He stood quiet. "I thought so."
Meow! "Get out!" I picked up shadow and tossed him out. "Don't get angry at Shadow." Why doesn't he see that the cat is a menace? Why??? "I'm not angry at Shadow. He's just always in my room; I don't know why, but he is. "He likes ya. He hisses at everybody else and scratches." "He hisses at me, too." "Did he ever scratch you? Or try to bite you?" I thought about it. "No."
"Yup, maybe cus you're like part every animal? It's something, cus he doesn't hurt you, and every time I see him you're around." I raised my arms. I wasn't about to get buddy-buddy with Shadow. He's Raven's cat. He should hang around her, not me. "Cyborg?" "Yeah?" I scratched my head, "Uh, why did you buy Shadow in the first place?"
I wanted an answer. But for a good ten minutes, all I heard was crickets chirping. "Come on, dude! I'm not gonna email the president telling him you like Raven. I just wanna know the reason." "Well, I...thought it might...you know, help me out. I chose black on purpose. I made sure it was a black cat. An I named it Shadow. It's Raven-like..." He was uncomfortable telling me this, but it was out.
I had never really talked to Cy about him and Raven, his being quiet about it so much, I never thought about bringing it up before. As long as Jamina doesn't know yet, I was always fine. Well, that wasn't going to be the same thing anymore.
"What are you...?" "I am sorry, Jamina. But, I must insist! This is very, very important!" I moved to an angle to see shadows on the wall. Starfire's and Jamina's shadows! "Ohh no! Not now!" Cyborg shifted, "When, then? If you never tell her, you'll never know if she likes you back. Be yourself and take what comes." I looked at him confused. "Dude! You have got to lay off the fortune cookies!" They were getting closer. Jamina was obviously putting up some kinda fight to hold back. I could tell she had something to do.
That was giving me time. "Come on." I pulled Cyborg into my room and shut the door. "Help me block this thing!" Cyborg folded his arms. "You want me to what?" "Duuude!" "Let me out. You hide if you want, but I have tv to watch." "Too late, you should've told me that BEFORE I started." I had already put my chair, tv, and shoved blankets under the door so it wouldn't slide open.
"Beast Boy?!" Starfire's voice projected. I shook my head at Cyborg. But he ignored my pleading and answered, "He's here." "Beast Boy open the door. You must tell Jamina, now!" "Tell me what?! Why can't you tell me Star?!" Jamina was there. "It will be better told by Beast Boy. Believe me, Jamina. It will be a wonderful story to be told." Starfire banged on the door, "Beast Boy, if you do not open this door immediately, I will!"
"She'll what?" I whispered. "Uhh..." Cyborg pointed to my door. "What the...?!" Fingerprints started ingraving into my door. "What are you doing, Starfire?!" I yelled. "I am opening your door!" she answered. My door flew off its hinges and was thrown to the side. "AHHHHH!" I tried to get away, but Star had me by my neck. "What's going on?" Jamina asked Cyborg. "I have nothing to do with this. Don't ask me." he said.
"Tell her!" Starfire put me facing Jamina. I felt so completely stupid, its not even funny. Imagine that happening to you. Yeah, just wrong and nerve racking. Jamina shrugged, "Star claims that you have some important news to tell me?" She folded her hands together, "So, please...to end this," she whispered, looking at Star nervously, "what do you need to tell me?"
I glared at Starfire and then looked at Cyborg to see if he could lend any help or support, but his face was blank. Well, the plunge I guess. "J- Jamina, I....I...so-rta..kinda...well...you..see...I really...uh..." "Tell her!!!" Starfire yelled at me impatently. Leave me alone! I'm trying real hard here! "I'M TRYING!" I yelled back.
I turned to Jamina. Jamina looked scared. I don't blame her. I'd be scared too if my friends were yelling at each other and you didn't know what in the world was going on. I was trying, I really was. It just refused to come out. Not my fault! Great support by the way. Cyborg, a motionless puppet, watching the soap opera that was going on here, and Starfire, my very, very, VERY, did I say very?, impatent friend who started this insanity.
I took a deep breath, "I li-"RING! RING! RING! The alarm! "Titans!" Robin called. Jamina ran with Cyborg right after her. I smiled ear to ear as I passed a very shocked Starfire, "Maybe next time, Star, eh?" We all ran outside to go chase down the dude reeking havoc, but before we left, I looked to the sky and just smiled. "Somebody up there must like me!" I laughed.
Author's note: Personally, I liked this chapter. I mean I like all off them, but I think it's gonna be one off my favorites. There's still a lot more to this story. Good thing you guys like to read. And I hope I haven't disappointed anyone, while writing this fic. Well, like always, I hope you like the story and Review on what you think. Thanks! Later for now!
