Scooting into her desk at the same time as the bell rang, Star was quickly surrounded by her friends.
"Dude! You rock!" BB shouted before Raven tried to quiet him for fear of the teacher. There was no need to be concerned. The teacher (same as yesterday) was enthralled watching raindrops slide down the window. He sat in the corner talking to himself as he watched.
After looking at the teacher and confirming his weirdness, Star turned back to BB. "What are you talking about?"
"Dude! Its all over school! How you took on Fang and Kitten! At the same time!"
"That was just now! How did you find out?"
"You mean its true?" everyone gasped.
"Well, yeah," Star shrugged. "Its no big deal."
"You underestimate the power of gossip," Raven muttered.
"Fangs like the biggest bully ever. I wish I was there!" Cyborg said.
"And I hate Kitten," Robin said, grimacing.
Star looked over at Raven who mouthed, "long story"
"Come on give us all the derails!" BB said, unable to contain himself.
"Well, Fang was picking on the other boy so I...."
After Star finished the story, all of her friends mouths were hanging open. She smile, proud of herself. While it hadn't been hard, it was nice people had appreciated her efforts.
"See, we're already an awesome bully-fighting team!" BB said.
"Don't you mean Star is?" Raven asked. "She was the one fighting."
"No...well I know...but she was just the first to find injustice in the halls of high school. Now, we all can go and find other problems and help." BB answered.
"Much as I hate to admit it, this isn't such a bad idea," Raven said slowly to herself. "It would be kinda...cool..."
After everyone got their surprise out of the way, Raven continued. "Oh yeah, my mom helped me put together a few things."
Raven took a small plastic bag out of her backpack. 'How much can she fit in there?' Star thought before looking at what was in the bag.
There were five badly wrapped objects.
"I can't exactly wrap things well yet..." Raven muttered blushing. "But it's the thought that counts. I got 5 things to sort of commemorate to beginning of the Teen Titans."
"Cool," BB and Cyborg said.
"Jinx. Haha you can't talk!" Cyborg laughed.
"At last," Raven said then turning back to her desk. Giving a package to each person, and keeping one for herself, everyone began opening the presents.
Cyborg got a sweat band that was yellow with one green T and one red T. BB found a baseball hat that was in the same colors. Robin got an extra pocket that he could add onto his belt to hold his walkie-talkie. Raven had gotten herself a necklace with a yellow pendant. Star got an embroidered hair ribbon that had the pattern repeated over and over again.
Amid the thanks, Raven was receiving, the bell rang. The teacher didn't even seem to notice when his entire class left, and just kept staring at the window. Shaking their heads, the friends pushed past him.
They had to remain alert through the next class. Unfortunately all teachers weren't clueless. As the teacher droned on, Star felt her hand cramp up again from taking notes. Lunch couldn't come too soon.
When lunch came at last, Star merged with the group of students pushing towards the cafeteria. She had packed her lunch for today, a lesson learned the hard way after eating yesterday's lunch.
As she sat down, she waited for her friends to do the same. They seemed to have developed an immunity to the bad food, something that she, being previously feed on gourmet food prepared by one of the finest chefs, would take a long time in obtaining.
When everyone was finally seated and enjoying an anecdote about BB from Cyborg, the second fight began.
"Well, I hope you're happy," a sharp high pitched voice known as Kitten yelped. "My poor Fangy-poo failed the test."
"Maybe he should have tried something called studying," Star said sarcastically.
"Or learned to read," Raven chimed in.
"Or figured what class he was in," said BB.
"Or even how to spell his name," said Cyborg.
"Or not skip class everyday," Robin finished.
"Well I don't need comments from the peanut gallery, especially you Raven. Heard of something called fashion?"
Star and BB both gripped Raven trying to keep her in the seat.
"5 dollars on Raven," Cyborg whispered.
"Dude! I'm not gonna take a losing bet," BB whispered back.
Kitten ignored all this and continued, "But I am hurt that Robie-poo would side with you. What did she do to you Robie-poo?"
"It more of your face than something she did," Robin calmly answered, and kept eating.
"You're going to pay for that! You're all going to pay!" shrieked Kitten.
"Woah, Deja-vu! Didn't you say the same thing to me this morning?" Star asked. "You really, really, need to learn more catch phrases."
Kitten shrieked again and threw herself at Star. Unfortunately, Star saw it coming a mile away and moved about 2 feet causing Kitten to miss completely. Also unfortunately there was a large trash can where Star and previously been sitting. And a body of motion stays in motion until something stops it so...
"You ruined my outfit!" Kitten shrieked (how can they stand it?) standing up and trying in vain to climb out of the trashcan tipped sideways.
"Awww, poor Kitten-poo. Are the laws of motion against you today?" Raven asked. "Come on guys. I think we're done here."
Amidst cheers from the other students, since no one (except Fang) liked Kitten, the Teen Titans moved to a different table and finished eating.
