(Me and my friend did the whole movie thing...so now it's back to only me. It'll be more realistic this time...I promise)
The Teen Titans were back in school. It was like nothing had ever happened. The movie crew just packed up and left after making some lame excuse about needed to shot some scenes elsewhere.
"We're never gonna see them again," BB said satisfied.
They Titans separated and went to their respective lockers.
Star kept tugging at her locker. "Why won't this open?" She said to herself.
"Here, let me help," A hand reached around her and pulled on the lock," The door came flying open and struck Star. Crying out, she fell backward and landed on whoever had helped her.
"Star! Are you ok?" Robin came up. "I heard you yell."
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Star tried to stammer out an apology to the boy she had landed on.
"No problem," he said. "All in a days work. I'm called Speedy by the way."
Star giggled, "I'm Star. And this is..."
"Robin," finished Robin. "thanks for helping Star."
He grabbed her books out of her locker and handed them to her. "We'd better go, Cyborg sent me after you because he's tired of waiting."
Star grimaced. Cyborg could not be kept waiting, but just the same, she wanted to thank her rescuer. "I have to go but thank you so much." She said before turning around and following Robin.
Speedy just stood there staring for a while. Snapping out of it, he turned and walked directly into her locker.
"Oww," He said, before closing her locker and walking away.
-------------
Back in Cyborg's car, Cyborg turned to Star. "Where were you?" He demanded. You kept us waiting for two minutes and 26 seconds."
"You got a new watch huh?" Star asked.
"Yup. It has 20 different time zones on it," Cyborg said proudly.
"So, where were you?" Raven asked, trying to stop Cyborg before he began talking about the other features on his watch.
"Oh I couldn't get my locker open. This nice boy named Speedy helped me."
The rest of the Titans besides Robin all turned and stared at Star.
"Speedy? His name was Speedy?" Raven gasped.
"Dude! This is so cool!" BB said.
"What is it? What are you talking about?" Star asked confused.
"Why does everything happen to Star?" Cyborg whined.
"Who is Speedy?" Star asked again.
"Speedy is like the coolest kid ever! Dude, his family are millionaires and he is the most popular kid at the school," BB said quickly.
After Star took a few minutes to process what BB said, since he had said it way faster than Star thought humanly possible, Star asked again, "So what?"
"Dude!" BB stammered. "He barely talks to anyone who isn't one of his close friends. He's never talked to me."
"So he's stuck up?" Star asked.
"I don't think so," Raven said. "He just never talks."
Robin was mysteriously silent (as always).
"What wrong?" Star asked.
"Oh nothing," Robin said quickly. "I just don't see what's so great about Speedy, that's all."
"Robin! You know he's the state cross-country (go cross-country!!!) champion," BB chided. "Surely, you at least appreciate that. That's how he got the nickname of Speedy," BB turned back to Star.
"Well, whatever. So what are we doing today?" Star asked.
"It's my sister's birthday and she's having a whole lot of friends over. My parents gave me extra money to eat out so the house wouldn't be overrun with kids."
"Dude! Let's go to the new burrito place!" BB said, excitedly.
"Aww yeah, that's what I'm talking about," Cyborg said, quickly agreeing. He pulled away from the school with a squeal of tires (my driving teacher wouldn't approve) and they headed off in search of the perfect burrito (a noble quest).
------------------
The next day, Star was at her locker. She aimed a well placed kick at the upper-right corner of her locker and it flew open.
"I see you figured out the technique," a voice said behind her.
Star turned and saw Speedy. "Yup!" she said proudly, then frowned. "It only took two months!"
Speedy stood next to her as she got her books, "So how do you like school so far?" he asked.
"It's cool," Star answered. "At first it was confusing with all the kids, but now I'm used to it."
"I'd offer you a tour, but you seem to know your way around."
"Yea, it's not that hard once you get used to the numbering of the rooms. Who ever heard of putting the room numbers assigned by prime numbers going in every other sequential order (its not as crazy as you'd think...bad experiences)?"
"You mean there is an order?" Speedy gawked at her.
"Yea, see the first number is 2, then 5, then 3, then 7..." Star would have kept listing the room numbers, but Speedy cut her off.
"I'll take your word for it." They both laughed. A bell suddenly rang, making Star jump.
"I'll see you," she said quickly, walking to math.
"Bye," Speedy said, walking in the other direction. He turned to look at her, but she had gone off to class.
-----------
Math class was the same.
"Don't we have final exams?" Star asked, after glancing at her mumbling teacher. "How will we pass?"
"Dude! He gives us a worksheet, with instructions on how to do the problems. It's a breeze." BB answered.
"He even forgot one year and passed out the sheet with the answers on the back." Robin laughed. "We've had him every year that we've been in high school. He's the only qualified teacher."
"Our tax money at work," Raven said dryly.
Star laughed.
"So where were you again this morning?" Cyborg asked.
"Oh I was talking to Speedy again," Star responding, earning the stunned expressions of the other Titans.
"Dude! That's like one step away from becoming, like the ruler of the high school!"
"Come on. He seemed really down to earth," Star said.
"Maybe we can join you," Cyborg said.
"Dude! We could become popular." BB added.
"oh jeesh (I don't wanna offend anyone so its fifties slang for me!)" Raven said.
"Like he'd ever wanna hang out with you," Robin added.
BB laughed, "Dude! He just insulted you!" he said pointing to Cyborg.
"It was a collective you. He was referring to both of us. That means he insulted you too." Cyborg said calmly.
BB processed these words. After 5 minutes he finally burst out "Dude! That's not cool!"
Everyone else laughed at BB's slowness.
"What's going on?" BB asked. "I'm so confused."
"In case you hadn't noticed, we're laughing at you, not with you." Cybrog said smugly.
"We'll see whose laughing," BB said launching himself at Cyborg. As they playfully fought, the conversation wandered. Eventually the bell rang and the Titans left for their next class.
-----------
Lunch had finally come, and not too soon. Star was starved. She grabbed a tray and carefully helped herself to the unidentifiable food. Holding her tray firmly so she wouldn't drop it in the throng of people, she was making her way back to her table when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Surprised, Star turned around and adopted a looser hold on the tray. Someone bumped into her and she dropped the tray over the person who had come up to her. She looked at him stunned, then began to apologize yet again.
"I'm so sorry," Star said to Speedy as she passed him napkins.
Speedy began to laugh, "Well this will teach me to sneak up on you."
Star laughed as well, relieved that he hadn't been mad. "Here, come with me to my table. My friends can help you clean up."
"Well, I was going to invite you to eat with me," Speedy gestured towards a table filled with unknown people. Star recognized some of them from various sports and clubs she had seen practicing but was not overly enthusiastic about leaving her friends.
"But we can go sit with your friends," Speedy said quickly, seeing Star's uncertain face.
She gave him a relieve smile and brought him over to the table. She drew up a chair and introduced him to her friends.
"Everyone this is Speedy. Speedy this is Cyborg, BB, Raven, and you've already met Robin,"
"Dude! This is so cool..." BB began to say before Raven kicked him under the table. "Oww."
"Sup?" Cyborg asked, trying to cover for the socially inept BB.
"Not much," Speedy said and smiled. "So I hear you're all in this club."
"You know about that?" Star asked.
"Yeah. I mean who doesn't know about the defenders of injustice?"
"That's the Teen Titans," Robin said coldly.
"I knew that," Speedy quickly said. "I can see your memorabilia. It's nice."
"Thanks," Raven smiled. "I designed it."
"Really?" Speedy seemed genuinely interested. "That's so cool."
"Hey maybe you'd like to join us this afternoon," Cyborg offered.
"Dude! We could show you what real combat is," BB added.
"You mean, we, as in the rest of us..." Raven said in her signature tone.
"Dude..."
Speedy laughed. "I'd like that," He said.
"Great! See you there!" Star said, after the bell rang announcing the end of lunch.
The Titans were too excited to show off to Speedy that none of them noticed Robin's muttered "Great..."
