Raven was meditating quietly, enjoying the silence in her room: two hours had passed without interruptions from the others Titans. It was quite a record. Suddendly she heard someone knocking at her door. "It was too beautiful to last" she thought while she was standing up to check out who was bothering her. She opened a little her door and looked who was outside: there were all her team mate, keeping up a bunch of flowers; she tried to hide her raised in surprise eyebrows and asked in her monotone tone of voice:
"What are you doing? What is that bunch for?"
"We hoped you could explain us what this bunch mean..." said B.B. with a smile "it's for you"
"For me? Why you guys bought me a bunch of flowers?"
"WE? We didn't bought anything! It has arrived this morning!"
Raven couldn't control herself and opened her mouth in surprise
"with this note..." Beast Boy ended the phrase showing the white envelope.
Raven's expression of surprise changed in a angry one:
"You.... Read it?"
"So you know who sent ya those!" exclaimed Beast Boy, and started bouncing all around and singing in an irritating tone: "Raven has a boyfriend, Raven has a boyfriend!"
Raven blushed and her anger exploded:
"I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND! I was angry because I don't like people who can't keep their nose in their own affaires!" and slammed the door; at the same time, a light bulb exploded, leaving the Titans in darkness.
"Beast Boy! You have always to act like a monkey?" asked Robin "now Raven is angry and we have to change that bulb again!"
"Come on, guys, I was just kidding around... however, saw the way she slammed her door, I think she really has a boyfriend!"
"I... DON'T... HAVE... A... BOYFRIEND!" shouted Raven, exiting again the room, red in face; but nobody noticed it, because it was too dark.
"So, why are you still here?" asked B.B. with a malign smile.
"First: you're clucking just outside my room and I can't even listen my thoughts; second: give me that envelope! It is mine!" she said, grabbing the envelope from Beast Boy's hands, taking the flowers into her room and slamming again her door. The other tried to stare at the door, surprised.
"I keep thinking she has a boyfriend..." said Beast Boy
The others turned and looked him with the worst expression they could make.
"Well, I'm lucky that looks cannot kill..." said Beast Boy laughing, guessing how they were looking him.
In her room, Raven was trying to calm herself: Beast Boy really drove her mad. Sometimes he was so silly she could hardly believe he was one of the Teen Titans; he always wanted everyone looking him. Why he couldn't just leave her in pace? When she found again her usual mood and her breath slowed to normality, she looked at the flowers she had in her hand: several were ripped, because she had to use strength to take them away from Beast Boy. Luckily, the envelope was intact. She fixed her name wrote on the envelope and had a vision: a boy sitting in the darkness of his room, filling the white spaces of the paper with the ink of the pen and his love. The vision gone like it was arrived, and Raven opened the envelope carefully, curious of what was written in it. The letter was written with black ink, and it contained few lines:
"Dear Raven, I'm not going to bother you with stupid metaphors about yours wonderful eyes, or anything else, because I think that also flowers are a little stupid, but I didn't knew how to present me. I saw you long time ago, when you went in the park with your friends and I fell in love with you since the first moment I saw you. So please, accept those flowers, and, if you liked them, please let me know. I'll send you more letters, but if you mind, just tell me and I'll stop. My address is......"
Raven put down the letter and stared at the wall. A lover! She couldn't believe it. She read again the letter, like it was all a stupid joke and the words had changed to form another meant. No, those were still the same words she had read the first time. Raven moved to her desk, and trashed the letter.
"I have no time for silly lovers now" she said to the letter, like she was apologizing.
"What are you doing? What is that bunch for?"
"We hoped you could explain us what this bunch mean..." said B.B. with a smile "it's for you"
"For me? Why you guys bought me a bunch of flowers?"
