I could never have imagined anything like this, four new friends who all trust me so much... They all think I can do it. Only she doesn't... But what do I care? She's an idiot. I hate her. She's the only one I will readily betray...
He smiled at me today... And I'm not making it up; he touched my hand, maybe seeing my reaction? Anyway... It was something like this:
"Hey Beast Boy... What's up?" I smiled at him, and I could feel my skin warm, my pulse quicken. My skin started to lightly perspire. Was I actually nervous?
He stopped in his path, pointed ears twitching with... excitement? He smiled, his cute little fang protruded over his top lip. He seemed paralyzed and he could barely answer me. "H... Hey T... Terra." The stammering was unbelievably cute.
"So... What have you done today?" I asked, tucking my annoyingly long bangs behind my ear. I had lost my clip a few weeks before at the outskirts. Stupid giant scorpions...
He seemed to be either scared or mind blown. "Hello? Beast Boy?" I asked, waving my hand in front of the green changeling's blank stare. I couldn't help it; he was so cute, yet so funny looking. I giggled. That seemed to snap him out of whatever trance he was in.
He scratched the back of his head and smiled, blushing. "Eh... Um... Well... Nothing really. I kinda just woke up..." I checked my watch. Eleven thirty. Late as usual, right on schedule for him too. Though his first alarm went off at eleven – the whole Tower could hear it – Beast Boy was quite a fan of the snooze button.
"Oh... Okay. Um... So... See ya," I said, waving, raising my arm just as he raised his. His hand was on top of mine and he left it there, not like I shook it off. I blushed, probably looking like a tomato. And then he was gone, running off to the kitchen. I had no idea why.
Something was behind me. I turned and saw her. Raven, my arch nemesis... She hated me, almost as much as I hate her. No matter what I did, I couldn't earn her trust... Most likely because of things going on... Like I was fixing to find out.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked, and I could feel this creepy presence in the area. Something not quite... right.
"Um... Well, I think I was talking." Okay. So I was bad at this sort of thing. She was the master of cynicism and me... Well, I was okay with sarcasm and finger pointing, but she had interrogation down pat. I swear, she could be an intelligence officer at like the CIA or something...
She laughed, but it wasn't something you'd want to hear. It literally ran chills down my spine. "Don't think I didn't see you, I did. I know all about your little game..." An arrow pierced my calm front, panic registering in my eyes. She knew about... him? "Flirting isn't wise. Besides, a relationship with him will only lead to your downfall." Now I knew what she meant. She had no clue about what was really going on. But still... As a black something started to appear in the air, I decided I had better go.
"Right. Well, next time I see him with you, I remind myself that you're just a jealous little girl who has no hope of ever being with him. Got it?" I was cold, but I mean, I can't stand her. She thinks she's so much better than me... Where does she even get all that arrogance?
She glared at me, her eyes becoming blank half circles of white. That wasn't a good sign, so I decided to take my leave. I walked to my bedroom door, pressing the open panel and stepping inside. "Have fun pouting!" I called cheerily before shutting the door and locking it. It felt good to bother her, to make her hate me more... And I realized why I was working for him. He could help me get rid of her... for forever...
