Author: Thankx for your comments! Also, thankx for the constructive criticism, DarkPyroPlanet. I'm sorry; I don't think I can change the recess thing now. Besides, for a future chapter I needed a break or some kind of recess. And what could I call a break apart from recess anyway? Keep reviewing! I like to know peoples opinions!!! ï
Chapter 7 Star-ted Secrets
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Starfire was enjoying herself talking to all her friends. Well, actually she was listening instead of talking. Prue already babbled away at 150 kilometres per hour, so anyone else talking, apart from agreeing, was completely unnecessary and impossible seeing as no-one could get a word in edgeways, or in any direction as a matter of fact. Then, very rudely and abruptly, she was pulled out of the group by a hand. When the hand let go of her, she turned around to see a Raven in distress.
"Raven wha-"
"Shut Up and listen!" commanded Raven. Starfire became silent. She could sense her friend's anger and stress.
There was a moment's silence before Raven spoke again.
"Starfire...can you keep a secret?" asked Raven in a quiet voice.
"Why, yes friend Raven" replied Starfire.
"Promise you won't tell anyone what I tell you. Not Prue or any of your other friends. Not Cyborg, not Beast Boy..."
"Robin?" asked Starfire.
"No, not Robin. No-one can know. Can you do that? Can you not tell anyone? Can I trust you?" said Raven.
"Yes, of course!" Starfire whispered "What is it?"
Raven sighed. "Well, you know that guy I sit next to?"
"Correct, yes. Go on."
"Well, I can't stop thinking about him. when I visited my mind through my mirror, there were sapphires on the paths and sapphires growing on the trees and all my emotions were happy..." said Raven. She took a deep breath. She had never said so much at a time before.
"Your problem is?" inquired Starfire.
"Starfire...I think I like him..."
Starfire froze. No wonder Raven had told her not to tell anyone. The Tameranian then realised that it would be hard to keep something, such as Raven's first crush, a secret. Especially seeing as it was Raven, the mysterious goth girl who locked herself in her room, had to meditate to control her powers and never opened up to anyone, not fully anyway... Starfire was in trouble. How could she keep such exciting news a secret?
'I will just pretend I don't know anything about this secret of hers' she thought.
Raven and Starfire walked back to the group of the girls. Raven sat down. Starfire didn't.
"You okay, Star?" asked Prue.
"Yes. I am just going to see where Robin and the others have gone" she replied.
Starfire walked all around the place. She couldn't see them anywhere. She had passed every single group and couldn't find them. Then she saw some people surrounded by trees at the far end of the oval. She sneaked over there. She was about to enter through the trees when she spotted the boys coming out of the trees a bit further along. Starfire quietly sneaked behind them.
"Whoa... dude, why do they have a grudge on us?" asked Beast Boy.
"At least they don't know we've heard what they said and spied on them" murmured Robin.
"Yeah... I don't think we should spy on them again. The girls will notice and then their heads, as well as ours, will be chopped off" said Cyborg.
"What will Raven and I notice?"
The boys froze and turned around.
"H-H-I, S-s-starfire" Robin stuttered.
"Why did you spy on them?" Starfire asked, ever so innocently.
"Um..." Robin started.
"Because we caught them spying on us" Cyborg blurted out. Beast Boy and Robin gave Cy a look that read thank-you-for-saving-all-of-our-lives.
"Oh. I guess that's alright. Just please do not spy on them again" said Starfire.
"Done. As long as you don't tell Raven. She'll kill us. Do you promise to keep this a secret?" asked Cyborg. Starfire didn't question why not to tell Raven. The boys knew Raven would see through their lie.
"I promise that I will." Starfire replied. When Starfire got back to the group of girls, Prue took Starfire around the corner.
"Hey, Star. I really need to tell someone this. Will you keep it a secret?" she asked.
"Yes, of course!" said Starfire. Though in her mind she was very uncertain.
"Well, there's this guy you and I both know and I like him..."
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
By Art, Starfire was exhausted. Her mind was whizzing with lots of secrets. Raven's, the boys', Prue's. Not to mention three of her new friends', Rachel, July and Tina's, secrets which were told over P.E (Putting salt in the pepper shakers and pepper in the salt shakers, Once sneaking into Boys Changing Room and Stealing lunches {especially when they have chocolate} in that order). Plus her own two secrets, her head was spinning. She felt like she was cracking. 'Stay strong, Starfire' thought Starfire.
Starfire painted the T-tower. Subconsciously, Raven painted the paper a sapphire blue. Starfire knew why. The boys just thought she didn't want to bother painting anything in particular. Robin painted a random vase of flowers. Starfire smiled at Robin.
"That's great, Robin!" she exclaimed. Robin smiled at her.
Cyborg was moaning. He was trying to make a clay vase and wasn't succeeding. He was suffering. 'His clay vase looked like a lump of Beast Boy's awful tofu!' thought Robin. Cyborg was thinking the exact same thing.
Beast Boy had made a stuffed toy kitten. He was doing well, to everyone's surprise. Beast Boy walked to Prue and gave her the kitten.
"Thanks" she said giggling.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
In cooking, the girls baked b-e-a-utiful cakes. Raven made a swimming pool cake with jelly on the cake and chocolate fingers surrounded the jelly to keep it in place. Prue made a vanilla cake in the shape of a sunflower with yellow icing. Starfire beat them both. She made a circular cake that was carved so it was a house with open windows and doors and a balcony. It was a chocolate cake with white icing and lots of lollies were on it. Mrs Sukseed said it was so gorgeous she didn't want anyone to eat. But seeing as it was Starfire's cake, she let her take it out to lunch after it was cut into pieces so Prue and Raven could also have a few slices.
