Author's Note: Thankx so much for the great advice and reviewz. There may be some romance in the air in this chapter... though this romance comes after misery and despair. May-Lin does something (no nothing wrong. Something sad)

Chapter 11: The upcoming performance!

muahahahahahahhahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhahhahhahhaha

In the morning, a very cranky Raven got up. She had meditated for the last fourteen hours and her emotions were still out of control. She was feeling three emotions and strongly about each. Angry (with Beast Boy of course), confused that she of all people had a secret admirer and shocked because she never thought she'd have one and did not expect it. She carefully braided her hair as she thought over what had happened the day before. The book was on her desk. She put in her bag. As she did, she saw a blue hair in the book. She observed it and smiled to herself.

'I have a sneaking suspicion on who gave me this but why did he?' she thought.

At school she had brightened up a bit but an announcement in Writing made her groan.

"Hello, class!" chirped Ms Stevenson "I have an announcement to all you girls! The boys have already found out and are very excited. You see..."she paused and watched every single student.

'Grr... I hate how she likes to leave suspense. I hate waiting and cliffhangers and suspense.' Raven growled in her mind.

"There's a performance coming up!!!" Ms Stevenson bounced up and down and acted like a five year old on his birthday.

"So? What's so special?" Raven snapped.

"Well I get to choose someone to read his or her poem at the performance! There will also be many other things such as a ballet routine which they shall learn today and..." Ms Stevenson started.

Raven tried to stop herself from turning into the giant-red- powerful-scary-angry-Raven.

"...and also some people have asked to do skits. Some of the students doing skits have already shown the principal and he's approved. He especially is pleased of a certain coloured teen titan's skit. Plus, afterwards, us year nine's get to all go to that posh, french five star restaurant at the other side of town!!!" Ms Stevenson went on and on and on as joyously as she had ever been.

'Oh great!!! Just BLANKETY perfect!' thought Raven.

"Hello Sapphire" Raven said at Math.

"..."

"Why did you give me this book?"

"how do you know I'm your secret admirer?" asked Sapphire

"A:) I found a blue hair in the book and you are the only person with blue hair. I don't even have blue hair! It's purple. B:) I never told you it was a secret admirer gift so you would only know that if you were him. Now, why did you give me this book?"

"..."

"You don't have to tell me. I just wanna know whether someone was trying to prank me or not.

"noit'snotaprank. ireallyreallylikeyou" he whispered very quietly, softly and quickly.

Raven decided to change the subject. She was already blushing. He may have said it really, really quietly but she had a good sense of hearing and heard him say 'no it's not a prank. I really, really like you'.

"Umm... may I ask you a question?" she asked.

"Depends what it's about" he replied.

"Can I ask a question about...about...about...about your parents?"

He paused before replying "Shoot"

"How did your parents die?"

"Raven, there's something I need to tell you there. I have powers and I can control them. Unless I'm angry. One Winter, I came home from school and my parents were yelling at me. I don't remember why. Anyway, I got really angry and my powers..." he stopped

"Go on" Raven ushered.

"No. Not unless you promise to think of me the way you do know"

"What makes you think I'll change my mind?"

"Well, you see..." Sapphire continued.

"Yes..."

"My powers destroyed them both. They are dead because...because of me..."

Sapphire turned away, stood up and walked out of the room heading to the Boys' bathroom. Raven decided she would not give pursuit in asking him more questions on his parents and powers.

"Where's Prue?" Beast Boy asked worriedly at recess. He saw her at Math but couldn't see her now, outside.

"I dunno BB. I thought you hated her" Cyborg said.

"I never did..." Beast Boy murmured.

Beast Boy saw Raven and Starfire, without May-Lin.

"Dudes-I mean-Dudettes, have you seen Prue?" Beast Boy asked anxiously.

"Yeah, she went into the girls' bathroom down the corridor, y'know the one which is a private bathroom with one cubicle and only one person allowed in at a time. Though I don't know why on earth she brought her bag into there" replied a rather confused Raven.

Beast Boy rushed inside the school and down the corridor and stopped at the door of the girls' bathroom. He knocked on the door.

"Prue?" he called. No answer.

"May-Lin?" he called. No answer.

"Look, if you don't reply, I'll knock the door down!" Beast Boy was panicking that she wasn't answering. Again, no answer.

"Fine. I'm knocking it down!" Beast Boy said.

He turned into a bull, took a few steps back and charged. He hit the door with all his might. The door cracked and broke into millions of splinters of wood. He saw May-Lin's unconscious shape over the sink. There was blood all over the place and a knife was on the floor.

"Oh no! May-Lin! You didn't!!!" Beast Boy cried he rushed over to her side, avoiding the knife.

He turned her to face him. She had. She'd slit her wrists.

"No! Why'd you do this again! Did I do something wrong? I am so stupid!!!" Beast Boy cried.

May-Lin woke up for a second.

"It's not because of you... it's my fault not yours..." she murmured. She passed out again. She was dying.

Beast Boy quickly grabbed May-Lin's bag.

"C'mon where is it? Every girl has one! Where is it!?!" Beast Boy panicked.

He found it. He found her mobile. He dialed 000.

"Hey, I need an ambulance at Enwalls Senior School... I don't care that you are busy!!! Someone's just committed suicide, so get your fat asses down here...thanks...okay...tried in the girls' bathroom...I was looking for her... I had a present to give her...she slit her wrists with a kitchen knife...ya huh...okay...thanks for sending and ambulance!" Beast Boy answered the hospital's receptionist.

Beast Boy hung up and rushed out of the room looking for more help. He saw Miss Marie, Ms Stevenson and Mr Hendgely the principal, having a meeting in Miss Marie's classroom

"Teachers!!! I know I shouldn't interrupt your meeting about who-knows-what but Prue or May-Lin, whatever you call her, SHE'S JUST TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE BY SLITTING HER WRISTS!!!"

The teachers jumped up immediately and they all rushed back to the bathroom.

"Call an ambulance!!!" shouted Mr Hendgely.

"I've done that sir!!!" panicked poor Beast Boy.

"GOOD!!!" Mr Hendgely replied, shocked this happened again.

Miss Marie started attempting to bandage her with toilet paper when the ambulance arrived. All the students from every grade were following the nurses and doctors (including the other titans).

"What's going on?"

"Who's hurt?"

"What's happened?"

"Who did this?"

People whispered and asked each other.

When the front row of people saw Prue with Beast Boy crying over her, someone screamed:

"Beast Boy killed Prue!!!"

"No, he didn't!" shouted Mr Hendgely "He found May-Lin after she tried to commit suicide!!!"

Everyone was silent. The doctors moved in and started bandaging May-Lin's wrists and putting her on a stretcher. As her limp, near dead body passed, most girls fainted including Starfire.

"She's...she's cut herself...oi...ah" Starfire hyperventilated before fainting. Robin caught her.

"Come boy" a nurse asked gently as she beckoned to Beast Boy to come with them into the ambulance back to the hospital. Mr Hendgely came too.

"Ms Stevenson...fill in for me while I'm gone" the principal said as he and Beast Boy shut the ambulance doors.
