"People don't bore me. I like people."
"Really? All of them? Even the creepy ones?"
"Nobody is creepy on the inside. Some of them are hurt, some of them are sad, and some of them think they're the only real thing in the whole world. But they're not creepy"

CHAPTER TWO: THINGS YOU JUST DO WHEN YOU'RE BORED
"Dude! That so got me points!" shouted Beast Boy
"Nuh-uh, man! Nearly decapitating the opposition does not count as a bonus!" replied Cyborg
"Well it should! I'm changing the rules!" said Beast Boy running out
"You get back here!"Shouted Cyborg running after him.
The door to the living room opened and Raven was trampled by the boys as they ran out of the room.
"Raven? Are you okay?"
Instead of Cyborg or Beast Boy she looked up into the masked eyes of Robin
"I'm just peachy, wonder boy" she said sarcastically,
Her hood had fallen backwards, her pale greyish skin devoid of any flaws, her cute slightly upturned nose was wrinkled in disapproval as she looked at Cyborg and Beast Boy's retreating forms at the end of the hall. Her amethyst eyes narrowed slightly and her eyebrows furrowed in a small scowl, her short dark purple hair was adorably mussed.
"cute." Thought Robin as he helped her onto her feet "I wonder why she doesn't date"
Raven absent minded raked a hand through her hair as it settled back into place.
She seemed to be thinking of something and walked straight past him in a little world of her own.
"I wonder what she thinks about to be able to look like that" he thought,
Robin walked into the kitchen area where Raven was rooting through her shelf in one of the cupboards.
"Why are they all still here?" she thought sullenly, she had been looking forward to being able to meditate indoors without being disturbed, maybe even play a little music while she read her book (which now had a tea stain on the cover!) or see if there was anything she would like on TV ("I've never controlled the idiot box before" she thought ambitiously). She looked for an herbal tea that wouldn't take too long to make as her last one was ruined, shifting through the boxes she saw a box of pocky hidden behind two boxes at the very back.
Robin couldn't find his pocky.
He was looking in his cupboard but couldn't find it
"Dammit!" he muttered, "I hadn't even gotten to open it"
"Open what? Friend Robin?" Asked Starfire, she floated beside him and looked inside the cupboard too
"I got some pocky the other day and now I can't find it" he said
"It's over here" said Raven over her shoulder,
"'Pock-ee'?"Repeated Starfire in confusion
"It's a kind of snack" said Raven not looking at her
Starfire smiled
"Ah yes! It is like mustard?"
"Not quite" said Robin giving her his charming half smile
He came up behind Raven and reached into the cupboard, Raven looked at his handsome profile in the corner of her eye and felt something tighten in her stomach, his gloved hand brushed off her own, her emotions flared up suddenly, she shot into the air and hit the top of her head on the shelf.
"sonova!" she shouted, with a burst of black energy all the cupboard doors burst open, one hitting robin square in the face.
"Robin!" exclaimed Starfire rushing over
"Oh Robin, are you injured?"
Raven held her head and looked at the two in shock
"I'm sorry, Robin" she said apologetically, she extended a hand to help him up off the ground. Both Starfire and Raven hauled him up without much effort, Robin shook his head a little and looked Raven
"Um, I hit my head. Sorry again" she mumbled
"Do not feel too guilty, Raven. It was an accident" said Starfire threading her arm with Robin's and leaning her head on his shoulder.
Raven handed him his pocky, he smiled at her
"I'm glad Beast Boy and Cyborg didn't see that" he laughed
A smile stole its way onto Raven's face but quickly disappeared
"I have to meditate"
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…"
Raven sat floating on the roof, in a state of calm that she had to work to achieve
"Hey Raven! Wake up!" called Beast Boy coming onto the roof with Starfire
"We are leaving now for the fair of fun. Hurry or you shall be stuck sitting squashed in the back seat of the car!" smiled Starfire,
"I'm not going" said Raven flatly
"Why? Are you embarrassed that you nearly knocked Robin out cold? Man, I can't believe I missed that" sighed Beast Boy with a wistful smile,
"I don't get embarrassed and I only wish it had been you instead" said Raven dryly,
"Please, Raven. I promise that tonight's festivities will be most enjoyable" said Starfire earnestly
"You can't promise something like that" thought Raven but didn't voice her opinion knowing the tameranian was only trying to be nice.
"No." she said sternly
"Come on, Raven. I'll buy you some cotton candy" said Beast Boy wiggling is eyebrows
"And if you go on some of the rides with me I'll win you a prize"
"As tempting as that sounds the answer is still no" said Raven sarcastically
"Fine!" he snapped "stay home alone and do whatever creepy things you think is so important!"
He stormed off downstairs
"Child" muttered Raven
Starfire flew up and sat floating with Raven
"…. I'm not creepy." Said Raven defensively
Starfire didn't say anything for a few seconds
"We would not enjoy ourselves fully knowing you was at home all alone. We have done something wrong? You do not wish to spend time with us anymore?" said Starfire, her voice innocent and concerned
"You're all making a big deal over nothing. I like to be alone sometimes" said Raven
"'sometimes'" repeated Starfire "but Raven, You are alone quite often."
Raven scowled, though at first one might think Starfire is stupid, she isn't.
"Perhaps you do not have to join us at once. You may come to the fair of fun later?" she said in a compromise.
Raven was quiet as she pulled her hood up over her head
"I'll think about it"
Starfire squealed and began to clap her hands
"Glorious! Now everyone shall be happy and there will be no feeling of ill will towards each other and no mean words like 'creep'" laughed Starfire,
Raven winced, she hated that word.
She saw Cyborg and Beast Boy speed off in the T-car and Robin drive on his motorbike with Starfire sitting on the back, her arms wrapped around his waist as her dark red wine coloured hair streamed out behind her and her face contentedly leaning on the back of his shoulder
Raven's eyes blaze white suddenly
"Well don't they look so fucking happy! Just makes me sick!" she spat viciously and clapped her hands over her mouth
"What happened?" she murmured, shocked andguilty
'Guilty?'
She stalked to the door on the roof and set out for her room
Author's notes: zero reviews, a blow to my ego and a fun pack of gummi bears.
I think this chapter went well. I won't beg, but I won't stop writing, its way too much fun.
