Hey guys. I'm going to skip the really long intro and get straight to the story but there is one thing that is very important. This story takes place two months later okay? That and I would like to have at least ten reveiws before I update again. Thanks

Raven tied her gym shoes on tightly then stood up. A few of the girl's were staring at her but looked away quickly. A few kids had arrived just for the semester and they always stared at her
"Alright girls let's get going." the gym teacher barked. The girls lined up on the track and stared jogging to warm up. Raven sighed to herself. When she got back to Titan's Tower she would be able to beat Cyborg with one hand tied behind her back
"Hey Raven Goth."
"Where's your broomstick witch?" Raven burned at the two comments but ignored the girls but they followed her
"We shouldn't get too close she might turn us into frogs." a third girl said laughing. Raven picked up her speed then heard another pair of footsteps
"Lay off." Gar said sharply. The girls rolled their eyes and dropped back. Raven refused to meet the boy's eyes. Hot tears were already threatening to spill over. She would calm down and go mediate after gym class. She was thankful it was Friday and gym was the last class.
Raven slipped her coins into the soda machine and waited as the can rumbled into the slot. She took it out then went to sit down with the others
"So remind me again why they're planning this stupid dance?" Terra was saying blowing water out of a straw at Virgle who started batting her in the head with his straw
"From what I hear a lot of people are excited about it. And I can't say I'm not one of them." Gar admitted. Raven sighed to herself. It had been almost a month since she seen him without the holorings and she was getting sick of 'normal' Beast Boy. His green skin and hair were rather handsome in her opinion and his small fang was added to it. 'Hold on, did I just think that Beast Boy was handsome?' Raven asked herself in amazement
"Hello Raven how are you on this wonderful day?" Richie asked. Raven groaned and they all laughed
"I can't wait until Fall Break." Raven said resting her head on the table. Virgle patted her on the back
"It's not that bad Rae."
"My name is Raven and if you touch me again you won't live to see Fall Break." her voice was muffled by the table and it sounded pretty odd. Everyone burst out laughing
"I wouldn't laugh. I am not in a good mood at the moment." Gar rested one hand on her shoulder
"Forget it Rae, they're to wrapped up with everything else that they can't see anything but their own… something." Raven and the others stared at him and he shrugged
"Next time think out the whole sentence before you say it." Terra advised. Gar glared at her but she just smiled
"And you might want to take your hand off of Raven." Virgle said teasingly "Not that she seems to mind it."
"Keep talking and you could always take a trip through the paper shredder." Raven said narrowing her eyes. They all laughed
"Good one Raven." Gar laughed
"I wasn't joking." Raven replied. Virgle and Richie soon left to do some guy stuff and Terra headed to the bookstore to look for a book Raven had recommended to her. Gar contented himself with working on a math assignment while Raven opened a thick book and started to read. Suddenly someone flipped it out of her hands
"Oops how clumsy of me." a male voice said mockingly. Gar turned to tell the guys off but he froze in fear. He knew that face. It had laughed at him to many times to count. Raven was picking her book back up and trying to regain her place
"So Gar, what are you doing hanging out with Gothika here?" the boy smiled and Gar clenched his hands into fists to hide the fact that they were trembling from fear mixed with anger
"Take it back." he growled
"Take what back?"
"What you said about Raven." the boy laughed and so did his friends. Raven looked really upset and Gar was getting angrier by the second
"Why should I when it's true?" there was a soft choking sound and Gar saw tears rolling down Raven's pale cheeks
"Take it back." Gar demanded
"Oh so you've got to protect your Goth girlfriend?" Gar had it. He put an arm around Raven and picked up their bags and steered her away trying not to listen to the jeering from behind him (betcha thought he was going to fight them right?) He and Raven walked through the park towards a large oak tree that they would sit under to do homework or practice for drama class. Raven sat down and started crying softly
"Raven, it's okay. That guy was totally out of line." Gar said sitting next to her and trying to calm her down. After a moment the tears stopped and she started hiccupping very softly
"Y-you don't think I'm G-Gothic do you?" she asked looking up at him. He smiled and shook his head
"No Rae, I don't. Sure you're different but that's what makes you… well Raven." the girl smiled and leaned again the tree trunk
"T-thanks Beast Boy." she said softly. Gar leaned back next to her
"No problem." they both sat in silence for a long time until Gar spoke
"Would you mind giving me a hand with this math homework?" Raven smiled and pulled the book out and got into a comfortable position. She went over the problem a few times while Gar listened carefully finally understanding the assignment
"Math is easy, all you have to do is figure out a way to make it make sense to you." she said after a moment. She looked up and met Gar's emerald eyes. Her heart fluttered for a moment. His hand reached out and brushed a stray strand of hair. He waited for Raven to push him away but she never moved. He traced her cheek gently
"Beast Boy, what are you doing?" she asked softly. He pulled his hand away slowly still not taking his eyes from hers
"Rae, can I ask you a question?"
"I guess I owe you one." she replied softly. The very edges of his mouth turned up slightly
"What do you think about me?" Raven looked down for a moment lost for words. Beast Boy was her friend, her best friend but did she really want him to be more than that? She covered one hand gently
"I told you BB, you are my best friend on the Titans." Raven knew if he wasn't wearing the holorings his ears would have drooped
"So that's all?" Raven shook her head then looked down. Her powers wanted to probe the boy's mind and find out what he was thinking but she stopped. She wanted this to be as normal as possible
"I think I like you." a bright blush stood out against her pale skin and a faint breeze ruffled her hair. He leaned closer to her and hesitated. Raven finally closed the space between them. Every part of her body tingled as their lips met. Beast Boy slid one hand behind her head and pulled her closer to him. After a long time they broke away and stared at each other. Then Gar started to chuckle and Raven smiled
"Hey Rae, would you like to come to the dance with me?" he asked nervously. Raven smiled wider
"I thought you'd never ask." she kissed him lightly on the cheek then got to her feet and started gathering her things up. Gar jumped up and helped her then they headed towards the student lounge
"I'll see you around I need to talk with Terra." Raven said walking into the room and heading over to the blonde girl. Gar simply floated over to a bean bag chair where Virgle and Richie were talking then he collapsed into it with a happy sigh. The other boys looked at him for a minute
"Okay dude what's up? You look like you've been smoking something either that or you're drunk." Richie said knocking the changeling on the head with his knuckles
"Cut it out. I'm just happy."
"Would it be dangerous to ask why?" Virgle teased. Gar rolled his eyes then sat up in the bean bag
"Raven and I are going to the dance." he said slowly
"Awesome. Knuckle head here still has to ask Terra." Richie said jabbing a thumb at the other boy. Virgle scowled at him
"I don't see you having anyone to go with." he snapped
"I'm just going for the food remember?" Gar burst out laughing at the two. Someone cleared his throat behind him and he turned around. Terra was standing over him with Raven
"We're heading to the mall to go shopping for the dance. If anyone asks tell them okay?" the three nodded then the two girls took off.
