Chapter. 5 Dear friends and falling

Robin looked over at her. She ate her pizza, and sucked on her straw in her sprite, finishing it off. She stood up and put her purse over her shoulder. She went trough it soon to get another dollar. Then she picked up her trash, waved good bye to her "friends" and left. She threw away her trash, and headed for the vending machine by the soda machine. She put a dollar in and got two recess pieces cups. She opened the doors and left. Robin finished off his root beer, said goodbye and left his friends with the empty can.

Robin walked through the doors; he noticed a little store across the hall. It had writing materials. He went in and bought a pen, some paper, stamps, and some envelopes.

He walked out and noticed Star was sitting on one of the stairs, going through her cell phone. She sighed; she was adding four more boys' numbers to her phonebook, more boys who wanted her. A long strand of red hair fell in her way; she took it and put it up behind her ear. Robin walked up to her.

"Hey, for back there, Star. I wanted to say Thank You." He smiled down at her.

She looked up at Robin as he was shocked by her eyes. Pure green full of lime sparkles, but on the outside of the color was more bright green. The essence in her eyes made her look innocent and caring. Robin was speechless staring at her for a moment. She put away her cell and stood up, brushing her purple plaid skirt down. "You are very welcome…err…. MCR?" She looked at the logo on the front of his hoodie. "Please, MCR, for that how did you know my name?"

Robin laughed, "Oh, sorry. My real name is Robin. MCR is just a band I appreciate, and like. It's My Chemical Romance, but I am not a huge fan of them, and I am not Goth like them. I learned your name from my new room mates."

"Oh, that is nice. But please, what is a band?"

Robin was shocked, "It is a group of band members with many musical talents that play and rock together."

"Oh, I call them groups really. But I do not know what this has to do with a "rock"… Where I come from we call these "bands" norkins- err… never mind." She blushed.

Robin laughed a bit confused, "Well thank you anyway, and if you need any help, I'll scream cause one of your friends is choking me. I will help you and you will help me. Right?"

She does not laugh, "I will make sure he will not cause any harm on you, new friend!" She hugged him as he blushed. He pulled on his hoodie's collar for air. Robin could smell her luscious lavender scent; it made his blood turn to jelly.

She let go and smiled at him, she grabbed the marble railing to the stairs and walked upwards, leaving a standing still Robin. He turned back around to look at her as she walked off. He pulled his hood over his head to hide. He tucked his hands in his pockets, bowed his head mysteriously, and traveled up the marble stairs and halls back to his room.

Again, he looked beyond the night; he breathed in and out, his breath whispered with the wind out towards the ocean. He grabbed a pen and a piece of paper.

Dear Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy,

Well, I am here. Firefly Boarding School. It's quite not bad, but hanging out with you guys at the lake is much better. Some strange monster attacked our car down by Pier 41, but surprisingly I took good care of him. My friends so far here are just two of my roommates. X, but his real name is Jason Todd. And another that looks like me, he's Speedy. They're cool, but you guys are the best!

Robin stopped writing and thought, I can't write down about Star… yet. Raven might get angry.

And I met a nice decent girl who is my friend too. But ever since I got here, rich crappy jocks, kittens, cheerleaders, and other people make fun of me. I shake them all off anyway. But I wonder who the master is of this whole school. Oh well. Please write back, miss ya guys!

Robin.

Robin gazed out again as he licked the envelope closed. He went over to his room's door and opened it. On the side was a little mail box attached to the wall. Robin slipped it in and left back for the balcony. He looked over for the other and saw the person. Robin soon was shocked and he panicked. The person has stepped onto the rails edge. Robin ran to his black bag quick and ripped off hooks off his baggy pants. Robin found some rope in the bag, it must have accidentally got thrown into there, but it was long enough.

Robin tied the hooks and ropes together, leaving the biggest and sharpest hook on the end. He ran back onto that balcony. He saw that the person was still standing tall. Robin swung the rope on the farthest part of the wall the hook can grab. He swung and started to climb up to the top of the wall. He landed on a ledge of the wall. He flipped backwards onto the roof. He ran as fast as he could across the building to the girl's dorm side. He made it.

Robin looked over the edge; the room down was quite far, 305. Same length across to the boy's dorm. It was very dark on the person's balcony, not even an outside light… why?

Robin gulped and dove as he jumped for its balcony. He landed on his knees and tumbled forward rolling until he got his grip on his feet. He stood up straight.

"WAIT!" He yelled throwing out a hand. The person turned towards him. Robin was shocked by its eyes. They glowed a blazing green blinding light! It shook its head at him. Robin and the person could hear sirens going off into the city. Robin looked at its glowing eyes once again. He could not see any other color or pupils, its eyes sparkled. Robin took a step forward to the shadow with green eyes. It stepped back an inch on the rail and put a halt hand up. It spreaded its arms out as it leaned backwards.

"NO!" Robin yelled. It fell backwards off the building, falling. Robin leaned over the rail with a hand out.

It almost hit the ocean and rocks, but it suddenly flipped its body over, making its face almost hit the surface. It was about to hit the ocean as it was an inch away. But it flew forward, speeding; making waves with a green light following it. It flew fast to the island, past it, then into the city. Robin was shocked. He took a few steps back into the shadows. He hooked himself to the ceiling part that hovered over an inch of the balcony in front of the doors. He waited…

Thirty minutes later, he watched the city still, then there was a bright green blaze of light that reflected a bit on some of the buildings windows, and the clouds above. Five minutes have past, the screaming was over, the sirens were over, and the light.

Robin looked at the ocean. The green light was coming back making waves. It flew up and around to the clouds. Then it made its way for the balcony. It landed with glowing green fists. The fists gave a light onto its body. It wore a beanie old rag hat. A scarf was wrapped around its lips and head, along with its neck. It wore smoggy old grey baggy overalls, and a thick heavy sweater under the straps. A disguise of course. This… thing… doesn't want to be seen, or known… Robin looked down at its shoes. It wore purple shiny boots. Not much help, none of it is… The green bolts faded into its dark blue mittens. It stepped forward but Robin startled the being as he flipped out of the shadows, like a batman. It screamed and muffled a bit as it fell back and tripped over the ends of its overalls. Robin took a few steps towards the mysterious person. It jumped into the air frightened and floated. Whenever Robin took a step forward, it flew back a foot more. Now it was out in the open, 3 feet away from the rail.

"Please, come here." Robin leaned on the rail with a hand out.

It hesitated and shook its head a bit as it blushed.

"I'm not going to hurt you… I promise… I am not like that. I know you might be afraid of me, but I won't."

It shook and bowed its head. But a bolt glowed on one finger as it held it up. It turned around and wrote on bare air. "Kori of Tammeran". Kori faced him again and flew out of the way so Robin could read it. He didn't understand. He was now standing on the rails with his hand out again. It shook its head flying more away. Now Robin didn't notice that he couldn't go any farther. Robin slipped off the edge.

Robin screamed as he fell, the world felt slow around him as his life flashed in his eyes, he shut them tight.

It jumped in shock and shook its head looking at Robin fall. It thought… Oh…. What should I do? Save Robin? But what if he finds out what I am? I must….

Robin's eyes shook open to find his hand in Kori's hand. Kori flew him back to his own balcony and flew off to its. Robin couldn't see it well again. It threw off its clothes and ran in.

Robin sat there dumb and shocked. He went inside to find X and Speedy asleep. Weirdly X was sleeping on the big black chair in the corner of the room with a lamp shade over his head. Robin climbed to the top of his bunk and fell asleep. But what Robin or Kori did not know, was that there had been hidden cameras hooked up everywhere, watching their every action like move.
