Robin slapped the snooze on his alarm. "Five thirty already?"
He sat up in bed and looked around, and rubbed his eyes. He expected to smell eggs and bacon downstairs cooking on the iron skillet. No fragrance of any kind?
' Wow this is weird,' he thought to himself. His Mom was always up with breakfast ready. He got in the shower, got dressed and walked down the stairs; he called as he went down, "Mom?" No Answer. He jumped down the last few steps and saw all lights off, no sign of anyone at all. ' Hmmmmm...guess dad has today off. He is usually up eating by now' Robin continued to get ready; he ate a bowl of Choco-Crispies and headed to the bathroom upstairs. He brushed his teeth, grabbed his bag and headed out the door. He walked down the street around the corner and up to the big sign that read 'Streemington Middle'. He saw a girl he recognized from English class. He walked over determined to find out why no one was at school today. "Hey, why do you have a backpack?" The girl asked, slightly giggling. "Well I was planning on going to school, but there must be some holiday I don't know about, being I am the only one here with a bag."
She giggled again.
"What is so funny?" Robin asked puzzled.
"Well I didn't expect to see somebody going to school on a Saturday..." The girl replied holding back laughs.
"IT'S SATURADY? AWWW MAN," Robin was feeling stupid coming to school on the weekend, "why are you here then?"
"I come here to think."
Robin looked shocked; "You get up this early to come here to think?"
"Yeah, so?" She was really like to sit and think on Saturday mornings of all the things that happened that week.
Robin decided it was no use. "Well I guess there is nothing wrong with that," Robin lied. "Do you mind if I hang around? I couldn't sleep if I tried."
"Sure, I guess. My friend is meeting me here soon, I will introduce you to her."
"Ok, but are you in Mrs.Clarke's English class?" Robin asked wondering if it was her.
"Yeah, why?"
"I'm in her class to, I knew I recognized you from some were. Starfire right?"
"Well, just call me Star."
"By the way my I'm Robin."
"That's a nice name."
"Uh, ya I guess."
Starfire turned to see a girl walking down the street.
"Oh look! It's Rae!" Starfire waved enthusiastically.
"Hey Star!" She said as she waved back.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Rae I would like to introduce you to my new friend, Robin. Robin, meet Rae. Rae meet Robin."
"Hey." They both said in unison.
Robin didn't really know what to say so he asked, "So, is Rae short for anything?"
"Yeah, it stands for Raven."
"Oh, ok." Robin replied.
"Well, since you people have met now, you guys wanna head to the mall?"
"Sure." Raven said.
"Well, I don't know you too well, but I guess. Wait just a sec." Robin pulled out his flip-phone and punched in some numbers.
"Hey Mom," Robin said into the phone.
"You want to know were I am? I am at school with some friends. I was wondering if I could go over to the mall. Ok, bye." He hung up.
"I can go."
"Good let's go," replied Star.
"I have to stop by my house, put up my book bag."
Raven just now noticed, "Why do you have your book-bag anyway?"
Starfire laughed, "I'll tell you later Rae."
"Ok." Ray replied dryly.
9:00AM Exiting Mall
"That was fun." Starfire announced.
"Yeah, it was." Raven replied.
"I wanted to go to the arcade..." Robin said grumpily.
"Well at least we had fun." Starfire replied laughing.
"Well I am calling Cy and BB." Robin said
"Who are they?" Rae asked.
"Oh just my friends." Robin replied.
"I guess I'll see yall later." Robin announced
"Bye, see ya in English class." Starfire replied.
"Bye." Raven said.
