Chapter Three: Beast Boy
Five years after the discovery of Garfield's powers, he began school. Victor was already in second grade and was a popular child in school. Garfield looked forward to getting the same reputation. However, he never got it.
No sooner had Garfield walked in the door did the kids start to tease him. First they began calling him Greenie and Green-O and Super-Freak. At recess, a soccer ball got caught in his spiky green hair.
"Darn," a kid remarked. "The ball got caught in the tree ."
Garfield couldn't take it anymore. He transformed into a rhincoerous and attacked the kid. Garfield got in deep trouble for doing this and now that the kids new that he turned into animals, they had a new name for him - Beast Boy.
However, on young Garfield's fourth day of school, he met someone in his class who liked him. His name was Dic Grayson.
When Garfield walked out on to the playground that day, Dic was already out and asked him if he wanted to play soccer with him. Shocked at being accepted and what's more, asked to play a game, he said nothing.
Dic waited patiently. Garfield soon accepted, but he didn't let his guard down because he wasn't sure whether or not he was being mocked. It took him a while to finally realize that he wasn't.
Once recess was almost over, the game ended. Dic and Garfield started to talk for a while and they soon discovered that they were in the same class. They became fast friends.
Although Dic was quite fond of Garfield, he still called him Beast Boy. Garfield wondered why. When he got around to asking him, he said he thought Beast Boy sounded a lot better then Garfield, and Garfield agreed, so from then on he was known as Beast Boy.
