Ch.2: Don't you hate the First Day
I sat in the back of the room trying to hide myself. The class had almost filled up. There were some weird kids in the class; some of them had long scars on there wrists and weird hair. But none of them were as weird as I would be if they found out I was all green and not just his skin. Next to me was Raven she looked just as bored. Mr. Grayson was a cool guy but his teachings on geometry were boring as Victor rambling on about all the hot girls he has numbers of.
In front of me was a kid with blonde almost white hair that was a wild as his icy smooth voice. He had empty blue eyes and wore a black jump suite with knee pads, shoulder pads, and a hidden knife in his back pocket. The kid was called Slade by the teachers and Deathstroke by his friends. I had heard some of them talking to him silently and my ears picked it up. The kid was scary and he kept an ice stare on my through the corner of his eye the entire class.
After the class I walked out and found Raven, Robin, and Kori waiting outside for me. I put my hood higher over my head and as did Raven. We walked over to a table by a tree and began to talk.
"So Gar, tell us about yourself." Robin asked as he kept his eyes on Kori.
"There's not much to say, some people at my old school used to call me Beast Boy because I liked animals." He laughed as he kept his face hidden.
Raven shifted in her seat and gave him an ice glare.
"It isn't nice to lie. What's the other reason?" She said.
Behind the darkness I could see her smile. I already had a bad feeling about her. I gave her a death glare and shook my head.
"There's no other reason."
She could read minds I could tell. She kept that same glare at me the entire time. After the break period she met me in a hallway.
"Show me Beast Boy, I know you have something to hide I read some of your mind."
"I knew you could, there's nothing to show to someone who would just laugh and tell people."
"I would not, you don't now what I would do, or other people would."
"Well most people do laugh and point and make me look like a freak."
"Show me I promise I won't laugh."
I sighed; I might as well start with her. I took of my hood and removed my hat. My green face met her eyes. My short spiky green hair was shinning and my small fang was white and something that would make a person run.
She looked at me carefully and placed her soft hand on my cheek. She smiled and patted my shoulder.
"That's nothing to make fun of, so you're green I think it's kind of cute."
I had brown on my face now from blushing.
"You won't tell any buddy right?" I asked.
"No you're secret is safe with me for now."
"I know it will get out soon, but I have just ever had any good things come from this."
"Its o.k. Gar, why don't we talk some more; you're someone I would like to get to know."
She walked away and I put my hood and cap back on. I smiled underneath and had a though. 'Maybe she likes me'. Then I saw a clock and ran off to my next class, English.
I walked towards the new room and already saw Slade walking in followed by 4 more kids. One was really tall and wore an almost rock like colored shirt and had on black jeans and silver shoes. The next one wore a deep blood red shirt with green hair and eyes. He also had on switched jeans with one side red and the other green almost lime green. Then the other dude wore a white T-shirt with blue lightening and whitish blue hair. His eyes were empty like Slade's and he also wore sky blue jeans. All three of them seemed to huddle around him like dogs. My guess they were his crew.
Then the final one was a girl, she was slim, my height and had long blonde hair. She had crystal eyes and wore a black T-shirt with a yellow T on it. Then she also had on brown short shorts and hiking boots. She seemed to walk hand and hand with Slade her beautiful crystal eyes gazing off and then she saw me. She smiled and waved at me I waved back but caught a death look by the dark master Slade.
"She's almost as hot as Raven." I said to myself.
From behind me I heard giggling and laughing. I turned to see Robin and Starfire walking towards me, there eyes were meeting each others desperately.
"Hey BB guess you have English to?" asked Robin with a smile.
I nodded and took another death hug from the foreign girl.
"Hey do you know who the gang is with that weird kid Slade?"
At the sound of his name Robin cringed he walked up to me and looked me eyes to eye.
"Slade is not some buddy you want to know very well Gar. I am serious watch out for him, he can get you killed. He has done it before. Slade is a murderer, psycho path, and evil. He never smiles and he will have you floating bottom up in a lake soon as you met him. The 3 guys he has as goon go by the name of Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload. There just as evil but there muscle is nothing compared to Slade's. And there brains are peanuts to his."
I shook in my shoes at the sound of Robin's voice, he was not to found of the leader I could tell.
"What about the girl?"
"Her names Terra, I suggest you watch out for her to. Slade's new girlfriend but I doubt they do any talking. She's as evil as he is and I suggest you just keep away from all of them."
I nodded and followed Robin towards the room. Inside there were almost full but there were three back seats we were going to take. But as we went in we heard a chuckle.
"Oh no its,"
"Hello students I am Mr. Jumbo, but you can call me Mumbo Jumbo, welcome to my English 101 class." interrupted a tall man in a magician suit with hat.
He had white gloves and a large nose, his skin was almost blue but it looked like makeup. The guy had a magician's voice and kind freaked me out as well.
"You must be the three new kids' eye? I see, I know you very well 'Robin', this must be the lovely Koriand'r and you my small, hidden, and ugly must be Garfield Logan." He said with a laugh.
I nodded and walked to the back of the class.
"Remove the hat Mr. Logan or I will take it off myself. You may keep the hood but I will make it my best to remove it during class. So keep your eyes on me my very special friend."
"Ya, ya and your mom was clown I get it." I said to myself.
I took the cap off to please the blue buffoon but kept my hood on and made sure it was dark over me. The entire class I saw Terra looking at me with a smile. She couldn't have been all bad, right; but as she looked at me the one called Slade kept his eye on me. His hands crossed over his mouth and his eyes focused secretly on me. The other three thugs were to busy looking at other girl's chests and butts given each other a frequent smile.
I noticed closer up they were all like monsters, big muscle bound and stupid. The kind of hillbilly in breads turned Terminator. I shook my head and focused carefully one the blue beanie watching every move he made. I didn't trust him, and he didn't trust me. He had tried several times to walk by and flip my hood up but I kept it tucked down.
The English class ended and I headed for nutrition. I sat at a table next to Raven, Starfire, Robin and Victor had joined us. We all sat together discussing new teachers. I really didn't say anything. I just kept my mouth shut and listened to the group talk. I was actually kind of tired, so I walked off to my next class. It was inside of a small building but I had to go through a hallway that was deserted.
From out of no where the three goons I saw with Slade circled around me.
"Hey, punk we need to talk to you." said the one I recognized as Cinderblock.
He had a rocky voice and didn't seem to know English very well.
"What do you want?" I asked softly not trying to sound rude.
These guys looked strong enough to kill me with a punch but I knew they were smarted than that. The one called Plasmus talked next, his voice harsh and raspy probably from yelling to loud.
"Our boss wants us to give you a message."
Next thing I know the Over load dude slammed his fist into my stomach and sent me into a wall. My body shook in pain and I tried to get up. But as I did Cinder block kneed me in the chest. I yelled in agony but was lifted up by the Plasmus guy.
"Let us make it clear to you, stop checking out our bosses' girl, or we will have to put you on the five o'clock news."
With that he slammed his fist across my face and I felt the warm feeling of blood run down it, he must had some sharp knuckles cause he caused a small wound in my cheek below my eye. I slumped to the floor and choked on the air. I heard he three idiots laugh and walk away. I got to my feet and held m chest in pain. I whipped the blood off my face and started to limp off to my next class, history.
"God I hate the first days."
