Ch.6: Fake Lies

The morning drive was just as life threatening as last time, but this time Victor actually stopped because an old man was going 5 miles an hour down a busy intersection. Victor was kind enough to yell some unkind words at him and give him the all mighty finger!- This time we got to school more than half an hour early. I met Raven at the entrance to the side.

"Hey little Victor has the sting?" she joked as from last night.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." We replied together.

As Victor gave us a confused look he entered the building and sure enough Bumble Bee was waiting for him! I was going to laugh my ass off but when I looked at Raven I remembered the dream. I hoped it was just a bad dream and not a vision. We walked together and chatted about a few things and soon found Robin and Kori talking together at a stairwell.

'When will they ever get together, 2nd day and there already off with there socks and starting on the pants.' I thought and gave a small smile.

'They will you know Robin likes Star, and me and Star did a little girl talk last afternoon and she has the eyes for Richard as well.' came Raven's voice in my mind.

I nodded but then I stopped dead in my tracks, had she just talked to me in my mind! Was I going insane from the dream?

'What dream?'

'Nothing, how are you doing this?'

'I have some mind powers, I read a couple books and studied the ability, sadly enough I can only do it for a short while.'

I nodded again but still had no clue what she meant. We sat next to them and began to talk to them ignoring there obvious cupped hands.

"So what class do you guys have next?" I asked confused.

"I have History with some teacher by the name of Mr. Light. Seems crazy but I might as well go." Robin said casually.

"No way, I got him to!" I smiled.

"Same here." Raven added.

"I believe I have the strange man as well. He sounds very confusing is he teaching American history?" Kori chipped in.

"Ya I think so, no wait I think its world history maybe we can figure out a little bit about your home Kori." I said.

"You may but my home is here now with you my friends!" She smiled as another death defying hug came around my throat.

She had been able to catch all of us in it and I felt like a canned sardine!

"Need air…please!" I yelled out.

"Sorry." She squeaked.

I shook my head with a laugh and began to walk up the stairs to the next class, Raven followed me. I decided not to mention anything about the last sentence of the call fearing of a block-aid of emotions. As we continued up the stairs a blast of cold shook my body. I turned my head and saw Slade coming up behind us. I remembered I was still wearing the same type of clothes as yesterday so I kept myself hidden.

As he passed by us I saw a smile across his face and a whisper in my mind.

"I know, and I will show."

I shivered and walked closer to Raven, so close my hand almost touched hers. I blushed and backed away. We had finally reached the 3rd floor of the main building and walked down a hallway to find Mr. Light's room.

The teacher was almost crazy but not yet. He seemed to be infatuated with light and kept his room at bright colors maximum. He wore a black shirt and pants with white clean shoes. His skin was a tanned white and he had a short black beard. He wore a light bulb like pendent around his neck and had on yellow goggles. His head had messy black hair that made him look like a mad scientist.

"Hello class welcome to the light! My name is Dr. Light you're world history teacher for the year." He said with an actually humorous voice.

I took a seat near the back and found that he said nothing about my cap and sweater over my face. So I did not bring it up. Raven sat next to me and Kori with Richard like a dog to her side came in and took a seat near us as well.

I was surprised Slade hadn't sit in the class only Terra and Overload were but Overload wore a orange S pendent around his neck and I saw that it was a communicator. I suspected Slade was keeping an eye on his girl and me.

Terra seemed more fascinated with me than the class and kept her eyes on me. I kept my eyes away for fear of another alley way lesson. But as Overload was having trouble trying to figure out that monkey's became humans I smile over at Terra and gave her a little wink. I knew it was wrong but hey I wanted her just for Slade's little problem. I looked over to Raven and gave her a smile as well; she didn't see it and kept her eyes on the wacko teacher.

After the class was over I was given a not by some kid. He just gave me a toothy smile and ran off. I looked at the note and smiled.

Dear Garfield,

Today before you go to Baseball tryouts I want you to meet me in the locker house. We can be alone in there sense it is practically abandoned. Don't worry you have 20 minutes between the end of school and the tryouts that more than enough time to tell you what I have to.

Raven

I smiled and kept the smile, it was Raven's handwriting. I decided not to mention it to her just to keep it all away from any peering eyes. I slid the note in my pocket and ran off to my final class and afterwards it would be Drama. I ran off into the the hallways and headed to the door as fast as I could.

Little did Garfield know a pair of eyes was watching him through the darkness keeping track of his every move?

"Boss the kid got the note, we will deal with him." said the rocky voice of Cinderblock.

"Good…very good, you even used your younger brother to give him the note, very clever Cinderblock even for you. Just make sure he gets to the building in time. I want to deal with the boy myself." came a calm cool voice from the shadows.

"Yes sir, understood sir, over and out."

The dark figure disappeared into the shadows with a deep chuckle that echoed through the emptying halls.

I ran up the stairs looking for the room, I couldn't find any of my friends so I had to do it on my own. The class was almost out of sight, it was called AVID I guess it's like a home room but not home room. I finally found the room before the bell rang and took a seat in the back. As usual Raven was waiting for me as Kori as well. I didn't see any Richard or Victor, and no Slade, Terra, or his goons so I took a seat next to Raven and gave her a wide smile.

The teachers hadn't showed up yet so we began to chat but before we could start I heard footsteps coming inside the room. And in came the one person I would never suspect to see. He was tall and strong he wore a deep blue almost purple suit and had on a weird dark purple hat. His eyes were brown and stared into your very soul. He was Mr. Mento, my last school counselor. He must have taken a job here; I spent a lot of time talking to him about getting over me being green. In the end he sort of abandoned me in the school and I had to fend for myself.

"Hello class I am you're new AVID advisory teacher, you can call me Mr. Mento." He said with a soft cheery voice.

The man sat in his seat and began to take roll. When the L's came to the roster he stopped dead in his tracks. He looked up and tried to see green but found none. I kept staring at him through my hood waiting for him to remember me.

"L…L…Logan? Garfield Logan? This has to be a mistake is he in this class?" he gasped.

I raised my hand and smiled.

"Right here teach, remember me?"

He backed away from his desk and walked straight up to me. He looked at me and I could tell he was seeing me through the darkness.

"So we meet again Logan, nice to see you Beast Boy. Hope you have no hard feelings."

"None what so ever I got over the abandoning thing and got use to the torture it was fun after a while."

"Well I am glad we both had some fun then aye Logan."

He smiled and walked back to his seat; when he was far enough away a squeaked 'Prick' so silent I couldn't even hear it. The class went on as normal, nothing really happened but I didn't pay attention didn't really care what the man had to say. Just sat in my seat and waited for the bell to ring.

When it finally did Mento called me over to his desk and we had a little chat.

"You know I didn't mean to abandon you Logan, I had to go, and they let me go. I would have helped you but they kicked me out of the school after to many times with you. They thought something big was about to happen. I would have helped you more but I couldn't. But I see you do have some hidden properties in this school and you're eyes on a certain Raven, I saw the way you looked at her. I wish you happiness Gar I don't want you to suffer."

"You told me that at the beginning of the last year, it didn't help much but it kept me going. I'll see you around teach; maybe you can keep our history a little less popular than you did today then huh?"

"Yes Garfield I am sorry. Go on kid you got an elective to handle!" he smiled.

I did the same and walked out of his classroom. I read the not over again and breathed in the sweet spring air. This was going to be a good day.
