(Well, sorry for the long wait on a new chapter. I've been busy with school finals, Christmas rush, family coming around, etc. To answer a few questions for the reviewers about Raven's powers, that will be explained later on. The place may seem a little clichéd when I get there, if I do it as planned, but hopefully everyone will like it.)

Chapter 3:

"Yes ma'am," Raven's father said sternly, "I assure a sever punishment on her as soon as we get home," he continued telling the principle.

"Don't be extremely harsh," she told him, "I know what it's like to be her age, a sophomore in high school. Things are tough." She turned to Raven next to him. "We'll see you in three days, when your suspension is over."

Raven and her father stood, and began to walk out the door. The bell rang as the left, and the halls filled with teens. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Beast Boy and Terra leaving class. Terra was hanging onto his arm, trying to show him off to her friends, like they were dating. Or, while Raven had been out for the past hour, were they?

"You bitch," her father muttered, "Just trying to get attention. That'll be the day. Maybe when you stop being a fre…" he cut off the last word, all said under his breath, afraid she might hear.

"Dad," she said quietly, as the opened the doors and headed for the car.

"What?" he scowled.

"I…I'm really not sure what happened today. I felt…jealous about something and…it's just like something inside me caused the fire extinguisher to blow off, and activate the alarm. It was so…weird."

"Quit making up this bull," he said, opening the door on his side or the car, "You know you just wanted some fucking attention."

Before she could even open her door, he reached across and slapped her. He didn't care who saw it, and used as much force as possible. Raven twisted to her left from the force, and fell face first on the ground.

"Now you'll see where trying to get attention gets you. Now get in the damn car," he commanded.

Raven lifted up, tears streaming down her face, stood and opened her door. She dropped into her seat, and closed the door. Her father got in, and started the engine.

"Don't cry. You know you deserved that. You should get a lot worse. You shouldn't even be alive for all you've caused me," he yelled at her.

"What the hell are you talking about!" she screamed back, "What did I ever do!"

He slapped her again, and said slowly, "Just…shut up."

The engine purred through all of this. Slowly, it sped up, and Raven and her father pulled out of the parking lot, to head to their dim house at the end of their street.

Meanwhile, inside, Star, Dick, and Vic watched what happened, moments before the bell was going to ring for their class to being.

"Poor Raven," Dick said.

"Why does he do that?" Vic asked, in a sad tone of voice.

"She deserves it," a fourth voice said from nearby, "for trying to go against me."

It was Terra. Beast Boy stood nearby, watching what happened as well. He had a look similar to the others.

"She's never done anything to you!" Starfire yelled, and walked up to her.

Beast Boy, seeing what was coming walked away. In his mind, he knew Terra was nothing but a stuck up, preppy bitch, and wanted nothing to do with her. He wished he had gotten to talk to the girl who he had just witnessed being abused so wrongly.

"Hah!" Terra laughed, "Raven walks these halls like she owns it. But she doesn't. I'm the top one around here, and can get whoever and whatever I want. And there is nothing any of you can do about it," closing her eyes and turning around.

As soon as she finished, Star had already made a fist. Terra, with her eyes still closed began to turn, but was stopped, by Star's fist pounding into her cheek.

"Starfire!" a voice cried. It was their teacher. "Both of you, office. NOW!"

To be continued…

(I know the ending was kinda bad, but it was supposed to reveal a little more about B.B., Terra, and the others, as well as let everyone know how cruel some people here can be. I'm already starting my next chapter. Sorry for another short one.)
