Hi Everyone! I'm not gonna reply to the reviews because I'm going to eat dinner. So byeand R&R!

After a boring lecture, Mister Hudson handed the students the number and code of their lockers. But before he completely ended class, Professor Hudson gave them brief explanation about the rules of the school. The bell rang; the teens rushed outside, leaving Richard and Victor. The two friends were left with horse-faced Professor Hudson. The teacher gave them both detention slips, which would be given to the parents for them to sign. Jump City High is one of the strictest school, second to Jump Military, and school board likes to inform the parents about pretty much everything their child does in school; whether plays or note of absence, this school informs them all about it. Yeah, no use skipping school here.

Richard gulped. His foster dad would be really angry with him. 'Great first day of hell and I already got detention.' Richard scolded himself mentally. His father was one of the best businessmen in the business world-and it also meant that he was one of the strictest and the scariest men if he was ever provoked, needless to say don't anger him; unless, you want to spend a month in the hospital. And his father's name is Bruce Wayne. You heard me right. The one and only multi-billionaire of Gotham City is none other than Richard's foster father, but of course almost nobody knew that. The school board agreed that they would keep the ties a secret from the students.

But even though Richard's mind was wrecking havoc, he still maintained a quite cool and calm exposure as if it was no big deal; though, he knew he was in hot water, in really deep, hot water later. That was the thing with Richard Wayne Grayson, Rich didn't want to adopt his foster dad's surname and wished to adopt it as a middle name instead, though almost no one knew what his middle name was either, he never let anyone know his weaknesses.

Victor, on the other hand, stared into space. He was really just pretending to listen to Professor Hudson; he didn't really care about detention. His dad was always too busy with his work to pay attention to him much, but Victor, again, didn't care. He and his dad, Brad Stone, acted like they were totally complete strangers. His mom left them on an ill-fated day, the day of Victor's elementary graduation. His mom died after a car accident that almost killed Vic as well. He was severely injured while his mom didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to her husband, because after approximately an hour, she died. Victor's leg, left leg, was seriously damaged and he was forced to undergo and operation, and change his leg for a prosthetic one. Victor was left with his father and their relationship went downhill from that.

Though even when Victor had a fake leg, he was still good at sports; he was the star player of their school's football team. His mother would have been very proud, but unfortunately his dad wasn't. In fact, his dad never showed evidence that he knew Vic had football practices and would come home late. But even though, Victor never showed signs that he was upset, he was. Victor deeply wished that his dad would notice him, treat him like a father's supposed to treat his son; cheer for him when he played football, nagged Vic when he failed his exams, which by the way rarely happens, do other things with him.

Professor Hudson interrupted their train of thought "Okay, now you two give this for your parent's to sign. See you on Saturday boys.", and pushed the boys outside his classroom.

Raven was walking to her locker, thinking about a certain boy. 'Why was he staring at me?' she asked herself mentally. Apparently, she caught Richard's stare in Biology class. But she didn't tell him, it would be more embarrassing, and besides no one else noticed it, so she let it slide. 'But if he does that stunt again, I'll kill him or at least shout until his eardrums burst. Although, he is cute and he seems kid of nice' she added. 'But no thinking of boys this school year, I came here to learn and not gawk at guys.'

'And I can't like him, he doesn't like me either. I mean who would even like me? I hide from the sun; I mean I'm a freak! No one could love me- no scratch that- NO ONE WOULD LOVE ME!" She thought sadly.

Walking along the hallway, she didn't even see the weird looks the students gave her; she was too submerged in her own thoughts to notice.

"Hey, have you guys heard about the new girl?" Chloe asked. She had dull blonde hair reaching her waist; light blue eyes; and a big mouth. Whatever secret you tell her, the next day it would be the talk of the whole school. She was also a part of the cheeerleading group; she was the vice. And she also had a really high-pitched voice; it could shatter glass. She was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt and mini skirt that was too short to be legal with chunky sandals with a two- inch heel. One more thing- every single thing she wore was pink! From her hair clips to clothes to jewelry, it was pink.

"Yeah. What about it?" Jem replied somewhat curtly, but it seems as though Chloe didn't pay attention or that she didn't hear her. Yeah, it was probably the latter. Jem, or Jinx s some people call her, favored the color pink as well. She had dyed pink hair, reaching just an inch or so below her shoulders; and pink contact lenses; she was also one of Chloe's 'friends' but somehow, she thought she didn't feel comfortable with the populars. She was really a nice girl at heart. Today, she wore a black tight shirt with pink and blue hearts over it, a navy blue, and knee- length skirt with black sandals. She wasn't a part of the cheerleading team but she was a member of the badminton team, she was the best.

"She looks creepy. She looks like a wannabe Goth or something. Some even say that she's witch." Chloe whispered softly so only her friends could hear.

"…Witch?" Jinx snickered. First day and rumors about the new girl are beginning to spread. 'I pity the girl' she thought evilly, though even she could deny the sarcasm in her voice.

"Yeah a witch. I mean what's with the hood? Is she afraid of the light or something…?" Then Chloe came up with the moist ridiculous answer the world may ever hear. "She's a vampire! And she's gonna kill every one of us and turn us to ugly zombies!" Oh yes, Chloe is the 'smartest' girl on the face of the earth.

Jinx couldn't help herself. She laughed loudly, too loudly. The teens, which were near the trio, stared at her like she had no eyes or something just as weird. Sometimes, Chloe's idiocy is a good laugh.

"What? You don't think she's a vampire!" Chloe asked, annoyed. She never liked it when someone laughs at her stupidity.

Jinx's chuckles faded and the rest of the students went back to continue the stuff they had been doing; such as making-out, bickering, exchanging lies better known as rumors, and chucking their school items in their locker.

"No. What do you think Layne?" Jinx questioned their 'leader'.

"I think she's a freak." Layne spat the last word as if it was venom. 'Great another freak, that's I need. As if my sister wasn't enough,' she thought, aggravated. 'The school decided to enroll another freak!". This is Layne. The so-called leader among the three girls, also the president of the cheerleading squad. She had shiny black hair reaching her hips; purple contacts, and a seductive attitude to match. She was wearing a dark violet tube top with the words 'SEXY' sprayed on it, tight silver capri pants, and metal boots. Also one of the populars; obviously.

"Freak… Hmm, yeah you're right." Chloe and Jem said approvingly. Of course, Layne was always right.

"Like your sister!" Chloe began "I hate your sister! She's so weird. Talking English like she thinks she's Miss America! Guys just like her 'coz she's your sister but wh-"

Jinx interrupted "Earth to Kitten! We're dealing with the new kid here." using Chloe's pet name.

"Whateva mom." Chloe teased.

"Why I oughtta-"

"Cool it girls. The new girl's coming this way." Layne ordered. Her two friends automatically stopped bickering and returned to apply their make-up, which was forgotten awhile ago because of the recent conversation.

Raven's P.O.V.

I walked the halls looking for my locker, ignoring the stares some of the students are giving me. This is stupid! How can one little locker give me this much trouble. Where could it be? If this goes on, I'm going to be late for my next period. Locker number 831, code number 1037. Where can it be? Professor Hudson said that it was near the library and cafeteria, but I don't know where the two are either. I should have asked for directions. Maybe I'll ask those three.

Richard's P.O.V.

As I walked outside Biology room, horse- faced Hudson called out to me.

"Richard, I need you to be Raven's guide for the week. She's still new." He said. I could not refuse. What would he do to me then, just the way he said it made me shiver- in a REALLY bad way. But maybe guiding the new girl isn't that bad, what was her name again? Rain? Riven? Raven? Yeah, that's it, Raven! Raven, nice name. Maybe she's nice too, and maybe I could learn something about her. She seems smart, after all, she submitted a 300-page report, and I see in the future that I'm seriously gonna fail Biology.

Author's P.O.V.

And Richard went in search of Raven, but not after looking for his locker and catching up with Victor.

"Umm…Do you know where the Library is?" Raven asked politely, hiding the fact that she was looking for her locker instead of the Library.

"Yeah, you just need to go right, then go forward and turn left on the second fork." Jinx answered to be helpful. And Jinx asked a follow-up question "You're new. What's your name?"

"Raven. My name's Raven." She clearly told Jinx.

"Neat. Mine's Lae Jem but some calls me Jinx."

"Okay, thanks."

"No prob.." Jinx told her. "Oh, and these are my friends. Layne, and Chloe but everyone calls her Kitten." She gestured to the two girls.

"Hey." Layne and Kitten greeted Raven at the same time, rudely.

"Umm, hi." Raven greeted them back with the same gusto.

The two, Layne and Kitten, ignored Raven's use of tone and went back combing their hair, the one thing they love more than boys.

Jinx felt kind of bad for the Raven. 'Why do they have to treat her like that' she thought to herself. 'She's just new so what's their problem.'

"Do you want me to take to your locker?" Jinx asked, wanting to help Raven. 'She doesn't seem bad, unlike my so-called friends."

"Oh no. not really, I could go there by myself. It's no problem." Raven assured her.

But Jinx wasn't going to give up that easy. "No, it's not a problem! My next class is near to the Library anyway." She said nonchalantly.

"Thank you." Raven heard herself whisper softly, but it was loud enough for Jinx to hear.

"You're welcome!" Jinx grabbed her notebook, books, and pens. "Let's go."

And they left, leaving Layne and Kitten to figure out 'what the hell happened!'

"So you gonna be dark girl's escort?" Victor asked his buddy. Richard told him about it after he caught up with his cybernetic friend. While he was explaining the benefits of being the guide, Victor came up with the nickname 'dark girl' and Vic's only explanation was 'it fits ya know', and Richard agreed to that statement, if you can call it that.

"Yeah." Richard confirmed. "Who knows? She might even become our friend."

Vic snorted "Yeah, right. God knows that the Goths and jocks don't mix, Rich."

"Good point," Richard reasoned "But maybe she's not like Goths. She's dark, yes; but maybe she's friendly."

"She won't even talk to us in Bio." Vic voiced out.

"You just had to remember that." Richard declared, annoyed and somewhat sad at the same time; though he didn't know why.

"How'd you know I was looking for my locker?" asked a curious Raven. She didn't tell Jinx that, in her recollection at least.

"The library doesn't do classes and you still have your bag." Jinx replied pointing to Raven's shoulder bag. Raven briefly looked embarrassed but it was gone like a spark lightning. And they continued walking.

After a few moments of sweet- so sweet- silence, Jinx stopped with Raven stopping with her.

"We're here." Jinx pointed to a double door. Made of the finest glass mind you with complicated carvings on the sturdy wooden border, Raven could not help but stand in awe. Yeah, the library has that effect on new students and visitors.

"Whoa, looks like someone had too much money." Raven complemented or rather deadpanned. Seriously though, Raven was totally amazed.

Jinx replied without missing a beat "Yeah, the vice principal has a very crazed obsession with literature…" Jem added quickly "and money."

"Seems that way." Raven chuckled. She then saw something worthy of her attention beside her. Lockers. "Looks like I've found what I've been looking for. Thanks Jinx, I can call you Jinx right?"

"Of course, and welcome to you. I would love to stay here and watch you fill your locker but my class is waiting for yours truly." Jinx replied melodramatically, entering a room just across the row of lockers.

After Jinx entered the room, Raven began finding her locker. After a couple of seconds she found it and emptied all her stuff into the locker, but doing so with an organized grace. After everything was neat and tidy, she checked her schedule. 'Hmm, I have English. What a coincidence, Jinx has the same class.'

And with that, Raven gathered her things, locked her umm… locker, and went inside the class room, where Jinx had previously entered. She went inside the class without anyone noticing except a girl with undeniably pink hair and a boy with ebony spikes for hair.

A/N: Yeah I'm gonna eat now. See ya when I see ya
