It was Monday, and it was time to go to school again. Of course, the first thing that happened was…

"BEAST BOY, GET UP! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"

"GAH!" Beast Boy cried, flying out of bed. He ran to his dresser and started throwing his clothes on the floor, looking for the ones he always wore to school. Once there, he would go to the upper school director and she would take care of his skin "discoloration."

"Hurry up, will you? Everyone else is waiting downstairs!" Robin called.

"I'm coming, jeez! A-ha!" Beast Boy yelled in triumph when he found his outfit. Quickly dressing and grabbing his backpack (Raven had insisted that he pack it the night before so he wouldn't make them all late), he joined Robin down the hallway and followed him down to the garage.

"Could you be any slower?" Raven asked as the two boys took their seats in the car.

"Yeah, I could. But you'd probably kill me if I was," Beast Boy answered.

"Don't be a smart ass."

"But, Raven, I thought your brain is contained in your head," Starfire remarked. Beast Boy started to laugh but Robin and Raven's death glares silenced him.

"It is, Star. That's just…" Robin began.

"…a saying," Raven finished.

"Oh."

"Yo, BB! I think Ms. Morrison's gonna have her work cut out for her if you go lookin' like that," Cyborg said. Beast Boy turned into an octopus and adjusted the front mirror to see himself.

"AUGH! I forgot to brush my hair this morning!" he cried, turning back into human form. Cyborg readjusted the mirror while Raven sighed and pulled out a comb.

"I thought you might need this," she said, handing it to him.

"Oh, thanks."

"No problem."

At school, Cyborg parked the car and they all got out and walked up to the gates. The security guard greeted them and they walked to the locker hall.

"Ugh…I hate this part of the morning," Raven muttered, following the other titans through the crowd of students packed into the small passageway. Halfway there, Beast Boy yelled to them over the noise.

"Guys! I'm going into Ms. Morrison's office! If you need me, I'll be there!" Then he disappeared.

On the other side of the hall, the titans headed to their favorite meeting spot, a stone bench that they called "The Bench." Dropping their heavy backpacks, they sat down and looked over the day's schedule.

"Seriously, guys, why do you always have to crowd around me?" Raven asked.

"Because you're the only one with a planner, Rae," Cyborg answered.

"Yeah, 'cause you lost yours! Just go buy a friggin' new one!"

"Friends, come and view my planner and leave Raven to her 'personal space,'" Starfire said. Robin was there in a flash but Cyborg lingered a bit more just to annoy Raven.

"So, it goes E, F, Break, G, H, Lunch, I, B, C. Crap, I don't have my free today!" Robin said.

"This means I do not have the free, either," Starfire said.

"Heh…guess this means lots of homework for us tonight, huh, St—I mean Kori," Robin remarked. At school, they had to use their codenames, Vic, Gar, Rae, Rich, and Kori. It was hard for them to keep a low profile, and they had almost been uncovered many times. The only people who had been entrusted with the secret were the staff.

"Remind me again why we have to go to school all the time now?" Raven asked.

"Because we need our intelligence as much as anyone does. Plus, we've only got one more year after this," Robin replied reasonably.

"You guys have one more year. This is my last," Cyborg teased. Raven glared at him.

"Sometimes, you are more evil than my father, Vic."

"Oh, I'm sure you could think of someone worse, Rae," the half-robot replied (although at the moment he wasn't, thanks to the image-changing device).

"Shut up," came the response when she realized what he was getting at.

"Come on, guys, cut it out," Robin said, jokingly. "How long until classes start, Vic?"

"About five minutes," Cyborg replied, checking his wristwatch. "We made good time, considering Gar's laziness."

"Hey, it's not my fault we have to get up so early!" a voice called from the direction of the locker hall. Beast Boy stood there, his skin now a tan-ish color. "How do I look?"

"…Natural, for a change," Raven replied flatly.

"Hey, I resent that!" Beast Boy retorted.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the five misfits."

"Red."

"Richard."

The two boys stood up and faced each other angrily. Red was a boy in Robin's grade (11th) who bore a deep hatred toward him for one reason. And that reason was Starfire.

"Beat it, Red," Raven said.

"What if I don't want to?" Red asked, slyly.

"You'd better, or else," Robin hissed.

"Oh, I'm so scared, Rich. I'd better run home or you'll beat me to a pulp," Red joked. Then he grew serious. "Bring it."

Robin was just about to start a fight when the bell rang. He picked up his bag and headed off to advisory. He looked over his shoulder and met Red's gaze.

"See you after school, Richard."

"Ugh, I really hate that guy," Robin muttered when they had reached advisory (they were all in Ms. Acedo's advisory, which met in the library).

"Tell me about it! He's so annoying!" Beast Boy said angrily.

"Please, Rob—er—Richard, what was he asking you to bring?" Starfire asked.

"That's an expression. It's basically asking for a fight," Robin answered.

"Yeah. Commonly used to provoke people," Raven commented. Then she grew serious. "So…what are we going to do about…you know…"

"What are you talking about?" Beast Boy asked.

"Don't pretend you've forgotten," Raven replied, pulling up her sleeve and pointing to the bandages on her shoulder. "The cause of all of this."

"Robin?" Beast Boy whispered. Raven led him to a small corner of the library.

"No, I mean the other guy."

"Oh…"

There was a silence. Then Beast Boy took a deep breath. He still hadn't told anyone about the prank call, and he knew that Starfire hadn't either.

"Rae, there's something about Friday night that I didn't—"

The bell cut him off, signaling the next class. The entire advisory filed out of the library, the titans among them.

"Sorry, Garfield, I have to get to my next class. Tell me at free," Raven said, hurrying off to her next class, Advanced Drawing. Beast Boy sighed and went off to his class, Intermediate Digital Animation.

During the art teacher's lectures, Raven thought about what Beast Boy could have possibly meant about the missing piece of information he had tried to tell her. Nevertheless, she paid attention to her surrounding environment and didn't get in trouble for daydreaming when the teacher asked her a question.

At F period (8:45 AM), Raven headed towards the library to meet with Beast Boy. When he didn't show up after 5 minutes, she went to The Bench to wait there. Five minutes later, she checked at The Table, where the group ate lunch. When he didn't show, she was worried. She went all around school campus and even searched upstairs and in the computer lab. Finally, as she was heading back to the library, she heard voices coming from the other end of the locker hall. She could tell that it was Beast Boy, but she didn't know who he was talking to. They were just around the corner, so Raven stayed hidden in the hallway.

"…so, do you think I should tell her?" Beast Boy was saying.

"Beast Boy—" Raven recognized Starfire's voice.

"Ssh! Garfield, remember?"

"Oh, yes. Garfield, is it not skipping the class if I do not return?"

"You told Mrs. Schuur that you were going to the bathroom, right?"

"Yes…"

"OK, then it's not. So, do you think I should?"

"Should what?"

"Tell Rae about the call?"

Raven listened intently. What call?

"Do what you will, Garfield, I cannot even decide for myself as to whether or not to tell Rob—I mean, Richard. But if you decide to do so, please let me know."

"Of course, Star—um—Kori."

Starfire giggled. "Well, I should be going back now. See you at Break, friend!"

"Bye!"

Raven heard the sound of running footsteps fading as Starfire ran back to history. Then she heard a second pair of footsteps and Beast Boy came around the corner. When he saw Raven, he gulped.

"Uh…hi, Rae!"

"What call?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Raven began to get angry. "I heard your conversation with Starfire. Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about."

"Crap," he thought. Then he sighed. He should just tell her now. "We prank called a serial killer by accident on Friday night. Me and Starfire. That's what we were doing when you came in."

Raven's jaw dropped. "Why didn't you tell us?"

Beast Boy knew the exact answer for that, but, for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to tell her. "Because…we didn't want you to worry."

"Worry? You don't want us to worry? God, Beast Boy. I can't believe you."

"But…"

"Do you realize how skilled some serial killers are? They can track down people in a minute! You'd better hope that—" Raven suddenly stopped and gasped. "Shit."

"A-are you OK, Rae?" Beast Boy asked, watching her already pale face turned even paler.

"He already knows."

"Knows what?"

"Honestly, you can be so stupid sometimes!" Raven muttered. "I mean that he's already found us, knows us, and uncovered our weaknesses!"

Then the realization sunk in. "Crap."

"Yeah. Exactly. Except it's not crap for whoever it is," Raven replied, pacing up and down the locker hall. Beast Boy stopped her.

"So…how do we catch him?"

Cliffy! God, those things are my trademarks now. OK, so there is the update, the usual 4 pages. And don't worry; I know where this will be going now…kinda. But it will get exciting again, I promise! Review please!
