A/N: W00T! I got more reviews this time, and I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read the authors not and review. For those of you who didn't, well, you're probably not reading this either so I won't say anything )

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans (no sarcastic remark today? It's a miracle! Oh, wait, there it is…)

SpiderSquirrel: Lol, glad you like it. Trust me, if I had that power it would always be Saturday. I'll keep trying to update ASAP. Keep the Reviews coming, and I keep the chapters coming!
Flying-Grayson: I'm glad you decided to try reading my fic, and I'm even gladder (is that a word?) that you like it. Thanks for your opinion, Keep Reviewing!

IsaacGSO: Thanks for reviewing! I appreciate it a lot. I wasn't really sure what the second genre on this fic to be (Romance?) b/c my stories usually reflect how I'm feeling when I write them, but I'm glad you liked the drama, there's probably going to be more coming up, so keep reading! And don't forget to review!

TDG3RD: Lol, I'm sure wherever there's going to be a BB/Rae, there's going to be a Terra there to try to screw it all up. I don't particularly hate Terra, especially after re-watching the Aftershock episodes, but I'm a complete and utter failure when it comes to OC's. I needed someone to be Beast Boys ex, and same for Raven, so why not be predictable ) Also (just a little fact about me) I may not hate Terra, but I hate Malchior with a passion because he was just plain evil (That's just my opinion). Sry for making you read so much for a review response, keep reviewing!

Digicowboy: Glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for being a constant reviewer (I'm sure I've said that before…) About BB; I'm not too sure what to do with him honestly. In that chapter he's nervous b/c he's trying to find out a bit about her but doesn't know how to approach the subject. He may be a little different though; he's a little too random to get him just like he is in the show. Thanks again for reviewing, keep doing it!

Chapter Five, AKA: A new friendship, and less humor from the author P

Monday came all too quickly, as they often do. The school day went by slowly, as they always do. However, as the last bell rang dismissing Rachel from English class, she suddenly wished it had lasted longer. The argument she had with Mr. Logan would be awkward to confront today. She didn't know where Richard and Kori were, they hadn't been in any of their classes and Rachel wasn't afraid to admit she was a bit worried. Kori wouldn't miss a day of school if the world were ending, and Richard? Well, that wasn't highly unusual.

She walked slower than usual to Room fifty-four, where she knew her teacher would be waiting for her. She sat down in the desk she always sat down in, expecting nothing but silence, and wanting nothing but quiet. Not today though, things were just never that perfect.

"Hi." Came the voice of a surprisingly timid Garfield. She glanced up at him, waiting for him to continue.

He took a deep breath, trying to prepare for what he was going to say. He wasn't too good at apologies.

"I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to offend you, I just get a little curious sometimes."

"It's fine." Rachel said; surprised at how easily she forgave him. She hoped she wasn't going soft.

"Oh," he said, a little surprised. Apparently he also hadn't expected her to forgive him so easily. "I was afraid you hated me. Maybe you can tell me what happened when we become better friends." He said, grinning at her. She hadn't even realized they were friends. They didn't even know each other, but maybe a few more friends couldn't hurt.

She nodded at him, almost unsure of herself.

"I'm glad you forgave me, Rachel." She cringed at the name. She had always hated it, but maybe that was because her parents had given it to her, if nothing else.

"My friends call me Raven." He smiled at her.

"It suits you, and in case you're wondering, I have a nickname too." She eyed him skeptically. "Yup, it's true. All the ladies call me Beast Man." He said, wiggling his eyebrows in a suggestive manner. Rachel shook her head.

"Not going to happen." He frowned, and if he had been a dog she was sure his ears would have drooped.

"Beast… Dude?" He tried.

"If you really want a nickname so badly, I'll give you one. Since you're so immature all the time, I'll just call you Beast Boy."

"It'll do."

Rachel yawned, tired and getting more and more bored with nothing to do. Garfield chuckled at her.

"Tired?" She nodded sleepily. "Want to take a nap?" He joked.

"I wish, unfortunately for you, I can't stay here all day." He put on a thoughtful expression.

"All right then, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself, to pass the time? I'll even tell you a little about me." He said, thinking of an excuse to find out more about her. Rachel bit her lip, she didn't particularly like that idea, but she wouldn't have to go into anything personal, she was sure. She nodded at him, agreeing to participate.

"Okay, I'll go first…" He trailed off; truthfully, neither of them were too eager to share their pasts.

"All right, well, I like animals." He stated. Rachel wondered if that's where he came up with the name Beast Man. She had thought it was a reference to… other things she'd rather not mention, since he had said only girls call him that.

"They're okay, I guess. I've never had a pet before, but I don't think I'd ever want one. Unless, of course," She said, apparently thinking, "It was some kind of large predator type of thing."

"A lot of those are endangered."

"So?" Rachel fired back, she wasn't a huge fan of fluffy pets that little kids and people like Kori hugged and talked about all the time.

"SO? Don't you care about them at all?"

"They're just animals."

"Hey, animals are people too!" So many things to say to that, but she decided to keep her mouth shut about this one. Well, maybe just one thing.

"Do you even hear yourself talk?"

"Sometimes, but other times I talk to fast to understand what I'm saying."

Again, she repressed anything hurtful she was about to say, deciding against ruining a friendship that hadn't even started yet. Though she doubted he would get so upset over something so small. She glanced up at the clock and after a quick goodbye, grabbed her books and left. At least they had left on a good note this time. He had never really considered having a student as a friend, but then again, he was a lot like a kid sometimes. He guessed it would make sense, sort of. He looked up at the clock and read the time easily after years of practice and grinned to himself. She had left twenty minutes late.

A/N: Another chapter done, don't forget to review people! Just one second of your time? ) I'll update as soon as I can; sorry this chapter was so short, too. The next one will be longer.
