3rd chapter up! I'm typing to get my fingertips warmed up. As you can see, from my many mistakes, I have some very frozen fingertips...

Niol (how embarrassing, I almost spelled my codename name wrong)

Next period was instrumental classes. As usual, Robin grabbed Raven's arm without asking her permission and pulled her gently to the instrumental classroom. When they gotthere, Raven examined the classroom carefully. The classroom was HUGE, with a high cieling and light-blue paint. There were a lot of lights. A LOT. Stands and chairs were filed neatly in 1/4 of the room.Another 1/4 was covered in risers, and there were shelves with music books as well. The rest was for the school rock band to practice.All three girls and all three boys were signed up for the school rock band. Raven played the electric guitar with Robin. Starfire sang with Raven sometimes singing along with her. Robin was he male background singer. Cyborg played the drums, BB played the keyboard and Terra played the guitar-NOT the electric guitar.

Their first song was "Taken For Granted". Raven and Robin were singing along with Starfire. Here is how it went:

Did you ever know you took me for granted?
Have you ever thought of how much pain it planted?
I don't mean only in me but you as well,
You can't say that it doesn't ring a bell!

Refrain/Chorus

I wanted to believe in all you said
'Cause what you said sounded so good!
When I lay thinkin' of you in my bed,
I realized what you were hiding under your hood.
I'm not doing this simply for the look on your face,
I just wanna show you how much pain I was granted,
When I caught you I knew I was betrayed,
And I knew I was taken for granted.

Pain has never had me so depressed,
But I can't say I'm surprised.
I thought I'd found the one at last,
But this feeling hasn't given me a blast!

Refrain/Chorus

Raven and Robin both sang into the same mic, and their cheeks kept brushing each others. Raven blushed whenever this happened, but Robin smiled a smile bright enough to light the band room without the help of electricity. "Feeling a little bit shy?" Robin teased when they weren't singing. Raven shook her head, buther slightly flushed cheeks gave it all away. Robin gently brushed his hand along her cheek. "You don't need to be," he said. Raven couldn't help but to like the attention.Robin sensed this and smiled at Raven gently, a rather large hand on her slim waist. Raven blushed even harder. Robin was standing a little too close...

Wow, Robin thought. Raven is so...so...hey, wait a minute. Am I falling for her? Oh well, I already have.

Wow, Raven was thinking at the same time. I never felt this way towards anyone before... Am I feeling for Robin what they call "love"?

Finally came the next song, the last one. The song was called "Broken Inside Forever". Raven sang with Starfire, Starfire singing the melody and Raven singing the alto.

I thought I had found love at last,
but you just had to prove me wrong.
I put my doubts into the past,
but my hearts breaking as I sing this song!

Refrain

You scarred me emotionally
For the rest of my life.
You broke my heart intentionally
and I saved you the price.
You broke my inside forever,
And now I'm broken inside forever.

Life has never ever been so hard on me,
Just because the life I lived had let me be.
Boy, you don't know how much you've hurt my soul.
My life is slowly dying like a peice of coal.

Robin noticed how Raven's eyes closed whenever she was singing, and how she moved slowly from side to side when she sang to match the beat. She looked so innocent, so cute, so nice...

Robin shooked himself out of these thoughts in shock. Girls had always been falling for him, but he had never fell for a girl... Robin realized the song had ended and Raven was putting away her guitar, chatting with Terra, who was putting hers away as well. The band teacher was complimenting BB and Cy. Robin paused for a moment and looked at the scene in front of him. It looked...peaceful.

Later on, after more periods, Robin was sitting with his pals and the girls had joined them. Robin sat next to Raven, almost protectively, and Starfire and Cy noticed this. They gave each other knowing smiles and dug into their lunches. Robin made small talk with Raven while the others either talked or ate. "How did you learn to play the guitar so well and to sing so well?" he inquired, honestly curious. Raven looked downin her plate, suddenly shy. "I didn't learn," she said soflty, "It just came to me one day. I found my mom's old electric guitaron the day I was moving here, and I just started to play it and sing some old songs I heard my mothersing." Robin nodded. "Why did you move here without your mother then?" he asked. Raven closed her eyes. "She along with my father and twin brother were killed in a car accident. Since I have no other realtives that I know of, I moved here with the other two girls that had been in the same situation as me." Robin was ready to slap himself. He had made Raven uncomfortable. Raven sensed this and smiled forgivingly."Look, you brought up a sensitive topic. So what? I'll have to do this a million times," she reassured Robin. Robin plaed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry anyways, Rae," he said sincerely. Raven, VERY aware of the close contact, shrugged. Robin put a protective arm around her shoulder. Raven couldn't help but to blush at her new nickname.

The day wore on. Finally, when the day was over, they walked home. Finding out that they lived 2 houses away from each other,the boys offered for the girls to stay awhile at their house and finish homework. They finished their homework, and practiced their band songs. Finally, they sat down to talk to each other and laugh over the day's events.

Cy brought up the topic of their whole little girl-like-boy-and-boy-like-girl thing going on between the 6 friends. At this the girls blushed and the boys put their arms around the girl they liked. Finally, they split into three groups of two and wandered into a different part of the house.

Raven blushed hard as she felt Robin's arms around her slim waist. Robin pulled her into his lap. "Raven and I are together. Isn't that right, Rae?" Raven paused for a bit. Were she and Robin really a couple? Did she really like him? Raven shrugged her shoulders. "I dunno, we only knew each other for a day," she said sensibly. "Oh, come on, you know how you feel for me," Robin half-cooed, half teased in her ear. Raven shuddered. She shrugged again. "Robin, stop doing that in my ear, it feels funny," she said, squirming. Robin held tighter. "Not gonna happen," he said mishcheivously. Raven squirmed harder. Finally, Raven gave up and lay half melted in Robin's arms. She fits so well into my arms... Robin thought dreamily, not bothering to stop himself. Raven sensed his dreaminess and felt it too. Oh, I fit soo well into Robin's arms... Raven thought as she relaxed completely in Robin's arms.

When it was time to go, Robin pulled Raven aside. "Raven, I have something to say to you..." Robin looked down. Raven raised a slim eyebrow. "Yes?" Robin lookedat her and slipped his arms around her slim waist, closing the gap between the two. Raven gasped silently.Was this really happening? Raven relaxed, closed her eyes and allowed Robin to kiss her. Raven hesitated before kissing Robin back. Robin was surprised, but kept the gap between the two closed. Finally, Raven pulled away. Robin kept an arm around her wasit, while the other carressed her flushed, soft cheek. "I love you, Rae," he whispered into her ear. Raven leaned her head onto his shoulder and sighed contently. "I do too," she found herself saying. The same happened to Starfire and Terra. When they saw the dreamy look on each others' faces, they smiled at each other and told the others what happened through the dreamy glint in their eyes. The boys did the same. Oh yea, they were together all right.
