I do not own the Teen Titans or anything related to them, however I do own this story and all of the non-original characters except for Isis, who I have been given permission to use by a friend of mine and all are copywrited. This means you can not copy the story or any of the characters or use them without permission from their original owners. Check out the mini-fics by my friend, Starfire Fury, called Teen Titans: Alpha Humor, they're mini-fics about these characters and they're really good and absolutely hilarious, so go read them!

Teen Titans: The Alpha Five

Isis – Part 3

Graduation day seemed to come across the Academy quickly, at least to the students it did. The end of year exams had passed by in a stressed blur, but the weeks of waiting and nervous anticipation of the results was even worse than actually taking the exams themselves and, it was on this day that a pale hand once more reached for a dusty, untouched in months pale blue book, which lay in its usual hidden place with in the girl's dorms of the Academy.

Dear Diary,

It is amazing how much dust can cover an object in such a short space of time… Ok, so maybe it wasn't such a short time since I last wrote in here, but at least I'm writing again. A lot has happened since I last wrote to you, in fact, so much has happened it is hard to decide where to begin, so I shall start with the logical choice, where I left my situation with you Diary.

You could say Ryu was the reason I haven't written to you in so long. You see, Ryu and I, well… We started dating. God that sounds weird, coming from me, even to me that sounds weird. Anyway…

Let it be officially known, I, Isis, student of the Titans Academy, resident of room 28 in the girl's dorm and previous lone wolf - have friends! Yes, in a strange twist of fate, I have become friends with the very people I have been observing. I know it is going against my own ruling once more, but for once I have friends so I don't really give a damn.

But on to the main topics of why I decided to dig through the dust, risk chocking myself to death and covering myself in dirt just to write in you Diary… gosh you must feel special.

Today is the day that my year nervously awaits to receive their exam results. To actually do the excruciating exams, may they be painful or hard, the actual waiting to get the results is ten times worse and that is not an exaggeration.

People's habits have become more and more obvious, their body language has become more and more strained and there have been a lot more arguments, squabbles and snipes than usual, but the past few weeks have been nothing compared to today. I saw one boy, from the year below us, with his gang this morning, walking through the halls of the dormitories calling out:

"The day of reckoning is nigh!"

In a mock disaster movie voice. I later saw the same boy in the med bay, with a black eye, broken nose and what looked like bruised ribs. One of the younger girls had been singing to her older sister:

"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again" Lets just say what happened to her wasn't pretty and that's between sisters.

Yes, to say that our year group is stressed would be an understatement. You see, if you don't pass your exams, then you don't graduate, if you don't graduate, you get held back a year and have to go through the whole thing again. Plus if you don't graduate, then there's no chance that you can get put into a Titan team.

That's what most people are stressed about. You see, Titan divisions are based at the Academy and are, well I know it sounds mean, but there not considered good enough to be in a Titans team.

But even if you do get to be put into a Titans team, you could still get disappointed, there's only one team everyone wants to be on, only one prize that everyone wants to win and that is Jump City, home of the Alpha team and the five best students in the year. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be on the Alpha team, but I'm not too worried, I've done my best, I'll get there if I deserve it.

Anyway, we get the results today, but that's not the main thing on my mind, well it kind of is and kind of isn't at the same time. You see, me and Ryu, we've been drifting apart. I think of him as more of a big brother rather than a boyfriend, plus his grades aren't what they should be and I get the feeling we could be split up when our posts are announced at graduation. Plus Diary, nah it can't be… Not him.

Got to go Diary, it's almost ten thirty, and people are starting to go down to the main hall to get their results, I'm going to go join them.

Row upon row of nervous students stood outside the main room, all craning their necks to see whether the doors had been opened yet. As the five main teachers, the original Titans opened the door and smiled at them, all went quiet.

"They're all laid out in alphabetical order." Robin stated matter-of-factly and the students all looked at each other. Beast Boy couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Well what are ya waiting for!" With that the teachers had to dart out of the way as a stampede of pupils stormed the main hall, all frantically checking the rows of envelopes for the one that bore their name.

As the mania of results day died down, the only stress left was Graduation Day, which arrived a week later.

As all the oldest students took their seats in the rows in front of the rest of the Academy the nerves and anticipation showed on not just the graduating Titans, but on the faces of the younger students who all eagerly anticipated the naming of the top team.

The Teacher's all filed into their seats on the stage of the main hall as the teens all looked to them, the first few rows were full of Titans in their graduating gowns, a mass of deep purple slightly shiny material, the gold lettering sparkling slightly as they looked proudly out at their students, their protégés.

"Welcome students, graduating Titans and of course parents," The children all looked to the one side of the hall where all the parents sat, there weren't many, a lot of the students were either orphaned, or had lost one parent. Isis was saddened by this, but even more so that both her parents were still living, though didn't even care whether she was still breathing or not, let a lone be here at her graduation.

"It is time to honour our graduating students and of course, announce their posts." Robin announced with a proud smile. The ceremony continued on for an agonising eternity for Isis, her name hadn't yet been called and she got a worried feeling that she hadn't been placed at all.

"Moving on to our last two teams," Robin announced, taking over from Raven and Beast Boy who had been announcing the first of the teams.

"In beta squad,"

Dear Diary,

OH MY GOD! OH MY BLOODY GOD! Excuse me while I just calm down… Blooming heck! I can't believe it. I knew my grades were good, but I never expected to actually get a spot on the Alpha team, let alone second in command. I can't believe it, I'm going to Jumpy City! I'm going to do a Cyborg - BOOYAH!

I'm still numb, I couldn't believe it, I thought I hadn't been placed at all, especially when the Beta squad's names were read out and my name wasn't mentioned, they named me second from last, they named the leader last of all. I was so shocked, but let me tell you Diary, I hid it well, I was the perfect image of grace and poise, which is why I'm practically screaming in you instead.

Jump City. It still isn't sinking in. Second in command to Phoenix, a lot of the jealous people had said she'd only got it because she was Robin and Starfire's daughter, but I've seen her in action and I doubt that this is the case. We have Taiyou, Li and Zeru too.

Zeru… I thought he was just one of the gang in his little crew of the popular species, but I've seen that I'm wrong. I over heard him talking to Phoenix once, only the tail end of the conversation so I didn't understand what they were going on about, but I think there could be more to him than meets the eye, I'll just have to wait and see.

The night of their first day in Jump City

Dear Diary,

I take it back-

Lol, just had to put that last short diary entry in there. So Isis chose friends, well sort of. Stay tuned for the the next collection of mini fics!
