Meet the Gang.
People. Sometimes it seemed as if all they wanted was to make her life even more miserable.
Raven froze right where she was, and with a slightly annoyed frown on her face, she turned around to look for the person addressing her, only to find Victor Stone, the quarterback of the football team and one of the most popular guys at school, walking towards her with a stupid grin plastered on his face. "Hey Raven, BB with you?" he greeted her.
"Does it look like he's with me?"
Victor started looking around and the dark girl sighed while crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Uh, no?" Victor replied, more in a question than in an answer.
Raven unfolded her arms and before walking away, she said, "If you're looking for him, you're wasting your time. He won't show off today." (AN: Show off, you get it?)
"He won't? Why not?"
"Because he's grounded," Raven called back. "Not for long enough, if you ask me." As she kept walking towards the left of the quad, she could see a small group of people waving at her. One of them had her hair combed in ways that defied the gravitational law and was a pink-bubblegum color. Raven guessed she was new.
"Hey Miss Darkness, what's crackin'?" A voice with a somewhat English accent called. It was Ben, with his thick and curly brunette hair falling over his bright green eyes and his usual black coat with safety pins along the sides of his back. Blackfire was also there; her new red highlights didn't do her ebony black hair much justice. Raven set her eyes on the other two: one was Patrick with his Volcom concert T-shirt, and the other was…
Raven let out a small gasp, wide eyed. "J-Jinx!" she choked.
"Hey girl. What? Didn't recognize me?" her friend smiled.
"You dyed your hair!"
"So? Yours is dyed too."
"At least mine is purple, but yours… yours is pink. Girly pink."
Jinx looked to the left, thinking of something. "Yeah, I, um, grabbed the wrong bottle."
"You know you're not very good at lying, so you shouldn't even bother."
Jinx looked as if she was about to say something but Blackfire cut her off, "So, how was your summer?"
Raven shrugged. "Fine, I guess. Got abducted by aliens, robbed a bank, kicked my cousin's butt, graffiti the City Hall. The usual. How 'bout yours?" Blackfire, Ben, and Patrick laughed. Jinx on the contrary rolled her eyes but still let out a small smile.
"Nothing really. I got a job to get out of the house. Couldn't stand being there with Kori hosting her tea parties," Blackfire said.
Raven looked at Ben, who also shrugged. "Got a job at Juice Shack, went to art school."
"I had to come to summer school."
"I went to visit some family," Jinx shivered at the memory. "Dyed my hair," she pointed at it.
"We're not stupid or color blind," Blackfire snapped. Again, Jinx wanted to say something back to Blackfire, but the bell rang, announcing it was time for the seniors to go into the gym, where they would get a 'welcome' speech.
"See you inside," Ben said to the girls before he and Patrick took off. Meanwhile, the girls had a hard time getting at the front of the doors of the gym; it was ridiculous how many seniors were attending Jump City High (AN: What an original name). Raven silently cursed the genius who had built four double doors for more than 600 persons to go through.
Once inside, everyone looked for the perfect spot to sit, which were the top corners, from where Patrick and Ben were waving. Blackfire guided Jinx and Raven through the crowd to where the boys were sitting, and after they sat, the principal showed up and started his speech.
"Welcome back generation of 2005. We hope that you had a wonderful summer and we are glad to see you back here with us, ready to start a new school year…" the principal, Mr. Slade said to the audience.
"Betcha not even him buys that," Raven whispered, causing her friends to burst in fits of laughter.
"…you will pick up your schedules at the tables in the den with your counselors and may go to your classrooms if wished…" At this last line, all the students started laughing but a look from the staff quickly silenced them. "As I was saying, locks and hall lockers will be sold at the student store, but gym clothes, locks and lockers will be purchased with your gym class within the next few days."
Ah, the 'gym' speech. Had they confused the senior orientation with the freshman orientation? Apparently yes.
The bell rang again and everybody hurried outside. The lines started forming to pick up the schedules, as well as in front of the student store. Ben was one of the first ones to get on line. "What's his rush?" Blackfire asked, walking towards the A-E sign.
"He probably thinks that the sooner he gets his schedule, the sooner he can get out of here," Patrick guessed.
"I can see his point," Raven commented, seeing that a bunch of cheerleaders were approaching, including Kori Anderson. The cheerleaders, all dressed in white and pink, and carrying their purses and diamonds-covered cell phones, indiscreetly stared at Raven and her group.
Trixie, one of Kori's friends spoke. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? It seems like…Raven…and her friends."
A/N: Ok, I now this chapter was dull and all, but I'm trying my best, so plz bare w/me. What was I going to say? (Holds paper up) Oh, yeah.
Silly me, I forgot to write my disclaimer last time! Here it goes: clears throat If I owed Teen Titans, Robin and Raven would be together, Cyborg would have Jinx, and Starfire would have died because of an, um, er, accident since season two. Now, do you see all of this happening in TV? Unfortunately not because my debit card only holds 500 which means I'm poor and can't afford to buy Teen Titans (this has to be the longest disclaimer in FF history!). breathes
Thanks to dancingirl3, who has been waiting patiently for this chapter, and to Quen, catqueen13, bored (there is a reason why Star is so OOC), and KidFlashisHot for reviewing!
Also, here is how you guys can help. Extra credit to anybody who gives me ideas for this fic (girl A sticks girl B's face in toilet, boy is caught with pig in principal's office, the sort), I desperately need them!
