IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
How could Caleb do that?, Cornelia thought as she ran through the hall. Tears were still streaming down her pale face. She turned and bumped into something. She felt it was a someone who was holding her arms. She looked up and saw Beastboy's worried face. "Cornelia? What's wrong?", Beastboy asked. More tears formed in her eyes as she looked into his worried ones. She couldn't help it, she started to cry into his shoulders. Beastboy was a little suprised, but hugged her to make her feel better.
"If you don't wanna tell me, then that won't stop me from cheering you up. After all, I am the funny one around here. Come on, let's go to the main room", Beastboy grabbed her hand and led her to the main room (the one with the kitchen and the couch). They sat down on the couch. "Ok, so why did the elephant cross the road?", Beastboy had a happy face on. Cornelia looked at him with a sad face and shrugged softly. "Cause he thought he was a chicken", Beastboy started laughing. Cornelia smiled slightly.
She knew he was trying so hard to make her smile, she didn't want to ruin the moment. "Oh wait! I know! I always eat these super gigantic choco cookies when I'm sad! We have a ton over here", Beastboy ran to the mini kitchen. He looked around and got two big cookies (and good looking if I may add). "Here", Beastboy handed Cornelia a cookie. "How did you know I loved chocolate cookies?", Cornelia asked, laughing slightly. "Lucky guess! Thank goodness it worked!", Beastboy beamed. Cornelia took a bite from the cookie. "Wow, I've never tasted anything like this! It's awsome", Cornelia smiled now. Beastboy also took a bite and laughed with her.
"So, now will you tell me what happened?", Beastboy asked, leaning on the couch. "I guess I can..", Cornelia didn't look sad, but she wasn't happy either. She didn't want to cause another episode. "See, Caleb and I were in our rooms and we were having a good time, you know", Cornelia started. Beastboy rolled his eyes slightly when he heard his name. "And then Hay Lin comes in the room. Caleb asks her what 'she' said", Cornelia's eyes fell to the floor when she said that. "Who's 'she'?", Beastboy asked. "I don't know. And I really didn't care until Hay Lin said, "She said yes". And Caleb smiled super big...it looked like Hay Lin asked a girl out for Caleb", Cornelia said softly. "Who could it be?", Beastboy asked silently. "I don't know. I thought he liked me before. I really liked him too...but he likes someone else...", one tear fell down her cheek.
"I can't believe Caleb would just say that in your face! What a jerk. You shouldn't listen to him", Beastboy said with a disgusted face. "I didn't think Caleb was like that...", Cornelia whispered. "People can suprise you...I know alot about that", Beastboy said. And of course, he was remembering the horrible thing that had happened to Terra. Her body still stood underneath them in stone. He loved her a lot. As Beastboy remembered, he turned to Cornelia. She looked exactly like Terra...well not exactly, but very similar.
"Beastboy? You ok?", Cornelia asked. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I just miss this friend that we used to have...she betrayed us...", Beastboy looked down. "You know, your life and my life are the same", Cornelia realized. "What do you mean? We look nothing alike", Beastboy smiled slightly. "No, haha, not in appearance. You're in a group of 5 who fight evil.I'm ina group of 5 who fight evil, too. I can tell by the look in your eyes, that you've had trouble with a girl", Cornelia said softly.
Beastboy's eyes went wide, "How...how do you know that?". "By the way you're looking at me. I remind you of the girl, don't I?", Cornelia replied. "...Yeah...you do. The one that...betrayed us...her name was Terra...I really loved her", Beastboy said softly. "It's ok, I guess both of us are loveless", Cornelia put a friendly hand on his shoulder. Beastboy smiled. Cornelia smiled in return. "I guess I'm not a loner", Beastboy chuckled softly. Cornelia stood up, "What about that girl, Raven?". Beastboy turned red, "...Uh, what about Raven?".
Raven walked to the main room to get something to drink when she heard voices. She put her ear on the door...it was Cornelia and Beastboy. Raven's eyebrows wrinkled together in anger, I thought he didn't like her!. Raven turned into the black Raven and flew up to the ceiling, camoflauging. She went into the other room and was now above Cornelia and Beastboy.
"Besides this Terra girl, it's her isn't it?", Cornelia smiled. "Why are you asking me? I'm not telling", Beastboy stood up and crossed his arms with a playful smile. Raven smiled slightly, too. She knew that Beastboy didn't want to admit it, but she wanted to hear him say it. "Well, why not?", Cornelia grinned. "Because...since you know everything about love and all that junk, how come you can't tell?", Beastboy turned completely red, his green face was now red as a tomato. "You like her!", Cornelia exclaimed with a wide smile. "Ok, ok. Yes, alright? But don't tell anyone! I don't want it to get out, especially to Raven. I would be totally embarrased if she found out", Beastboy turned into a turtle and hid under the shell. Cornelia smiled, "Ok, I won't. I promise".
Beastboy turned into his normal self again. "Hey, Beastboy. I'm gonna go outside, I still feel an ache in my heart", Cornelia said. Beastboy nodded and put a friendly hand on her shoulder. Cornelia smiled slightly and went outside.
Well, then you're gonna be very embarrased, Beastboy, Raven thought as she flew back to her room. She turned normal again and smiled gigantic. She fell on her bed, "He likes me".
"Hay Lin! Hay Lin!", Caleb ran to Hay Lin's room. He opened the door. "Hey! Have you ever heard of knocking?", Hay Lin jumped up when he suddenly slammed the door open. "Hay Lin! What the heck did you say?", Caleb grabbed her arms frantically and shook her. "Whoa, whoa whoa! Caleb calm down!", Hay Lin exclaimed. Caleb stopped shaking her, but still held on to her arms. "What are you talking about?", Hay Lin asked. "What did you tell Cornelia?", Caleb asked again with panic. "Cornelia? I didn't tell her anything? What are you talking about, Caleb?", Hay Lin said with worry and panic. Caleb sighed in frustration. "After you told me that Starfire said yes to what Robin asked me, she started to cry and ran out. I ran after her, but she blocked the way with a huge rock", Caleb said.
Hay Lin thought for a moment. She looked down thinking. Caleb let go of her. Hay Lin gasped and looked up to him. "Caleb! She missunderstood us! I know because it's a girl to girl thing. She thought that you asked someone out using me!", Hay Lin yelled. "What? Oh my gosh!", Caleb yelled and ran out of her room. He ran downstairs to the main room and saw Beastboy watching tv.
"Beastboy! Do you know where Cornelia is?", he got in front of the tv and said yelled breathlessly. "Why the heck am I going to tell a jerk like you where to find Cornelia? You broke her heart enough", Beastboy said with annoyance. "Beastboy, she missunderstood me! I didn't ask someone out", Caleb said. "You didn't? Then what happened?", Beastboy crossed his arms. "Robin wanted me to ask Starfire if she liked him. I asked Hay Lin because she's most like Starfire and she's a girl. When Hay Lin told me she said yes, Cornelia must have thought I asked a girl out by using Hay Lin", Caleb said quickly.
"She was super heart broken! You, go down there", Beastboy pushed him out. "I thought you liked her", Caleb said. "Someone else deserves my attention", Beastboy said before Caleb was out of the room. Caleb shrugged and went down the stairs all the way to the main entrance. He opened the doors slowly and saw the sunset disappearing under the city. He looked both ways and saw Cornelia up a tree, sitting with her knees huddled together and her arms around them (it was a very thick branch...very thick). Caleb ran to the tree, "Cornelia". "What?", Cornelia studdered. "Oh, Cornelia. Why did you run off like that?", Caleb asked, he started to climb up. "You wouldn't care", Cornelia whispered.
Caleb was now on the same brach and stood silent, one leg haning. Cornelia slowly turned her body around, so she was facing Caleb. Both were sitting in front of each other. Caleb's eyes filled with love and worry, Cornelia's filled with tears and sorrow. Caleb smiled slightly. Cornelia closed her eyes, tears streaming out. Caleb reached out and brushed away her tears. Cornelia gasped and opened her watery, crystal blue eyes. "But I thought-", Cornelia started, but Caleb put a gentle finger over her mouth. "I don't know what you thought I asked Hay Lin to do, but if that is what you missunderstood, then I'll tell you", Caleb said. He removed his finger. "Robin asked me to ask Starfire why she wasn't talking to him and if she liked him. I knew she wouldn't tell me, so I asked Hay Lin to ask her. Hay Lin is a lot like Starfire. I asked Hay Lin to tell me if she said if she liked him or not. She came up to me and told me that Starfire said yes", Caleb finished.
Cornelia felt very awkward. She did all that drama just for a little thing like that. She judged Caleb too quickly, and now she knows to trust him like she should. Like he does her. "Oh...I thought you were asking someone out", Cornelia said, breaking the awkward moment. Caleb right away understood how she felt. He wanted to make her understand that he really did care. "Cornelia, I-", Caleb started. Cornelia looked up. Caleb looked around, putting together words. "Ever since I met you, I always knew you were gonna be someone very special to me, you know", Caleb said. Caleb couldn't think of anything else to try to put it to her how much he loved her, but he suddenly felt something rest on his chest. Caleb looked down. Cornelia had turned around and rested her back and head on him, "Sometimes, it's the things that you don't say that matter, Caleb".
Caleb understood that she didn't expect anything big from him. She understood how awkward Caleb had felt in that moment. Caleb sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist and stomach, showing her that he was there to protect her and love her. After all these years, I finally found the girl that respects me. Cornelia sighed and hugged her arms around Caleb's warm arms and closed her eyes. I remember that girl, Diana. She never had any respect for me. She treated me like a puppet. Caleb held on to her a little tighter. Oh and that girl, what was her name? Oh yeah, Erica. She just liked me because I started the rebels and I was the 'big macho leader'. I thought she liked me cause of..me. Thank goodness I found out before I got deeper into trouble. Cornelia smiled, "Thank you Caleb. I'm glad you came".
Now, I finally found the girl that doesn't use me like a puppet, she respects me and waits until I am comfortable. And I found the girl who doesn't like me becaue I'm 'Macho Man'. She loves my soul, and I love hers. Caleb closed his eyes and leaned on the bark of the tree, "I'm glad I came, too". The two young lovers, yet they still haven't said yet, laid under the moonlight's beams and enjoyed their moment together. Even with their eyes closed, they knew that everything around them was right.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
