Starfire felt as if she had just fallen asleep when she felt somebody shake her awake.
"C'mon Star, you have to get up." the voice was saying.
Starfire rolled over and looked up at Robin, who was already wearing his uniform. Starfire brifely wondered if he ever took it off.
"Why?" She asked, already knowing the answer.
"You have to go to school." Robin sighed.
Starfire pulled the blankets up over her head. Robin rolled his eyes and pulled them off her, big mistake. She wore only a black bra and black underwear. Robin wondered why she was wearing black. He thought he read somewhere that if you wore black undergarments you were ready for sex.
'Is she ready for sex?' Robin thought, and then mentally kicked himself. They were far too young.
"Robin, what are you staring at?" Starfire asked, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Uh, you're uh, sheets. Yeah...your sheets. Their very nice." Robin was blushing like mad.
Starfire rolled her eyes and sat up, "Do I have to go to school?"
"Yeah." Robin said.
Starfire pouted, but got up, "How much longer do I have before the bus of school comes?"
"School Bus," Robin corrected her, "and it's not coming. You're school is about a half hour away so I'll be driving you."
"What time does the school start?" Starfire asked.
"8:00" Robin stated.
"What was the reason you woke me up at," Starfire glanced at the clock, "6:00?"
"Cy wants to explain to you what your name will be at school." Robin told her.
Starfire's eyebrows knitted in confusion," Why can I not use Starfire?"
Robin sighed, "Because at this school, nobody knows of the Teen Titans, and it would be better for you if you used a different name."
"How would it be better for me?" Starfire asked.
"It just would, Star. I don't know how to explain it." Robin said.
Suddenly Starfire understood what he meant. Starfire was a different name. She would get made fun of for it. Realizing this, her eyes saddened.
"Don't look so sad." Robin tried to cheer her up.
"It is hard not to look sad when you already know what you will be put through at school." Starfire whispered so quietly the Robin couldn't hear it.
Robin walked out of the room, and Starfire stayed in to get dressed. Instead of her usually uniform, she no wore a short blue skirt with a white T shirt. She finished changing and went into the living room where Cyborg was standing with a stand with paper on it. Robin and Starfire sat on the couch and watched Cyborg.
"This is your school," Cyborg said pointing with a stick at a map that was on the stand, "over here is the parking lot, and there is the outside lunch area."
Starfire nodded in understanding and Cyborg continued,
"You will be known as Kori."
"What is my name of lasts?" Starfire asked.
"You're last name? I didn't think of that." Cyborg confessed "Uh, what about Smith? Or Tosba? Or-"
"Grayson." Robin interrupted.
"What?" "Excuse me?" Cyborg and Starfire said in unison.
"Uh, her last name could be Grayson." Robin repeated, thankful they didn't know that was his last name.
"Star, do you like that one?" Cyborg asked and Starfire nodded.
"Okay, Kori Grayson it is." Cyborg exclaimed "Now ya'll grab some grub and Robin drive her to school."
Robin and Starfire got up and walked toward the kitchen. Robin made waffles and they ate in silence.
"Time to go" Robin announced once they were finished.
Starfire got up, looking rather sad, and walked outside, "How will we get there?"
"The 'R' Cycle." Robin stated.
Starfire gulped, for she had never been on the R cycle before. Robin noticed this and put a hand on her shoulder, "You'll be fine."
Starfire nodded and Robin got on front and she sat behind him.
"Hold on tight!" Robin yelled as he started up the engine and drove off.
The ride to school wasn't that bad. Starfire enjoyed being on the 'R' cycle and Robin enjoyed having her sit so close behind him. Even though the ride took them a good half hour or longer to get to the school, it didn't seem long enough for Starfire and she was reluctant to let go of Robin. The idea of clutching onto his waist for the rest of the day kept creeping into her mind. Robin must have noticed this for he said,
"Go on."
Starfire sighed and stepped off the bike.
"What's you're name?" Robin tested her.
"Sta-" she began but Robin stopped her,
"No..."
"Kori." Starfire corrected.
"Good. I'll pick you up at 3:00." Robin told her.
"Promise?" Starfire asked.
"Promise." Robin started up the bike again, and drove off.
He stopped a little ways off, far enough that Starfire couldn't see him because he was hiding behind a bush, but close enough that he could watch her until she disappeared into the building. Robin sighed, and drove home.
Kori walked down the hallway and looked at the schedule Cyborg had given her. English was first, and then came Science and Math, then a study hall, lunch, gym and history, and the day ended with foreign language. She easily located her English class, and sat down in a desk she thought was empty.
"You're in my seat." a masculine voice sounded behind her. She jumped up quickly.
"I am sorry." she muttered and sat in another desk.
"Move it bitch!" another voice yelled, and once again she had to move.
Getting yelled at three more times, Kori finally picked a seat in the far back of the room and stayed there for the rest of her English class.
By study hall Kori was about to break down and cry, and she would have, if a pale girl with long black hair hadn't sat next to her.
"Hey, my names Alia." the girl greeted.
"I am Kori." Kori said, sounding depressed.
"You're new?" Alia asked.
"Yes, I was forced to come." Kori explained.
"That sucks. Do you have any friends?" Alia questioned.
"No." Kori said.
"You can be my friend!" Alia exclaimed.
"Really?" Kori began to feel better.
"Yes really. What class do you have next?" Alia asked.
"I have lunch." Kori told her.
"Me to! We can sit together." Alia invited her.
"Thank you!" Kori said, hugging Alia and the two girls walked off toward lunch.
"Good bye, Alia!" Starfire said as she walked out the door.
Starfire noticed Robin waiting for her and she ran up to him.
"Hey, how was school?" He asked as she climbed on.
"It was the ok" Starfire explained.
Robin raised an eyebrow," As bad as you thought?"
"No. But I have homework." Starfire sighed.
Robin laughed and they drove off toward the tower.
I thought of an idea for this story before Meeting You.
