Chapter 3
She's in the Band
Beast Boy sat on the couch, quietly staring at Raven and forming a plan. I can't stand it anymore! I'm so gonna find out what she does in that room of hers. I'll just change into something small so she won't see me. Like a fly or something. Ok, so he wasn't exactly big on thinking about plans but this just happened to be one of his good ones.
Raven was trying to read her book but felt curious as to why BB was being so quiet and doing nothing but stare at her. He probably has some lame prank or something he's thinking of pulling. Or he …. Wait! It's been two hours since he's made any noise! Is he in a trance or something? What's wrong with him? She looked up from her book straight at him, "Why do you keep staring at me?"
"I'm not staring at you," he had a small blush. "I'm just thinking."
"Well, there's a first time for everything," she smirked. What could he possibly think of for two hours without stopping?
"Yeah…. Hey! Take that back!"
"Take what back?" The goth asked.
"What you…. Huh? What are you talking about?" He asked curiously.
The titan stood up. "Whatever, I'm going to my room." She rolled her eyes. "Since I've just proven my point."
BB grinned. Excellent timing! Wow, did I just like use a nine letter word? Guess she's rubbing off on me. He shrugged, following her. At least acting stupid worked!
Raven walked into her room and BB followed as a fly.
A ringing was heard and Rae took a cell phone out of her cloak. "Hello."
Rae has a cell phone? He listened to the voice by flying closer.
"Hey Raven! I have a surprise for you!" A women's voice said happily.
Raven stayed silent but then thought out loud, "It's not my birthday, Christmas, Valentines Day, or Halloween so what's the occasion?"
"Oh I can't tell you that cause its part of the surprise."
She rolled her eyes.
"Just come down to the club and tell them you're a friend of Karla."
Raven smirked, "Since you put it under that name I guess it wouldn't hurt."
"Good but bring yourself an extra set of clothes so you can perform afterward. What's it called again? Started?"
"When This Started," she corrected her as she started pacing in her room.
"The guys know the music right?"
"We only went over it a billion times! They better know it!"
"Chill out Rae, god." The girl sighed. "You sound stressed; did something happen with…. Ya know?"
"I'll tell you later ok?"
"Ok, I'll see ya soon then."
The goth shut the phone and put it in her pocket and went to get some clothes.
Who the heck was that? How does Raven know her? What were they talking about? A million questions popped into BB's brain as he saw her open her window and fly out toward the city. Beast Boy followed as a green raven.
Raven landed in front of a random club neither he nor the other titans had gone to. She walked inside. "I'm a friend of Karla."
A man led her to a table toward the back but it still had a good view of the stage. "I will inform her or your arrival, miss."
The changeling looked inside and spotted Raven. He took a seat somewhere behind her, where she wouldn't be able to see him when she left.
The stage lit up as a tall skinny pale girl with long purple streaked blond hair. "Hey everyone!"
BB's jaw dropped. No way! I didn't know The Dark in the Sunlight was even in town!
"This first song is called 'Where You Belong."
Everyone cheered and whistled.
You stand
Apart
Alone
You are
Workin' on your masterpiece
They laugh
They stare
No one
Would dare
Invite you to hang out with them
Look around no where to go
It gets you down cause you'd just like to know
Where you belong
Just lookin' for the place that you fit in
You're too weird- too cool, it's always something
Try hard but you can't seem to get there
Where you belong
So what, so what if you're different?
It's what you is, not what you isn't
Someday
It will be so clear
You dress
In black
Head full
Of facts
A living encyclopedia
Abalone
Away
With what
You say
I love the way you look at things
Don't take it all so hard
Seems to me you're not so very far
Where you belong
Just lookin' for the place that you fit in
You're too weird- too cool, it's always something
Try hard but you can't seem to get there
Where you belong
So what, so what if you're different?
It's what you is, not what you isn't
Someday
It will be so clear
Just gotta be happy within yourself
No use tryin' to be somebody else
Everybody just tryin to find a place
Where you belong
Just lookin' for the place that you fit in
You're too weird- too cool, it's always something
Try hard but you can't seem to get there
Where you belong
So what, so what if you're different?
It's what you is, not what you isn't
Someday
It will be so clear
Where you belong
Just lookin' for the place that you fit in
You're too weird- too cool, it's always something
Try hard but you can't seem to get there
Where you belong
So what, so what if you're different?
It's what you is, not what you isn't
Someday
It will be so clear
Where you belong
Someday
It will be so clear
After the song was over the changeling noticed Raven walking backstage and was greeted by Kiana! "Hey Kiana," she smirked.
"Oh, shut up," Kiana grinned. "Like you use your real name either."
Raven shrugged. "Just Crow," she smirked.
"Go get changed already cause I'm just dying to hear the new song!" She played dead but then stood up laughing.
BB listened to this while on the wall (as a fly).
A Few Minutes LaterKiana stepped on stage. "And now I would like you to give a warm welcome to Ravie the one and only Raven!"
Everyone cheered and when BB saw it was Raven he stared in shock. No. Freakin. Way.
"This is called, 'When This Started." Raven spoke. She wore some black cargo pants, a purple tank shirt and wore her hair up in a ponytail.
When this started
I didn't like you
When this started
I didn't hate you
You annoyed me
Tried to open me up
You told jokes to me
And I didn't care
I ignored you
As best I could
You kept on trying though
As best you could
I tried insulting you
With my sarcastic ways
And I never did
Give you the time of day
How can you keep on trying
When I always shut you out
How can you keep on trying
I'll never figure it out
When this started
I didn't like you
When this started
I didn't hate you
Now we're friends
But you keep on trying
What is it that you want
Cause I don't know what to do
What is you want
That you want me to do
We get along now
Not that much though
Only as much as I care if you're hurt
And whether you're a jerk
I care if you're sad
Or depressed
Or just mad
I care about you
Now it's gotten that bad
When this started
I didn't like you
When this started
I didn't hate you
Now we're friends
But you keep on trying
What is it that you want
Cause I don't know what to do
What is you want
That you want me to do
Can I help you
Like you helped me
You did me a favor
By helping me then
Now it's my turn
I just need to know when
When you're sad
I'll be there
When you're mad
I'll be there
I just wanna be the one
Who's gonna help you right there
How can this be
How did this happen
When this started
I didn't hate you
Like you
Love you
But now all I can do
Is think about you
But you keep on trying
What is it that you want
Cause I don't know what to do
What is it you want
That you want me to do
Is this what you want
Wanted my love
When this all started
I didn't love you
But was it really
That you loved me too
When this started
I didn't like you
When this started
I didn't hate you
How can this be
How did this happen
When this started
I didn't hate you
Like you
Love you
But now all I can do
Is think about you
Now we're friends
But you keep on trying
What is it that you want
Cause I don't know what to do
What is you want
That you want me to do
Is this what you want
Wanted my love
When this all started
I didn't love you
But was it really
Why you kept trying
When this all started
You loved me too
Everyone clapped and cheered.
Beast Boy changed into a fly again and followed Raven into the back room where Kiana was.
"So Crow's a no show or did he actually come on time for once?"
"He's on stage; on time," Kiana was stretched out on the couch. "So what's up with you, Rae? Was it BB again?"
The changling stared at the goth.
"He's up to something. I just know it," she frowned.
"You are so obsessed!" The girl grinned.
"WHAT! I am not. I simply…."
"Just wanna know what he does almost 247 and considering you read his mind everyday and talk about him all the time, I'm getting the vibe that you are so crushin' on …."
"I do not always talk about him and I do not read his mind everyday!" Raven stood up, glaring.
BB sweat dropped.
Kiana smirked, "You only skipped yesterday, didn't you?"
The dark titan frowned angrily and sat down without answering.
"Come on, where you think the inspiration for that song came from! You're the only one that wrote it!" She laughed.
Raven stayed silent as she folded her arms.
Does Raven really like me?
Raven stood up, expression neutral. She looked around.
"What is it?"
The green teen sweat dropped.
"I thought….. No, never mind. It couldn't be." She sat back down.
"Aw come on, tell me."
"I thought I heard BB think but I couldn't possible hear him."
"Hey, remember when you thought you couldn't read his mind?"
Raven showed a shadow of a smile. "I was reading his mind but there was nothing in there."
So I really wasn't thinking?
Crow stepped in, "Hey Rae whats wrong?"
"She keeps hearing her boyfriend's thoughts." She looked up at him.
He had long jet black hair and pale skin and was a little shorter than Kiana but taller than Raven. "Really," he smirked.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND GOD DAMNIT!"
"But you do hear his thoughts," the dark boy smirked.
"I'm leaving," Raven stormed out.
"I'll call you next concert, k?" Kiana shook her head.
"Whatever."
"She so likes him."
"Diffenatly," Crow smiled.
Not bad, not bad. I like it, I like it. REVIEW PEOPLES! I NEED REVIEWS! Just like you other authors out there. NEED AT LEAST FIVE REVIEWS!
