The school pool was only occupied by one student. This was Giles Falls, Captain of the water sports division and holder of 4 inter-school swimming records. He wasn't wearing his usual blue and silver wet suit today, instead he dressed casual. A white save the dolphins t-shirt and light blue shorts, he preferred sandals to trainers.
Raven and Gar entered as Giles washed the sides of the pool. His head popped up like a 6th sense.
" Ah! Raven, how nice of you to visit me!" His black pupils turned to Gar. " And you brought a friend" This time his tone sounded a bit off. Gar felt rrreeeaaalllllyyyy small.
" Giles, this is Garfield. He's wondering if you'd let him join the swimming team." There was a slight demanding flicker in her eyes.
" Try-outs aren't until next week..." Gar could have sworn he heard Raven cough. "...but I guess I could help him out ahead of schedule."
" Dude!" Gar's approval echoed. Giles handed him a slip of paper and entered, what Raven called 'the mode'.
" Ok tommorow I want you here at break and after school" Gar looked at the slip. It was a parental form.
" From then on you must have your swim wear with you at all times." Giles sounded like an army officer.
Vic was right he's one of those coaches...
" Sure thing G' !" The swim coach smiled.
" Gar, please, call me Aqualad." Both boys shook hands.
" Won't let ya down coach!" Aqualad returned to mopping the floor. Raven told Gar to meet up with Vic and Jinx. Aqualad smirked as Gar left.
" Want some alone time Rae? You only had to ask." The smile never left his face.
" Can't say I don't but...we have other matters." Raven handed out a clip of paper, it looked official and a picture was stapled to it.
" Were re-doing it just like last year, if you want it altered hand in one you've written to Me or Jinx" The boy nodded but lost the serious expression as fast as it had come.
" About You and me anyway..." He wrapped her into a cautious hug. " I was wondering tonight or whenever If you wanted to go out to eat then maybe..." Raven's arms were placed around his neck.
" ...take a walk on the beach?" she guessed.
" Only if you want to put up with me"
" Love to. Gives me an excuse to get outside." Affectionately Aqualad kissed the girls forehead. There was a silence so the swimmer smiled.
" Well done Rae, well done"

Garfield quickly found Jinx and the others in the library. Apparently Robin had been talking about th Judo club for 15 mins.
" ...there's grading going on at the moment so it'd be easier to join next month so that I can so you around and introduce you to Sensei Sarasim, she's the main teacher." Robin waved at Gar who sat in a yellow bean bag chair.
" Jinx here is a natural, one of the best, apart from me" Jinx rolled her eyes and muttered something along the lines of ; Whatever wonderbird !
" What about you Gar? Did Raven get you in the swim club?" Proudly Gar nodded.
" Yeah! Aqualad's helping me along but it looks like I'll still have to do the trials."
" Hey don't worry!" Jinx spoke. " I'm sure you'll do just fine!" Vic nodded.
" Yeah." Robin's head turned. " Where's Star and Raven?" The 4 found neither were with them.
"I think Starsaid she'd bewith her Uncle but Hell knows where Raven is" Vic exclaimed. Jinx arched her back at his choice words.
" Raven went the pool with me..."
Pop! Jinx blew a bubble in her gum.
" Then she's with Aqualad" The girl stated. Gar then spoke up.
" Do they?...are they like...together?" He asked nervously as he saw Jinx ponder on the question.
" hmmm It's a complicated relationship, for Raven anyway, Aqualad was the one who asked her " Gar couldn't help but puzzle.
A simple no or yes would have done! He thought.
A familiar bell went.
" C'mon Gar we've got Tech back with Galfore!" Jinx spat her gum in the bin. Gar waved off Vic and Rob.
" We've got Geography" Robin started walking. Vic stopped Gar and Whispered;
" I gotta talk to you at lunch, it's important" The changeling nodded.
" See ya then!"

Raven arrived early for Galfore's tech class. Aqualad had his Science lesson so he'd had to rush off. Well he did have a attendance reputation to keep up. This months tecnology project was woodwork, they were going to craft small wooden sculptures. Only simple ones like smiley faced pencil toppers but for the more talented class members a.k.a Raven were crafting animals.
As she was the first to arrive Raven decided to check off a few things. A printed register popped out of her pocket. Raven crossed out a few.
" Jinx. Done. Aqualad. In progress. Starfir-"
" What cha doing?" Raven supressed a startled jump to snapping her pencil in half. It was Garfield.
" Who is Garth Montague?" The boy was reading over her shoulder!
" Nothing to do with you" Her harsh words brought the intended action. Stepping away. She took this opportunity to hide the paper again.
" Ooooo Is it a party list? Galfore's student records?Am I on it?" Gar's questions were like a conveyer belt. On going.
" No. Sort of. Haven't looked." She repiled with as little emotion as she could. Senseing that was all he was gonna get Gar moved to his locker.
That was a little harsh in my opinion .He thought. She wasn't like that before... Gar remembered something.
" Hey Raven I forgot to thankyou for before y'know getting those sessions for me" Her head didn't move.
" Your welcome" Within seconds Jinx, Starfire and Galfore also entered.
Well it's a start! He conculeded.
Galfore's tech class was...interesting. Gar learn't how to use various tools, everyone had a laugh at Starfire's attempt on the sander when it backfired. Gar's plan was to make a hollow egg out of wood with little doors so you could put sweets inside.
The others were making things like birds, coat hangers and mini models. To Gar's delight but dislike the lesson ended and it was time for lunch. Vic wanted to talk to him, hopefully he could learn a bit more about Robin and Jinx. Heck Raven might sit next to him!
