----------------------------------------------------
Gar wobbled back, looking drunk, to Jinx. She was gobsmacked.
" Oh my God...how'd you? She just! What the hell !" Regaining composture he smirked.
" Fake african culture rocks" He boasted. Jinx smiled. This was such good blackmail!
--------------------------------------------------------
Just her luck for Aqualad to be on his way to the cafe. He saw the innocent kiss and before Raven could shout after him, he'd gone.
The worried girl had returned home, suddenly concious of herself. Raven lived in a small flat, the rent managed by her grandparents. It was fairly small, an acessable kitchen, newly decorated bathroom and her bedroom area was painted darkly.
Raven lit several candles and breathed in their calming scent. Today she'd got in a lot of people's way. It was an eventful day. She thought about their meeting on the bus, if she hadn't bought those cookies she probably wouldn't have ever acknowledged them. Never talked, never looked,never kissed,
" Damn!" She cursed aloud. The picture replayed in her head, she knew it was a lie but those stupid eyes!
And Giles saw. The look of betrayal on his face, it made her upset,tomorrow he'd probably demand or wimper for answers. She cared for him, even if she'd done that for Gar she still loved Aqualad...she did...didn't-
A creak was heard from down in the hallway. Raven tensed. No one else was on this floor, so that meant! Her lock clicked open, an unwanted face appeared.
" Hello sweetie..."
---------------------------------------------------------
Gar found out Jinx lived down the road from the Hiku cafe.
" Why don't you get the bus?" he'd asked.
" I prefer walking besides have you seen how Raven is in the morning!" She smiled.
Gar walked alone to the bus stop the following day. Victor was walking with Star and Rob. He'd been offered to join them but he'd kindly refused. The boy guessed he should be jealous of Vic's already tight friendship with Robin but with everything that happened yesterday maybe he should thank Vic. After all if Vic hadn't gone with Rob then Gar wouldn't have gone with Rae and Jinx and er...y'know.
Gar reflected on that. She Raven was his friend (he hoped) and he'd admit she was pretty (really pretty), in her own way...
Ah what am I thinking! She's going out with Aqualad! Suddenly the teen remembered the swimming captain owed him a swim lesson and an explanation, the green teen had brought his purple swim shorts.
The bus pulled up, Gar smiled at the driver and walked to the back. He looked around as if expecting something...he realized...
Raven wasn't there...
-----------------------------------------------------------
It's just a coincidence she doesn't turn up after you little african freak out! Gar watched as they drove past the Hi-ku cafe.
With a stroke of luck he spotted Jinx. Turning to the window behind him he waved frantically and mouthed Raven.
---------------------------------------------------
Jinx was in a happy mood, she'd only broken 2 cups this morning and she was proud. As she passed the Hi-ku cafe a school bus passed-the one Raven gets.
" Doesn't that stop here every morning?" She thought aloud. Almost to answer her quiery she spotted Gar acting like a headless chicken...a green headless chicken for that matter. Jinx stared at him akwardly.
" Wha?" Then she looked at his mouth movements.
"-Ven!"
Garfield watched her eyes widen as the bus stopped at the lights.
Rapidly the pink haired girl sprinted away from him and out of sight. Skidding on the tarmac, dodging the crowds, leaping over railings, ducking under signs, Jinx desperatly tried to get to the one place Raven would be.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bus dropped Gar off, and after the driver had one last look at Gar's new colour, it left. Before he could think about finding Jinx or going after her he was dragged out of view by non other than...Robin.
" Huh? Rob?" The boy still wore his shades but today he was clothed in a black shirt with the Batman emblem. His finger pursed over Gar's lips. They jumped behind some bushes.
" I came to warn you" Gar was confused.
" Wha?"
" Aqualad is looking for you" This was unexpected.
" It's a little early for swimming..." The bat fan shook his head.
" No. He's angry. Whatever you did he's not gonna be happy when he sees you." Garfied panicked as he looked into the looming dark of the other boy's glasses.
" I don't get why he's angry"
" Me either, but Star's distracting him while I sneak you into school."
" What about Vic?" Robin pointed to the entrance.
" He's standing there just incase Star needs him" Gar looked around, Robin led him inside, carefully avioding anyone looking like Giles. Apart from that everyone's eyes were on Gar, he realized his hood was down. Swiftly he covered his head-hoping the students would think his temporary skin change was due to the light playing with their eyes. As he inhaled the smell came back to him. Gar remembered why he was looking for Jinx.
" Hey Robin!" He called loudly.
" Gar no!" The hooded teen watched as a shadow befell him.
" Uh oh"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
" You little punk!" Gar felt like a truck had hit him. The sheer force of the blow sent him sent him skidding along the corridor into the nearest wall.God knows how his hood stayed up.
" Urg..." was all he could utter. Blood stared trickling from his nose. He heard Robin call out.
" Giles no!" Without hesitation two blows followed. One to the stomach and another to his already bloody nose! Gar's neck flew back and rebounded off the wall. Students stopped to gaze at the situation. Gar wearily wondered why Robin wasn't kicking butt yet. He felt his feet leave the floor.
" What the hell were you doing?" The hood obscured his vision.
What?What am I doing? Gar wondered. Angry about a lacking answer Aqualad gave a swift kick to Gar's shin.
" Ga!Gak!" The blows so far caught up with him and pain waved over him.
" I saw you!" Another punch to his nose.
"Saw what?" he weakly asked. Finally Robin called out for Victor. Sensing an interuption, Aqualad made his point. Venting his fury, Gar cried out as blood steamed violently from his nose-it was broken!. Groggily the beat boy feared Giles next move...before his attacker was restrained by a friendly face. Vic felt Giles' muscles shaking with rage.
" Yo man! Chill !" he exclaimed.
" Chill!" Robin repeated. Aqualad's glare pierced through Gar.
" I saw you and Raven yesterday!" The realization screamed. He'd seen him coax Raven into kissing him!
" Ah!" He spluttered holding the tip of his nose. Pain flooded quickly.
" You don't understanb!" Apparently the injury caused his speech to falter. Aqualad jabbed back, his foot kicking the small boy back again.
" Y'lil green freak!" he yelled. It took no less than 2 seconds for the entire student body to realize why Giles' had said these choice words.
Gar's hood was down!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pain ebbed through him as he lifted the hood back up- not that it mattered. Aqualad was dragged away as Robin and a grl from the crowd helped Gar up. They supported his shaking legs to the nurses office. As no one was there, Gar was laid down, a breezy feeling relaxed his not so being-beaten-up system. If he took a moment to think about it Gar had probably gotten off worse-It was probably because Giles was somewhat of a friend. One that he'd confided a secret in.
" Hand tough, I'm gonna tell the nurse your here, 'k?" She had brown hair in little braids which clung to her head and wore sunglasses. His gaze shifted from her to Robin. The glasses were quickly becoming a fashion statement.
"Hu..." he whimpered. Robin cleared up the dry blood off his neck, and tried to stop more blood coming out, but Gar's pained face stopped his attempts.
" Who wath 'at?" Gar frowned at his intelligent converation.
" That girl?" Gar nodded.
" Oh that's Rebecca Kunai-an old 'friend' Jinx" The blooded teen quetioned Robin's blushing face.
" Jinx...'friend' ?"
" Nevermind, but Jinx says she's eyeing this one lad..." He hinted at what the pink girl had said yesterday. Gar suddenly felt extremly tired.
" Bobin...Daven isnb't- be wanb't on da bussssssssss..." Gar's eye's closed and though in pain he drifted into a bumby, forced, sleep. Robin pulled away the scented tissue, unhappy about his forced sleep method, he exited the room. A minute later the nurse looked confused as she looked over Gar's injuries. A broken nose, a black eye, all on green skin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile
Out of breath but full of luck. The door to Ravem's apartment was ajar. Cautiously the girl stepped in. The apartment was unscathed-maybe it was a false alarm. Plates crashed against the wooden floor. Or not...
" Raven!" The purple headed girl was huddled in her bedsheets broken items everwhere indicated a struggle.
" Raven!" Jinx rushed to her side, immediately cradleing the girl in her arms, rocking her soothingly.
" J-jinx..." She whispered uncharacteristcally. Raven let out dry crys.
" Who did this?" Her comforter demanded. Raven didn't meet her eyes. Jinx brought her face into the window light, she was shocked! Uncountable cuts were caked in dry blood, her right eye was bloodshot and puffy. It looked like it had been punched. All her wound trailed along her right shoulder. Jinx desperatly hugged Raven.
" Please Rae! Tell me!" No reply " You can't let someone do this!" Raven was trembling.
" Tell me I can help! Who did this?" Raven faced her and stared into those candy pink eyes. She barely whispered a name, but it hit Jinx like a bomb.
" No Raven!" They sat. Silent. Then, they cried.
