" What the hell was that about?" Robin screamed at a calmer Giles. The swim captain sat on the floor, along with Starfire in the swimming hall. Robin was playing Bad cop.
" You came in this morning a total hot head! Practically announcing Gar's Funeral plans, WITH NO VALID REASON" Giles refused to talk. Robin crouched down to his level.
" Gar is up in the Nurse's office because of something you think was wrong" Through his shades Robin gave Aqualad a stern glare.
" Is it so bad you cannot tell us?" Starfire patted Aqualad's back. " Please friend, we only wish to help"
The refusing boy glanced at the duo and sighed.
" He made...I...she...I saw Raven...kiss him." This information surprised them, but to beat up Gar because of it...wasn't Raven to blame as well?
He felt like someone was scraping his eyes open. Soon the reality of the fight was brought up.
At least I didn't ram him down He thought. Bringing his hand to the bridge of his nose, he felt I plaster like material, keeping his painful and dysfunctional nose in place.
" Urn" he moaned. Sitting up he became dizzy. Gar wearily looked around at pale green walls. He lay on a purple covered bed, posters of bands were covering the floor, discarded. He recognized this place!
"Why am I at home?" His voice croaked, as he tried to get out a clear sentence. Feet thundered up the stairs.
" Garfield! Your ok!" His mother burst in with a tray of food, placing it down she hugged him.
" Oh I was so worried!" she squeaked. Gar felt dizzy again.
" Mom...why am I at home?" He hoped she could understand what he was saying. His mother gave him some water.
" You passed out after your injury- I hope they don't let that dreadful boy get away with this"
"What was it for? Why was I...?" dropping the plastic glass he bolted for the door.
" I gotta tell Aqua- I mean Giles about Raven!" But seeing his mothers blank stare it was obvious she didn't quite catch what he was saying, as he ran out of the house. Without Rae's hoody...
Gar got to school as the final bell went (he ran to school).He expressed his concern to his new friends but they shrugged it off. They also suggested he rested up. Victor went into a hype about today's scout. Apparently after Gar's bust up he'd gone to the gym in form time to shoot some hoops... and the coach had saw him !
" Dude! He wants me at training-ON the team!" Gar tried to be happy for his friend but he was still worried.
He was still worried when Raven didn't turn up the next day, and Jinx wouldn't reveal her whereabouts.
In fact Gar didn't see her until Friday, Raven sat alone in the Hi-ku cafe.
" Hey " The girl's head jerked up. Gar stared at her face. There was still some faint cuts and her eye was slightly bloodshot.
" You haven't been in all week" he stated. " I was worried " She watched him place her hoody on the table.
" What happened? Aqualad's been in a total paddy! On a blinkin' rampage! I haven't been able to set a foot in the swimming hall ever since he beat me up!" This turned Raven's attention.
" He what?" Even Gar shuddered. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything.
" He-we fought on...Tuesday because he saw us in here and..." He muttered something inaudible next.
" What?" Gar sat down and tenderly placed a hand over his plastered nose.
" He sort of...broke my nose"
' I'll kill him' She thought as she fought back emotion. Raven noticed how Gar was wincing.
Sighing Gar heard the word " Babysitting" slip out of her mouth.
" Lean over" Obediently he edged forward. She peeled off the plaster.
" Hey you can't-" Raven silenced him. Her warm hand slid on the brake age. A tingling sensation filled his face, his nose felt a lot better. Raven pulled her hand back.
" Wha?" But the only response he got was her rubbing her own nose." Huh?"
" Listen Gar, your not alone, there are more people like you...like...us."
"Like us.."
Garfield stood up to leave, Raven made no attempt to follow.
" Thanks. Are you coming to school on Monday?"
" Yes" Gar brightened.
" Oh and Vic wants you to come to his first game next week !"
" Who's it against?"
" er...a Deathstroke academy I think..." Unaware to him Raven stiffened at the sound of that school, their students, that headmaster. They were worse than H.A.Y.E.P. Prep school. Something came to mind.
" I talked to Giles yesterday on the phone...he shouldn't be so angry."Gar listened.
" What about?"
" Your first swim Gala-The same night as Vic's game."
" Awwwww"
" Against Deathstroke- Your his first swim choice. Get practicing"
His first swim Gala...and Aqualad chose him!
As promised Raven turned up on Monday. Her eye looked slightly better when Jinx checked it. In fact Jinx was with her for most of the day, even when they went down to see her two "friends" go swimming.
After Aqualad had repeatedly apologized to him, Gar found out that their Gala against Deathstroke was a tag race. So both competitors would go a length and back then straight after the other would go.
Gar was going first so he had to be able to move when Aqualad dived or SPLAT! It was still terrible when Jinx and Raven joined their company.
Jinx wore a black patterned skirt and a purple tank top. Raven, surprisingly, walked in wearing a knee length black skirt and a red t-shirt which said " I had superpowers until my therapist took them away" on it. The boys took one look and sniggered.
Garfield had eventually got an explanation about the talking to fish or telepathy as Giles referred it as. Aqualad's power was water based so he could breathe in under water and use telepathy to communicate to sea creatures. But Gar had been totally blocked on the "how did you get your powers?" front though.
Raven saw them laughing and wickedly smirked at Jinx, like they read each others thoughts. It was a quo.
" AAH! Gay PERV!" Jinx yelled. Immediately the boy's turned around covering up with their towels.
"WHERE?" They said in unison. They didn't see much of anything as they were pushed into the pool by to dominant girls.
" In the pool" Raven said coolly.
" No fair you got us worried!" He held up a wet towel.
" How are we gonna dry off?"Gar pouted.
" Shake it off like a dog?" Raven retorted sarcastically. Jinx was the only one not to get the joke.
" This means war Rae!" Giles joked.
" Yeah!" Gar splashed water on the side. " Viva la Boys!"
It took 10 seconds for a fully fledged water fight to start. The girls were prepared because they were doing dance in their own clothes. As the boys got out to try and dry off the girl's started wondering...
" Where's Star and Robin?"
hahahahaha gonna cut it off there because I don't have enough time tonight. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and get ready for numbah 12 soon! Here's the questions! What about Star and Robin? Will we finally see anything of the dance? What about Vic? And maybe just maybe we will learn more about the secrecy that Surrounds Jump High for the gifted...? Next time! Remember ppl Read and Review!
