Sorry for the delay! School, homework and dance class kept me from writing. Sorry again! I don't own the Teen Titans... Thank you for reading!
Just Another Day Chapter Six
The bell rang, its sound echoed throughout the school. School had started. Jennifer blew a strand of pink hair out of her face. She had died her hair pink in eighth grade and decided to keep the style. She was known all around campus for it.
Jennifer glanced at the boy next to her. Wally West, all thought she insisted on calling him the Kid Flash, had become close friends with her. His head lay on his arms, his chest raising and lowering at a steady pace. I guess he only slows down to sleep… She thought to herself as she reached over and poked him on the back of his neck. He hated that.
Wally jumped up, awake and alert, just in time to see the art teacher enter the classroom. He mouthed a silent 'thank you' to Jennifer along with a smile. She smiled back and got out her binder.
Kori got her math book out shakily. The same memory of her sister kept replaying in her mind. Over and over, a gun was pointed at her; over and over again, she ran. It haunted her every thought. The worst part, however, is that Kassidy seemed unfazed by the event. The day after the incident, she acted as if nothing had happened. Kori sighed.
She felt a light tap on her shoulder. Richard was looking at her, concern written all over his face. "Kori, are you alright?" She nodded her head, though her eyes claimed otherwise. He decided to let it slide. He would talk to her after school.
Sixth period rolled around. This could only mean one thing: PE. Raven groaned once the bell rang, signaling the students to get to their sixth period classes. She wasn't exactly what you would call sports minded. In fact, Raven hated sports. Downright hated them. Jennifer smiled at her violet haired friend. She loved bugging Raven at PE.
Jennifer, Raven and Terra were the only ones in their group of friends to have a regular PE class. The boys had sports as well as Kori and Bee. Though, two of the three longed to be on a team. Jennifer was still waiting for the results of who made the gymnastics team while Terra was planning on trying out for volleyball. That left Raven. Raven wasn't good at sports.
The only thing that Raven despised more than PE was the uniform. Gym shorts and Raven didn't mix. Terra laughed when the Goth walked out of the locker room. "Raven! You're so fashionable!" she cried, howling with laughter. Jennifer smacked the blond on the back of her head and made her way towards the field. She heard cheering to her left. Curious, Jennifer changed her direction from the field to the track.
The track was close to the pool. Cheering seemed to be coming from both settings. She peeked over the small wall into the pool area. Tristan was about to race! He looked up and smiled at his girlfriend before blowing her a kiss. She giggled and 'caught' the airborne affection. Random shouts of 'Go Agualad!" and 'Agualad rules!" came from the other swimmers.
Aqualad was a nickname of Tristan's. He was a very skilled, and extremely fast, swimmer. As a joke, the rest of his team claimed that he had special powers. They made his super hero name Aqualad. It caught on fast.
Yelling and clapping came from the track. Curiosity rising again, Jennifer jogged to the track. She pushed through the crowd to see what all the excitement was about. "What's going on?"
Another member of the track team, a sophomore, turned around, and stared at her as if she were crazy. "Wally's up next! He's the newest addition to the team, but the fastest gut the coach has ever seen! He and Roy are gonna' race! Now! It's the race of the century!"
Jennifer gasped. Wally was running. Against Roy? Roy wasn't one to go down without a fight. Especially if the fight was for his status as fastest sprinter on campus. Jennifer looked out to the track. She spotted Kid Flash and her heart fluttered a little. Wait, fluttered?
What's happening? I don't like Wally! Right? Her thoughts were interrupted by the gunshot announcing that the race had begun.
