What up my hommies! LOL. All right, I know the first chapter didn't really have anything Teen Titans related and I don't think the next two chapters will either, but bare with me and don't worry, once I get further into the story, you'll see the Titans kick major ass! Well, here it is; the second chapter! Yah!
Later that day, Chris and Mikey were walking to Best Buy. To not get caught by the police, they were wearing baseball caps caring old torn up backpacks they found in ta dumpster so it looks like they just came from school, and Mikey was wearing a black jacket.
"I hope they're not out of those Linkin Park CD's." Chris said to Mikey.
"Me too." Mikey said as they walked past a High School. (Okay, before I go any further, you'll read a lot of Linkin Park references since I'm like a HUGE Linkin Park fan. Like I keep on saying, I don't own Linkin Park. I so wish I did though, especially Mike Shinoda. Sigh (Goes off in a dreamy daze) Oh yeah—um, back to the story.) A couple of teens were hanging around the school; laughing and showing off there new cell phones or DS games.
"Those stupid bastards." Chris snarled as she kept on walking. Mikey stopped and leaned on the steel fence.
Chris then noticed that Mikey stopped and walked back towards him. She saw him staring at the group of teens and let out a groan.
"You're not thinking what I think you're thinking are you?" She asked.
"I'm not thinking what you think I'm thinking." He said.
"If you're not thinking what I thought you were thinking, then what were you thinking that I thought you were thinking but didn't think what I thought you thought?" (Did you get that?)
"Wait, what?" He asked confused.
Chris sighed and thought of a way to talk in a tone that Mikey would understand.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked.
"Oh." Mikey said still looking at the group of teens. "You know, maybe . . . going back to school."
"No way." Chris said walking off.
"Aw come on Chris."
"No! I'm not going back to school! Ever!" She yelled.
"But Chris."
"No! You said it yourself Mikey, you'd rather be a tramp then get sent back to school. We both made that promise."
"Chris; that was a long time ago."
"I don't care if we made it yesterday. I'm never going back."
"How come?" He asked.
Chris stopped in her tracks and turned towards her best friend. She sighed and walked towards him.
"School and I never really mixed Mikey." She told him.
"Christine Bennington! I said do your work or else I'm going to fail you!" The teacher yelled. She was an old teacher; probably in her mid forties. She had white hair that was tied up in a bun and big round glasses. She wore a navy blue dress with white flowered buttons and brown cowboy boots.
"Oh bite me old hag." Chris said leaning back in her chair.
"That's it young lady! Go to the principal's office! Now!" She screamed.
"Shut the hell up!" Chris yelled standing up in her chair.
"Young lady!"
"Old lady!" Chris shot back.
"That's it! I'm done!" She screamed as she got a hold of Chris' left ear and started dragging her to the office.
"Ow! Let me go! This is child harassment!" Chris cried.
When Chris and the teacher finally got to the principal's office, Chris was slouching in a chair with her arms crossed while the teacher told on her.
"She's not doing her work and she throws hissy fists in class."
The principal looked at Chris with a disappointed look on his face.
"Take a picture dude, it'll last longer." Chris snarled.
"Christine,"
"My name is Chris. I hate Christine." She told him.
"Okay, Chris, why are you acting like this in class? And it's not just Mrs. Higgins's class; I get complaints from all your teachers."
"It's a free country. I can choose to act the way I want "
"But this is school. You have to act politely to everyone and you must listen to the teacher. If she says to do your work, you're going to do it."
"I don't have to do anything."
The principal then looked at Chris and knew the cause of her behavior. "Chris, are you acting this way because you don't understand the assignments?"
Chris looked up at the principal and then looked down at her feet. She was silent.
"If you don't get the work, we could give you a tutor and—"
"No!" She yelled cutting him off. "I'm not getting a tutor! Tutors are for stupid people!"
"Chris, tutors can help you."
"No! I don't need one!" She screamed. Chris then paused for a second and stood up from her chair pointing at the principal. "You people are trying to call me stupid aren't you?"
"That's not what we said Chris." He told her.
"You little jerk! You're calling me stupid! Okay fine, maybe I don't get any of the work this old bat is teaching us, or any of the stuff I'm learning from my other teachers. But that doesn't make me stupid!" Chris yelled as she stormed out of the office and slammed the door.
"Wow. That's rough." Mikey said to her. Chris didn't say anything. She turned around and gave out a sigh.
"My parents would always be very disappointed in me. They always thought of me as a disgrace. And they're right. I am a disgrace."
Mikey didn't say anything. The silence he was giving Chris was a sign that he felt really sorry for her, but he didn't know how to tell her that.
Chris then started to walk away with her head down in sadness. Mikey ran after her.
"Chris, wait." He said grabbing her shoulder. "I'm sorry. If you don't want to go back to school, then I won't either. I won't even bring up a subject that has to do with school if it makes you happy."
Chris then looked up at Mikey and smiled. She then reached out and gave him a warm friendly hug.
"Thanks man."
Mikey blushed a little from the hug Chris was giving him, but then relaxed his body and hugged her back.
"No prob."
They then let go of each other and smiled until they heard teasing 'oohs' and 'aws' from the group of teens. One teen even blew a loud love whistle.
"Shut the hell up!" Chris yelled at them. "We're just friends."
Mikey's face then feel when he heard Chris.
"Friends?"
"Come on Mikey." Chris said grabbing his arm as they started walking.
"Why am I so disappointed? Of coarse Chris is my friend. But why is it when I look at her, I get this . . . desire? This painful—yet enjoyable desire; to be near her, to touch her, to hold her in my arms when she's sad and calm her down and see her smile at me."
Mikey then thought when Chris hugged him. He smiled and blushed again thinking of that warm feeling that took over his body at that moment. (Everybody go 'aw!'. Melissa, you're probably laughing at how cheesy this is. I don't blame you, it is kinda cheesy. Laugh)
"What were your parents like?" Chris asked.
"Huh?" Mikey asked trying to come back to reality.
"Your parents, what were they like?"
"Oh. I don't know." He said. "My mom and dad were always fighting with each other. My dad would always be drunk and my mom worked at three different jobs, so I didn't see her that much."
"Yikes. And I thought my life sucked."
"What about yours?"
"Other then them being so pissed of at me all the time and giving me lectures on how I should be more like my two older sisters Elie and Ai, they were pretty nice. My mom was very pretty. She had nice long shinny hair that was a goldish brown color like Elie's and it always smelled very nice. Her eyes were very nice too. My dad said I have her eyes."
Mikey looked into Chris' light-blue eyes and smiled. "She must've had beautiful eyes then."
Chris looked at Mikey in confusion and then turned around and blushed a little. "You—really think I have beautiful eyes?" Mikey smiled at her and nodded his head yes. Chris smiled. "Thanks."
Chris then looked away and from Mikey still smiling a little and then changed the subject. "Um, people say that I'm more like my dad though. I have his hair, skin, stupidity." She laughed.
"I don't think you're stupid Chris." Mikey told her.
"Really?" She asked.
Mikey nodded his head. "A little crazy, but not stupid."
"Hey!" She laughed giving Mikey a playful punch.
Aw, wasn't that cute. Sorry about the cheesy lovey dovey scene. If you didn't like it, then I'm terribly sorry and try to keep the lovey dovey stuff to a minimum. Oh, and here's a little preview on what'll happen in the next chapter.
When Chris and Mikey finally get to Best Buy, they get caught by the police for steeling a CD. After Chris punches the police man in the face, they run for their lives trying to hide from the police. How will Mikey react to her stupid move and how are they going to avoid the police if they're spread all over the city looking for them?
If it doesn't sound interesting, don't worry, it will. This chapter has a lot of action in it and don't worry, I'm getting closer and closer to having the Titans in this story. And Corey, your character is coming up real soon!
