Rachel's first class was English, which was her favorite since she adored Shakespearian theater, but after that scene at breakfast with Rose, the new girl, she couldn't help but to hope to see her again! She was interested to know who her father was and why did she and her friends killed him for? Was he a former villain that they've faced before? Hopefully not! She didn't want Rose to hate her guts forever! Rachel wanted to learn wickedness from her, not to push her away! Rachel lays her palms on her chin as she was thinking, but hopefulness came as Rose came into the classroom with her parole officer, stunning many of her classmates. Rachel sinks in her seat, embarrassed, as she caught Rose glaring at her. Garfield, noticing, leans in Rachel's ear and whispers, "Yo, what's with the new girl?"
Rachel sits up straight and growls.
"We...had a disagreement."
"Woof...and you guys told me not to stir up trouble."
"It's not my fault! She knows about us...! Apparently, we 'killed' her dad and she hates our guts."
"Who's her dad?"
"That's what I want to find out."
As Garfield tries to say another word, Rachel gives him a look as if to shut him up, because Rose was right behind him...! Sneering down his neck, she says in his ear, "Talking crap about me...Titan scum?"
Garfield jumps in his seat and yells, "How? What? Are we allowed to share the same classes as villains?"
Garfield grins as a bunch of snickers came from his classmates, but Vic and Richard shake their heads and Starfire blows a lock of reddish hair out of her eyes. Rose, raising her sword slowly to Garfield's neck, was stopped by her parole officer, who was a caramel-skinned muscular man with his long dreadlocks in a ponytail, dressed in blue, a nd he says in a husky voice, "Miss Wilson, that's not what we agreed on, remember?"
Rose sighs and goes with her officer as the teacher, Mister Stark, introduces her.
Not only was he the English teacher, but was also the tech teacher, which was beneficial since he created his Iron-Man suit by scratch...!
"Class, this is Rose Wilson. She's a former villain and is doing this youth program to help change her life of crime in the ways of good. Please treat her with respect...that goes for you, Mister Logan."
Garfield, pretending to be shocked, causes a major scene by flopping out of his seat and presses his hand on his forehead. "ME...? Cause TROUBLE...? How dare you, Tony!"
Mister Stark, growling as he runs his fingers through his soft, short black hair and says, "Mister Logan, if you don't mind but I need to start my class...! Rose, welcome to our school and I hope that will be a learning experience for you!"
Rose nods and says thank you to him, but it felt...unnatural to her since her face was scrunched up as she shook his hand. Her officer, which his name was Officer Lawson, whispers in Tony's ear that to call him if Rose goes rogue. Tony nods and the officer goes on his way before patting Rose on the head, making her sneer. She looks around and smirks as she goes and sits next...to Rachel. She tries to breathe, but as Rose sat close to her, she felt as if the rest of the air in her lungs was straining to come out. Rachel could feel Rose's face come close to hers, but she didn't look to see.
"Fancy meeting you, Raven.", she says, sarcastically.
Don't say a word, Rachel. Don't say a thing. Ignore Rose's jabbing and you'll be fine...
Rose smirks as she backs up. Rachel managed to breathe again.
Garfield says, "Rose, who's your dad?"
Rachel sucks in a breath and says, "Beastboy! I think the boys want you over there!"
Garfield looks back and shrugs. "Vic doesn't want to be bothered. And, we all know Robin wants to flirt with Star all day!"
Rose laughs and says, "You mean the rejected Elvis asshole wants to-"
"Ahem!"
Mister Stark calls for attention from his class. Rachel sits up straight and smooths out her skirt. Rose, rolling her eyes, takes a straw out of her pocket and tears up a small piece of paper. Garfield grins but Rachel didn't know what was she up to until it was too late.
Oh-no...
As Mister Stark turns around to write on the chalkboard, he says, "Today, we'll be discussing Edgar Allen Poe as we'll be reading one of his famous stories-OUCH!"
Tony feels something hit him from his neck and he turns to glare at the rest of his students, mostly Garfield. He'd assume that it was Garfield pulling his dumb ass pranks again, but little did he suspect Rose Wilson to blow the spitball at him.
"Garfield Logan, go to the principal's office!"
"What?! It wasn't me! It was-"
As Garfield was about to point to Rose, Rachel, without thinking, stands up quickly and raises her hand with her eyes closed, as she says, "I did it, Mister Stark, sir."
Mister Stark, baffled, starts to stutter, "R-r-r-Miss Roth...I-I-I, uh...you...go the principal's office."
Rachel nods as she takes the straw and goes to the office with her head down. Rose, with her eyebrow upwards, raises her hand. "Permission to escort Rachel to the office...?"
Starfire didn't trust her. "I would like to escort Raven, Mister Stark, sir!"
"Rachel's a big girl, you two.", says Tony as he rubs his neck. "She doesn't need help."
"You're forgetting something, Mister Stark. Rachel's half-demon. Come along, Rach."
As Star grabs Rachel by her wrist, she snatches it away and says, "I want Rose to escort me."
Star opens her mouth to object, but tries to hurt her sneer with a fake smile as she says in a false optimistic tone, "Sure, Rach. You're my best friend and I'm trying to protect you from danger. Rose, escort her."
"I don't need your permission.", scoffed Rose as she takes Rachel's wrist and pulls her out of the classroom.
Walking together in silence, Rose stuffs her hands in her pockets while Rachel was walking as her gaze was glued to the straw in her hand. Rolling her eyes, Rose says, "You didn't have to take the blame."
"I didn't want you to get in trouble with your officer."
"Fuck him. He gets on my nerves."
"Who's your dad...?"
"Heh. You are SO stupid! Does Slade ring a bell...?"
Rachel almost tripped on her feet.
"S-s-Slade! No wonder your last name sounds so familiar..."
Rose looks around her and runs as she still had Rachel's wrist in her grip.
"Whoa! Where are we going!?"
"Where the hell is the damn exit?"
"EXIT?! No, no, no! We're not leaving the premises!"
"Found it!"
They sneaked out of the school, unnoticed, and Rose starts to whistle as she walks. Raven nervously twirls her skirt and says, "I need you to take me back inside, please."
"You sound like a priss!"
"YOU are going to get US in MORE trouble!"
"Wah-wah! What are you gonna do? Cry to Trigon?"
Rachel's heart dropped. "How do you-"
"PLEASE! Everyone know the daughter of the big and badass Trigon! Why you think I'm talking to you in the first place instead of chopping your head off like I want to do to Starfire?"
Rachel didn't answer.
Nor did she WANT to.
"Where are we going, anyways?"
"Cuttin' class to go to the gas station. My belly needs snacks!"
Rose rubs her belly, making Rachel laugh.
She never had this much fun before with anyone before. If her father knew about this, he'd be pissed as hell! But, Rachel didn't CARE! Rachel holds on to Rose's hand and they walk out of the school together.
