"This is stupid. Can we go HOME?"
"Rachel, shut up or else I'll do something that'll make the damn school call my parole officer."
"Will you two SHUT UP? We're gonna get caught if you two bitches fuck up this mission!"
"Hey! Who's the boss here!?"
Rachel groans while Jinx quickly shuts her mouth, zipping it and throwing away the key. Rose rolls her eyes.
"Goddamn, you sound like Harley...!"
Jinx smiles in Rose's face. "Want me to do another impression?"
"No...! PLEASE don't."
Jinx sulks and says, "I didn't miss my Wally-pooh's football practice to be scowled at."
Rose gave her a 'piss off' face and goes around the school, pointing to a dumpster, near the teacher's lounge.
"Perfect…got the matches, Jinx?", asks Rose.
Jinx held up the matches with a crazed look in her eye.
"Rach? You got the-"
"Gas fuel? Yea. Had to sneak it here in a gym bag!"
Rose laughs and pats Rachel on the back. "Atta girl!"
Rachel rolls her eyes and struggles to get the gas fuel out of the purple gym bag. Rose helps her out, their shoulder blades touching. Rachel blushes as she looks at Rose, who was carrying the gas tank without struggling. Oh, how Rachel wished to be something like Rose Wilson. The girl whose father was murdered because of her and the Titans. Rachel shakes the Titans out of her mind. She shouldn't think of them. Especially Starfire. She mentally hiss at the sound of her name. Damn Starfire. How dare she judge her life decisions? She wanted to have fun, and now her own best FRIEND was holding her back. Starfire acts like as if Rachel was hanging out with Garfield! Ugh. Nope. Stop. Garfield...was a lot (and I mean, a LOT) of things...and hanging out with him AND Vic would be a stretch. Rachel looks up when she hears Rose call her name out loud. Rachel comes over to her an Jinx as Rose dumps a shitload of fuel inside of the half-full dumpster. Rachel was covering her eyes as Rose asked Jinx for the matches. Jinx, her crazed look still on her face, hands her the matches while massaging her face. Clearly, her face had froze. Rose, lighting up the match, held it up to her face as she stares at the flame, mumbling, "If only the Titans were in this dumpster...", making Rachel cringe, and she throws the match inside, the flames burst with the contents inside. Rose, admiring the fire, was being pulled by Rachel, indicating that they have to leave before they got hurt and caught by the teachers. The three girls ran out of the alleyway, panting as they stopped midway without being caught. Rose kisses Rachel, making Jinx drop her jaw, and says excitedly, "WHOO! We're like the Charlie's Angels! But, badder, sexier and savage!"
Rachel grins and says, "Well...that was...successful."
"Strangely successful.", says Jinx, before dying of crazed laughter. "Wait 'til I tell Wally!"
Rose, slapping Rachel on the back, says, "Good job...Raven."
Rachel blushes and kisses Rose. Before being apprehended by Mister Starks...
Rose curses under her breath, Rachel groans, and Jinx frowns.
Mister Starks beckons his finger as he grabs Rose, who held out her hand towards Rachel. She grabs it and holds on to it, with Rose rotating her thumb around. Rachel mentally shivers. This wasn't what she was expecting.
As Mister Starks guides them into the principal office, where Mister Kent was expecting them, Rachel sat in her chair, cringe-like, while Jinx was humming in her chair and Rose chose to stand.
Mister Kent, his eyes glaring at the girls through his glasses, his black hair greased with a curly lock in front, clears his throat and says, "We've heard that you girls were planning to set dumpster fires..."
"They have, sir.", says Mister Starks. "I've managed to call the fire department."
Rose put her head down.
"Is there anything you girls want to say?", asks Mister Kent.
"We've been framed!", says Jinx.
Rachel sinks lower in her seat. Mister Starks pulls her up.
"I've suspected YOU two, especially Rose, since she has a record, but you've managed to get Rachel, my star student, involved in your stupid shenanigans...Why not Garfield?"
"One, he can't keep a secret. And Two, he's a boy!", says Jinx.
Rachel leans in and whispers in her ear, "I think he was being rhetorical."
"Dude, you know I don't know big words!"
"He's joking, dumb ass!", says Rose, eavesdropping.
"Oh, why do you have to hurt my feelings!", complains Jinx before shutting her mouth since the principal was RIGHT THERE.
He takes off his glasses, cleans them as he says, "Detention for two weeks."
"This isn't-"
"Miss Wilson, we have a way of doing things here at Jump City Academy, and if you intend to stay here and this not go to your parole officer, you respect our rules. Got it?"
Rose growls but she nods slowly with her eyes closed, holding in her breath. Rachel looks at her. Was Rose about to cry...?
Mister Kent says, "Go on."
The girl left, Jinx glaring at Mister Starks, but he takes Rachel and closes the door.
"Rachel, you're a bright girl. Don't hang out with kids like them, okay?"
"Yes, sir."
"Tony's right, Rachel. Miss Roth, your grades are amazingly GREAT. Likely Harvard great! Please don't squander your chances on going to a great college."
She nods. "Yes, sir. Can I go now please?"
Mister Kent nods and waves. Rachel waves back and closes the door as she left, bumping into an angry Rose, but she noticed that Jinx has left.
"You're gonna avoid me now."
"N-no! I'd-"
"Shut your face."
Rachel closes her mouth and looks at her feet.
Rose smirks and laughs to herself. "Can't believe that every time I meet someone who ants to BE with me, they always stab me in the fuckin' back!"
"Rose, I'm not-"
Rose drew her sword to Rachel's neck, tears in her eyes as she says, "Stay...away...from me."
Rose puts her sword away as Rachel was trembling. She turns to storm off.
Rachel stood there, scared and trembling.
What...did she do...?
"How the detention sound, Rachel?"
She jumps at the sound of a female. She turns to see Starfire with a smirk on her face.
"Starfire…? You set us UP?"
"Yep. How does revenge feel?"
"I didn't-"
"Oh, don't say 'you didn't do anything' because you did! Hanging out with-scratch that-MAKING OUT with Rose is what you DID."
"Me and Rose are NONE of your concern."
"Yea, it IS since you're my best friend!"
"WERE your best friend."
Starfire glares at her. "So that's it?"
IS it really the end?
Rachel glares back at Starfire...and nods slowly. "Yes."
Starfire laughs and holds on to her ribs before glaring again. "Ok. Fine. Be with Rose. Hope karma hits you in the ass."
Starfire leaves Rachel in her thoughts as she storms off.
