Chapter 5: Teen Titans

I finally reached my dorm and lay on my bed. Roy was looking at me confused. I needed to tell him why I came here.

"I didn't come here to unpack you know." I said burying my face into my pillow. I gave a light chuckle.

"I know that." I looked at him as he picked up a photo.

"Hey, don't touch that!" I said snatching it away. He grinned.

"Why, your girlfriend?" I sighed. I sat back down and stared at the photo for a long time until Roy came to sit down next to me.

"No, but she was my crush." I stated simply not looking away from the photo. Roy too looked and a frown appeared on his face.

"I know this might sound weird but, that girl looks like Kori…" I chuckled. Roy looked at me and gasped.

"Wait wait wait wait wait…don't tell me that is…" I looked at him. Roy laughed and wiped away some falling tears.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." He stopped smiling and placed his hand lazily on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Richard. I never knew that, wait, dick heart starfire?" I blushed and smiled.

"Yeah…that's our nick in el school." Roy arched a brow.

"Elementary…" I hit his head.

"I knew that!" he said rubbing his head. I chuckled weakly. "So, you once knew kori and now you see her, you're hurt?" I sighed. Man this guy is annoying.

"Not hurt because I see her, hurt because…"

"She's with Red." I nodded my head keeping eye contact with this picture. I patted my shoulder.

"Richard, don't worry, they are not serious at all…I mean, Xavier always dump her for another girl but that only happens with alcohol, meaning Kori doesn't think much about it. No one supports them." I force a smile on my face.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Everyone else here are so…glaring daggers at me…but not you and your gang. Why?" Roy stood up and walked towards the window watching his gang. I just knew we could see them.

"Let's just say we are all the same…" I arched a brow at him.

"Kori, too shy, Xavier, too flirty, Victor, Karen's in the gang, Karen, different skinned, Rachel, Goth, Garfield, weak, and me…too over myself." I chuckled.

"So everyone has their own problems, but not all the others are perfect. They are like you too, like all of us. So why hide?"

"The same reason you are." I shook my head.

"I hide because everyone hates…him…" Roy sighed.

"I hide because everyone…hates my dad too. The drunk alcoholic." I smiled.

"Looks like we have something in common, my friend." He looked at me and my smile went away. "Sorry, it's just an expression."

"I am your friend, Richard. We all are. Welcome to the Nastit." I frowned.

"Nastit?" Roy rolled his eyes. "It was supposed to be Daggers, but X hated it so he renamed it to Nastit. We have no idea why.

"Nastit? Why not Titans?" Roy clapped his hands together.

"Titans, THAT'S IT! Welcome to the Titans!" I stopped him.

"Wait, it's only a suggestion. I mean, Xavier named this team." Roy walked away.

"Follow me, we got some naming to do…friend!" I smiled.

"Wouldn't miss it!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I followed Roy back to the others and stopped straight away. I couldn't handle it. Kori was in front of Xavier while Xavier was kissing her neck. I took a deep breath and force a smile on my face.

"Attention umm…Nastit!" Everyone looked at Roy. "Richard has a suggestion." They then look at me.

"Umm…Roy maybe you should tell I mean, I wasn't serious about changing the teams name!" Xavier stood up.

"Who said you are on the team?" Xavier questioned folding his arm. I felt insulted.

"I do!" both Kori and Roy shouted. "Tell me, what is this name you have in mind. When you're in the gang, you share ideas." I rubbed my arm.

"Uhh…Titans?" Kori gasped.

"That is most wonderful!" Victor laughed.

"The…Teen Titans! I like that!" he said hitting my back. I chuckled and whispered… "Oww…"

"Oh, sorry buddy. Didn't know my own strength." Victor apologized. I shook my head.

"No prob!" Karen wrapped her arms around Victor's waist I wished Kori was doing that to me.

"Yeah, who votes for Titans…I meant the Teen Titans?" everyone cheered besides Xavier.

"Not all members agree…." He mumbled. "So Nastit is still on…"

"Come on, Xavy! Teen Titans sounds way better than uh…Nastit!" Kori said tugging his shirt like a 3 year old. I smiled. 'She likes my plan' I saw Xavier frowning and went away.

"Fine, but I quit!" Kori felt hurt. I decided to stop him.

"Xavier, don't! Fine, we'll stick with Nastit then." Xavier pushed me making me fall onto the ground.

"Who ever said you were on the team? Only two people but not everyone!"

"Xavier!" someone shouted. "He is in the gang and that's final!"

"Well, well, well. Seems like Garfy manage to shout at someone." Xavier said rolling his eyes.

"Hey!" everyone began fighting but I sat down next to the Goth, Rachel watching them fight.

"Are they always like this?" Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Mostly it is Vic and Gar but since you arrive, it's all…" I felt…hurt. I decided to do something.

"EVERYONE!" the fight stopped. "If this is all because of me, why don't you just reject me?"

"Because we want you in." Karen said. Xavier pushed her to the ground.

"I started this gang and I can end it!" Kori frowned and shouted at him. Everyone stayed quiet.

"RED, you are a horrible person! Yes you did start this team and yes you can break it up but there's one thing you don't know." Xavier waited for her to continue.

"Richard is a way better leader than you so just back off and get the hell out of here!" I smiled while Xavier fumed.

"Fine! Who needs you dick heads anyways?" with that, Xavier left without saying anything else. I ran after him but was stopped by Roy.

"Let him go, Richard. He doesn't belong in this gang anyways. I mean, he's too bossy."

"It's not that, Roy." I whispered. Roy looked at me as I point to Kori. I sighed.

"Oh…" With that, he went to chat with the guys. I watched Kori hugged herself still staring at where Xavier left him. I think I need to talk to her.

"Kori?" she looked at me.

"Oh, hey Dick."

"You ok?" I asked. She nodded.

"The slut needs to cool down." Speaking of him, I dragged her away to a dark corridor.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I thought you say we could start over? Why haven't you told me you have a boyfriend already? And why did you ask me to be one?" I questioned her angrily.

"I….never said we could be together!" she fought back. I gripped both of her hands.

"But you said…"

"Yes I did say we could start over, but I didn't say we are together. I meant being friends Richard, not crushes…" She then walked away leaving me alone in the hallway.

"Kori!" too late, she was gone. I kneeled down shocked at what I heard. My mind was in total numbness and so was my heart. She doesn't love me, I had lost her…

Here you go! Sorry for making this not what you wanted it to be but at least X quit the team right? Anyways, please review!
