AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH! SOOOOOOOOOO SORRY I NEVER UPDATED! Yeah… um… I've been way too busy with school, and ever since I joined a bunch of other websites my dedication to fanfiction has slipped by… a lot. But here's the eighth chapter, but before that I have some issues to cover.

Whoever kept swearing at me for "putting Robin with Brittany"… I wasn't serious. There wasn't any need to be so upset… you couldn't have been seriously hurt, could you? My goodness, some people on here have issues… :(

Don't ever tell me any couple I like is gay. Just don't. I don't care if you like the story, don't tell me CyRae is gay. It ticks me off.

Don't beg me for an update. It doesn't make me go any faster, and this little adventure between chapters 7 and 8 has proven it. Don't get my wrong, I'm very glad you like my story and I'm happy that you would love to read the rest, but sometimes lots of other things come before fanfiction. That's just the way my life works. Get used to it. Please. Now for the chapter!

Chapter 8: Lunches and the End of the Day

The bell for first lunch rang and exactly 10:35. Beast Boy and Terra headed towards the cafeteria with Megan and Alan, the twins they had made friends with earlier in the day. They ended up finding Raven with the dark teenager she had made friends with.

Alan pointed at Myra. "Hey, don't we know her?"

"I think she's that outcast-emo-goth girl in the class above us," Megan answered. "I think her name's Myra. She's the one that's always with Clive, the real smart dude. Except… she's not with him now…"

"They must not be in the same lunch," Alan figured. "Clive's such a weirdo, though. It makes sense the two would hang out with each other, though."

Beast Boy asked Terra, "Dude, if she's the outcast that always hangs out with whoever, then what's she doing with Raven?"

"I don't know, Gar. I guess they became friends. I'm just glad Raven made a friend. She'd probably shoot herself without someone else to hang around with." She waved for the others to follow her. "Come on, guys! Let's sit with them and we can all meet each other."

Beast Boy sighed. "Fine…" They got to the table and sat in some empty seats.

Raven looked up and said, "Hi, Tara. Hi, Gar." She pointed to her friend. "This is Myra."

Myra looked at both of them. "Nice to meet you both. Now, who are the guys next to you?"

Terra gestured her hand across to the other two. "This is Alan and Megan. We met in Algebra."

Megan smiled. "It's good to meet all of you." She noticed Alan's bored expression, so she nudged his elbow.

He sighed after being nudged, then eventually answered, "Sure. Good to meet so many new people." Megan only rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Beast Boy could not help but stare at Myra's dead black hair. "Dude, is your hair like that… naturally?"

Myra answered straightforwardly, "Actually, my hair is naturally blonde. I just have to dye it black every time it grows out a little bit."

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Really? I can't picture you as a blonde. You look better with black hair."

"Too bad my parents don't. I mean, even Clive likes it better black! But that might be because Brittany's hair is blonde…"

Terra became slightly startled. "Brittany!"

Raven responded, "Yes, the famous long-lost friend of Dick's does go here. And she's really annoying."

"Does she help stereotype blondes?"

"Yes," Myra answered immediately. "But that doesn't mean you have to dye your hair because of it. If you're cool enough, you might be able to counter her reputation."

Terra only sighed in irritation, but then smiled at Myra's compliment.

"Oh yeah, I know who Brittany is," Megan added. "She's really annoying. And racist," she finished with a frown.

"Sounds like Brittany's some sort of horrible test human-demon gone berserk," Beast Boy joked.

"Yep. She liked to tell me racist jokes to my face back in middle school, along with anyone else who wasn't white."

"That's horrible…" Terra stated in shock. "How dare she!"

"I would've beat her up," Alan started, "but she's a chick, and it's really not my job, or my thing, to beat up chicks. Besides, Meg here can handle her herself."

"Sure can. But all that's behind me now. But I hope she gets expelled."

Myra nodded. "Clive's been trying to plot a way for her to get in so much trouble that she'd get expelled from school. But all his plans always look like they're going to fail miserably. He's been taking a break, but he'll probably start up again at some point in the near future."

Beast Boy gobbled down half of his tofu burger and asked with his mouth full, "Who's Clive?"

Terra elbowed him. "Chew your food! That's disgusting!"

"Clive's your friend, right?" Megan asked politely.

"Yes, he's my friend. He's the guy that likes to hunch over and laugh. He's also becoming friends with Dick… I thought it was pretty weird though, because normally people will get scared away from him at first."

"Yeah, well, Dick's not exactly the type to run away from someone who approaches him, no matter how weird he is," Raven explained. "If anything, he'll just get freaked out and freeze, but he'll be polite."

Beast Boy nodded. "Poor guy… too bad I wasn't there to protect him…" He looked up to see Myra kind of glaring at him. He smiled. "Oops, my bad…"

"Gar, honestly… couldn't you be a little more considerate?" Terra looked at Myra in the eye. "Sorry about him. He doesn't know when to open his mouth sometimes. But that's what I'm here for!" she finished with a smile.

"Thank God… because that used to be my job…" Raven remarked.

"Right…" he answered. He changed the subject. "So… how's Kori with this Brittany thing?"

Myra jumped in. "Kori's taking it maturely and so far hasn't run out of patience. Brittany, on the other hand, isn't taking it so well…"

At that moment, Cyborg came to the table with Jack and sat down next to Raven. "Yo! What's up?" He wrapped his arm around Raven's shoulder.

"We're all fine," she responded. "We're just eating lunch here…"

"Now I remember you and your friend met Jack, but… what about the rest of you?"

"Victor!" Gar exclaimed. "Wassup? Meet Alan and Megan, the sweet new dude and dudette of this table!"

"Hey, any friend of Gar or Tara is a friend of mine. Nice to meet you."

"Thanks, man," Alan responded. Megan nodded.

Cyborg got out his beef sandwich. "Now that I think about it, Rae, I really do think that Drain became a part of the administration. It just makes sense… I mean, this whole Brittany thing, putting me in a poetry class, putting Rae here in gym…"

Myra stepped in the conversation. "Okay, I know you guys were going to tell me the answer to this question at some point, but I'm running out of patience. Who the hell is Drain! You guys keep talking about him and I have no clue who he is!"

"Drain?" Megan and Alan said in unison.

"Woah, this is starting to get weird," Jack mentioned. "I'll catch ya later, Victor. I'm gonna go back to the team's table." He walked away towards an array of sweaty football players.

Raven sighed. "It's a long story, but I'll tell you." She put down all of her food and began explaining. "Do you know who the Teen Titans are?"

Myra nodded. "Yeah, let's see… they're Robin, Starfire… Cyborg… Beast Boy… Raven…" she stopped herself, eyes becoming wide. She slouched back in her chair. "Oh…" She sat back up. "But why are you here?"

"I was just about to get there. Drain is a villain that intruded into our tower and drained away our powers. I know it may seem impossible to drain Cyborg's or Robin's abilities, but he managed to do that. But now instead of destroying us, or anything like that, he decided to send us to this school for a year. I know it's stupid, but maybe he just wants us to suffer here… I mean, it's working for the most part. But now we think that he's a new member of the administration."

Beast Boy dropped his burger and added, "Yeah, I heard there was supposed to be some new guy on it. Gloria Anders told me about how the Charlie Chasers and the idiots got to be in all the same classes."

Terra asked, "Is Gloria Kori's sister? Well, you can be friends…"

"Don't worry! You're the girl for me!" Beast Boy gave her a shoulder hug.

Terra blushed. "Thanks, Gar."

Cyborg chuckled. "Now ain't that cute!" He put his arm back around Raven's shoulder.

Myra put her elbow on the table and sighed. Her hair covered her sad blue eyes. She continued to eat her sandwich as the others finished their lunches.

Soon, Megan asked her, "Hey, you ok?"

Myra snapped back to reality. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking."

Megan shrugged, but then continued eating. Lunch was over soon after that, so they each headed to their next classes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

About 20 minutes after first lunch ended, second lunch began. The second half of the school raced to the cafeteria at 11:35 after half of a day of learning. Robin, Clive, and Starfire all entered the cafeteria together and sat at a table near the entrance.

As Starfire was looking around, she spotted her new friend, Sara. She immediately rose from her seat and dragged the quiet girl to their table. "Hello, friend! Come sit by us! I am sure it would be quite lonely to sit all by yourself!"

Sara smiled. "Thanks, Kori."

Clive lowered his glasses and "examined" Sara (in a non-perverted way, of course!). He stood up and walked around her, pausing every once in a while to think and hum to himself.

Sara became uneasy. "Um… what are you doing…?"

"I have never seen you attend classes at this school before," explained Clive.

"Yeah, I'm new here…"

Clive held his finger up in the air. "A ha! Of course! I'm brilliant!"

Robin groaned to himself a little bit. He got up from his chair and attempted to drag Clive back to his seat, but he refused.

"Wait, I'm not done yet!" exclaimed Clive.

"Done with what!"

"Learning about Kori's new friend! What else would I be up here for?" He began to mumble to himself, "Pitiful humans with their tiny intellects…"

Robin sat back down and let Clive continue his "business".

"So, what do you call yourself?" asked Clive to Sara.

"I'm… Sara… and you are?"

He bowed. "I'm Clive. It is a pleasure getting to know you, Sara."

Starfire somehow knew that Sara did not feel comfortable having Clive talk to her, so she insisted, "Clive, I am sure friend Sara would love to tell everyone about herself while you sit down and enjoy the edibles that you had brought to eat."

Clive understood and replied, "Oh yes. The average human being doesn't like to be disturbed while they eat. I will sit down, and let her enjoy her meal while she explains to us a little bit of her background." He sat down in his chair. "Please Sara, continue."

But before she could begin telling everyone about her, Brittany showed up all of a sudden and gave Robin a hug from behind him. "Hi, Dick! It's me, the best girl in the world, remember?"

He snarled. "I never said that to you."

"Well, you're just too shy to tell me your true feelings for me, so instead you date this red-headed bitch!" She squeezed him tighter and smiled.

Starfire grew red in the face. She immediately rose from her seat. "You do not call me that! He does not like you in any way, and you must deal with it!"

Brittany let go of him and glared at Starfire. "Maybe you're the one who should deal with it, because Dick is mine, got it!"

"You are the one who must 'get it'! Dick does not like you in that special way! You are just wanting to hide from the truth by calling me names and pretending that he is your boyfriend!"

"I'm not doing that! He really is my boyfriend, and you're the one who has to deal with it! So there!" She stuck out her tongue.

"Why do you not just go find someone else to be your boyfriend!"

"Because there's no one just like Dick! All of the other boys suck ass!"

"Why must you use such foul language! It is not necessary, and you know it! You also know that he does not love you, nor will he ever! So stop flirting with him and stop pretending that he is your boyfriend!" Her face was red and angry, very angry. Nobody, not even Robin, had ever seen her this angry before.

He knew that he had to do something. He stepped in between them. "Stop fighting! You're driving me crazy!" He glared at Brittany. "I don't want to go out with you. Deal with it, all right!"

Brittany seemed like she was going to burst into tears, but instead, she smiled and exclaimed, "Oh, silly Dick! I thought you were serious at first! You could've just told me that you wanted some time by yourself! Oh well, I'll see you tomorrow!" She hugged him and skipped away to sit with her girly friends.

Clive dug his fork into his salad. "She has not changed a bit since the sixth grade. I find that to be amazing. I would say impressive, but since she also has not matured since the sixth grade, I would not find that impressive in the least bit."

"That girl is incredibly immature. What's her deal, anyways?" asked Sara.

"She was spoiled as a child. When I get married and have a daughter, I refuse to spoil her!" Clive exclaimed.

Starfire kept her fist clenched as she ate her lunch. The others enjoyed a conversation with each other until lunch ended.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Finally, the final bell had rung. All six of them, plus Myra, Clive, Jack, Sara, Megan, Alan, and Gloria all met at the front door and began to talk to each other.

"Sister Gloria!" exclaimed Starfire. "I did not know that you would make friends with Gar!"

"Actually Kori, I didn't either. But that's ok. Life's full of surprises!" she said optimistically.

Clive looked up at Jack, who was very tall. "I remember you. You are the football player that nearly tackled me when I found myself wandering through the practice field."

"I still don't know why you were there in the first place, dude. It doesn't look a thing like a science lab or anything."

"I was looking for Myra!" He gestured Myra to join the conversation. "Myra, do you remember when I was looking for you, but wounded up on the football field?"

She rolled her eyes. "Yes Clive, how on earth could I forget?" She crossed her arms. "I still can't believe Ms. Crock wanted me to be a cheerleader… why! Why!"

Raven looked over at her. "What?"

"You heard me, she wanted me to be a cheerleader!"

Raven smirked, suppressing her laughter. Cyborg had heard this as well, so he joined her.

Meanwhile, Robin and Starfire were linked at the arms talking. "Do you think that Brittany will ever leave you alone?" she asked.

He sighed. "Probably not. She's never going to face the truth, no matter how much any of us can convince her."

"Why do the people of Earth have to be like that? Why can they not just face the truth? After all, they cannot change it, no matter how much they try, and no matter how much they dislike it."

"I know Kori. I know…" He sighed again. "But sometimes, I guess we have to face the truth, because we know that there are people that don't know how to face it. I guess we have to face it for them sometimes."

Starfire sighed. "Agreed."

Beast Boy and Terra approached them. "Dude, why the long faces? School couldn't have been that bad, could it?" asked Beast Boy.

"No Gar. You see, there's this other girl that refuses to deal with the fact that Kori and I are dating, and she can't change that."

"Oh my gosh. I'm sorry, Dick," said Terra sympathetically. "Let me guess, Brittany?"

"Yes, Brittany," Starfire sighed.

"Thanks Tara." Robin smiled. "You know, for feeling sorry…"

At that moment, everyone decided that they should go home. The older siblings of the Titans came outside and escorted their family members to their cars. Others walked home, while Myra and Clive took the city bus back to their homes.

Chapter 9 will probably come up sometime during Christmas time. If it doesn't, remember to not ask me to update, ok? Thank you so much! And sorry if this wasn't the greatest. It's hard to edit something sometimes.

And remember there will be a new chapter 10 coming between the original chapter 9 and 10. The original chapter 10 will become chapter 11, then after that will be the chapters that have never been read on fanfiction because that was when my story was deleted. Tata!
