Chapter 2 … lets start
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans … if I did they would still be on tv!
Roommates!?
Raven silently walked with Garth the five blocks until UJC (University of Jump City) came into view. Only a block away, the large clock tower in the plaza amazed her with its gothic architecture. She followed it down to the base and noticed it was a library as well. A fountain was in the middle of the plaza, but was it wasn't turned on. People with umbrellas wandered around books in hand.
Least I can do some reading here …
"That's it." Garth looked at her, but she didn't look back.
The rain had stayed at a drizzle since she left the bus stop, but she loved it.
"So which dorm are you staying in?" Garth asked her still trying to get her to look at him.
Dorm!? Dorm!? I forgot!
She turned to him with a confused look. Garth started to realize what she had forgotten to do.
"You forgot to get a dorm didn't you."
Raven stared down.
"Well …" Garth said as he began to rub the back of his neck while trying to figure out a solution. "I got it! I know someone who might need a roommate, just follow me."
Garth walked further down the street with Raven in tow. She cursed herself for not getting a dorm sooner, now she had to share a dorm with a total stranger and that was worse than no dorm at all!
Entering one of the buildings, Raven looked around at the communal living room and the people who inhabited it. A built guy in a jockey sweater was playing video games on the couch while a pink haired girl sat beside him reading. A blonde haired girl was laughing in the corner with a green haired guy; a fire glowing in front of them. A foosball table was already occupied by a black haired and orangey haired guy; obviously these guys were very competitive because they kept smashing the little puck back and forth at breakneck speeds.
"This way Rae." Garth was already on the staircase waiting.
RAE!!! No one ever calls me Rae!
"Don't call me that." Raven stated coldly to Garth as she walked to the staircase.
Walking in front of room 123 Garth tapped on the door.
"Hey! K, come on open up!" Garth looked back at Raven and smiled. "I think you'll like her."
Raven pulled off her hood and dropped her bags with a thud. Her back was aching, but she shrugged it off. Should have let Garth carry something she thought to herself. Inside, someone slammed into the door and then jingled the lock.
"Oww, … who is it at the door?" The girl questioned even though she had already unlocked it.
"It's me Garth, I got a friend for you!" Garth looked back at Raven and gave her a thumbs up.
The door swung open and a burnt-red headed girl stepped out, eyes big and happy.
"Oh, you have found a new friend for me!?" She stepped forward and hugged a stunned Raven.
"Glorious friend, my name is Kori Ander." Kori let go of Raven and happily waited for her to introduce herself.
Raven, however, was trying to comprehend what had just happened.
"This is Raven, and she needs a place to stay, you mind Kori?"
Kori's green eyes glittered with stars.
"Yes friend, you may stay with me and we will do the things girls do. Like the hanging out! Come, come inside my room." Kori grabbed Raven and tossed her inside. Garth laughed and grabbed Raven's bags before entering.
Kori jumped on her pink bed and anxiously awaited for Raven to say something. Raven looked around her room, filled with her most hated color (or her favorite? ; ) even though it was mostly bare. Coming back to Kori she noticed even she was wearing pink; her pink pajama top and bottom were also covered in little yellow ducks. She sighed.
"So where is it that you have come from Raven?" Kori asked with a face as innocent as a kitten.
"Azarath."
"Oh, I am not acquainted with that place. I am from the country of Tamaran, have you heard of it?
"Yes." Becoming a little annoyed, Raven looked to Garth who happily grinned at her.
Damn Garth, Now I'm roommates with a 5 year old in a 19 year olds body!
"Okay girls, I gotta be going so I'll leave you two to get better acquainted." Garth put Raven's bags by Kori's bed and turned to the door. Before leaving he turned and gave Raven a deviant grin before closing the door behind him.
Looking around the room once more, Raven realized their was only one bed. Sensing what Raven realized, Kori spoke.
"Umm, Raven, I possess only one bed so we will have to sleep together. It will be like a sleepover!"
Great, now I've got to sleep in the same bed as her … what a way to enter college …
Garth looked at his watch as he entered the living room area, "Guess I was up there longer than I thought," he said to himself. The lights in the living room were out and everyone was gone. The only light was the glow of the fireplace in the corner. Garth turned towards the exit.
"Hey Garth!"
"Yea?" Garth turned around seeing one of his friends come out from the shadows.
"Who was that girl you came in with?"
"Oh her, she's new here, her name's Raven."
"Raven …" He looked down for a second. "Thanks, and don't forget were playing stankball later. Vic's rules."
Garth nodded his head and turned out the exit. His friend looked up the staircase and went back to the fireplace throwing a blanket over himself. It was getting dark and the rain tapping on the windows was the only sound. Everyone had already left, but he just stayed by the dying fire deep in thought.
End of chapter 2 … I'm trying to make it more interesting, so I'll have to turn it up in chapter 3!!! Hope you enjoyed it!
