Chapter 10! … enjoy …

Hi! I'm Kole …

"You ready?"

Raven groggily rustled in the bed sheets. Rubbing her eyes open, she could hear Kori getting her stuff together, but also sensed someone else in the room.

"How's Raven doing?" Telling from the voice, she recognized it as Richard's.

"She is doing well." Kori replied back.

"I'll walk you to class …" Richard said, trailing off, unsure if Starfire would accept the gesture. Raven, however, heard them both walk out, closing the door behind them.

Another hour in bed and then I'll get up …

Ooo

Raven tried not to think about the night before. She shuddered even thinking about Roy. Walking around campus, she had decided not to go to class; she still had things to think over. She got dressed and walked into the hallway, turning back to lock the door.

"You look like you could use some company." Raven spun around and saw a smiling Victor.

"That would be nice." She whispered to him, her big teddy bear friend. They walked around campus for a while before he offered her to go up to his dorm. She nodded her head and they headed up towards his dorm. She sat on his bed, while he took a seat on his desk chair. She knew he had to know.

"So that's what happened …" Raven explained to Vic. They had talked for awhile before Raven thought she ought to let him know about yesterday, he was one of her best friends anyway.

"I see …" Vic stayed quiet. He stared at the door, but somehow Raven knew he thinking about something else. Around his room, Victor had banners of his favorite college football teams, a poster of Malcolm X, and pictures of him and his friends, including one of Jenna and him. Raven looked back at Vic, who had now come out of his trance and was facing her as well.

"You wanna know why me and Jenna broke up?" Vic asked her. Raven didn't know what to say. She had shared something private to him, but she didn't want him to feel like he had to tell her something private about himself. She looked away.

"Not if you don't want to say …" She said to him. Vic got up and walked to the window.

"It was six months ago. Jenna and I had been dating since the end of high school; almost three years. I thought we would be together forever and wanted to get her something that showed that ... I got her a promise ring. But she hesitated when I put the ring on her finger. She said that she'd have to think about it … what's to think about! I looked up at her in shock. We had been together for almost three years and she was having second doubts! I yelled at her that I wasted three years of life with her then. She looked at me in fear … I didn't mean for me to say those things, but they just came out … I told her that it was over and that I didn't want to see her anymore, ever. The look on her face … tears fell from her cheeks. She took the ring off and put it in my hand. She kissed me anyway, before she walked away …" Victor looked at his hands, they were shaking.

"It's not your fault Victor … she wasn't ready." Raven comforted him. He nodded his head in agreement.

"Ever since then, I couldn't go out on a date … with any girl, at least until I saw you. You helped me since then, even if I was going too fast. Thanks …" Victor said to Raven. She put her hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"How about the next girl you see you ask out?" Raven dared him. Vic laughed at the prospect. Like he would ever do that.

Knock Knock

Vic turned to the door and walked over to it. He opened the door and stood facing a pink haired girl. She wore a white skirt and tank top. She was also much shorter than Vic, but made that up for in her cheeriness.

"I'm looking for Victor Stone. Is he here?" She asked him. Vic looked back at Raven who gave him a thumb up with a smile. Okay, he thought, here I go.

"Hi there, I'm Victor, but you can call me Vic." Vic smiled at the girl.

"Hi! I'm Kole. Kole Narc. I heard you're a tutor and I need some help with some of my studies." Kole asked him. Vic nodded his head and showed her in. Walking in, she noticed Raven and gave her a smile.

"I'll be going. Good luck Vic." Raven said to him while walking out. Vic blushed before closing the door behind her.

Good luck indeed Vic …

Ooo

Raven thought she might as well drop in on Gar to see what he was up to. She walked over to dorm A and came to room 210, knocking on the door. Inside, she heard footsteps coming towards the door. Opening, she was face to face with Garth.

"Oh hey Rae, what brings you here?" Garth asked while fixing his wrinkled shirt.

"Garth, where's Gar … and why are you in his room?" Raven questioned him. Gar smiled and swung the door open, showing Tara sitting up in the bed.

Wonder what these two were up to?

"What are you two doing in Gar's room?" She still asked. Garth laughed at her question.

"It's also Tara's." Raven was shocked momentarily. Gar's roommate was his ex Tara! Why didn't he say this to her earlier? Tara walked up to the door and wrapped her arms around Garth.

"Hey Raven, what's going on?" Strings of Tara's blonde hair fell over her blue eyes. Raven forced a smile.

"Oh nothing, just looking for Gar." Raven was gonna give Gar hell for not telling him about his roommate.

"I think he was heading back to your place … Oh if you catch him, tell him were out of tofu too!" Raven turned and walked down the hallway, waving her hand at Tara's request. It was time to figure out what Gar's true motives were!

Ooo
