Chapter 8

"Nice hit, Re!" I watched silently as Beast Boy cheered ridiculously. She did prove to be more brazen than Starfire, with her attacks at least. She winked at Beast Boy and he melted. I rolled my eyes. She was surfing a tide of rocks and completely demolished our training course.

"Five more seconds!" Robin seemed impressed by her. In the most platonic sense, though. Three…two…one. The horn sounded and the course ended. She hovered above us, smirking as she did.

"Dude!" "Well alright!" "Nice job, Re!" I stared at Robin, who was smiling. He better not like her. She strutted over to me and smirked, one hand on hip, popping her neck., extending her ear. I poked out my lip in disgust.

"So…what'd ya think, Rae? Didn't here ya here."

I rolled my eyes. "Nice." She smiled and strutted away. That girl was getting on my last nerve. At least Starfire wasn't this annoying.

"No. I don't want her." No way was she moving in.

"Come on Rae-"

"Don't call me Rae." Beast Boy frowned at me.

"Come on, girl. We need another team member. She seems chill and to be a good fit." I quirked an eyebrow as I glared at Cyborg.

"Can we find someone else?"

"We really need her, though. Right, Robin?" Robin was napping on the sofa.

"No we don't. We're perfectly-"

"Four. Look, Rae, I know how much you don't want her, but you've got to face facts. We need another girl."

"Oh he gets to call you-"

"Look. We need to find someone else. Something is off about her. But I just can't put my finger on it." Beast Boy looked at me in disbelief and anger.

"Look, Raven. You can be all moody and creepy and emo whenever you want. You can't hate every girl that isn't Starfire. She was Starfire. Re is Re. They're two completely different people! Besides, we need a pretty girl on the team." Everyone stared at Beast Boy. Tears were spilling over the brims of my eyes. He just called me ugly. That really hurt. "We need someone for fanboys to fantasize over and love and-"

"STOP IT!" I screamed. Everyone stared at me. I started to cry and stood there. Cyborg cuffed Beast Boy in the back of the head and walked over to me. He rubbed my back.

"C'mon. I didn't mean-"

"J-just…go…" I flashed into my room. I needed meditation.

Aw...BB's so mean :(. This is up late a couple hours because I went to Lighthouse Beach. It was so fun but I got sand up my bikini bottom and it felt so weird. Now I'm here, inside your computer, chilling in my sweatpants, glasses, w/ my hair pulled back, and watching Sam & Cat with my little sister. Now it's raining. Like, hard. Review and Favorite. Grammar Nazis and Flamers welcome.
