Chapter 9

"He c-called me…u-ugly…" I cried into Robin's chest. We were in my room meditating together, and I was venting to Robin.

"I know, sweetie. Shush…" I looked up at Robin. His blue eyes were sympathetic and sad, and his mouth was pressed into a fine line.

"But y-you were asleep." He frowned.

"I'm a good actor. Now, stop crying. Your emotions are running ramped." I stopped crying and sniffled. He shushed me again and coddled me like a child.

"I know. But he called me ugly and creepy and moody." Robin frowned and shook his head.

"You know, you're like a Jolly Rancher®." I looked up at him, a puzzled look on my face.

"How so?"

"You're hard on the outside, but on the inside, you're juicy and interesting." I laughed.

"You find Jolly Ranchers® interesting?" He smiled.

"Yeah! I mean, how do they make those things?"

"I don't know. Maybe they'll put it on Modern Marvels or something." He nodded and smiled. I sat up and stared at Robin.

"So, you want to go get some food or something?" I nodded and we left.

"Hey Raven. Want to go for some pizza?" Cyborg asked, smiling. I looked at Cyborg with uneasy eyes.

"Is Re going?" I sneered. Cyborg nodded and I sighed.

"Well, yeah. She is a part of the team now." Robin walked in with Re. She smirked at me and I mocked her, smirking ridiculously.

"That's right. I underwent my initiation and now…I'm a Teen Titan!" All color drained from my face. My lips were so dry and sticky it felt like I'd licked a hundred envelopes. My eyes boggled out of my head.

"Initiation?" I looked at Robin with hostile eyes.

"Oh yeah. It felt so…good." She purred, putting her head on Robin's shoulder. He stepped away and stood next to me.

"Alright, we're going now y'all." Cyborg headed out the door and we followed. Since we lived in California, we could sometimes walk places. It was actually nice, except that Re was there. She clung to Robin like a teddy bear and Robin kept shoving her off. Like she couldn't take no for an answer.

Why is she on the team, I asked Robin. He looked at me and responded.

We couldn't not let her on. She has no reason to not be on the team. I sneered at that.

She's not normal. Robin furrowed his brow.

Neither are you. I frowned and looked away.

"I said, what're you gettin'?" I looked up with a scowl to Re, holding a pizza menu. Have you ever noticed that when you hate someone, everything they do starts to annoy you? The way she breathed was annoying me.

"I'm getting cheese." Re nodded and looked at Robin.

"What're you getting, hot stuff?" I scowled as she purred. But Robin seemed unfazed.

"I'm getting pepperoni and cheese, Re. What're you getting?"

"I'm getting what you're getting. We could share." I fought my urge to send her to hell when she put her hand over Robin's. Robin pulled away and Re looked burnt.

"I'm getting the Meat Lover's Deluxe. How 'bout you, BB?"

"I'm getting tofu. As usual. Hehe." I glared at Re. Who did she think she was, stepping in here and trying to charm Robin away from me?

"Hey y'all. I'm Trixie. What can I get you for?" She took out a pen and notepad.

"BB will have tofu. I'll have Meat Lover Deluxe. Re will have pepperoni and cheese. So will Robin. And Rae will have cheese." I looked at Re with hostile eyes.

"Ooh, a new Titans romance forming I see?" I glared at her.

I tried to keep my voice calm. "No-"

"Yes, of course! We're totally dating." I grew four eyes as Re kissed Robin's cheek. I stood up.

"Leave him alone!" But Trixie already left.

"What? We're dating!" I was pissed at her.

"No you're not, Re! You can't just weasel in here and steal him!" Re looked confused.

"But he was dating Starfire. And now that she's gone…he's mine." Robin was just sitting there, hard as a rock. Err, stiff as a rock.

"How do you know he isn't dating someone else?" Re quirked an eyebrow.

"There aren't any other girls on the team. Pretty girls, I mean." I stared at her, and then looked around. They all looked angry.

"You calling her ugly?" I was surprised to see Beast Boy stand up.

"But of course. You told me yourself." I stared at Beast Boy. Some cars would be flipped today.

"I never said that to her!"

"Yeah right!" I slammed down my menu and stormed off. Re just had her pretty little smirk on as I fought tears.

The walk home was long and strenuous. I was so glad my hood covered my face, or else random citizens would've seen me break down and cry. As I walked by, potholes flew up, cars flipped over, and buildings crumbled. Think I cared?

TBOH

When I got home, my worst nightmare came true. The waitress, Trixie, posted her experience on the internet. The Jump City gossip rag magazine, infact

So, I work at Cheezer's Pizza, right? And the Teen Titans come in. I get to see them a lot. Anyways, there's this new girl who looks a lot like Starfire comes in attached to Robin's hip. So I go and take their order and she's all flirty with him, calling him hot stuff and things like that. Then I ask if there's any new Titans romances brewing, and Raven starts to say no, but the new girl says 'yes, of course we're dating'. Raven goes berserk and leaves. Then Re moves in real close and kisses Robin's cheek. He scoots away and starts talking to Cyborg and Beast Boy.~ Trixie Tytag, age 20, waitress.

I didn't mean to write all that bad drama, but it just kind of flowed. Re's definitely nothing like Starfire . I just have to make Raven hate her. IDK why, I must. Review and Favorite. Grammar Nazi and Flamers welcome.
