Chapter 4
Raven POV
I felt arms reach from behind me to push and give me room. I turned slightly to see Wally wink happily at me. I love him. I do. It's just…I know it will sound corny but I can't give him my heart because it's still with Robin. I feel like such a rat….
Flashback:
"You could probably get Robin's attention if you made him jealous" Cassie suggested as she grabbed a handful of popcorn from me.
"Jealous? How? No one's even remotely…"
"Interested? Puh-lease Rae the only person who doesn't believe you are pretty is you!"
"That's not…ok maybe a little"
"Or a lot" Cassie put in raising an eyebrow at me
I simply groaned in reply and waved at Robin as he looked up at me during his P.E. class. I blushed as he waved back.
"What about Wally West?"
"What about him?"
"He flirts with you"
"So? He flirts with everyone"
"Yeah, he is fast" Cassie chuckled
"Cass?"
"Yeah?"
"I know why I am here…I have a free block but why are you here?"
"I'm cutting math 9 and don't change the topic"
"Your mom won't like to hear you've been cutting again"
"Will you tell her?"
"No…"
"Good. Now let's talk about getting Wally to make Robin jealous"
"No!"
"Isn't that Donna Troy (Wondergirl I/ Troia) with Robin?" Cassie pointed out.
I whipped my head like lightning to see the class president laughing at something Robin had said.
"Ah, Donna she's my role model you know! She's pretty, smart…not shy…."
"Ok! Fine I'll talk to Wally!" I said giving in trying to ignoring that nauseous feeling in my gut.
(A/N: In the comics Wonder girl II and Raven are best friends and Wonder girl was even the one who gets Raven to wear bright and more revealing clothes)
It had been easy to catch him after school…he was in the track meet. "Hey, cutie! Here to see me?" Wally asked me. I saw Robin come out of the school at the corner of my eye. "Of course I'm here to see you!" I said a little too loudly. Robin turned momentarily in my direction and raised an eyebrow. Laughter made me turn from his gaze and I looked at Wally laughing good heartedly "Wow! You must be really excited or something, huh?"
"Uhm…yeah…sure let's go with that"
"So what did you want to talk to me about?"
"I was just wondering if you would be busy…Friday night"
"WHAT! RAVEN ROTH IS ASKING ME OUT!" he said practically announcing it to the entire universe. I looked at Robin's direction again to see him watching us curiously. I wanted the earth to swallow me whole just then but I was a little amused. "Movie and dinner would sound nice…" Wally smirked
"Boy, you don't waste any time do you?"
"Fastest boy in the world, baby doll"
"I hope you mean like the wind"
"Seven sound good?"
"Sounds like a plan"
I waved goodbye to Wally as I made my way to Robin's car. "Did you just make a date with Wally West?" Robin asked me as I strapped on my seat belt. I nodded mysteriously and waited for a reaction. He'd grab me by the shoulders shake me and say "No! You can't! Because…because…because I love you Raven!" but nooooooo not Robin. He didn't even act as a protective brother and say something like "If that guy tries anything funny. I'll kick his butt so bad he won't be able to sit for a month!" Nooooo this is what ROBIN said "Good for you! You two would make a good pair" I gaped at him like a fish as he drove us home, oblivious to my incredulous expression. That night I called Cassie ASAP. "WE'D MAKE A GOOD COUPLE! WE'D MAKE A GOOD COUPLE! WE'D MAKE A GOOD COUPLE!" I repeated astounded
"Well in all fairness you would…"
"DON'T! Cassie you said that jealousy would work!"
"I never said that!"
"Whatever! You implied it!"
"Maybe a little but you have to look at the bright side"
"BRIGHT SIDE! AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IT"S ALL THUNDER STORMS!"
"C'mon Rae! You get to go on a date with Wally West the infamous charmer"
"Cassie! I expected Robin to be jealous enough to show feeling for me! Then I would have called off the date before it even had happened!"
"Oh. Well what are you going to do now?"
"What do you mean? I'm just going to have to cancel on Wally"
"No way absolutely not!"
"Why not? The whole plan was to-" Then it hit me, that was never Cassie's plan. She never thought I could ever make Robin jealous. She just wanted me to go on a date with someone else. She wanted me to get over Robin!
"Hello? Rae? You still there?"
"You are so dead"
" Ah, Bwahahahaha I see you have come to realize my master plan!" Cassie said with a bad impersonation of Count Dracula.
"Cassie!"
"C'mon what's the harm?"
"The harm is I'd be using him and it's wrong!"
"You might actually come to like him. Just give it a try. I mean what have you got to lose?"
"My friendship with Wally, my dignity, my sense of morality…"
"But if you end up with Wally you won't lose a thing in fact you'll gain so much more"
"I dunno…maybe?"
"How about this? Make your date with Wally a double date with Robin and well…"
"Robin won't have a problem with finding a date I assure you"
"Then it's settled"
"It is?"
"Two birds, one stone. You get to realize which guy you like the most and-"
"Robin. I like Robin the most"
"Ahem! We will see who can win your heart and give theirs to you in return and you get to watch Teen Titans Movie live action"
(A/N: slight humor…and extreme wish! They keep making Superman, Spiderman. Batman. Where are all our teen heroes? BTW does anyone wish to make a suggestion on the cast if there ever was a movie?)
