Thnx to everyone who reviewed for Chapter 1 and 2. And SushiChica I'm glad we came to terms…on with Chapter 3
Chapter 1: Speedy's POV
"She really thinks that?" I asked both Robin and Terra as they both shook their heads yeah, "I bet I could make her feel otherwise."
"How would you expect to do that?" Terra smirked, "She didn't like you the first time she laid her eyes on you."
"Well, I could always get with her. She'd probably use me for a rebound." I sneered, "I know her type. I've dated many before. All they ever do is use other people to get what they want."
"You're right. We could get her back," Robin laughed, "make her think we're jealous, and make her think that you don't know you're her rebound boy."
"Yeah and then at the prom we can dump it all in her face!" Terra screamed in joy, "Speedy you're a genius!"
"But, I really don't know." Robin paused, "She was a nice girl and she was kind of right about me."
"Robin, she doesn't even know you and she's judging you. All she does is be mean and ungrateful." Terra looked at him, "In all my years of being her best friend, I've finally realized that."
"So, do we have a plan?" I smiled.
"I guess." Robin said, "After school, meet me in the gym and we'll finish this conversation."

After School: Still Speedy's POV
"First you have to convince her to go on a date you." Robin wrote what he said on the basketball team's chalkboard.
"Robin, you may be the playmaker when it comes to b-ball, but I'm the playmaker when it comes to girls." I told him as I snatched the piece of chalk out his hand, erased what he'd written on the board, and wrote: 1. Make Her Fall For You.
"How can you make her fall for you?" Terra asked, irritated, "It's hard just to get her to say hi to you in the hall."
"Trust me, this woman genius has everything under control." I chuckled nastily, "Time to get my shine on."

In The Hallway
"Why? Did your mom tell you couldn't date guys?" I asked as Rachel opened her locker door in my face. I had just asked her out on a date.
"No, you're just an idiot." She slammed the locker and looked me in the face. We stared at each other for a long time, before she started to walk away.
"Wait!" I grabbed her shoulder as she swung her body around, "I really, really want to go out with you."
"You don't even know me!" She frowned.
"I know you enough, Raven," I told her. She looked surprised that I'd called her that.
"Don't call me that," she scorned and started to walk again.
"Please," I called. She stopped dead in her tracks. I walked up to her and gave her a piece of paper with my number on it.
"I'd really appreciate it if you called." I smiled largely. She took the paper and walked away. I smiled as I ran back into the gym.
"So?" Terra ran up to me.
"So?" I smirked.
"So, what'd she say?" She asked.
"Of course, no. I gave her my number on a piece of paper, though."
"You gave her your number on a piece of paper?" Terra said angrily, "Do you have any idea where that piece of paper could be now. She's never going to call you, Mr. Ladies' Man."
"Trust me. By the way she looked at me when I smiled at her, I know she's going to call." I told her, "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but she will sooner or later."

3 Days Later: Raven's POV
I couldn't believe I was actually doing Kerry's laundry after everything that'd happened a few days ago.
All of a sudden something fell on me. "Ah!" I screamed. I thought a spider had jumped on me, but it was actually a small piece of paper that'd fallen from my jacket pocket. I picked it up and realized it was the number Roy Harper had given to me a couple of days ago. I smirked to myself and decided I'd call him when I was done with the clothes.
Later on, I picked up the phone and dialled his number.
"I've been waiting for you." He answered, "What took you so long?" It was something about his voice that made him sound mysterious.
"I was contemplating on whether to call you or not," I smirked to myself. "You're friends with Robin and Terra and I don't think I want to go through the things I went through the other day ever again."
"Mm," he moaned. "I see. I bet you wish you had a hot boyfriend to make you feel better."
"I don't want to have sex with you, Speedy." I smirked.
"Do what with who?" Kerry came into our bedroom.
"I'll call you back," I whispered and hung up the phone.
"What did you just say?" He asked, "And were you talking to a boy?"
"Kerry, please, don't start. I am a growing girl with feelings, you know." I smirked devilishly, "Although, I'm not your average teenager, at least act a parent who's trying to make there gothic daughter turn preppy."
Kerry snicked to himself, "You know, your mouth is too smart for your own good."
"I know. No need to remind me." I pushed past him into our kitchen.
I opened the cabinets to see nothing, but spider webs, "Kerry, I know we just moved here, but we don't even have a bag of chips in our cabinets or a carton of milk in the refrigerator."
"I told you, we're each other's lunch." He came into the kitchen with nothing but a towel around his waist, "Why don't you take a shower with me?"
"No way." I pushed past him once again, "Kerry, I'm your daughter."
"Correction, you're my adopted daughter." He followed me into our bedroom.
"So does that make me your playmate?" I asked as our cheap, low, and raggedy door bell rang, "I'll get it."
I slowly walked to the door and gasped deeply as I opened it. Speedy was standing outside with a single rose in his hands.
"What are you doing here?" I pushed him outside and followed behind him as I softly closed the front door, "And how do you know where I live?"
"Have you ever heard of a phone book?" He smirked.
"Yeah, but we just moved here. Why would my name be in the phone book?" I smirked back.
"Okay, okay, I followed you home yesterday after school." He laughed.
"Wait that was you in that red Mustang with the tinted windows?" I asked as he shook his head yes, "Do you know I can press charges for stalking?"
"I don't care. Whatever it takes to go with you." He handed me the rose, "For you my beautiful, amethyst-eyed, love."
I took it and thought about actually becoming his girlfriend. If I did, Richard Grayson would probably be jealous. I'd probably even become popular, and Terra would be envious. Being his girlfriend could really help me feel better. Ha-ha, I loved being evil.
"Okay, I'll be your girlfriend." I smiled a small grin, "But don't come back over here. My dad will kill you and me if he found out I had a boyfriend."
"Yes," he said to himself. "I knew you'd fall for my charm sooner or later. So when's our first date."
"Well, there's a couple things I'm going to try at school tomorrow. Maybe you can help me find my way around the school." I told him.
"I guess that's good enough." He smiled and walked down the porch stairs, "See you at school, Girlfriend!"
I sighed. I couldn't believe he'd just did that. Since when could I just get a boyfriend like that. It wasn't normal. Something had to be going on, and I was going to find out.

ON LUNCH BREAK AT SCHOOL: SPEEDY'S POV
"So, where to first?" I caught up with Rachel as she was finishing stuffing her books from 1-5 period in her locker.
"The music room, I want to try out the guitar," she told me as she started to walk.
"The guitar? You know how to play the guitar?" I asked her.
"Yes." I followed her up the stairs to the second floor, "What's so surprising about that?"
"You look more like someone who writes a lot of dark poems." I laughed as we wandered into the music room.
"I do that too," she mumbled. "I like to consider myself multitalented."
I laughed. She had a very smart mouth. But I kind of admired that. She actually knew how to make me feel useless.
I closed the door to the music room, because we were the only people in there. I guess everyone else had something better to be doing. Which was probably eating lunch. And I'd usually be doing that, too, but I wouldn't miss this for anything. Well, maybe I would if they were serving pizza with anchovies, pineapples, and pepperoni.
Rachel slowly picked up the one regular guitar there was. She instantly started playing. I guessed she'd forgotten that I was in the room, because she was softly singing along with the music.
The music she was playing sounded like a mixture of Hey There Delilah and Big Girl's Don't Cry by the Plain White Tees and Fergie. To my surprise, she was actually kind of good at singing and playing the guitar.
Then, the music teacher, Ms. Garbo, opened the door. Rachel paused and I smiled.
"Oh, Miss Roth, I had no idea you knew how to play an instrument!" She exclaimed, "I heard your lovely voice all the way down the hall. I had to come down here, because as I listened to it I felt like I was lying on the fluffiest cloud on Heaven and being fed strawberries and whip cream by two hunks!"
"Yeah, you are pretty good." I smiled at her, to my surprise she blushed, "That's right. You were singing out loud."
"I had no idea," she said shakily. "I'm sorry."
"No, no, maybe you can be in our school's spring musical: Michaela in the Snow. You have the looks and the voice to be Michaela."
"I don't know, Ms. Garbo, I don't really do school events. I like to keep to myself." She looked really disinterested.
"Well, it may be your chance to break free of your lonesomeness. Just think about it." Mrs. Garbo smiled as she walked back into the hall.
"I think you should do it, maybe everyone wouldn't think you were such a creep." I smirked.
"No, plays are not my----a creep---everyone thinks I'm a creep?" She asked surprisingly.
"Duh." I threw my hands out, "Look at you. Your hair is blue, your skin is pale, you almost look anorexic, you never socialize, and you turned Richard Grayson down. Plus, you're the new girl. Do you know what happened to the last new girl? Kitten Moth's mother is a bug keeper and they dumped a whole fish aquarium full of worms and cockroaches on top of her head. They even threw a few in her locker, and she was just a normal girl."
"I thought you wanted to be my boyfriend." She looked at me angrily, "Now I understand. You're probably just doing this to make me look like some kind of joke. You're probably going to try and dump me in front of the whole school. I don't know why even bothered with someone like you."
Before I knew it, she'd stormed out of the room and slammed the door. I cursed myself. That's kind of what I wanted to happen, but it happened before either Terra or Robin even knew we were an item. I had to get her back liking me. The plan was to dump her at prom. I didn't even get to share one kiss with her.
"Rachel, wait!" I ran out into the hall, but she was nowhere to be found, "Where could she go that fast? Rachel!"
"Hey, Speedy. Did Rachel ever call you?" Terra and Robin came up to me out of nowhere.
"Where did you guys come from?" I asked confusingly, "Never mind. Yeah, she called me and she agreed to be my girlfriend. But I think she just broke up with me. Help me find her, quick."
"What? Speedy, you sure do know how to mess up a lot of things." Terra frowned angrily as her and Robin helped me searched.
"Rachel, I've been looking all over for you." I walked into the main office. She was sitting in one of the chairs in front of the secretary's desk.
"Leave me alone." She glared at me. Her facial expression was unreadable and her eyes were dull.
"What are you doing in here? The office can't make you feel better, but I can." I sat in the chair that was beside her as Adam Grayson came into the office.
He stopped in his tracks and stared Rachel in her face. He was looking so intensely that he seemed almost lost in her eyes.
I instantly got angry, "Take a picture; it'll last longer." I smirked.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was staring." He blushed nervously, "Um, Rachel, Ms. Garbo told me you were going to think about playing Michaela in the spring musical."
"Yeah, she is. So, what?" I decided I'd respond for her.
"Well, you know, I wrote the musical, and I'd really like it if you played Michaela." His soft smile changed into a huge grin, "Actually, I'd really, really like it."
"Okay, yeah, yeah. Shoo, Addie, shoo." I pushed him away, "I'm trying to get my girlfriend back if you don't mind."
His smile changed to a confused frown, "Girlfriend?"
"Yeah, girlfriend. Got a problem with that?" I smirked.
He looked so sad, I thought he might cry, "No, I don't have a problem with it. That's great that Micha-Rachel's your girlfriend."
I looked at him surprisingly as he scurried out of the room, "Whoa, what's his issue?"
"Do you have to be such a jerk?" Rachel screamed at me as she stormed out of the office.
"Rachel, wait, I'm sorry." I stood up, "Aw, here we go again."
"Girl problems?" Our nosy, but sexy secretary, Ms. Martinez, asked. I blew air out my mouth, ignored Ms. Martinez, and ran out the office to find Rachel. This time she wasn't hard to find. She was in the girls' restroom. I walked into the bathroom and thanked God that Rachel was the only girl in there. I could see her pale legs and her black boots under one of the stall's door.
"Raven, please come out." She ignored me, "If you don't come out, I'm going in." She ignored me again. I was fed up, so I pushed the door in and grabbed her. I forced her out the stall and looked her dead in her blank eyes, "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I really want to be with you."
"So, you're not embarrassed by me?" She flared her nostrils.
"No, of course not." I actually kind of told the truth, "Matter fact." I grabbed her by her hand and led her outside. The bell that told us lunch was over and sixth period was just beginning had just rang, and students were pouring in from the north and the south.
"Roy, you don't have to do this," she mumbled.
"Yes, I do." I smiled and screamed, "Attention! Look at me!" The whole student body instantly became still and quiet. I was surprised everyone didn't ignore me. I was just trying to show Rachel that I "cared". I didn't actually want the whole school to think she was my girl.
"Uh," I looked at Rachel who looked really happy, "Rachel Roth is officially my girlfriend. So, now she's in the popular kids clique. If anyone messes with her, I'll be sure they have hell to pay. Okay, go to class!" Everyone all had surprised looks on their faces. Even the Goths and Emos.
"I have to go," Rachel pulled her hand from mines in a hurry and ran away as everyone around finally started to go back to normal.
That time I didn't go after her. Partly because I was tired, and partly because Robin and Terra were walking over to me.
"I still don't think we should be doing this," Robin sighed.
"I do." Terra laughed, "Speedy you're a genius!"
"Yeah, I'm a genius." I chuckled nervously. I almost hated to admit it, but I definitely agreed with Robin.

Okay, Okay, kill me! I know it sucks! It's just like all my ideas flew away. I can't seem to remember any of them! Please help me! What do you guys think I should do next? I want this to be a good story like One of These Days!
