A/N: I'm back. Again I apologize for the long wait. This story gets a little hard to write sometimes. Just to warn you guys this chapter may come out a little rough considering I'm still trying to work out of my writer's block, again. I thought I'd switch things up a bit in this chapter so without further adieu, I give you chapter 4 *shoots confetti* yay confetti!
The sound of a screeching door filled the eerie room. A petite figure quietly stepped in and waited until it closed before reaching for the top of her scalp and pulling off a dark haired wig, allowing indigo-colored hair to fall to her shoulders. She sighed heavily, reaching for a velvet case that sat solemnly on top of an antique-looking bureau. Carefully, the girl removed her colored contacts starting with her left eye, then her right, and placed them back in the case. After that was settled, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Amethyst eyes peered back at her.
"I guess its back to being a Titan again." Raven looked down at the large book that she held in her arms.
"Or at least until tomorrow morning." She plopped down in the middle of her bed, resting the hard covered textbook on her lap. Raven reached inside of her grey tote bag where she pulled out a pencil and a notebook then turned a couple of pages in the book until she found what she was searching for. After writing and solving about five problems, she was interrupted in mid-thought by a sudden knock.
"Raven you in there?" The voice was muffled but Raven could easily tell it was Cyborg.
"I'm busy." She replied irritably as she continued to jot down numbers on the separate piece of paper.
"Sorry, I just wanted to know if you're ok."
"I'm fine."
"You sure? You know that you can talk to me about-"
"I said I'm fine." Raven growled, saying the last part bitterly.
Deafening silence seemed to set in. Just when she thought that he had left he spoke up again, his voice coming out a little hoarse.
"Ok, well I'll be here if you still wanna talk. Sorry about disturbing you."
A wave of guilt started to wash over Raven. She thought about apologizing to him but something else had her preoccupied, the fact that she had to finish studying for her big test tomorrow. After hearing Cyborg's footsteps fade away down the hall, Raven went back to her studies in hopes of no more intrusions.
Raven awoke to the sound of screaming and shouting.
'Wonder what Beast Boy did this time.' Slowly opening her eyes, Raven noticed something blocking her line of vision. Either she somehow went blind or Beast Boy was trying to pull another trick on her. Reaching for her face, Raven saw that it was just her scrap paper from last night.
'Wait. Math problems?' It took a moment for the wheels to start turning in her head until realization dawned on her. Raven glanced at the clock on her nightstand. It was almost seven o'clock and she still wasn't ready. Using her undiscovered speed to take a quick shower, dress, put on her wig, place her contacts lenses in her eyes, and grab her school stuff, she managed to walk out of the tower without being noticed at a quarter of seven, meaning she still had twenty-five minutes to get to school. No sweat.
"Yo, grass stain! Get your green skinny butt back here!" Unbeknownst to Cyborg, Beast Boy was hiding underneath the couch in rat form, shuddering in fear of being beaten to death by the fuming half-metal teen.
Robin stumbled into the room, half-awake as he searched for the source of all the commotion. His eyes widened, seeing Cyborg hoist their refrigerator over his head like it was a bag of feathers.
"Cyborg what the hell are you doing?" Robin's question caught him off guard, nearly causing him to drop the appliance on his feet. Setting the fridge back, Cyborg gave Robin a sheepish smile.
"Well actually it's a long story." He scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Then start talking I got plenty of time considering I just lost a few extra hours of sleep." Robin grumbled with his arms folded. Thinking this was the best opportunity to make a break for it, Beast Boy crawled out from under the couch almost nearing the door until he felt something grab him by the tail, and the next thing that he knew, he was hanging upside down in the air, starring into his leader's mask.
"You aren't weaseling you way out of this one Beast Boy."
"Actually dude, I'm a rat." Beast Boy joked, trying to make light out of the awkward situation but the emotionless expression on Robin's face told him otherwise.
"So which one of you want to go first?" He glanced at his the two boys. Beast Boy sheepishly twirled his pointer fingers around in imaginary circles, his eyes drifting to the tiled floor.
"I…um…I broke Cy's hard drive. Ya know, the big super computer in his room."
"You what?" Robin asked exasperated.
"What were you doing in my room anyway?" Cyborg's mechanical red eye started to flare, keeping back the urge to strangle the boy.
"Um, nothing?" He replied timidly.
"Bullshit!" Cyborg barked, nearly toppling over Beast Boy.
"Cyborg!" He grimaced, turning back to face Robin.
"You need to calm down."
"Did you even bother to see what he did to my computer? Man I had important files on that."
"Yeah like the one with Bumblebee in a bi-"
"SHUT IT!" The human half of his face started to change scarlet but Robin couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or embarrassment.
"Beast Boy as punishment, you'll have trash and dish duty for the rest of the month." Beast Boy's jaw dropped.
"You can't be serious. Dude, that's totally unfair!"
"Don't argue with me. I don't want to hear it. Starting today you'll be expected to scrub the dishes completely clean. As for the trash, you'll sort out all of the recyclables." Robin then turned to look at Cyborg.
"And Cyborg, if I so much as see a single bruise on Beast Boy, you'll be restricted from driving the T-car unless it's absolutely necessary."
"No way man! That ain't fair!" Cyborg hollered.
"Do I make myself clear?" Robin glared at them, making them slightly flinch under his intense gaze.
"But Rob-" They started.
"I SAID DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" His voice boomed, causing their hands to fly to their foreheads in a salute.
"Yes sir!" Beast Boy and Cyborg yelled. Robin was a little taken back by their weird behavior but quickly shook it off as he started for the kitchen, attempting to pry open the now broken refrigerator.
"Looks like we're going to have to restock on the eggs." Robin mumbled, feeling the yellow goo drip on his hand.
It was around three o'clock when school had finally let out for the day. The hallways were filled with the sounds of locker doors slamming, talking, laughter, and the occasional shout from teachers who were looking for a certain student to discus missed or failed assignments. Rachel tuned the lock, entering her combination, pulling it open as soon as she heard it click and grabbed her homework for the night. She wasn't aware of the group of girls standing behind her until she turned to leave.
"Look girls, it's the anti-social freak." Rachel's eyes narrowed at the girl with long blonde hair.
'Of all the times to run into these bimbos.' She moaned to herself.
"Or I guess looks can be deceiving." The girl who everyone knew by Brianna smirked.
"What are you talking-"
"We saw you with Boy Wonder yesterday and well we've all been wondering, are you two dating?" Rachel heard muffled laughter coming from her friends.
Rachel felt herself tense up. Somehow she knew this would come up but her of all people?
"I don't have time for this." She growled, slamming her locker shut and tried to walk away but Brianna had somehow ended up in front of her.
"I'm sorry Rach, I didn't mean to go and make you all embarrassed. Here, consider this a piece offering." Dropping something in the palm of her hand, Rachel gazed down at the packet. Her eyes grew wide, feeling anger rise inside of her.
"You're sick." Rachel threw the condom on the ground as she stormed off out of the school. Laughter erupted from the girls while Brianna smirked mischievously.
"Oh I'm going to get a kick out of this."
A/N: Yeah it's short I know but it's still a working progress. Depending on how things go, the next update will probably be quicker than last time but I'm not promising anything. So I hope this chapter wasn't a let down and stuff but the only way for me to know is if you guys review :)
