I'm In Love with Your Alter Ego

Chapter 7: Gossip Spreads Like Wildfire

"Is it really true? Brittany and Robin are a 'thing' now?"

"Who would've thought."

"She always gets all the hot guys."

"Never knew Robin had a thing for the preppy and snobby type."

"I thought he was with Starfire?"

The school was filled with whispers along with a couple of disappointed groans from a few girls. As Rachel walked down the far end of the English hallway where her locker was, the noises ceased and everyone's attention was on her.

'Why are they staring at me?' Rachel wondered, becoming more and more uncomfortable with each additional glance.

"Hey Rachel, looks like you got some competition. Better claim him fast before Britt does." Rachel had recognized that voice. It was one of her friends.

"I don't know how many times I have to tell you people. There's nothing going on between me and the boy blunder." She didn't bother to look behind her, but instead chose to focus on opening her locker.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Who'd want to date someone as nerdy and anti-social as you."

'Stay calm Raven. She's just another ditz that doesn't have her head screwed on tight enough.' Rachel fought hard to contain her emotions, especially her anger. She really couldn't afford to reveal her other identity in front of the whole school.

"Whatever." She simply said as she jerked the locker door open and started to place a couple of notebooks inside.

"Aw, I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings?" The girl asked sarcastically. Rachel ignored her, grabbing everything that she needed for her next class.

"Maybe if you'd stop kissing up to the teachers someone would actually want to talk to you." Again she didn't answer. Rachel closed her locker and continued on her way to the next class as if she wasn't there at all. The lack of response made the girl mad. No way was she going to be embarrassed like this. Especially by some…some-

"Freak!" She blurted out in a high pitched voice.

Rachel stopped dead in her tracks. She could no longer control her emotions and soon enough, a loud crack then a thumpechoed throughout the quiet atmosphere. A couple of students had jumped from the sudden noise while others searched for the source of it. Rachel turned around slowly and glared at the frightened girl with one of the most disturbing and horrific expressions any human being has ever and will ever see.

"What did you call me?" Rachel asked in a dangerously low voice.

The girl gulped.

"Uh…um, I-I forget."

"Oh really? Does everything escape your mind that easily?"

"Amelia, I think you should just leave her alone." One of her friends muttered.

Amelia scowled, "I-I'm n-not afraid of you R-Rachel. This is a free country and I have the right t-t-to speak my mind."

Another crash.

Rachel was about to retort but before she could say anything, the school bell rang. Everyone started to panic, realizing that they were late for class. Amelia and her posse took the opportunity to make a break for it before they would meet an untimely death.

'She's extremely lucky.' Rachel fumed, her grip tightening on the handle of her bag. After calming herself down, she started walking towards the school office to get a late pass. Little did she know, a petite blonde-haired girl with blue irises was watching her the whole time.

"It can't be. Not here." She whispered fearfully.

"I can't find Raven." Beast Boy was the last one to walk in. Robin was at the computer, searching for information on the current situation.

"Isn't she in her room?" Cyborg asked the green titan.

"I checked but she didn't answer, and I knocked, like, five times."

"Maybe she already left." Robin replied, hitting a few more keys before he finally found what he was looking for.

"Yes, perhaps friend Raven has already done the kicking of the bad guy butt." Starfire added excitedly.

"Heh, probably. If she was able to put the Hive behind bars with little trouble, then I doubt she'll have any trouble with whoever's causing trouble now."

"This is bad." Robin mumbled causing all three titans to look at their leader then at the screen. There were a bunch of red dots scattered across the map and it seemed that they were all heading in the same direction, towards the high school.

"We got to stop them before they reach the school. Titans go!" They wasted no time as they darted out of the room and headed for the garage.

"Don't forget, your essay is due Monday. I won't accept it if it's late." Ms. Ables informed her class while finishing up the notes on the chalkboard. As soon as the bell rang, everyone gathered up their things and left to start their two days of freedom.

"Miss Roth?" Rachel sighed.

So close.

She turned around slowly, "Yes Ms. Ables?"

Setting down her piece of chalk, the older woman's cheery smile turned into a slight frown. "You seem troubled today. Is there something wrong?"

"It's uh… it's nothing."

"Oh come now Rachel, if it was nothing than it wouldn't be bothering you."

Rachel didn't want to tell her that she had almost pummeled someone in the hallway. The last thing that she needed was a detention on top of everything else today.

"It's just the usual high school drama but I can handle it." She told her teacher. Ms. Ables was still concerned, but nodded.

"I see. Well, all I can say is that the best thing to do is to not let it get to you. Don't want my favorite student to be falling behind in her studies." Rachel couldn't help but smile at the woman. She has always been looking out for her ever since she first enrolled in this school.

"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

"Now, you should be going dear. Wouldn't want you to miss your ride home."

Just before Rachel left, she heard Ms. Ables call out, "Have a nice weekend dear."

"You too." She called back then walked out of the classroom.

As soon as the sun had hit her face, Rachel could feel all of the frustration and stress just roll off her. She was finally free, or so she thought.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh my god what is it n-" Rachel's eyes widened when she noticed a familiar looking blonde standing before her.

"Terra?" She gasped with her mouth slightly agape.

"What are you doing here?" She asked again but this time with a little more anger.

Uh oh. Did she know who she was? If she did then her secret probably wouldn't last much longer. Knowing Terra, she'd probably tell Brittany and her friends. Rachel couldn't let that happen. Maybe she didn't really know it was her. Maybe this girl wasn't Terra. Maybe she should stop talking to herself and deal with this issue before something bad happens.

"Excuse me? I'm here for the same reason as everyone else in this school, to get an education." This didn't seem to satisfy her. She scowled at Rachel but before she said anything, she took her hand and led her around the side of the school, where no one would hear their conversation.

"You're not fooling me, Raven."

She knows. The gig's up Raven, the traitor's got you all figured out…but how could she have known?

Terra saw Raven's bewildered expression, causing her to laugh a little.

"No one else has the ability to blow things up whenever they have a temper tantrum. Seriously, I thought you had better self-control than that Rae Rae."

"Don't call me that. I shouldn't even be talking to you after what you did to us, Beast Boy especially." Terra's eyes softened the smirk on her face slowly turning into a frown.

"I didn't mean to hurt him, to hurt any of you." Her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Yeah, sure you didn't." Raven replied sarcastically with her arms crossed.

"It doesn't matter what I say to you does it Raven? You'll never listen, even when I admit that I really screwed up." Terra spat back at her.

Raven was silent.

"What? No come back?" She growled.

Raven still didn't answer. Her eyes darted to her left then the right. Raven wasn't sure where it came from but she had a bad feeling like something terrible was going to happen.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Terra waved her hand in Raven's face.

"Stop!" Raven slapped her hand away and shushed her. After a few seconds, she saw a couple of robots gather on a nearby rooftop. Curious, Terra turned her attention towards the sky.

"I think we have a problem here." Raven grumbled as more robots started to appear on other rooftops.

"Oh shit." Terra swore when she got a better look at one of them.

"This can't be happening again."

A/N: I'm going to stop it right there. Yeah, I know... I added Terra to the mix. Sorry to all you Terra haters out there. I also want to apologize for the short chapter but I really had to fight through my writer's block so that you guys wouldn't have to wait again like last time. Well, hope you guys enjoyed it. R&R! :)
