It was raining; heavily. Everywhere Garfield looked he saw umbrellas of many different colors. Some purple, black, red- he shuddered disgustedly when he saw Catherina Kitten Moth run out of the school with a lacey pink umbrella over her head- and other assortment of colors that were both normal and unusual. But unfortunately, he considered himself to manly to use something as girly as an umbrella so it explained why he was the only one walking out of school that day with his big green school bag over his head.

"Awwww man."There goes my good day"he moaned moodily as he made his way home. But than he saw something that completely made up for the heavy downpour ruining his day.

There on the other side of the street-protected from the cold rain drops by a big midnight blue umbrella- was Rachael Roth.

Though the wind was blowing fiercely, her 'just reaching the ground' blue cloak was still and absolutely unaffected as she stood just outside of the school as if waiting for someone. Her hood was up and it hid her otherwise lustrous shoulder length purple hair from his view.

Garfield froze in his tracks, wondering who she was waiting for. 'Maybe she's waiting for Kori. They are best friends after all' he thought curiously. For a second he imagined making his way toward her and offering to walk her home which she would graciously accept and they would romantically walk under her umbrella to her house where he would finally receive his first kiss from her.

But before he could muster the courage to do it, her eyes met his and she approached him. Memories of that particular moment today at school filled his head, explaining why the girl of his dreams was glaring at him the way one would glare hatefully at a killer.

"Wait!! Rae!!! I can explain…" he started but it was cut of by the tip of her umbrella hitting his face followed by her fist.

He crashed into the trashcans behind him.

"How dare you humiliate me in front of the whole class? You think just because it's your birthday I won't hit you!!" she yelled furiously. Her usually emotionless tone and features completely gone. (JUST KEEP READING)

Garfield was too afraid to say anything as he cowered fearfully in front of her. She took hold of his collar and brought his face closer to hers. Her hood had fallen and her hair was damp and already sticking to her pale skinned face.

"Listen. I don't care if you're joking or if you're serious but I will not let you love me" her voice had gone back to their monotonous way as before but her eyes still glinted dangerously at him.

Without another word, she let go of his collar and let him fall with a deafening crash on top of the trash cans. Than with a satisfied smirk, she left.(keep reading!)

Garfield's head started spinning as he started to remember what he had stupidly said at school today.

Flash back…………………..

"Hey grass stain!! Wassup!! Happy birthday man" Victor greeted cheerfully as his best friend Garfield made his way to his seat.

"Yeah happy birthday BB" said Richard Grayson another one of his closest friends. As the school's rich playboy it was a surprise that he wasn't surrounded by girls at the time.

Richard's words were soon followed by other well wishers who crowded around him. Garfield raised both his hands in the air.

"Thanks dudes" he said gratefully but that was all he managed to say before the boys around him all asked him what he wanted for his 16th birthday.

"So what are you planning? What's your wish this year?" asked Wally eagerly. He was the fastest guy in school.

"Come on. Do we even need to ask? Its probably gonna be the same like every year. He's gonna wish for his dream girl" said Roy, giving a little hoot.

"So who is this lucky girl?" asked Garth with a little sarcasm at the word 'lucky'.

But Garfield didn't notice. He threw his head back proudly and with the air of a drunken man declared with much stored enthusiasm. "Rachael Roth!!"

There was silence.

But it didn't last a minute before everyone in class burst out laughing. Only Richard and Victor looked worried as they glanced at the girl in question behind them. Though her face was hidden under her cloak they thought they saw her eyes glow white with fury as everyone continued laughing without a thought to their sanity.

But everyone quickly quite down as the history teacher entered the classroom, though not before Garth leaned forward and whispered "everyone knows you're not the smartest kid in class but no one thought you would pick the one Goth girl who could handicap you for life!"

End flash back.

"Garfield?"

'Who's calling him?'

"Garfield!"

'Man he had a big headache'

"GARFIELD!!"

His eyes flew open as he bolted upright on the bed.

"Wha…what? What happened?" he asked groggily, rubbing his eyes. He was seeing multiple redheads.

Kori breathed a sight of relief and smiled. "It is glorious that you have awakened Beast Boy. I had begun to worry that Rachael had hit you far too hard. Though your house was quite too far for me to carry you so I have brought you to my humble abode for the time being"

At the sound of his crush's name, his ears perked up. But Kori's smile disappeared.

"Forgive me Garfield. I had thought declaring your love for her would surely win her favor but it is not so" she gave him a sad look "she despises you".

To her surprise, he lifted his hands in the air and gave a sight. "Oh well. It was worth it. Dude, you should have seen her. She looked totally hot in the rain. It was like a dream come true"

Kori didn't know whether to worry or laugh at the heavenly satisfied smug smile on the elfish boys face.

But before she could decide, he brought his face level with hers with desperate puppy dog eyes.

"Kori! You're her best friend! I already know what makes her angry know can you tell me what'll make her like me?"

Kori shook her head. "Apologize Garfield but I am afraid I do not know that much about her. She is quite secretive"

He started whimpering like a said puppy. "PULEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!"

Kori gave a sight. "I truly do not know. But you could perhaps find out for yourself" she advised.

Garfield threw his hands in the air excitedly. "I could spy on her!!!!"

He brought his hands around her in a tight hug. "Thanks Star! You're the best!" And without another word, he ran out of the door.

Kori quickly jumped to her feet. "Garfield! Wait! Do not go that way! Blackfire is……."

She was cut of by a girlish scream and the sound of a hand hitting a cheek. She slapped her hand to her forehead and raced out of the door.

Garfield slowly and quietly followed Rachael around for the whole day after school, humming the James Bond theme song under his breath.

Turning the corner, he spotted her playing with a kitten who was purring around her feet. Though she still had the same monotonous expression on her face, her eyes glinted with amusement.

'So she likes cats!' he thought triumphantly.

Straightening up, Rachael proceeded down the block and entered the alleyway. Than she waited for whom ever that was following her to show his face.

A hooded figure entered the alley. Rachael glared at him.

"Why are you following me?" she asked expressionlessly.

The figure lowered his hood, revealing his gray-snow white hair. He smiled.

Rachael raised an eyebrow "Malchoir?"

"Hello Rachael" he greeted her. She wanted to slap that smirk right of his face.

"What do you want?"

He shrugged. "Why can't I see my girlfriend from time to time?"

She stiffened. "X"

That did it.

Grimacing, he hit her on the shoulders and slammed her into the wall behind her. But she brought her hands up and gave him a hard shove.

"Get away from me" she yelled.

But he didn't budge.

"Get away from her!!!"

Malchoir turned, allowing Rachael a perfect view of her short elfish savior.

'Not that idiot' she thought, rolling her eyes.

'Are you showing compassion for the boy Rachael?' something pinkish inside of her thought.

'WHAT!!!'

'You heard me. Are you showing feelings for this cute little boy?'

'He's not a boy. He's just short. If I'm not wrong, he is supposedly 16. The same as you' Rachael's smarts reminded her.

'16 or not he is positively scrumptious. So cute!!'

Rachael rolled her eyes again. What the hell 'Are we really having this conversation now!!!'

'Sorry!!' both of them piped up at once.

With that conversation finished. Rachael returned to her current situation and planted a rib cracking kick into Malchoir's chest.

But he dodged it by jumping back but unfortunately he bumped hard into Garfield and they both fall with a loud crash onto the ground.

Due to his short figure, Garfield was able to move faster and he planted himself on Malchoir, preventing him from getting up. He looked at Rachael.

"RUN!!" he yelled.

She stared.

"RUN!! He can't move! Run!" he yelled louder but as soon as he said it, Malchoir's fist crashed into his face.

"You little misfit" spat Malchoir as he got to his feet but instead Rachael's boots made contact with his stomach. The blow knocked him unconscious.

With blood flowing out of his nose, Garfield could barely make out the gray skinned hand that she was offering him.

He took it.

And they ran.

After some time, they reached a small park. Not a soul was in sight.

"I think we lost him" panted Rachael, turning around.

Garfield was on the ground. The blood was still flowing out of his nose.

"GARFIELD!"

She knelt down beside him and tried to stop the bleeding. His face looked all bloody and messy but at the same time, she couldn't help but stare at how innocent he looked.

Suddenly, she felt something on the back of her head pushing her down and their lips met. And they kissed

'WHAT THE!!!!!!' her feelings screamed but something happy inside her was shouting with joy.

After sometime, their lip broke apart and she glared at him. But he looked absolutely thrilled. And he gave her a sheepish smile.

She couldn't help it. The anger vanished. Replaced by something else she didn't know.

It took sometime but she finally relented and gave a sight.

She felt love!!!
