Chapter 2: Dazed and Doubtful
The next day, Raven was just sitting in her homeroom, being a bother to no one and minding her own business when…
"HEY! Did you get the picture!? Did you!?" Jinx asked, running into the homeroom.
"Maybe…" Raven said, reading her book.
"Come on show me!" Jinx whined.
"Here," Raven said handing Jinx her phone with the picture already expanded.
"Oh wow!" Jinx said, about to either faint or pee, "They are super hot!"
"I rode to the auto shop with them, Victor had to drop them off," Raven explained closing her book, a bit annoyed.
"YOU DID!" Jinx gasped, "No, fair! What were they like?"
"Oh I'm sure you'll see today," Raven said sarcastically, "By the way…what are you wearing?"
"Oh this," Jinx said referring to her pink monster boots, matched with pigtails, and a black mini dress, "Well I didn't know if should go prep or Goth okay…"
"So you went freak chic?" Raven asked.
"Is it that bad!" Jinx asked.
"Almost as bad as Terra's 'Skiing Accident'…" Raven said, thinking about her own real nose.
"Oh gawd no!" Jinx said.
"Just ask Argent for some clothes, she always has some back ups, and both of the twins are Goths," Raven said, trying not to think of the purple headed twin.
"Good point thanks," Jinx said running out of the room.
Raven sighed, what was she going to do? She would never go to the dance, but was it just the fact that his hair was her favorite color? It wasn't like she was actually interested, he had just caught her off guard, that's all. Then again it wouldn't hurt to get close to somebody, so Zatara would get off her back, literally! (What a creeper!) But there was also the fact that Victor would rub it in her face if she even talked to him, let alone go on a date. Wait, what! A date! No, that is defiantly out of the question! Uhg, and then there was naïve Jinx…. Maybe Raven was just reading into the situation a little too much, all he did was hit on her. If anything he's a perv, a really hot, less creepy perv….
"Uh Raven?" Aqua asked.
"What…" Raven said mildly.
"You've been sitting there, staring at the wall, and the bell rang for first period about ten seconds ago. Are you okay?" he asked, concerned.
"It did! Uh, yeah I'm fine, just deep in thought, and stuff. Okay thanks…" Raven said, almost sprinting for the door.
"Okay…" Aqua sweat dropped, this was not going to end good, he thought.
When Raven got to first period, she saw Jinx in a new attire, much better. She figured she might as well sit next to her. It would look weird if she didn't, since Jinx was patting the seat next to her, giving Raven wide eyes. Rolling her own eyes, Raven sat down timidly, hoping Jinx hadn't met the twins yet.
"This better?" Jinx whispered, pointing to her ensemble.
"Much," was Raven's short reply.
Just then the two people she was dreading came in the room…the twins. Malchior swaggered in like he was on the red carpet, since everybody was looking at him anyway, and beside him Rorek simply walked in, giving off a cool air about himself. The teacher gave their introductions, and told them to sit somewhere. Of course the only available seats were the three behind Jinx and Raven.
"Hi again," Rorek said sweetly, sitting behind them.
"Hello, is right. Who's your friend, gorgeous?" Malchior asked.
Raven could almost feel the excitement running off Jinx, " Sit down, idiot!" Rorek said, kicking him from his desk.
"Whatever," Malchior said simply, turning his back on the girls and sitting next to his brother.
"I swear…" Rorek muttered, he had apparently been through this enough times.
Right when the teacher was about to give her lesson, a student ran in the room and sat in the last seat behind Raven, and beside Malchior. The teacher scolded him for being late, and then continued. Jinx bit her tongue, and looked away from the student, while Raven just slammed her head on the desk below her.
"Hey Raven!" the student said perkily from behind her.
"Zatara…" Raven murmured, trying her best not to scream from the frustration of first period.
Once Raven said his name Rorek laughed, but quickly shut up and said, "wow…"
"I bet your having a fun time, princess," Malchior said, kicking Raven's seat.
"…" Raven gave him the finger, enough said.
Finally after another 35 minutes, Raven was free to go, but sadly Zatara was one step ahead of her. At the end of class he was waiting by her locker, much to her dismay.
"What!" Raven spat.
"Well, I know it's girls choice but--" he tried to ask.
"No!" Raven said, opening her locker and hitting Zatara with it.
"But--"
"I said no! Get the picture, and leave me alone," Raven stated, grabbing her books and leaving him stunned, and heartbroken. (but who really cared about his heart right?)
"Burn!" Garfield said, from the corner where he was watching.
"Calm down, that's not going to stop him," Raven said, "Tell Victor to set him straight during football practice, ok?"
"Sure," he said running to his next class.
Sighing in Relief, she walked to her next class as well, where she was happy to find was twin free. The day progressed slowly but surely, and it was finally time for some eats in the lunch room. Raven had a weird feeling in her stomach as she made her way there, but shook it off. It was like she thought of something, but then quickly forgot it, oh well it probably wasn't important. Walking to her usual seat, she was happy to see Argent and Bee already there eating with Victor.
"Hi guys," Raven said sitting down next to an empty seat, and Argent.
"What's up girl?" Bee said in response, Victor just smiled a knowing smile.
"Glad you sent Jinx to me, Raven. She looked…well it wasn't good," Argent said, trying not to think of the horrible outfit.
"Yeah, I think she was a bit confused," Raven told her.
"Hello everyone!" Jinx said, walking up to their table with Rorek, she had chosen her favorite twin by the looks of it, "It's okay if Rorek sits with us right?"
"Yeah!" Victor said, dragging Rorek to the seat next to him, where jinx sat on the other side.
One by one everyone arrived, and lunch could officially start. Raven didn't really mind Rorek, he was actually kind of funny, and Jinx seemed to really like him. It was then Raven realized the seat next to her and Argent was still empty. Panicking at the thought of Zatara trying to sit there, she texted Victor from across the table.
Raven: What the hell am I going to do! There is a empty seat next to me Vic!
Victor: Shit! Gurl ur in deep trouble if Z shows up! XD
Raven: not funny… -.- ok well wtf am I going to do if he does!?!?!
Victor: hmmm we cud get purple head 2 sit next 2 u 3
Raven: ur no help! This is not the time for that!!! : (
Victor: 3 3 3 behind you! XD
Raven: what!
"Oh…" Raven said as Malchior sat next her.
"Joyous occasion! Our other twin friend has arrived!" Star exclaimed, clapping.
"Joyous indeed," Victor said, trying not to laugh for raven's sake.
"Okay, so if you had to pick a dress for the dance what color would it be, Raven?" Jinx asked
"What is the relevance to this question?" Raven asked, finding it harder to talk.
"I would also like to know!" Star exclaimed again.
"Why does it matter?" Raven asked, not caring.
"Off that excruciating subject, I heard Zatara put the moves on you after first period," Robin said.
"So?" Raven said.
"She hit him in the face with her locker, I saw the whole thing you guys!" Garfield laughed.
"Nice, so that's where he got the bruise on his face in third period," Aqua smirked.
"Guilty…" Raven muttered.
"and the blood stain on her locker," Rorek said.
"Anybody up for a coffee after school?" Argent asked, getting tired of everyone trying to make Raven feel uncomfortable.
"Sure…" Raven said timidly.
"Count us in!" Jinx agreed, grabbing Rorek's arm.
"Us?" Rorek managed to say through all of the laughter.
"Cool, anybody else meet at star bucks, I need a big sugar buzz," Argent said.
"You in Mal?" Rorek asked.
Malchior just sat there staring off into space, and had probably not even heard the conversation or the one before.
"Yo," Raven said hitting him pretty hard in the shoulder, "Your brother's asking you a question."
"What?" he asked, a bit out of it.
"Coffee after school?" Rorek said snapping his fingers in front of Malchior's face.
"Ok…" he said shortly.
"Wait a second!" Aqua said loudly.
"What?" Bee asked.
"I just realized something that's all…" Aqua said, glancing in Raven's direction and then Malchior's. They have both been a bit dazed today…I wonder why, thought Aqua.
A/N: I think we all know why, right kids? So anyways there's another chapter after this one, if you're bored read something else, don't bother to flame please.
