I don't have the Teen Titans in my possession.

Garfield smiled confidently at his reflection, his abnormally sharp fangs gleaming. "Looking good, Gar," he mused to himself as he combed his short, yet forever untamed hair.

During his shower, he decided to give himself a little pep talk. Victor was correct with his earlier statement- Raven had let Garfield in her room, even though she said she wouldn't. She also gave him her number- which he was obviously very happy about.

Despite the fact that he hadn't technically texted Raven, he was feeling extra good about himself for getting her number. It wasn't like he couldn't get a girl's number or anything, he just never really tried. He had a few crushes over the years, some more serious than others, but he never really found his way out of the friendzone. But this time, he wasn't just going to befriend this girl and pine over her in secret; he was going to get to know her during this trip, and if he came to the realization that he indeed liked her as much as he thinks he does, she would know.

"Come on, we gotta go!" Victor called, banging on the bathroom door.

The blonde teen grinned as he opened it. "Then let's go!"

He continued hyping himself up as he and Victor walked towards the elevator. Today was going to be a good day for Garfield.

Raven groaned loudly. Today wasn't going to be a good day.

Jinx had really dropped the ball with her whole Garfield comment- and it was driving the dark-haired girl insane.

She watched impatiently as all the students from Jump City High flocked into the cafeteria- or, "Conference Room", as Ms. Mae dubbed it. Raven sat between Jinx and Kori, feeling even more invisible than usual. The pretty redhead continuously giggled at whatever Richard, who was sitting beside her, had to say. Though Raven loved Richard like a brother, and she though Kori was super kind, they were already starting to get a little annoying.

"Hey Rae!"

Speaking of annoying, the pale girl shuddered as Garfield sat behind her, leaning forward to talk to her, and inadvertently breathing down her neck.

"Garfield," she deadpanned, not bothering to look at him. "It's Raven."

The blonde boy smiled, though she didn't see it, and leaned back into his seat. "How about you call me Gar, and I'll keep calling you Rae?" he suggested.

The dark-haired girl spared a glance at her pink-haired roommate, who was thankfully busy talking to some red-haired boy. Sighing in relief, she turned all the way around to face the boy who had somehow managed to cause her so much confusion in less than 48 hours.

"How about we call each other by the names our parents gave us?" she bit back.

Garfield's cheerful expression momentarily faltered, but he quickly regained his smile, though it didn't reach his eyes. "Awe, come on- that's no fun," he laughed as he unconsciously ran his fingers through his hair.

Raven noticed his slight change in demeanor, which sparked her curiosity, but she refrained from asking about it. "I don't do fun, Garfield," she replied in a monotone.

He opened his mouth to reply, but instead the voice of their teacher filled the room.

"Alright, dearies! Everyone is here, so we shall begin!" she announced cheerfully.

Raven turned around to face the teacher, who was dressed in an obnoxiously bright, yellow-striped dress and matching hat. The plump woman honestly looked like a cartoon, and the pale girl attempted to suppress a smirk.

Garfield was having a similar reaction, covering his mouth with his hand as he shook in silent laughter.

"So, as you know," the elderly woman continued, unaware of the amused looks her students were giving her, "there are three teams from our school; the Red, Blue, and Orange. Each team has a President, Vice President, Chief of Staff, Speaker of the House, Treasurer, and Secretary of Defense. Can I have the president of each team stand up, please?"

Raven looked around the room as three people stood up, one of them being Richard.

"Please introduce yourselves," Ms. Mae demanded sweetly.

Richard opened his mouth to start, but was cut off by a dark-skinned, unruly-haired girl. "Alright y'all, as most of you know, I'm Karen," she smirked, setting her hands on her hips. "But y'all can call me Bee. President Bee."

Raven felt the name was fitting as she inspected the girl's outfit. She was wearing a bright yellow, button-up blouse and a black skater skirt and her hair was tied into two, what Raven could only describe as, "puff balls."

"Thank you, Ms. Beecher," their teacher beamed, looking towards Richard next. "Your turn, dear."

Richard smirked confidently as he removed his sunglasses. "Well, I'm Richard Grayson- I don't go to school with you guys; I actually live here in Gotham," he shrugged.

Ms. Mae smiled, before turning her attention on the last student.

"My name's Austin, and I'm the president of the Orange team," the forgettable student announced.

"Alright, sit, sit," the older lady insisted. "Vice Presidents, stand."

Again, the pale girl glanced around at the students standing. She made eye contact with Garfield, who winked jokingly before speaking.

"I'm Garfield; my friend's call me Gar," he beamed, discreetly giving the back of Raven's chair a kick. "Aaaand all of you guys know me already!" he mused, earning a few giggles from the students.

The next person to speak was the redheaded boy beside Jinx. "Roy. VP. Blue team," he stated with a cocky smile.

Raven didn't even bother to listen to the last person, some brunette girl, as she shot a glare at the blonde teen behind her.

The pale girl sparingly listened as Ms. Mae called for the next group to stand. She watched as Kori stood for Chief of Staff, smiling brilliantly and announcing her enthusiasm, Victor stand for Speaker of the House, giving the Bee girl a daring smirk, and Jinx stand for Treasurer, obviously bored out of her mind.

"Secretaries of Defense; your turn!"

Raven felt her nerves jumble inside of her as she stood up slowly, avoiding eye contact with everyone.

The Orange team member went first, introducing himself briefly. Next was the Blue team's.

The dark-haired girl glanced up quickly, her jaw dropping slightly at the black-haired guy introducing himself.

"I'm Garth," he smiled politely, looking around the room. "And, uh, go Blue team," he shrugged, earning obnoxiously loud giggles from most of the females in the room, Kori and Jinx included. Raven couldn't help but notice he was very handsome- despite his mullet, which she chose to ignore.

When the giggling settled down, she realized all eyes were on her. "Uhm," she began nervously, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "I'm Raven- I also don't go to school with you guys, though I do live in Jump," she admitted, hugging herself as she sat back down. She fleetingly glanced at the handsome guy, making eye contact. He smiled politely before turning his attention back to the teacher, causing the pale girl to blush.

"Good thing you're not Speaker of the House," Garfield teased as he leaned towards her again.

Raven rolled her eyes as she turned to face him, unaware of how close he was. She accidentally knocked her nose into his, her previous blush deepening, while a faint red dusted the blonde's cheeks as well.

He quickly leaned away, his blush growing. "S-sorry," he smiled sheepishly.

Chapter 14!

Yay- more characters introduced! Whoohoo Titans East getting all important!

So obviously the Orange team has like no purpose, so I kinda skipped over them- I didn't want all the important characters to be from the same school!

Anyways, review? And make sure you're not skipping any chapters- I'm slowly developing the characters haha
