Hey guys! I see that my crossover has made some friends! Thanks for the reviews, I'm so sorry I haven't updated for SO long. I was on vacation without a laptop…-:- shiver -:-… anyways, without further ado, A NEW CHAPTER!
The bell rang, signalling the end of a long, and rather tortuous homeroom with Edward. Pushing past his muscular but strangely cold body, she sped out of the class, with a little supernatural help. Once she got out, she ran into the nearest bathroom. Hearing a boy's yelp, she leapt out, and ran into the neighbouring, and correct, girl's bathroom.
Sliding down the wall and sitting on the dirty white and brown tiled floor, she set her books down, untied her black converses (required to complete the 'punk' look), and rubbed her sore toes. She'd never had this problem with her blue boots. Robin should never had taken this mission. Everything that had been going on, Beastboy's feelings, Edward's constant badgering, and her strange mutual attraction to Beastboy, it had all been bouncing in her mind like a volleyball being spiked over and over. Sighing, she got up and turned on the tap, the steady sound of rushing water calming her. She looked in the mirror, seeing a pale, ivory-skinned girl with chin-length violet hair, and tired eyes. After splashing some water on her face, she turned off the tap, only to see Edward Cullen leaning arrogantly on the frame of the open door.
"It's the girls' bathroom, in case you didn't notice." She snarled.
"You're going to be late if you stay in there all day." His golden eyes danced.
Was he getting some sort of sick satisfaction out of this?
"Leave me alone." She pushed past him, using some of her demonic genetics. They came in handy once in a while.
----
Edward watched Raven push past him with strength almost close to half of his.
Interesting.
He followed closely behind her, taking her dirty looks in stride. He would win her over. And Bella wouldn't mind. In other words, she wouldn't notice. He was a vampire, and his gifts came in handy once in a while.
----
Beastboy was surprised. A girl had laughed back. One that bore a striking similarity in appearance to Raven. Pale skin, haunted eyes, and a low voice on the border of being tomboyish and angry. He liked it. He said something else, a lame joke, and watched her close her eyes and laugh heartily. He grinned widely, and she smiled back sweetly. He could get used to this. Finally, his 'gift' with comedy had come in handy.
----
Emmett watched Robin struggle to make small talk. God, he was so behind with the times, and this was coming from a century old vampire.
"I think you just mean hot. We don't deal in meat around these areas." He smirked.
"Right.." Robin replied, cursing in his head.
"So, Cory, maybe you'd like to see a movie sometime?" Emmett asked, completely brushing off the idea that Rosalie would be mad.
Please, Rosalie, mad? Emmett laughed at his own denial.
Starfire watched the interesting human laugh. He was so like a child, the thick, curly hair, and the dimples. But so grown up. Like one of the fast-speakers she saw on the music channels. Like that man, Half A Dollar or the man named after her favourite candy-coated chocolate treat.
"Of course! Ro--Richard, we should all have a meeting and watch a movie! It would be most wonderful!" Starfire exclaimed without noticing the stares she was drawing.
Emmett sighed inaudibly.
Alice giggled and made plans with Starfire.
Jasper sat stiffly.
Robin looked serious.
----
The bell rang, and whilst Raven and Edward were bantering, Alice and Starfire exchanged numbers, Beastboy walked with Bella to class, Cyborg trailed behind awkwardly, Jasper waited for Alice, and Robin and Emmett exchanged stiff goodbyes.
----
Entering the English class, Raven almost leapt into the seat in the darkest corner. She scowled as Edward waved cheerfully from the doorway, turning heads like dominoes being knocked over toward her. Cyborg entered quietly, taking the seat in front of Raven. Beastboy came in chattering with Bella, and she saw Edward stiffen. Bella barely acknowledged Edward, instead, followed Beastboy to his seat next to Raven. Beastboy looked instinctively toward the darkest corner, knowing Raven would be there. Walking up to her desk, he turned away from Bella, and put his hand on hers', noticing a scowl already temporarily etched into her grim face.
"Rough day?"
"Tell me about it." She growled, staring intently at her pencil, which was slowly turning over in the groove on her desk.
"Why don't you do that instead?"
"Two words." She leaned closer toward him. He felt her breath on his neck as she whispered, "Edward. Cullen."
"What, is he annoying you?" He asked jokingly.
"Oh, what gave it away?" She raised an eyebrow, failing to notice the sarcasm she used daily. Hourly, in fact.
She must've been upset, or she would have slammed a desk into his skull for putting his hand over hers. Or maybe she was really good at acting, Beastboy could only wonder.
"Garfield? Gar?" Bella said over and over, until he turned around, her voice breaking through his thoughts.
"Hmm?" He said, pulling his olive hand from Raven's. He though he saw Raven's face soften for a second and she turned in his direction.
"I was thinking, we should completely go see a movie together." Bella said (a lot like Jessica), as she stared in his green eyes, using very single tactic she'd read in a magazine.
It worked on Jake, it should work on Gar, right? They both seemed as dense.
"Oh, yeah, sure," He said distractedly. Raven's finger was tracing on his shoulder. Part of the act?
"Rae, you think we could see a movie with Bella?" He gulped animatedly, suddenly extremely nervous and fidgety. Goosebumps rose from where her finger traced. A minature stonehenge of goosebumps.
Raven giggled unnaturally, and said, "Of course, Gar! Maybe we could double date with her and Edward." She instantly regretted volunteering extra time with Edward. She stopped tracing Beastboy's shoulder flirtatiously, the point had been made.
Keep up the act, and remember the mission.
Bella had no part in it.
Or so she thought.
