HIGH SCHOOL- DAMIRAE

Ch 7: Curious

Raven's POV:

About 6 months....This is only time you have left, daughter.....Then Earth will be mine.... You must be thinking how this is possible...but you will be able to figure out soon...After all you are half-human.... Enjoy your 6 months.......

"NO,"  I woke up suddenly. I need to stay strong. This burden is too much to bear. I got up from bed to see Kori making breakfast. "Nightmare?" she asked, "I also get them sometimes, not a big deal. Hurry up, or you'll be late for school."     Ohh no, I forgot about school. Darn school!!!

Damian's POV:

I reached school early today. I'll teach those stupid Titans a lesson for talking behind my back. I saw Gar entering and bluntly asked him, "What did you tell Grayson? Speak now."  Gar was startled, " What are you talking about dude? Chill."   "Drop your act. You all told Grayson about me helping Rachel."    I saw rest of the Titans entering and approaching us.   Gar spoke out, " Why always accuse us for everything. Why would we tell Grayson about a new girl so soon?"    Tracie said, "Believe me, Damian. We did not make any communication with Grayson yesterday."

If they didn't, then who told Grayson about it? Does Grayson and Rachel know each other. I'll have to keep a watch on her.

Raven's POV:

I need to stay away from Damian. Then Emiko will trouble me less. As soon as I reached school, I sat down beside Tracie. Me, Tracie and Damian sharing the same time-table is troublesome.  I avoided his gaze during all the classes but still I could feel being watched over by him.  During the lunch, I didn't feel hungry at all and sat down alone on the school stadium stand.  I chose to close my eyes and relax.

Damian's POV:

I rushed to the cafeteria during lunch but Rachel was nowhere to be seen. The Titans were sitting in there usual place, with two chairs empty. I asked them about Rachel. Donna replied, "You are still hung up on that matter, I see. To be honest, we are also quite surprised about it. Are you sure Dick knows about it?"      "Yes, I'm sure. He asked me whether I borrowed my P.E. clothes to someone or not?"      "Strange. By the way, Rachel said she wasn't hungry and looked troubled all day. She probably headed to the stadium stand."

She is troubled after causing trouble. She is really suspicious.

Raven's POV:

As soon as I closed my eyes, Trigon spoke up, in my mind, "Why don't you just give up, daughter Instead of troubling yourself, you could rule the world with me."     "I don't want to rule anything. You took my mother away from me. Earth is the only thing I can protect now. You won't have your way."     "Things will happen in my favour. The game has already begun......."

Suddenly, I felt someone touching my shoulder.  I shot my eyes open, and was almost about to scream, when I saw Damian standing beside me. He seemed to surprised at first. Then he looked at me with stern eyes, "Did you do something wrong that you're  hiding. You looked scared as if you're caught doing something bad."   Does he know about me?    I whispered, "No, what are you talking about?"     "Then what are you doing here?"        "That's what I should ask you."      "Umm...uh. Well, give me back my P.E. clothes."     "Ohh, well. They're in my locker. I'll give you back later."     "Make sure you do," with that he was about to walk away.

Then he suddenly turned back at me and handed me a small bottle of juice. "Feed yourself. You shouldn't stay weak. People won't always be around to help you, so protect yourself," he grumbled and trodded off.    Does he think I'm a weak damsel in distress?!   But somehow behind his arrogant words, I felt his concern, though it was not much.
