Just Another Day: Chapter one by: NotYourAveragePsycho

"Class, open your books to page 450. Please read the blue section," came the teacher's voice. The students groaned. Well, all the students groaned except for one. Garfield Logan turned the pages of his science book happily. This was biology class, the one class that he was passing with flying colors. He read the section with ease, understanding each word. His gaze traveled to the girl next to him.

She had short purple hair and very pale, grey skin. Her violet eyes scanned the page, her brain not really taking in any information. The girls name was Raven Roth. By looking at her, you might figure that she was an unfeeling outcast. You would be wrong. Despite her usual attire, consisting of mainly blacks and blues, she was a very kind person. Raven loved reading and writing and was the voice of reason in her group of friends. Garfield smiled. His favorite feature was the fact that Raven Roth was his girlfriend.

They hadn't always gotten along, she the quiet type and he the joker. Soon, however, they became friends through other companions. One thing led to another, and they were best friends. Last year, junior year, Gar mustered up the courage to ask her out. To his surprise, she said yes. The two had been inseparable ever since.

Gar was brought back to reality by the slamming of a book. He looked up to see his best friend, Victor Stone, glaring at the textbook as if it had insulted him. Gar chuckled. Victor never did like biology too much. Another teen with black, spiky hair lifted his head. His name was Richard Grayson. He was the adoptive son of Bruce Wayne, the corporal leader of Gotham City. However, Richard didn't let that go to his head. He was just an ordinary guy to his friends, just the way he liked it.

A note in the form of a paper airplane flew across the room and hit another girl's head. She was Kori Anders, quite possibly the sweetest person on the face of the Earth. She was very tall and skinny with long, radiant red hair and beautiful green eyes. She looked at the note and unfolded it carefully. Her eyes glided across the paper and she smiled. A note was scribbled under the message and sent soaring back. Gar followed the plane's path. It landed in the hands of Terra Markov.

Terra had long, blonde hair and big blue eyes. She opened up the note and laughed at what was written. The teacher looked up, only to find nothing out of the ordinary. The girls had plenty of experience in the art of note passing. They were twelfth graders after all. The letter was tossed to yet another reader. Karen Beacher was Victor Stone's girlfriend. Though, she preferred the name Bee. Her hair was done in two buns, her clothes, as always, were yellow and black. She uncrummpled the note and read it quickly. Before she could respond, the lunch bell rang. A collective sigh came from the students. Even the teacher hurried to the sacred half hour of free time.

Lunch was the only time, besides maybe PE, that you could hang out and talk and eat without getting in trouble. Everyone had his or her place in the eating area. The preps ruled the cafeteria. The Goths and drug addicts hung out behind the cafeteria. The punks ate in front of the band room next to the band geeks. The theater group was seated by the gym. The jocks ate on the bleachers with the cheerleaders and the nerds ate by the front office. Everyone else sat in the quad at the tables. This is where you find the main characters of this story.

The group was made up of 10 people, each one unique. The leader was Richard Grayson. Kori Anders was his girlfriend. Gar and Raven were a couple as well as Victor and Bee. Tristan and Jennifer along with Roy and Terra were also together. The teens were very close. Little did they know, senior year was waiting not so patiently to rock their foundation. This year was going to be a roller coaster. They would have to hang on tight to survive this whirlwind.
