Teen Titans Fan Fiction ❯ Musical: Adventures of Manimal and Geo-Girl ❯ First day ( Chapter 5 )

CHAPTER FIVE

 

The next day, Terra and Garfield began to attend their classes. Both of them had the same classes as was arranged. Luckily at Sea-View, only one or two classes were held each day; one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

 

Terra was having a little bit of trouble getting her brain in gear as it had been awhile since she ever had schoolwork. Garfield however, with his high IQ was already caught up with the rest of the class, and he was still going… he promised to help his step-sister later that day.

 

Still… a lot of the other students couldn't believe Garfield. Not even Jarred, whom he had begun to build what seemed to be a friendship with them… and Kiki, whom had recovered from her illness and resumed class.

 

She never knew another guy like Garfield, one who buried himself in his work, and pushed himself beyond the limits of others. “Oh no…” she thought to herself all dreamy, “I think I'm getting a crush.”

 

By the end of the morning physics class, he was in his dorm room still working. He was preparing so figures the teachers had asked for.

 

Even when a couple of students called him on his dorm-room phone, he answered gruffly, “Mmm… I specifically requested that I was not to be disturbed. These figures must be finished.”

 

The phone just kept right on ringing every time he hung up. Finally, he pulled the plug and stashed the phone away in his desk-drawer. “Ah! Perhaps we'll get some peace and quiet now!”

 

“And finally… I can't concentrate.” Terra said. She was lying on the bed with her text-books trying to brush up on the courses she was taking. “Oh, why did I ever sign up for math…? I barely passed geometry.”

 

Garfield chuckled softly, but then he carried on with his work. Still… when they found the time… they also began their investigations about the strange jungle growth on the Italian Valencia.

 

They weren't sure… but judging from satellite images they had viewed on the computer. It almost looked as if the jungle had actually increased in it's width across the land. “Maybe the satellite's malfunctioning?” Terra suggested.

 

“It could be…” Garfield said, “In the mean time I think that it's too early to make any assumptions. We'll have to continue to monitor, and perhaps even do some calculations on its fielding and surrounding areas.”

 

Terra agreed…

 

…

 

When it came time for lunch, they found Jarred sitting at a table all by himself, and he seemed to be gazing a few tables over, when he was snapped out of his trance by Garfield and Terra asking to sit with him.

 

Jarred noticed that Garfield hadn't taken any of the meat items from the food-bins. “Sorry dude… vegetarian.” he said, “I owe those animals a lot.”

 

“I hear you there…” Jarred said, “Still… I find it okay to eat meet, after all it is good for you.”

 

As the three new friends ate their lunches, Jarred starting to gaze over the tables again… Terra noticed he was starring at Kiki who was sitting with her friends a few tables over. “Jarred…?” she asked. “Are you alright…?”

 

Jarred didn't even move, and kept on gazing at Kiki. Until she and her friends got up and began to walk in the direction of his table. That's when he quickly began to act casual and ate his food as if he didn't notice her at all.

 

Garfield and Terra took in all the noticeable signs. “Jarred… do you like have a… thing for Kiki?” Garfield asked.

 

Jarred decided he had to tell someone, “Yeah… I… I guess I do.”

 

He began to tell them about the first day Kiki came to Sea-view. She was judged before understood, and girls found her to be increasingly unpopular because Kiki was shy about coming to a new school.

 

But it was at lunchtime when they first met, a lot of people had already cleared out of the room. Only Jarred on one side and Kiki on the other were left. That's when he first saw her…

 

She was very beautiful, and he was told of how shy she was. That's when she looked up and their eyes met… she felt all shy again, but Jarred, well…

He was starting to sense something special about to happen…

Some enchanted lunchtime
You may see a stranger
Someone you don't know yet
Sitting all on her own

 

(he gets up from his seat, going towards her)

 

And you'll say "hello"
And give her a smile
And ask her to sit with you for a awhile

 

“Would you mind if I sit here…?”

 

(Kiki)

 

Some enchanted lunchtime
You may see a stranger
Someone no one knows yet
And they're all having fun
You're finished your juice
You're eating your snack
Then he'll say "hello"
And you'll say it back

 

“Uh… sure… I guess.”

 

 

(Jarredwalks around to her sideof the table as she gets up)

 

(Jarred)

 

Once you have met her
You have made a friend

 

(Kiki)

Once you have met him
You have made a friend

When you meet a stranger
