Exploding Food ((open~))

[Starfire]

Starfire, or rather Kori, glanced down at the paper she was previously given that listed her classes, or so the Titans and other school attendants explained to her. "Mmm...." Starfire lightly groaned to herself, still looking at the paper in confusion. She jumped, squeaking a bit when the bell rang. The paper was then snatched from her. Her green eyes looked up, startled.

"You're late to your next class." Announced a rather old woman. Starfire said nothing, she didn't know what to say to the woman. The lady looked up at her and crossed her arms. "Name?" She demanded. Starfire blinked. "N...Name..?" Starfire repeated. "Yes, tell me what your name is!" The lady snapped. "K-Kori Anderson.." She finally replied, remembering who she was suppose to be. The paper was shoved back into her hands. "Hurry up and go to class, it's around the corner to the left." The woman grumpily directed. Starfire waited before sighing with relief for her absence.

Racing around the corner, she swung the door open wide, freezing when she realized she stopped the class. "Forgive my intrusion.." She spoke softly as she walked inside and sat down. "I take it you are Miss Kori Anderson..?" he teacher asked her. She was a younger teacher than the one she met in the hallway. Starfire nodded to her. The teacher wrote something down, and assigned Stations.

Starfire was assigned with a mixture of boys and girls. She felt a bit awkward, seeing as how they all knew each other and she didn't even know the first letter of their first name. she crouched in her seat a bit, and making it creek, so they looked at her. she glanced around at them and smiled sheepishly.

About halfway through the class, they were cooking some sort of dish she knew nothing about. She blinked as they did their work. "Why don't you do something? You've been sitting there the whole class period." Said an annoyed male who got pushed a bit by another female. "Please, you've barely done work yourself, so when you want to correct and make someone do something you better set a better example." Spoke the female. "It.. It's okay, he was correct.. I, should do something." Starfire defended him, seeing how they both got annoyed with one another. The last thing she wanted was a fight.

Staring at their creation, Starfire blinked, a little confused on what to do. Okay, let's try really confused. She bit her bottom lip slightly as she grabbed something and dabbed it in a bit before wrapping her fingers around another ingredient and placing a bit inside. Then it started to rapidly bubble. she blinked, wondering if it was supposed to do that. It started to slowly reach towards the top, then went straight up into the air. Starfire squeaked loudly from surprise as she was splattered with it along with the other students. Her partners glared at her. I.. wish to apologize..." She mumbled to them, not even looking at them. "Forget it, don't even do anything next time, you were helping by staying out of the way." The first male snapped. "The least you could do is help us clean it up.." Spoke another male. "She'll probably blow that up too, don't even try." He said sourly as he grabbed a rag. Starfire cleaned herself up and sat down, eyes sad as she watched them.

[vii]

This wasn't his class but as one of the new students they had plunked him in it while they dealt with his paperwork. How much harm could a student do in a cooking class?

Seemed that the odd looking red head had proved them wrong on that one. Seth was quite amused as the bubbling started, then the spluttering and finally the massive slopping noise as the pot exploded over the nearby students.
The reaction from the red head wasn't quite what he expected, most kids laughed at creating something like that but seemed not the case this time.

Picking up a nearby rag Seth pulled himself out of the chair he'd been sitting in quietly for the class. Put right at the back out the way so he didn't interfere or distract anyone. Sliding a chair next to Star he held out the cloth "Here, you've got a little on you still." Sitting down in the chair he just moved "First day blues too huh?"

Glancing around the class to see if the teacher was going to bother with them but it seemed that the class troublemaker was keeping her attention for them. "I'm Seth, its my first day too. Though wish my entrance was as explosive as yours" The teen grinned softly and his tone was playful at least "I think they called your name out earlier but I was reading so your going to have to forgive me for not knowing it."

[Starfire]

Starfire sighed slightly again, for about the tenth time in a total of five minutes. She wished that another Titan had been in this place called a classroom. In all truth she wished she was in the tower? This is the job of normal people? She thought to herself as she watched her partners clean the mess up. Another sigh escaped her lips. It is safe to say I do not get along with them.. She closed her green eyes.

Starfire's eyes opened again when she heard a chair slide over and stop next to her. It was a boy, roughly her age. "I do not feel blue.. You do not look blue either.." She told him as she blinked. She didn't understand what he meant, but of course that was obvious. What was her excuse going to be this time? She groaned silently as herself.

"It is, very nice to meet you Seth." She told him, feeling slightly happier that someone was talking to her that wasn't angry. She then sighed. "I do not believe you would have wished for that to happen.. Are all students this way...?" She asked him, head tilting a bit to the side in curiosity.

Starfire blinked again. "It is alright, you are forgiven." She said with a smile as she took the towel from him finally and cleaned the spot off that he had mentioned earlier. "I am Kori Anderson."

[vii]

"Nice to meet you Kori" Seth smiled, though he was confused by her talking about blue things. Then it dawned on him "Oh blue used that way means a bit sad. Guess its kinda confusing if your not from about here. " It hadn't crossed Seth's mind that this girl might be from another planet more that English wasn't her native language.

"Are they always like this?" Seth shrugged looking about "I honestly couldn't say, at a guess some will be and some won't. Part of the horror of high school, finding new friends and who are the people to avoid."

Looking over at the kids cleaning up the explosive food Seth grinned "I guess your right, I have no idea how to make food do that. Though its a much better way to start off than a simple Hi and then sitting at the back of the class silently. So where are you from Kori, I'm guessing its not anywhere near here. I hope to travel one day, maybe I can put it on my list of possible destinations."

[Starfire]

"Oh.. Then, Yes, I would be very blue..." Starfire agreed, finally understanding what he meant by 'first day blues', seeing of how neither of them was blue. she really wished she knew about the English language more, but she just used what she had absorbed from Robin from the time the first met. She smiled slightly to herself at the memory. Even then she had smiled as she flew away from them.

Starfire blinked and looked over at him as he spoke again. "Horror? Does it get, bloody, does it? Like in the movies?" She asked him. Raven likes horror...[/color] She thought to herself as she looked down at the tabletop that was now clean.

"I see.. So it is not common for it to do that..." Starfire mumbled, still a bit upset with herself. She blinked, then froze up when he asked where she came from. "Uhh....." She trailed off, looking to the side. "Uh.. Um, could you explain this to me once more? I do not understand where to go as of next..." She said, pulling out her schedule as she placed it in his hands, hoping to quickly change the subject.

[vii]

"Only if you get into fights" Seth nodded "those are probably best avoided. More the scary parts than the gore. You like horror films?"

When Kori changed the subject Seth frowned a little but didn't push, perhaps she was one of those refugees from another country that was at war or something so didn't like to talk about it. "Sure I'd be happy to help you find your next class. Pretty sure mines is near there. Since we're both new we should stick together and help each other out. Us against the world and all that jazz" Seth grinned softly before explaining quickly since he figured if Kori hadn't got the blue thing or what he meant by horror "Just mean that new people should help each other out, since most people forget what its like to be new. Unless I'm annoying you?"

[Starfire]

"Ah.. Um, well they are quite enjoyable to view, but it is my friend that is more happy to see it." Star explained with another smile, brighter than the one before.

Star bit her bottom lip a bit, rubbing her arm slightly. Maybe changing the subject was too sudden, or laying it on thick that she wasn't from here. Well obviously she wasn't from here, anyone could see that by just looking at her. She didn't have her metal-shields (or I'm assuming that's what they are) on her arm or neck, but she did have a tight tank top on with a lower skirt than the one she usually wore so it would fit school standards. Both were purple.

He spoke some more, and she stood up form her chair, guilt washing over her because she believed now that she had hurt his feelings. "You are doing no such thing!! I apologize, I did not mean to make you feel so!" She told him as she grabbed him, hugging him tightly. "Please, you must not be angry!" She told him, rather in panic of losing someone she just met when she really needed someone beside her.

[vii]

"Your friend likes horror films, cool" Seth smiled and the next thing he knew Kori was hugging him and saying she was sorry for something she hadn't done.

The hug he didn't mind so much, it was more the fact it was so sudden. Not to mention that it was in the middle of class and people were staring and whistling at them.

"Uh Kori, you've not done anything wrong. I was joking. You can stop the hugging now. People are going to be thinking we're dating and as far as I'm aware we're not. Unless this is you asking me out?" Seth blinking in confusion, really not sure what to make of this whole thing. "I was just wanting to check you didn't mind me hanging around. Really not angry, not even a little" Seth smiled again, this girl was nuts but in a really friendly way. Safe to say he had never met a girl like that before. Not his taste for dating but certainly someone he could spend time around.

[Starfire]

Starfire smiled, having a feeling that if he could meet Raven, then they would get along, at least she wanted to believe that.

Starfire then blinked as she heard whistling. That she knew what it meant. Quickly letting go of him she sat down, face bright red. Now she was entirely glad none of the Titans were in this class, especially Robin.

Starfire nodded slightly as he spoke, then quickly shook her head. "N-No.. I.. did not mean to... I am not what you would say, available.." She told him quietly, still embarrassed. Maybe she was a little too friendly. She should tone that down a bit before it led her to big trouble."I meant no harm by my actions, I apologize..." She told him, face going a deeper red, really wishing she could go invisible, her stomach turning slightly, feeling a bit sick. She had more guts than this often times, she guessed when it came to interacting with normal people, she was seriously not meant to fit in.

[vii]

"Hey no harm done" Seth smiled "They are all just jealous the cutest girl in class hugged me and not them." Now free from the hug Seth shifted a little to get comfy in his chair once more.

First day at school was certainly not what he expected it to be. In fact it seemed to be as far from his ideas that he was pretty sure it had wandered right off the map and was floating some place in space.

Now that things had settled down and people had got over the hugging and went back to their work Seth smiled at Starfire "How about if we make a deal, if you do or say something that bothers me I'll let you know and if I say something your not sure about you just ask? If we're going to be hanging out together seems like a plan, don't you think?"

Seemed like a decent idea in his head, though there was always the chance that it might come across as an insult but considering that in the space of ten minutes they had had a couple of misunderstanding and a hugging sesson Seth was pretty sure that if the two of them were intending to work on a friendship that this sort of thing was needed.

[Starfire]

Starfire blinked, and then blushed again. "That most certainly can not be true, they are many other prettier girls in here.." She said quietly, not really thinking much of herself. She didn't need to, after all, she had someone she was happy with. she didn't need anyone else's opinion.

Now Star couldn't help but to go into daydream world.Of course it was full or more memories than fantasies like in other girl's heads. Now she desperately missed the Titans.She kept that well-hidden from her facial expression though.

Star was so busy thinking, she barely noticed it when Seth started to speak to her again, but she finally did notice and caught the majority of it. "It is the deal." Star said with a smile and a nod. She really hoped she didn't nor ever would say anything to bother him, she didn't like hurting other people's feelings.

Star blinked and went back into a thinking session, not even blinking as she went deep into the thoughts of her mind. Up until a pencil smacked the side of her head. she blinked finally. "Wake up, airhead. We're willing to let you see if you can do something, just don't blow it up.." He groaned at her, obviously not pleased. "but, I am afraid I may not do it well.." She told the boy from earlier, grabbing the pencil the had hit her head. "Then stop talking to Mr. Darkside over there (assuming he was wearing dark clothing like his picture), and pay attention for Christ's sake." He told her. Star blinked. She looked over at Seth. "Christ..?" She repeated to him. The boy slammed his head on the table.

[vii]

Seth glared at the boy who threw the pencil "Watch with the throwing things moron. If you dialed back the attitude perhaps things would get moving a little smoother"

Looking at Star he smirked softly "You'll be fine, just follow the instructions and don't listen to people like him. Christ is a whole different story and not something to go into just now. I'll be back over there if you need me."

Seth chuckled softly and muttered something about Mr Darkside to himself clearly amused by the title. Apparently dressing in goth clothes meant you were evil and spawn of the Devil. Narrow minded people tended to have such views of course but he wasn't going to let that get him down. He liked how he dressed and was pretty sure that he pulled it off.

Getting back into his original seat Seth kept his attention on Star, mainly to make sure the idiot boy didn't try to annoy her again. Not that it would do Seth any good to be fighting on his first day though a quick glance around the room made it clear the teacher was also watching having caught some of the last exchange. She must have missed the pencil throw or she'd have said something or at least Seth hoped so.

Shifting his thoughts back to thoughts back to Kori Seth tried to imagine what her friends would be like. Strangely hyper and overly happy cheerleaders sprang to mind straight away, all of them talking in that odd way the other girl did which only made him grin in amusement and gave him ideas for something to sketch later on when he had some free time.

[Raven]

Raven stepped into the classroom. She got a look from the professor. "I have a note" She said, flatly. There had been a small-time robbery not too far from the school. She had gone with Jinx, much to her dismay. Despite the pink-haired girl's admittance into their little team, she still did not like a witch. Her powers were unruly to say the least, and that was not something that made her comfortable. It went over smoothly and they were able to turn them into the proper authorities easily, but that made her late to class. When she looked at her schedule she sneered. Cooking? Really? Who the hell picked out her schedule.

She sighed, taking an empty seat a few seats over from Starfire, she was apparently shuffled into her group. At least there was a friendly face in the room. Secret identities were a pain in the ass, having to change into her 'costume' and then back into street clothes wasted time unnecessarily. She sighed, shaking her head. "What happened here Kori?" She asked, raising her eyebrow at the remnants of the mess. She knew the alien had never really cooked before. Sure, there was the occasional Tamaranean dish she prepared that everyone either didn't eat or pretended to eat and discreetly got rid of as not to hurt the girl's feelings, but she hadn't expected her to make anything explode. Was that even possible?

She wore a pair of torn-up, black jeans. They happened to be skinny jeans, but only because of the black ,knee-high, high-heeled boots. The heel was only about two inches, but it was still very different than what she was used to. She had gone normal clothes shopping with Argent and Jinx who she thought would be the least likely to try to get her into a mini skirt or anything pink. They had, however, bullied her into buying the shoes. She liked them, otherwise they would have sat in the back of her closet, but heels were not her thing. Her shirt was her favorite. It was a corset-syled black tank top with white ties. Unfortunately due to dress code, and the weather, she was forced to also wear a black hoody. It was tight fitting and just plain black but for the ends of the sleeves that were black and white striped. She was glad to have the hood, having it there made her feel better, even if she could not wear it.

[Starfire]

Star's emerald eyes just looked back and forth between the two glaring boys as Seth snapped back to the first one's comment. She didn't know what to do or say, so stayed in the background. All she knew she would do is stop them if a fight broke out. That was all she could think of to do. Fighting bad guys was one thing but stopping another between innocent people was a whole new thing.

She watched as Seth walked away, really wishing he hadn't left her alone, seeing of how awkward she felt now as she stared at the paper and pencil in front of her. Her eyes scanned the page, not knowing any of the answers to any of them. Did students always get work on their first day? She thought it was supposed to be a fun thing, then later the work.

The door then opened and like an automatic reaction, her red-head lifted up to see Raven walk inside. Star's attention didnt't leave the paper until she heard a familiar voice near her. she turned around and saw Raven. Her eyes widened, gleaming with happiness and excitement as she jumped up and wrapped her arms around Raven tightly. "Rachel it is you my friend!!!!" Then she remembered her question and laughed sheepishly. She then grabbed Raven's hand and pulled her towards Seth. "You must meet my new companion!" Not like Raven probably had much say in the matter. She stood beside Seth, ignoring, more like oblivious to hear partner's groaning. "Seth! This is the friend I had told you about before, she is Rachel!" She cheered happily.

[vii]

When the door opened Seth looked up from his book toward the new person and had to do a second take. A cute goth girl had just entered the room and Seth wasn't sure if he had nodded off in his seat. He'd had a dream like this before. Though as it progressed it was clear this wasn't that dream.

Seemed the new girl knew Kori and Kori was happy to see the new girl who from the exclamation was called Rachel. The hugging again, seemed the red head was extremely touchy feelie. Raising an eyebrow as Kori started dragging the girl his way. That was unexpected and why did Kori look so gleeful.

Ok, now he was getting introduced to the cute goth girl and that wasn't at all what he was expecting "Uh hey?" Seth grinned slightly confused "Nice to meet you Rachel, I'm guessing your the horror fan?" What was he supposed to say to the new girl, would be weird to flirt in front of Kori, wouldn't it?

Looking back and forth between Kori and Rachel he shrugged "You've kinda caught me off guard plus I think the whole room is looking at us." It would appear Star's loud and cheery attitude had caught most of the classes attention. "Want a seat?" Seth asked grabbing a nearby empty chair, now he felt like he was babbling nonsense which was really not the impression he was wanting to give at all.
