Ugh! The nerve of that kid! He thinks he can just do what he wants, when he wants, and doesn't care for consequences. We were partnered up for a mission earlier that day, and it was going good, until he completely went out of his way to disobey orders and screw everything up! He frickin made sure that the entire gang of rougues knew we were spying on them. God, I wish he was kicked off the team already.
"Nice going, Kid Idiot," I growled as we entered Mount Justice.
"Shut up! Its not like you've never messed up!" He retorted angrily.
"Yes, it is like I've never messed up, I'm too good to mess up." I snapped back. He glared and shoved me into the wall. He sped off like a coward before I could come back at him. God, I hate him so much. Always have, and always will. It was then that I got a call from my adoptive father.
"Hey, if you're asking when I'm gonna be home, I'm heading there now." I said into the phone.
"Alright, how did your mission go?" Bruce responded.
"Horribly, that idiot sidekick of Flash's got us caught and made me beat up all the bad guys while he got to disable the bomb." I growled. Bruce snorted into the phone.
"Okay, well, I'll see you when you get home." And Bruce hung up. I sighed and walked to the Zeta Beam.
...
I woke up the next morning to my alarm clock going off. I groaned and groggily got ready for school. I walked into the kitched too see Bruce sitting down at the table with coffee and a newspaper.
"Good morning." I greeted him. He grunted in response. Sometimes, I feel like Bruce hates me. Me as Dick, not Robin. I feel like he only adopted me to have Robin, and taking in a child was the price to pay. Eh, what ever... At least Alfred enjoyed my presence, right? I smiled as I saw the British man walk in the room.
"Ah, good morning, Master Richard," Alfred smiled and guided me to the table. Out of no where, he got a tray of food and set it in front of me. Alfred was the best.
"Thank you, Alfred!" I exclaimed as I began stuffing my mouth with food. I know, I'm not a speedster, so why do I still eat a lot? Because I can, that's why. Besides, I always work off the fat by working out all the time, not to mention the whole fighting crime thing. I checked my watch for the time and quickly got up.
"I gotta go, Alfred. Thanks for breakfast!" I smiled at him and dashed out the door with my backpack. I practically ran to school. It was my first day as a freshman, and it was exciting. I walked into the school gates, excited to see my friends again after the long summer. I spotted them in a group and bolted towards them.
"Dick! Hey! Oh my gosh, its so good to see you!" Stephanie sqealed as she huged him tightly.
"Hey, Steph! How was your summer?" He smiled and hugged her back.
"It was great! We all went to basketball camp for the first two weeks, and it was the best thinjg ever! I wish you could have joined us... It turns out, Barbra is actually good at basketball! But all Rosa did was stand and watch..." Stephanie babbled happily. Brabra smiled pridefully and Rosa rolled her eyes.
Brabra was a tall rehead who was extremely intelligent and was a sophomore in highschool. Rosa was a brunette who always wore heavy makeup and never put any effort into anything (to be honest, I'm pretty sure she's emo). Stephanie is a blonde girl who's really pretty and athletic. She also incredibly perky, which got on my nerves sometimes. We were all the same age, with the exception of Barbra.
We continued to talk in the quart yard until the announcements came on. "Richard Grayson to the office, Richard Grayson to the office," he heard them say. The whole group stared at me.
"Oooh, looks like Mr. Perfect is in trouble! On the first day too!" Brabra teased. I growled and made my way to the office. I walked in and saw a redheaded boy sitting in a chair reading a book.
"Ah, Mister Grayson, this is Wallace West, he's an exception student who is enrolling here for our honors classes. He is assigned to the same classes as you, so could you help him out until he gets settled in?" The lady at the front desk said quickly. I looked over at the boy. He had to be at least a year older than me. I smiled at him and nodded. He smiled back and got up from his seat. We walked out into the quart yard.
"This, in case you haven't noticed, is the quart yard. It is where you first go before the eight hours of torchure starts." I said cheerfully. He laughed.
"I uh, didn't catch your name, or do you always go by Mister Grayson?" He asked. I chuckled.
"The name's Richard, but you can call me Dick... Oh and do you mind if I call you Wally? It just, Wallace sounds way too formal." He smiled at that.
"Ya, I usually go by Wally, anyway. So... Do you like going here?" He looked at me kindly. My heart began to pound in my chest. Wow, that smile was so... wow. He raised his eyebrow as I stared at him. Wow, now that I actually looked at his face, he is really handsome. God, what am I thinking... Its not right to think like that about guys! Jeez, I spend way too much time with those darn girls.
"Uh... Ya I like it here... Mostly because of my friends, though. Not because of the school." I chuckled nervously as I led him to Barbra Stephanie and Rosa. Barbra looked over her shoulder and smiled.
"Hey, Dick! What happened? Who's this? Did you get in trouble?" Barbra began chattering. I smirked.
"This is Wally, he's a new student and Ive been assigned to help him out," I explained as the girls stared at him in awe.
"He's hot," Stephanie blurted, immediately covering her mouth. Wally laughed.
"Not too bad yourself, gorgeous. And what might your names be?" He flashed a charming smile at them and they all turned red. My stomach flopped in jealousy.
"I'm Stephanie, this is Barbra, and that's Rosa." Stephanie said as she stared at Wally the way an animal stares down its prey. Wally nodded and smiled.
"Friends of Dick's, I presume?" He asked, looking down at me. They all nodded without another word.
"So... Wally, the bell is about to ring, and out first class is across the quart yard, we should head over there." I said as I checked my watch. He nodded in agreement and we walked towards our class.
"You're a freshman, right?" He asked and I just nodded, "then, why do you have the same classes as me? I'm a sophomore." He wondered aloud. I chuckled.
"I got mad skills, that's how." We both laughed at that. He looked down at me and his laugh turned into a giggle. I stared up at him in confusion.
"You're really cute, you know that?" He said coolly. My face turned a dark shade of red and I started at the floor. Okay, it was definitely not natural to feel like this. He chuckled.
"Yep, I think I'm gonna fall for you, so watch out." He said with a wink. My eyes widened as I stared at him. Who knew someone could be so blunt. Wasn't he at all worried about saying that? He laughed once more and slung his arm around my shoulder. Jeez, I just met the guy and he already admitted feelings and he's getting all up in my comfort zone.
The bell rang just as we got close to the classroom. I sat down in the back corner of the room, and he sat right beside me. The entire period he just stared at me.
Tell me what you think :) I know it moved kind of fast between Wally and Dick, but I wanted to make Wally's character blunt and honest. Plus, its kind of the Kid Flash way to go, right? Fast?
