Ok so I created this girl Leila, because I didn't know any girl that was in Gotham Academy in at the same time as Tim was. I hope it won't bother you too much.

Tim had always been shy, and it was worst when Cassie was around. He never knew since when, but he had felt really uncomfortable around her, his best friend. He was nervous, his palms were always sweaty and he had thought of her in a way that he shouldn't had. She obviously had realized that something was wrong with him, he always skipped her and when they could talk or be together, he would found an excuse to leave her.

Cassie was in the training room with Barbara (because, yes, she knew the real identities of the batfamily). They weren't fighting, they were talking; they liked to talk here because there wasn't any cameras that could spy on them. Barbara snapped her fingers in front of Cassie's face, which was lost in her thoughts.

''Cassie! ,'' yelled Batgirl. Cassie shook her head, losing the smile she had. ''What were you thinking about?''

Cassie felt her cheeks flush. She was thinking of Tim, but no way would she tell that to Barbara. She would probably tell Dick who would tell Tim.

''No- Nothing BG,'' she lied (not really well).

Barbara smirked, like she could read Wonder Girl's min or something.

''So, like I was saying, how is it going with Tim?''

Cassie dropped the water bottle she had in her hands, but she quickly took it.

''You know… Usual stuff. He doesn't want to talk to me or even want to be in the same room has me. Even- Even in the mission, he won't let me help. He'd rather send someone else then let me fight. And he knows I can fight, and that I can't sit when I know I could help. I wish I could know what I've done''

Batgirl looked at Cassie and putted her hands on Cassie's shoulders. She staid like that for a while before Barbara burst into laughing.

''Why are you laughing,'' asked Cassie who was really lost.

Barbara laughed even harder. After a long time she took a deep breath and said

''Cassie, you didn't do anything, except being yourself. He's not mad, and there's no way he could be mad after you. You're his friend, his best friend. He'll tell you what is going on when he'll be ready. Meanwhile, just relax. Please relax, you look terrible when you're anxious.''

Cassie smiled and gave a hug to Batgirl. She always saw her like the big sister she never had. Every time she had problems, she knew she could go to Barbara and she knew that Barbara would help her feel better. But somehow, Barbara would always turn the conversation on Cassie and Tim. Not that Wonder Girl minded.

Barbara had to leave because to work. Cassie decided to stay and punch some dummies. After the talk, she realized that she wasn't mad against herself. She was mad at Tim, because he wouldn't let her do anything. They use to be so close, and know he wouldn't even talk to her or stay more than 5 minutes around her. What happened got Robin to be so distant toward her. She punched the dummy so hard that hi head rolled on the floor.

Cassandra was so lost in her mind that she didn't notice the head on the floor, or even Tim who was standing awkwardly beside her. He putted his hand on her shoulder, which scared Cassie who almost punched him.

''Hey Robin,'' said Cassie. Even when she was mad at him, she wasn't really. She couldn't really be mad at him.

''Hey Cass. I- I was wondering if you would-'' started Tim. He stopped when he realized his hand was still on her shoulder. He felt his cheek flush. ''Well, hum hu… I think I'll let you. You seemed busy,''he added walking toward the door.

''You can stay. I mean if you want to, because I wouldn't want to force you to do anything if you don't want to. But if you want to stay, you can stay, because I wouldn't mind, not that I would mind if you leave, because it's your life after all, and you're the one who chose.''

They looked at each other for a while. Tim started to blush and said

''I think- I think I should leave,'' he said pulling the door to leave.

''Wow Cassie! Way to go. You can even make him talk to you,'' thought Wonder Girl.

Cassie left the room, thinking of what Tim wanted to ask her. As she walked toward her room to take a shower, she heard two familiar voices.

''I feel bad for the kid. He really likes Cassie and I don't even think she likes him,'' said Nightwing.

''C'mon Dick! Everybody knows Tim is shy. It's not because he's acting weird around her that it means he likes her. I'm sure it's just is hormones''

''Zatanna, you never saw him around her. It's a miracle that he manages to stay up on his foot.''

''He reminds me of someone.''

Zatanna's and Dick's voices faded away.

All night long, Cassie thought of what Dick had said. That Tim liked her. Cassandra didn't want to believe it in the first place, but when she thought of it, it would have explained her best friend's behavior. She couldn't sleep. She wondered if she felt the same way, but she couldn't find the answer. Tim was nice, smart, polite, shy (in a way that she founded cute), and, she couldn't lie, he was handsome. He was muscular and tall. She liked to look into his eyes, is deep blue eyes.

She felt bad and mad. Bad because she didn't know how she felt about him. She never really saw him in a different way than a friend. And mad because he should have told her. He shouldn't have skipped her. Even if it was because he liked her, it wasn't an excuse. Right? She felt so confuse.

''So Timytim… Who are you inviting,'' asked Leila.

Leila Cambell was the popular girl in school. She was the captain of the cheerleading squad, a part-time model and she was rich. She never talked to someone that wasn't in the cheer squad, the football team or the basketball team. So Timothy Drake-Wayne was pretty much surprise when she went to his locker to talk to him.

''What are you talking about,'' he asked, taking his math books.

She rolled her eyes "Who are you inviting to the Wayne Enterprise Fundraiser?"

''Oh… I don't know,'' answered Timothy, closing his locker. ''And I don't really care''

Leila crossed her arms on her chest and smirked.

''You're a Wayne; you can't go there without a date. Because I'm nice, I'll go as your date. Pick me up at 8 o'clock.''

Before Tim could say or do anything, she gave him a piece of paper and left. He looked at what was written on the paper. Her cell phone number and her address. Tim sighed. He didn't plane to have Leila as a date. He was going to ask Cassie if she wanted to be his date. But Tim was a nice guy, he wasn't going to ditch Leila.

He walked toward is math classroom and sat his desk. Dick wouldn't be happy, when he'll find out. After all, he was the one who convinced Tim to ask Wonder Girl out. He knew that rumors were already starting. He knew that some people would say that he paid Leila to out with him, because he was a Wayne and everybody knew that Wayne had money. But he was used to it.

The first thing Tim did when he entered his home was to walk toward his room.

''What the hell dude!,'' yelled Dick as he saw Tim.

''What are you talking about?'' asked Tim nervously.

''Barbara told me that you didn't invite Cassie yet! You know the Fundraiser is in 3 days, right?''

''I know Dick… I know,'' Tim sighed and let himself fall on his bed.

''Look, I don't want to pressure you Tim, but Cassandra is not the type of girl that stays alone for a long time. Guys are just waiting for the good time to ask her out. Just remember that the Fundraiser is in 3 days. Just ask her-''

''I can't,'' cut off Tim. ''I mean I'd love to, but I already have a date.''

Dick froze and gave Tim is what-are-you-doing-Tim gaze. The first boy wonder knew that he could spend an hour repeating to Tim how dumb he is, but it was useless.
