Chapter 1
Flash back
"You want me to do what?" I shouted at Bruce.
"Dick it will be a fantastic opportunity. Think about how much more flexible you'll be." He replied.
"I'm flexible enough. I was an acrobat for crying out loud! Seriously Bruce I'm not going." I sai.
"Look if you want to be a better Robin you'll do it, at least try it." He begged
"What if I don't like it?" I leaned into him lifting my eyebrows.
"Then you don't have to do it." He said slyly
"Fine I'll go." I said leaving to go to my room.
End of flash back.
"Who would of thought I'd be here? Doing this practically everyday." I said to myself. I told myself this every time before I went into the studio. Gotham Dance Educators is where I would be. The time would be 7:00. The day was every Thursday. I positioned myself into first position on the bar.
"Alright class here we go." Miss. Alexis said starting the music. We all called her by her first name because her last name was too hard to say. She was a young woman in her 20's and she was very pretty. "Good Job Lucy! Your position is lovely." I heard her exclaim. She often told me I was doing a great job too. Actually she told everybody that. By the time we got done with fifth position she had complimented everyone in the room. It kind of annoyed me.
"Okay everyone do your stretches and then let's practice the recital dance." She instructed and everyone began stretching on the bar and was done in no time. I was a different story though I took just a little bit longer because I might have been slightly distracted by Ariel Oliver or "Airy" that was my nickname for her. She was so beautiful; she had to be the most beautiful girl there. Not only was she beautiful but also she was talented. She was easily the best dancer here. Probably why she got the girl lead for our recital dance.
"Ok everyone to your spot." Miss. Alexis said clapping her hand to an imaginary beat. She began playing the music as Airy and I began to dance in front of everyone. I loved to dance with her because she made me better. When ever I was around her it made me better and it made me stronger. Eventually the music stopped and we stopped dancing.
"You two practice your steps while I work with the others." Miss. Alexis said looking at Airy and I. I turned to Airy who grabbed my hand and pulled me to the other side of the room that was clear and empty with enough space for us to move.
"Are you ready?" she asked. I nodded in reply. "1, 2,3, 4, 1, 2." She started to dance to her counts and I danced with her. I was completely lost in our movements. In that moment the rest of the world didn't exist it was just us. Time past and we never even noticed to us time was standing still.
"Ok class is over! Remember your steps for next week." Miss. Alexis shouted as the student walked out the door. Everybody took off their shoes and went outside to their parents except for Ariel she always stayed an extra hour so she could practice some more. She was so devoted to dancing like it was the only thing that mattered to her. Some times I would act as if Alfred was late so I could watch her dance from a distance, of course. Today was not one of those days though because Bruce was picking me up so I could get back to being Robin the Boy Wonder.
Being Robin is just another one of my secrets. I feel like my whole life is a secret. Even my real identity is a secret; I can't even be Richard Grayson around certain people. Yeah it kind of sucks but it has its perks though.
So yeah….i hope you guys liked it. Probably not though L. I'm never happy with my work. But if you liked it please review so I know. I love when I get reviews.
