Chapter 1: New kid in school

I was new in school wondering what it was like to be broke. Yes, my rich life was gone now that someone had robbed our entire belongings and somehow hacked into my account. I don't mind being robbed or killed, but I do mind if Bruce Wayne, my adopted father, the richest and wealthiest man ever, was killed in a fight. It was something I couldn't handle.

I was then sent to Alfred's family who lives in Jump City, not far from Gotham. Their life was so different but since Alfred had been working for Bruce before I was even born, he was considered rich. But things were about to change now that Bruce was gone. Thieves started stealing our properties and money and hacked into our bank account. No one was there to stop them since Batman was "gone". Yes, now Bruce was dead, everyone knew who the famous Batman was. No one knew much on Robin since he too vanished and was never found again. I was glad for that.

The school bell rang, making me jump slightly. I sighed and walked heads down, all the way to class. I've met the principal already and got my schedule. I hope he doesn't mention my arrival to Jump City's most popular boarding school ever. It would be embarrassing. Many people hate Bruce in Jump City because he took half of their land to make factories. I never supported that. But now he was dead, I would be the one who would suffer. I hope no one knows about my arrival, but that would be impossible.

Some think I'm hot, but some don't. I wonder if any girls here do though. I know many guys envy me and I know many do here too. Heard they wanted to punch my guts if they see me, but I think those were just rumors and gossips. I finally reached my class wanting to just sit down and stay unnoticed the whole way. I missed my old life, the one with friends, the one with money, and the one who was raised by Bruce. Now all of those parts of me was trashed and out of my life. I'm just a normal kid living in a normal life.

I heard people talking and laughing. They seemed to have fun. I smiled slightly thinking back on the fun times I had with my old friends. Most of my memories included a girl called Barbara Gordon. She was my girlfriend but I realized she likes me for money and looks. Now I lost one of them, she went for my oldest friend, Xavier Red. My heart was ripped into pieces then. I swore to myself that true loves stinks and I would never love again.

The second bell rang and everyone groaned. Looks like they all hate school as well. That made me laugh slightly. I was unnoticed to all of them, thank god for that! But only one girl did notice me. She looked at me curiously, but I buried me face into my cap so she wouldn't see my face. The teacher came in and saw me.

"Looks like we have a new student today, Mr…" her eyes went wide as she looked at the piece of paper. My life was ruined. "Mr. Grayson?" Everyone was staring at me and my face went pale, not red, but pale. I acted so shy, I was out of character. "Richard Grayson?" she asked making more stares. I finally looked at all of them receiving gasps. My red and black cap still covered most of my face but exposed my nose and below it. I heard rumors already spreading.

"It says here that he would be schooling with us and would also be staying in our block J rooms, anyone from block J here?" No one raised there hands except for that girl. The girl who eyed me before the teacher came in. She was smiling however.

"Ms. Anders? Very well, Mr. Grayson, please follow Ms. Anders here to your room after the lesson. Since it's your first day of school here, you may unpack and come back whenever you're done. If not, you may wonder around the school to get use to it…" I didn't reply however. My shyness now changed to anger.

"Am I stupid to you?" I asked harshly. The whole class stared at my still covered eyes. The teacher seemed insulted but I didn't care.

"I beg your pardon?" she asked shocked.

"I know where it is and I don't need anyone to guide me. So, if you don't mind. I would like to get the hell out of here and to be unnoticed…" I said standing up eyeing to floor all the way trying my best to hide my face from everyone. The teacher smiled slightly and grabbed my hand. I still didn't give eye contact.

"Richard, I know that your father died but…" I fumed and pushed her hand away from her pointing rudely at her.

"One, he's not my father, my real father, two, don't say that to me ever again, and 3, just leave me alone!" She felt hurt. I regretted what I did.

"Fine, but bring Ms. Anders with you. Incase you get lost and before you say anything else, you also need a straight A student to get you out of trouble…" I rolled my eyes and eyed everyone. No one has seen my eyes yet and I was glad for that. The girl came up to me and smiled slightly. I shrugged and walked off, hands in my pocket.

I continued walking not caring if she was far behind or not even there. I heard her voice, that sweet voice.

"Hey, wait for me, please!" she shouted running towards me. Her high heels were only heard in the lonely hallway and I stopped walking. I turned to look at her and saw her smiling at me. Was she trying to be nice? Ok, I have been to normal schools before but that was before I was adopted by Bruce. I had a crush, a red-head girl, and she was my only friend. I was alone due to the fact everyone knows I work in a circus, but there she was not caring and smiling at me.

This girl reminded me of her which makes me sad. I never saw her after my parent's death and I thought I never would.

She finally caught up with me and breathed hard. I waited impatiently for her to finish and continued down the hallway. She was quiet, very quiet. "So, you are Richard Wayne, am I right?" I frowned.

"Richard Grayson…" I corrected not wanting anything to remind me of Bruce. She nodded and her smile grew wider. I arched an eyebrow.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I trashed your city with all those factories, and here you are smiling like a fan at me? You're different from the others you know that don't you?" She flinched slightly at my harsh words but the smile never went away, even though it faded slightly.

"Yes, I am also very different from the others in my class and I do not fit in. but I do have friends outside of this part of the school and in the J block. Should I introduce you to them? Oh and do not worry, it is not your fault you put up those factories and I am not a crazed fan." She kept walking this time in my place. I was trailing behind her sinking everything she said. She doesn't care about the factories and she was not a fan. She wants to friend me and she also doesn't fit in. Who is this girl and why was she so familiar?

We both finally reached the J block and she ran around the corridor singing. I smiled watching her playing and taking in her sweet voice. She was pretty good, that's for sure. She looked at me and grabbed my hand.

"Come on! Let me show you your room." She said jumping around. She was hyper all of a sudden. My smile faded and I became serious again. I didn't know when she saw my eyes but while walking, she whispered.

"Your eyes will never change…" I didn't know if I was supposed to hear that, and I'm not sure if that was a good thing. But what got me thinking is, what does she mean by will never change? Was it supposed to change? I shrugged the words out of my head as she opened my door. "Here is your room. Please unpack and rest. I will be going back to H block to continue my studies so feel free to wonder around but do not get into trouble. Oh and here is my user card. It is to allow me to wonder around. Please do not make trouble and enjoy your day. I would be seeing you tonight to check up on you. Until then, be safe…"

What was she, a teacher or my mother? Or was she just trying to be friendly. I dumbly nodded my head making her leave. I plopped myself down onto the bed and sighed. My mind kept drifting off to the death scene of…my parents and Bruce. Why was my life so terrible? Why does everyone I love die? Why do I even bother to think about that? Everyone's life has something good in it, but why don't I have? So far nothing has made me happy, not even Barbara. Sure I enjoy my time with her but I really wasn't experiencing the true love as everyone says I am. Like I said before, she loved me for my looks and fame and wealth. Without it, she would never date me at all. I started unpacking wanting so bad to just go back to Gotham and live with my friends. I missed Xavier so much. He was the only one which makes me happy every time. Maybe that was it. Xavier was the happy part of my life.

When I finally unpacked everything and felt bored, I decided to wonder around the school. It was noon and everyone was back in their dorm changing or eating. I wore my hat and sunglasses and walked away trying my best not to cry. I missed Bruce so much.

I walked onto a mini park in the school. I chuckled knowing the school had one. I saw something, a robin flying around the flowers playing and singing with a group of kids. I sighed. Robin. I continued my journey through the peaceful park but was cut of guard by a gang of guys.

"Richard Dick Grayson, the famous dick in Gotham. The one who was adopted by the richest and dumbest man alive. What are you doing in Jump City?" I clenched my fist forcing myself not to punch the man's face. I remained quiet staring at the floor. He took that well. The man gripped the hem of my shirt and kicked my stomach. I fell onto the floor. There were teachers near by, but they just watched as if they want me to die.

"I think I didn't make myself clear, why are you here?" I stayed on the ground burying my face as deep as possible. I didn't want this, not right now. He picked me up again. "Did Bruce dump you?" That does it. Hearing all the laughter from kids nearby and the teachers even made me furious. I punched the kids stomach and he cried in pain.

"NO ONE INSULTS ME OR BRUCE YOU HEAR?" The teacher came and kicked my face. I fell on the ground hard. He must be a karate teacher. I felt dizzy and wished my life could just end after darkness I went into.

I woke up on my bed. I was still dizzy and my vision was not clear yet. But the first thing I saw was the beautiful face of Korina Anders. She look happy but angry.

"I told you to stay out of trouble!" she said as she placed a cold towel on my head. I groaned and got up. Her face was starting to get familiar. Maybe it was because I'm getting use to seeing her already. "Are you alright?" she asked with that sweet, angelic voice.

"Yeah I guess…" She nodded and went to touch my bleeding leg. I jerked away.

"That's a nasty cut." She said eyeing it carefully. I tried my hardest to not cry in front of her. Yes, the cut was deep, very deep I believe. As she touched it, I lost my cry and scooted away from her.

"Watch it!" I said leaning on the wall behind me. She giggled slightly and went up to me.

"Either get it healed, or stayed wounded for life…" I sighed. She continued with her work and I eyed every part of her. She was beautiful. I then asked a very stupid question that I need to know.

"Why are you so nice to me? I'm a new kid being hated by everyone besides you. Why?" she stopped working.

"I do want to be your friend, Richard. I'm not like everyone else. I'm totally different. And besides, I just wanna check your memories…" she said sadly. "I guess I found out my answer.." I stared at her confused.

"My…memories…" she smiled again and wiped away an invisible tear.

"Nothing…Come you must meet my friends…" I stopped her.

"Wait…" she looked at me.

"I can't go…"

"And why is that?"

"I'm not healed…"

There you go! Sorry it took so long to post it up, but here it is! Please bare with me as I am trying to making Richard the new kid in this school unlike most stories which is Starfire. Anyways, please read and review!
