My writing it excuse me.
Barbara was hurt.
She was hurt and sad and very hurt.
She had only accepted Bette's invitation because Dick had cancelled on her for the first time in three years, because something came up. .Of course Barbara never imagined that something had dark hair, blue eyes and was certainly alive. 'Breath Babs, she might just be a friend'.
"They might be related", Bette said next to her, she was trying to be supportive and it was nice….but not working at all. "Either you go over and say something, or I will and it won't be pretty."
"He is not my boyfriend Bette, we are just best friends", and it hurt.
"Best friends or not. He cancelled and didn't say why, and he is here with someone else and you dear friend are very unhealthy." This was totally true. My feelings for Dick were very unhealthy.
Barbara raised her chin, flipped her hair and walked over to Dick's table 'keep breathing and don't cry'.
"Dick", that wasn't so hard. She could do this.
"Hey, Barbara. Wh-what are you doing here? You said you had homework and-"that's how she knew. He was guilty. She was so a girlfriend. And it hurt. She had no secrets, at least not with him.
The girl was beautiful, dark hair, beautiful blue eyes and perfect skin, and the worst part was the way she looked at him. Barbara knew that look. She had spent a little bit over 5 years giving Dick that look, and now he was ditching their movie night – a 3 years long tradition- to get some pizza with her, she felt her heart break a little. "I'm Barbara, Barbara Gordon, it's a pleasure", she finally managed to get out. Dick was still just staring. "Close your mouth Grayson Alfred would be appalled at such manners". She would be nice, and then she would go home with Bette and have lots of ice cream and maybe cry a little over something that never was but she always thought she would get.
"Babs this is Zatanna, my girlfriend. Zatanna this is Babs my best friend", he smiled sleepily at her and all she wanted to do was grab his face and smack it against the table.
Zatanna looked up at her and smiled, and it was so sincere that it made Barbara want to smack her face on the table too. Why couldn't they just make her life easier and be mean to her or maybe just be a little bit snobby. . "Hi, I hope I'm making a good impression. Dick has told me a lot about you. So I hope we can be friends", and Barbara smiled because she liked this girl. And if Dick was happy, then she would have to accept it. So with one hand she grabbed Zatanna's outstretch hand and with the other hand she smacked Dick on the back of his head. "Well I better get going, I just wanted to say hello and tell Grayson here that he owes me big time. It was nice meeting you Z and for what is worth you passed. Later Grayson". She was just turning around when Dick spoke again, and he sounded so happy. "Hey Babs, why don't you have dinner with us, we are meeting a couple of friends and then we are going to watch a movie maybe…" and that's when she saw Wally West, and Artemis – Bette's good friend from school- come in holding hands and arguing and it was too much, Suffocating and she needed an out. All this happy couples and their happy vibes.
Bette stood next to Barbara, put her head on Babs' shoulder, gave Dick her meanest grin,and said "Actually Grayson, our night is just starting, we have a couple of plans of our own. You can't cancel movie night for the first time in three years and expect Babs not to be a little bit mad at you. Say night Babs" Barbara smiled, held his eyes and then said "see you around Dick".
