Chapter One: Newbies
"Dudes!"
Richard Grayson and Wally West looked up as Gar ran into view from behind them. The twosome paused and waited patiently as their blonde friend caught up.
"What's got you so excited?" Richard asked eyeing the teen carefully. Gar was not a morning person. You were lucky if you got more than a three word sentence out of him before nine.
"Don't you guys remember?" Gar asked walking backwards to face his two friends. His dark green eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"No," Wally said matter-of-factly "So why don't you turn around before you hit something and tell us already?"
Gar turned around obediently "Why are you in such a bad mood Wally?" he asked his excitement taking a rear seat to concern for his friend.
The red head gripped his backpack tightly and lowered his eyes slightly "It's just normal stuff. My sister got an B- on her Spanish test and my parents give her twenty dollars. I get A+'s in all my classes and they could care less. I have no idea why I'm feeling jealous all of the sudden. It's nothing new."
Richard patted his friend's shoulder sympathetically "If it makes you feel any better Bruce said he wished my grades were like yours. And coming from him it's a good compliment."
Gar nodded in agreement "Ya dude. No offense but who cares what you're parents think?" he slung an arm around the other boy's shoulders "We're proud of you."
Wally broke into a smile "Thanks guys, what would I do without you two?" he asked draping an arm around Richard bringing him into the line.
"Well…" the raven-haired teen said slowly "You might have a normal, boring, average, life like every other seventeen year old in America."
"How would that be any fun?" Gar asked his eyes twinkling with laughter. "Now onto my earlier news… we're getting three new students today."
"That's it?" Wally and Richard chorused breaking their little formation as they neared the school grounds.
"Did I neglect to mention that these three are all female?" Gar asked with a wiry grin. His two friends smiled as well.
"You did, Garfield, how could it have slipped your mind?" Wally demanded.
"Ya really that's a very important detail!"
Gar laughed and waved as he moved away to his locker. He would meet up with the two in homeroom.
Quickly he spun his combination and put in his lunch sack. Then he pulled out his Algebra II book and put it in his book-bag. Then swinging the bag over his shoulder he headed for homeroom.

Mr. Payne was a tall man with white blond hair, kind electric blue eyes and a friendly smile. He was the only teacher the three boys came close to liking.
At the moment he was sitting behind his desk watching the students file in and talk as they waited for class to begin.
Finally the bell rang and everyone scrambled to their seats. Mr. Payne stood and made his way to stand in front of his desk. He leaned against it waiting for silence. He didn't have to wait long. "We have three new students joining us today." he announced in his booming voice "Kori Anders, Jennifer Hexington, and Rachel Roth. Please make them feel welcome."
The three girl obviously knew each other. They walked in together with an air of confidence one rarely sees in new kids.
Kori was roughly five nine with reddish, brown hair that was pulled up into a ponytail. She wore a short purple skirt, a silver halter top, and a pair of purple and silver boots that came to her knee. Her eyes were a light lime green, there seemed to be no white in them. She had a tiny smile on her face but she was definitely not a prep.
Jennifer was about five three with light brown hair and steel grey eyes. She had her hair pulled back into two doubled up French braids. She wore a dark purple, long-sleeved shirt with a black choker that had a small purple pendant on it. Her jeans were dark blue and she had on a pair of chunky purple boots that added about two inches to her height. (She's 5'3 w/out them)
Rachel was about five six. Her hair was black and cut short. In the front it reached to the bottoms of her ears and it came up above the nape of her neck in the back. Her eyes were a dark blue that were lined with silver eye shadow. She wore black jeans and a black tee-shirt that had a yellow frownie face, below it read "Don't mess with me, you will not win"
"Girls why don't you take the empty seats near Richard, Wallace, and Garfield. Will you boys please help the girls find their way around JCA?"
The boys all nodded in agreement. The three girls made their way over to the empty desks and sat down.
Gar turned his head to glance at Rachel. She gave him a glare that would make any sensible man go running for cover. Fortunately though Gar was not a man. Nor did he have the common sense of one.
--------
After Mr. Payne's class the three boys separated for their next periods. Much to Gar's disappointment Rachel had Study Hall. She went with Richard.
Kori had Advanced Science so she went with Wally who looked as if he'd rather be in Gar's place at the moment.
Jennifer had Algebra II so she followed Gar through the crowded hallways. She carried herself in such a way that people moved away from her. It was like watching the Red Sea part.
"So Jennifer… do you prefer Jennifer or just Jen?" Gar asked awkwardly as the crowds started to thin out a bit.
"I prefer that my friends call me Jen… Go with Jennifer for today. We'll see how things work out after that."
"Alright… where'd you go to school before this?" Gar shouldered his way through a group of football jocks. He waved slightly to Roy Harper (Speedy) then pushed the doors open.
"Jet City Public High School. That place is one heck of a ride. You gotta be tough to go there. It's seriously on their application. 'Can your child hold their own in a fight?'"
Gar chuckled under his breath. Jennifer was pretty amusing. "And you're friends with Kori and Rachel?"
"Oh ya we go way back. Practically all the way to the sandbox. At least me and Kori do. We met Rachel about three years ago when we first went to JCPH. She kinda showed us the ropes."
Gar nodded and glanced at his watch as they walked under the trees. Why did the stupid portables have to be so far away?
Finally they reached the potable classroom just as the warning bell rang. Mrs. Bedlam was writing out problems on the board as they entered.
"Ah Garfield so nice to see you today," she said with a crooked grin. Gar was convinced this lady had it in for him "And I assume this is our new student all the way from Jet City?"
Jennifer shrugged "More or less. I'm Jennifer Hexington."
"I know who you are. Sit."
The two obeyed promptly. Mrs. Bedlam wasn't someone you argued with.
---------
Richard was getting goose-bumps. Rachel was unnaturally quiet. Her dark eyes examined every aspect of the small room and its occupants.
There was Cassie Moth more commonly known as Kitten, Tara Marvok a former girlfriend of Gar's, Sam and Max the two Hispanic twins, Victor Stone in his wheelchair, and several others.
Victor's legs had been crushed in some sort of accident two years ago. No one knew what kind. So he was constricted to a wheelchair. But he was a computer wizard.
"Hey Vic," he said giving the boy a high five "I'd like to introduce you to Rachel Roth. She's new here."
Victor smiled his white teeth gleaming against his dark brown skin "Nice to meet you little lady." he offered his hand.
Rachel shook his hand lightly. "Nice to meet you too… Vic."
---------
Wally was impressed. Kori struck you as a real airhead. She wasn't in the least. The teacher, Mr. Cooper had hammered her with questions and she'd answered coolly and correctly every time.
After class let out Wally walked down the hall ignoring the stares from several people "So Kori… did you take Advanced Science in your old school?"
"Yes," the girl replied nodding her head slightly "Science is one of my favorite subjects in school. I also enjoy gym."
Wally laughed "Our coach will cure you of that bad habit. I've got bruises to prove it." he stopped outside a door where kids were filing out.
Rachel, Richard and Victor all came out together. Rachel was talking to Victor who was nodding slowly in understanding. Richard steered them towards Wally and Kori.
"They were talking about computers all Study Hall." he groaned "I don't know if I can take it much more."
Wally laughed and Kori giggled as Richard slumped against a wall dramatically. Rachel and Victor stopped their chatter for a moment to stare at him.
"Hey! I'm the comedian around here!" Gar said walking over with Jennifer close behind "Who gave you license to act goofy?"
Richard rolled his blue eyes and straightened "Do you three have English next?" the three girls all nodded, Rachel stopped for a moment to do so "Cool let's go."
The three girls all shared a glance as they moved down the halls.
