X High School
Chapter 1: Friday Morning Race
It's a Friday morning in the city of San Antholas, alarm clocks are buzzing. Kids are turning over in their beds groaning, trying to get in what little sleep they could. In multiple screens teenagers are seen going through their morning routines. Eating breakfast on the way out the door, Richard Grayson throws his bag in the back of his car, a red 80s Corvette and drives out. At the same time Victor Stone was getting in his late 90s black Camero and pulls out. And Garfield Logan who had just gotten into his late 90s green Pontiac Grand Am and pulled out of his drive. Down the street a girl with red hair was getting into her purple Grand Am and drives off.
While Kori took a different route, the boys all met up at the stoplight. Three-lane Street all of them lined up in a row. Red, green and black they look across and gave each other "the look" that smirk on their face with slits in their eyes that says "You wanna race?" they each rev their engine and nod their head ever so slightly. Silently said "You're on." They revved their engine more waiting for the light. It turned green and they're off! Tires squealing as they come barreling off the starting line. Gar was the first one off, but Rich in a split second took the lead. Vic wasn't far behind as he tried to gain the lead over Rich. And Victor takes the lead in the Black Camero putting some distance between him and the red Vette. Vic laughed out loud as he left his friends in the dust Richard smirked, "Think again." He said as shifted down and let his lead foot do the rest. In a second he passed his friend and to piss him off signaled as he got in front. Victor growled and pressed harder on the gas the engine roared as he caught up with Rich getting to the left lane. His bumper lined up with the rear tire of the Corvette. And poor Garfield in his Grand Am was left in the dust.
At 70 miles per hour the Corvette and the Camero raced down the city street cars on side streets barely dodging them, the sound of blaring horns filling the air. And Garfield was doing his best to keep up with them. He grunts gritting his teeth, grabbed his manual gearshift and laid the hammer down, he sped all the way up to 100 mph and in seconds was back in the race. He went to the outside right and blows right past them. "He asked for it." Richard said and threw the hammer down, taking his car up to 100, and Victor did the same. The three of them raced through town at near top speeds, side by side by side. Once they got past another street corner they quickly slowed down so as to avoid an accident. The red and black cars passed the green sedan as they made into the final stretch. But this race is not over for Logan as he pulls one final stunt he once again pulled to the outside right and got up on the sidewalk, the emerald sedan skipped across the pavement as he chased after his friends. He's not going to lose this one. Richard looked to his passenger's side and see Garfield's car bouncing across the sidewalk in an attempt to win the race. The surprised look on his face, Victor took notice too. He'd had never done this before. Gaining a slight lead over his friends Gar pulled back onto the street with plenty of distance between the. At the school a group of kids sit and wait "Here they come!" yelled a spotter. They jump to their feet and begin cheering, as the green Pontiac was the first one across the finish line, with the red Corvette in second and the black Camero in last. Garfield's car screeches to a halt and revs the engine triumphantly. He shut off the engine and stepped out of the car. Richard and Vic got out of their cars and walked over. The spectators made room for them. "I think you guys know what this means." Gar said hands on his hips; the two of them sigh and pull out their wallets the crowd cheers as they paid their friend. "Good race Gar." Richard said. "Yeah man, never saw it coming." Vic said. "Thanks dudes." He said "Seriously good job." said their silver haired friend. "Thanks Slade!" Garfield said. "Let's hear it for Garfield everybody!" Slade yelled. Students cheered loudly. It's just another day at X High School.
Sometime later Gar was walking down the hall when he came up to a red haired girl putting her books in her locker she turned smiling "Hey Gar, I heard you won the race. Congratulations." She said. "Thanks Kor!" he said. High fiving her "It's about time you won a race." She said. "Yeah, tell me about it." He said. "Oh, I'm so glad its Friday." She says. "I know test week was a nightmare." He said. "Well, didn't you study?" she asked "Barely." He admitted. She tisked, "Well I have to go to class." Shutting her locker door "I'll catch ya later Wild Man." She said. "See ya Fire!" he called and headed off in the opposite direction.
A few minutes later they're in their classes. Wild Man sat in the third row from the back of the class. Dr. Light was going on in his lecture; Gar had totally left the zone. He didn't care, no one ever did besides Dr. Light's…not exactly teacher of the year material and is often corrected by one of his students. Gar was doodling on a scrap piece of paper when a note was passed up from behind. He was poked in the side, he reached back and took the folded up piece of paper. Hiding behind his textbook he unfolded the note, "Gar, do you want to go out tomorrow night? – Tara" He smiled and replied answering "Yeah" circling it and began to pass it back, when he suddenly saw that his teacher was standing above him "Care to share that with the rest of the class?" he asked "Uhhhhh." Light stuck out his hand "The letter if you please." Garfield sighed and reluctantly handed him the note he read it aloud. "Gar, do you want to go out tonight? Signed Tara." Gar began to blush "And your answer was 'Yeah'. Well, I hope you two lovebirds don't have anything planned for the next hour because you're going to be spending that time right here in detention." He said. Students laughed. Tara blushed horribly and laid her head down on the desk. "Great now my teacher's playing matchmaker." Gar thought to himself. His head in his hands
About an hour or so later the lunch bell rings. On such a nice day students eat outside. A girl with long purple hair was sitting on top of one of the picnic tables playing guitar. She was wearing a dark blue dress that showed her gray back with splits up going up the sides of her long skirt. She was playing the song "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall. A kid wearing a white t-shirt and a green button down was walking past them carrying his lunch he had one eye. His name is Seymour Conner but everyone calls him Flip. He's a good kid, loads of laughs and lots of fun lost his eye in a shooting accident with a BB gun when he was a kid. Despite this, his peers respect him. Over there is his girlfriend, she has long pink hair that goes partway down her back. She likes to dress in black, her name's Jenny.
Slade sits down at a table with the guys, "Sup?" "Slade!" Richard said. "My dawg!" Vic said reaching over to high five him. "Sup dude?" "Wild Man!" Slade called Gar. Kori walked behind them "Hey guys!" "Sup Kori?" said Gar and Slade "Kori!" yelled Rich. He makes room and she sits between him and Gar with Slade and Vic facing them. "Beautiful day isn't it?" she asked.
At the other table sits another group of guys. They're kinda the school jerks. The large one's a dude everyone calls Mammoth. Sitting next to him is this little punkass kid Garret, bout 4 feet tall with a mouth as big as his ego, dude's a mad mechanic. Can build anything from scrap Kids call him Gizmo. If it weren't for his buddy he would get his ass stomped on by everyone.
Sitting at another table is a group of nerds and outcasts playing a magic card game. A kid with long red hair threw down his card "I annihilate you with my Zergane Desdemoto, and strips you of 500 points!" he said gruffly. "Aw man!" said a kid with a lighter sounding voice. "You loose again Griffey." Said his friend. "Conrad wins again." Said another kid, the skinny kid sat there smugly arms folded. "Now we play The Realm of the Dragons!" he said holding up a new game board he slammed it down on the table his playmates look up at him "Conrad you are such a Control Freak." One of them said. "And you've been winning every game this week." He complained a slender teen with long white hair approached them "Then maybe I can change it up." He said. They look up at him he had pale blue eyes and wore a blue baseball cap. "Who are you?" Conrad asked annoyed. "I am Mal." He introduced. "Well, Mal if you're so great. Then let's see what you got." Conrad growled. Mal sat down "Very well." He said. Conrad handed him the oddly shaped dice "You go first." he said feeling so sure of himself.
About 15 minutes later Raven was playing and others were eating when all of a sudden Conrad's scream ruptured the atmosphere "WHAT?" everyone jumps and looks toward the source of the screams "How could you…I didn't even…how did you do that!" he yelled at Mal "You cheated!" he accused. "I did not cheat, I simply rolled the dice and it landed on 18." Mal calmly said, "Besides only a ten year old of accuse somebody of that." he said getting up. "You couldn't have won, I rigged these dices myself and I…oh crap!" realizing what he had just said. His peers are giving him dark looks. "I feel my work is done here." Mal said as he gets ready to leave "You may deal with him as you please." He said. "Thanks, we will." Said one kid, Conrad chuckled nervously "Look guys, I just kidding…cant you guys take a joke?" some of these kids were taller than he was. "Get him!" said the one kid "Ahhhhhhhh!" and takes off running. All the other students laugh and watch the skinny Conrad run for his life His long red hair flying.
The school bell rings and students get up and go back to class; the group of nerds had Conrad on the ground with his arm behind his back "Ow! Oh, ow! Ow! All right! All right! OK!" he yells they let off of him, one of the nerds smacked him in the back of the head "Ow!" and leave him. Conrad got up off the ground and was the last one heading back to class. The late bell rings. In class sit Richard, Kori, Slade, Gar, Tara, Vic and Raven. Class is in session with Mr. Monty Hilldale or we know him better as... "Ello me duckies, class is now in session." He said walking into class wearing a blue long sleeved shirt with the crisscrossing stripes of the Union Jack adorning it. He also had on a black undershirt with a white ascot and pants. The young man had bright red hair with sideburns and small rectangular glasses and always at his side is his walking cane.
Class went on the same as usual; Monty was trying to convince them that the American Revolution was a hoax and that there is no Declaration of Independence. And he did his daily routine of hypnotizing the class into accepting his ideals same old, same old. That was when the principle walked in "Mr. Hilldale! How many times have I told you to not hypnotize the class?" she said breaking his control over them. "Oh, uh G'day Principle Roth." He said. "Spare the pleasantries Hilldale. You and Blud are on thin ice as it is." she spoke angrily. She turns her attention to her daughter and then back to Hilldale "And I'm docking your pay for this incident." She says. He held his hands up in defense "Uh, right won't happen again." He said. "See that it doesn't. This is your final warning Mod." she spoke turing on her heel and marched out of the classroom. Monty grimaced with his hand clutching the back of his head. In the back of the glass was groaning/gurgling sound could be heard Gar was still hypnotized. "Gar, Gar." Tara shook her friend trying to wake him. "He's not waking up." She said. "Hilldale got him good this time." Richard said. "He gets him every time. What else is new?" Raven asked. "All right stand back." Victor said as he walked over. "What's he going to do to him this time?" Richard asked. He stood next to Gar's desk and lifted his leg. He grunts, the eyes of his friends shot open and quickly get back. Pheeert! "Oh dude!" Garfield yells punching him in the hip.
"Ow-how-how!" clutching his side Gar punched him again in the stomach. "Your sick dude!" he yelled everyone else laughed at them the class bell rang and everyone got up and left. In the hallway Garfield was still fuming over being farted on. "That was not cool dude." Sticking his finger in Vic's face "Hey man, just be glad I didn't have tacos for lunch." "No, cause then I'd have to seriously bag you." His smaller friend said. "I'd watch it if I were you Vic, we both know he has a mean left swing." Richard says. "Tell me about it." Victor says.
"Hey Rich can I talk to you for a second?" Slade asked from a distance "Sure man." He said "Catch you later," he says as he walks over to Slade the rest of the guys turn and leave. "What's up?" Richard asked. Slade looking slightly embarrassed asked "Uh, Rich how well do you like Kori?" he asked. "About as much as I would any girl why?" "Well…ahem. You see the thing is that. If you didn't like her… could… I ask her out?" he asked. "Well if you want to ask her out, ask her." Richard said Slade smiled slightly "Cool, thanks man." He picks up his book bag and gets ready to leave "Just wanted to make sure that its ok with you first." he said. "Sure thing, thanks for asking." He said. Slade nodded his head and leaves. "Thanks Man." He said. Richard waves good-bye. "Good luck dude." He says.
