"Hey Dick, wait up!" Dick looked up at Barbra Gordon was she ran up to him. "Oh hi Babs..." he said with sadden

look. "what's wrong?" Babs said with a concern look. "Nothing..." Dick looked down and laughed, then looking up

with a giant smile. "Good your a real drag when your upset, hey what did you get on the test?"

"What do you think!" Dick said with a cocky smile. "An A...again? Dude that is so unfair you have like 10 top world

class tutors!" She said with a sarcastic jester. "Well I'm not stupid because I can see you need them most of all,

and it's 12 tutors." He said while snatching Babs science test reading the giant red F.

"Hey shut up! Anyway are you taking anyone to the dance Friday?"

"No."Dick said quickly. "What you have-"

"NO!" Dick yelled while walking away. "But your Dick Grayson! The rich smart kid, adopted son of Bruce Wayne,

and your not going to the dance?" Babs said hesitantly. "What? why should I go waste my time when I could be

doing something better? and there boring, bad music, and plus you have to bring a date!" Dick was trying explain

but was completely ignored. "Dick your a good looking kid, just ask somebody..." Dick could tell Barbra was going

somewhere with this, but what?

"Babs what are you getting at?" Dick said peering into her greenish eyes. "What I'm not going anywhere I just

want you to be happy" Babs said with a giggle. "Barbra I would be happy if you-"

"Yes?"

"SHUT UP ABOUT IT! I'M BUSY WITH- never mind, who are you going with?" Dick said frustrated. "Um well

nobody...now." Barbra looked like she saw a dead puppy. "Oh...sorry Babs I didn't know that if you wanna go as

friends I'm fine" Dick said with a cheery to cheer her up. "Why did you friends, like that? I like you, but not like

that, your like a little brother" Babs had misunderstood how he was talking. "Ha, only you I swear...are you sure

your not blonde?" Dick was laughing at her, as Bette and Artemis passed them. "Hey Dick, you shouldn't talk like

that! Your just upset you can't get a girlfriend, nerd" Bette said with a Superior Senior voice. "Oh shut up, I can't

wait until next year when your G.O.N.E, GONE!" Dick said with a sour voice.

"Whatever" Bette said walking away. "Dick, you and Bruce both have the worst temper" Babs said with a laugh.

"Okay I'm leaving, going home, see you tonight" Dick said pulling out his skateboard and headphones. With a

laugh and a 360 shuv-it off the curb of Gotham Academy "Who's a nerd now?" Dick said skateboarding around the

corner. "There is something strange going on in his circus head today, I wonder what...and I'm going to find out

what" Barbra said with a little evil laugh.
