This story is before Artemis joined Young Justice.
Dick's POV
Just a normal day for Dick Grayson at Gotham Academy. I thought to myself, as I was shoved into the lockers when some jocks came rushing past me. I glanced over and
saw them giving each other a high five. Idiots. Was all I could think. I looked around and spotted my scattered books. Sigh. I bent down to pick them up, only to have
them be scattered across the floor again.
"Watch where you're going kid!" Who ever had knocked my down spitted angrily. It was a girl, who looked like a sophomore. She was wearing the Gotham Academy
uniform, a plated skirt, though parts of the guys uniforms, a white undershirt, striped tie, and the overcoat with the Academy's logo proudly presented at the top. She
had grey, almond shaped eyes that had a hidden gleam in them, a mouth set in a scowl, olive skin, and what appeared to be the longest blond hair I have ever seen tied
up in a ponytail.
"Hey, you were the one who ran into me last I recall." I replied, getting up after re-gathering my books and brushing of my uniform. I should have sensed her, being
Robin and all. At least Batman didn't see that. I inwardly thought. "Dick Grayson." I said, shifting my books to one hand and holding out the other. She just stared at my
hand for a good minute before her lips curved the smallest amount upward.
"Artemis Crock." She replied, surprisingly gently excepting my handshake. Maybe she's not so bad. I thought to myself. We seemed to have been standing there in
awkward silence for a solid three minutes after releasing each other's hands.
"So…" I started, attempting to break the silence. "I have to go to class now, see you around?" I asked hopefully. It would be interesting to get to know her.
Well, it was a little longer than the Prologue! My next update will be much longer, just you wait! Thx for your positive reviews! :)
