Cassie sat in a chair at the library, waiting for Barbara. They had planned to go shop after her shift. However, it was longer that Cassie had thought. She felt her cell phone vibrate in her short pocket. She took it and saw that she got a text from Jaime.
From Jaime: Señorita, are you free tonight?
From Cassie: No sorry L
From Jaime: What are you doing?
Form Cassie: I'm supposed to shop with batgirl.
From Jaime: Ok, I'll see you next time.
From Cassie: Yeah, I guess.
Cassie continued to text Jaime for a while, before a librarian cut her. Wonder Girl was force to say goodbye to Jaime. She checked the hour. 3:35 p.m. Barbara would finish her work in 25 minutes. Cassie opened her schoolbag, because even though she was a superhero, she had to go to school. She decided to start with her math homework. She sucked at math, like almost every students in her class. At that moment, she had wished Tim was there to help her. When they use to hang out, he would always help her with her homework and explain them in a way that she could understand.
Cassie sighed at the thought of Tim. She had been so blind when she thought of it; it was so obvious that the Boy Wonder had a crush on her. She checked the time; 3:39. The time looked to go so slow. The library was so silent.
She looked up from her math books and that is when she saw 3 girls who wore the Gotham Academy uniform. They were searching for some books for their French project. Cassie couldn't help but to listen to their conversation.
''So, I heard the Wayne guy invited you to the Fundraiser. Is that true?'' asked the dark-skinned girl. She had brown hair that arrived to her shoulders. She was tall, but not the taller. She had green-grey eyes. Her heart-shaped lips were red.
Cassie was a little surprise. The girl who had been supposedly asked out by Tim didn't look like his type of girl. She was tall, maybe 6'1. She had brown and long hair that arrived to her waist. She had big green eyes and her than was white like porcelain. She had freckles on her pink cheeks and her lips were red. A natural red. The girl was pretty, but she looked a little fake. She wasn't the type of girl who Tim dated and Cassie knew it.
''Effie, you have to understand. That poor thing didn't have a date for the gala. Do you imagine it? A Wayne without a date. I had to say yes. For his own good,'' respond quickly the girl.
''Leila, I swear you're too nice to people,'' said the other girl.
She wasn't that tall, compared to Leila. She had long blonde hair that also arrived to her waist. She had deep brown eyes and her than was a little darker than Leila's.
''I know, believe me Jessica, I know. Now would you take me that book,'' added Leila pointing a black book. The scarlet letter
Cassandra listened to her conversation for a while. She decided that it was enough spying when the subject of the conversation was Leila's dress. She didn't know why, but she hatted Leila. She never spoke to her or even met her. She just hatted her because she had been invited by Tim. Tim who was her best friend. Tim who had told Cassie is real identity. Tim that had helped her for her homework. Tim that had a crush on her since God knows when.
Cassandra felt a new emotion consume her. An emotion that is called that jalousy. She felt like she could punch this Leila. She never noticed that she was staring them. But they had notice. They decided to pack up and leave, because the 'weirdo blonde girl' was getting on their nerves.
''Cassie! I'm sorry I took that much of time-''started Barbara.
She suddenly stopped and she sat next to Cassie. She putted her cold hand on Cassie's; she putted the other one on her back.
''Cassie, why are you crying?'' whispered Barbara with a sad look.
''I- I'm not crying. Why would I?''
Cassie hadn't realized she was crying. She wiped her tears and then she looked at Barbara. Barbara gave her a hug and padded her back.
''It's ok Cass. I'm here, its ok,'' repeated Batgirl.
When Cassandra stopped crying, they pack up and left the library. They went for ice cream, even though it was winter. Barbara decided that they could report their shopping thing another day, because now, Cassie needed to talk to someone.
When they ate their ice cream, they went to the theaters to watch a movie. When they were waiting in the line to buy food, they saw two familiar guys. The oldest wave them to come to talk to them. They were sitting in a table, probably waiting for their movie to start.
''Hey Babs, hey Cassie,'' said the oldest one pushing two chairs for the women.
''Hey Dick,'' said in harmony the two girls. ''Tim,'' added Barbara, ''It's nice to see you''
Tim looked completely lost, watching Cassie while drinking a big size coke. When Barbara mentioned his name, he choked his sip. The 3 of them looked at him with a weird gaze.
''Yeah it's nice to see you to, Barbara,'' finally said the boy wonder.
Dick and Barbara started a conversation, forgetting the two teenagers. Tim looked at his food, thinking about not thinking of Cassandra who was right in front of her.
That was why he skipped her. Since Dick had told him that he definitely had a crush on his best friend, Tim had skipped her to avoid weird conversation. Since he realized that he felt something for Wonder Girl, he was always nervous or he said stupid things. But Cassie was… she was the girl he liked. She was funny, nice, friendly, energetic and, he couldn't lie, she was pretty. She was shorter than him, but she was stronger. She had these long legs that he loved to look at. She had blond hair that weren't too long or too short. She had these blue eyes that always were happy. And she wasn't skinny like all the girls in his school. She was curvy and her womanhood were… Tim didn't want to think about it. Because he knew for a fact that it would make him blush. And he was already blushing, so he didn't want to think of it.
He suddenly realized that Dick and Barbara were gone. He was there, alone with Cassandra. He looked at her. She was on her phone, probably texting one of the guys that were trying to woo her. Dick was right. Cassie wasn't the type of girl that stays single for a long time. And he definitely didn't want her to date one of those guys. He wanted her to date him.
''Wh-What movie are you going to watch,'' he asked.
Cassie looked up from her cell phone.
''Well that's a miracle. Timothy Drake-Wayne starting a conversation,'' she thought.
''Barbara and I are going to watch 'The conjuring','' she said putting her cellphone on the table.
''Ok. That's good. She's putting her cellphone on the table. So she wants to talk. Good,'' he thought.
''Personally, I didn't want to watch the movie. You know that I hate horror movies. But Barbara was the one who choose. So yeah, I'll spend all the movie hide behind Barbara,'' said Cassie with a smile.
''I don't think so. I'm going to watch the same movie to with Dick. And- And you know Dick and Barbara, always together when they can,'' responded quickly Tim.
''Well I could hide behind you,'' finally said Wonder Girl after a long time of silent.
''Yeah, sure,'' smiled Tim.
Somehow, he knew Dick and Barbara had planned it. But he didn't mind. He could finally spend some time with Cassie alone. Cassie decided that they would buy food. Tim realized what she said it. He was so nervous that he ate all the food he had, which could have fed 3 people at least. As they walk in the screening room to find place, the teenagers spot the adults, sat in a corner. Weirdly, none of the teens proposed to join them. They sat in the middle of the room, holding popcorn, one large coke and some fries.
As the ads begin, Tim passed his harm around Cassie's shoulders. He thought she would mind and tell him to get him arm away, but she just rested her head on his shoulder. Tim could smell her hair. Her perfect blonde hair. Tim quickly realized that he forgot to buy her something to drink.
''Can I,'' asked Cassandra pointing Tim's drink.
The boy wonder smiled and blushed. A lot. At this moment he was happy that the lights were off.
''Yeah sure,'' he said grabbing the drink and giving it to Cassie.
He looked at her as their hands touch. She took the cup and putted her lips around the straw. Her lips, thought Tim. He wondered how they tasted. He wondered how her skin tasted and-
''Thanks,'' Cassie said giving the cup to her best friend.
''You- You welcome,'' Tim struggled to say.
Cassie smiled as she putted her head back on his shoulder. He smelled terribly good, she thought.
