So, ArtStorm is back! I have no excuse for my absence except that there are TOO MANY FREAKIN' SHINY THINGS in my house. XD Annnyywwaay, I'll do two or three for you in the span of today and maybe tomorrow at the latest. I hope this is a considerably decent peace/beg for my life offering. Hehe... *Hides in shadows*

Robin: Boo. *Robing-glare*

AHH! *Runs away throwing objects behind me for dear life, trying to stall the inevitable while writing*

Robin: *Cackles and chases after ArtStorm*

A good friend will disagree when you say words can't hurt you

Dick glared at the three numbskulls frustratedly, it wasn't so much as what they were saying, but that they had cornered him and wouldn't let hinge go.

"Oh look it's the little charity case!" one crowed

"Why don't you run home to mama, Dickie? Oh right, I forgot." The second one sneered

"What's the matter Circus Freak? Forgot your English?" The third grinned

Okay, that second one was the line, but he'd tried to hold in his anger, after the next one, he snapped and shoved past them, calling behind him "I think you'd rather not hear me say my thoughts in English, you'd be to air-headed to understand them anyways." And with that he shoved a few things in his locker and moved to his next class, Language Arts. He took his seat next to Babs and behind Artemis and leaned back in his chair with a sigh.

Artemis looked back at him "I heard them shouting." She informed him calmly.

Dick almost grinned, Artemis treated both him and Robin as a younger brother "Relax, 'Mis, words arenthis something that can hurt me."

Artemis just looked at him "I doubt it, Dick, bu-" She was cut off by Babs

"Can't hurt you, huh? Be right back." the red-head shot out of her chair and walked off.

Artemis and Dick glanced at each other "You sure you're o-"

"Relax Artemis, I'm feelin' the aster." He grinned

Artemis seemed lost and surprised, she was about to say something else but caught herself as Babs came walking back with her hands behind her back.

Babs whipped a very large book from behind her with the title Dictionary and promptly whacked Dick over the head with it, making him yelp. She sat back down and opened the book to take down a note of a definition.

Dick stared at her for an explanation, rubbing his head subconsciously.

After a moment, she looked up and snorting in distaste "Words can't hurt me, my ass." She said before going back to work.

Artemis busted out laughing.

But a Best friend will hit you over the head with a dictionary to prove you wrong.

R and R and I'll do more than three!
