Their friendship was breaking and shattering like glass. It was shattering like plexi-glass. It was millions of tiny fragments of glass as to not cut you, but it could never be put back together.
This feeling was cutting, and it felt as if their friendship would never be able to be glued together again.

They had broken up many times before this, so why was it this bad this time? Dick pondered this question in his head as he ignored everything his English teacher was supposedly lecturing into his brain. His friendship/relationship problems were more important than the word problems his blonde English teacher was going over as a (unnecessary) review for the class.
This break-up was different… It was more harsh… Why had they broken up before? Dick tried to remember, it was on the tip of his tongue… Oh, yes, he remembered! It was over some petty arguments, every time they broke up. This time… This time they broke up because he was never around like a good boyfriend should be…
Richard felt a whole start in his stomache. This feeling was guilt. He felt guilty as to ignore his girlfriend/best friend and never give her the reason as to why he was doing it and where he was going. But it's not like he could have told her without getting in trouble from Batman…
", you look like your paying attention! What is the answer to question number twenty-five?" The teacher called out from the front of the class room, startling Dick out of his thoughts. He was in trouble since she was using his last name.
"Um… Uno?" Everyone started laughing at his response.
"Richard, this is not Spanish class. And you do NOT disrupt my class— as a matter of fact, take this referral up with you to the principal's office." A chorus of "Ooh's" was heard as he gathered his stuff and walked to the front of the class grabbing the quickly written on yellow and white sheet of paper from the teachers manicured hand. He left the class, going in the opposite direction of the principal's office, discarding the official paper in the trash along the way to the back entrance that he knew was always open.
So what if he got another referral for skipping along with his referral for disrespect and disrupting the class? This week was turning out to be one of the shittiest weeks he's had in a long time so it was perfectly fine if he broke some rules and got into some trouble…
A/N: I know a lot of people put them growing apart because of him never being around, and I think that it is a passable explanation as to why Richard would never be around as much as he used to. I thank the FF's that helped me realize that with his YJ team Dick's free time would be even less than it was before when he was just patrolling Gotham at night time…
And please, if you get a referral, do NOT throw it away instead of going to the principals office!
