Disclaimer: Again, I don't own any of the characters exept Mell. So sad.
Connor entered the Ball room still feeling uncomfortable around people. He decided not to let that get to him, though. He would forget about the horrible day he had and tried to have fun. He found out that the JLA was going to be there, so at least he would have freinds to talk to. He loved the JLA. They were family to him. He could talk to them easily about things that he couldn't to other people. He felt right at home around them. He felt like he belonged.
"Hey, Conman, they finally let ya' out of your room? I was beginning to think you where afraid of the dark." A familar voice said behind him.
He turned around and saw one of his best friends then said, "Hey, Bart. They finally did." He said going alomg with the joke.
"Well, good. We can finally hang in public. I was beginning to think you were in my imagination."
"If only you were in ours." Kara said next to Connor.
"Come on, you know that nobody as awsome as me could be in somebody's head."
"In what universe?" Kara asked.
"In any universe you want me to be in."
"How 'bout the one where I'm not in it."
"Come on baby, don't be like that."
"Now kids, get along." Connor said.
"Who you calling 'kid' four year old?" Kara asked.
"Hey, just because I'm technally "4" doesn't mean that I'm a kid. Like you guys the way you act around each other."
"Yeah, Kara."
"Whatever."
"Can you ex-love birds please stop it! I've been bickering all day and I'm tired of it. I especailly don''t want to here it from you two.!" Connor blurted out.
"Woe. You okay, bro?" Bart said surprised.
"Yeah, it's just that I had a bad day today. I'm trying to forget about it, but no use. It's still in my head."
"Who is she?" Oliver Queen said barging in to the conversation.
"What do you mean?"
"You said that you had a bad day and it won't get out of your head. That only happens when there's a girl involved. Trust me, I know."
"Her name is Mel and she goes to my school. She doesn't talk that much to people. When she does, she's extremely rude. And we only met today!"
"Yeah, I had a lot of good relationships that started like that."
"Ewe. I do not see her like that at all."
"What do you see her as?"
"The she devil."
"A lot of first impressions can decieve a person from seeing the the real person they don't like. But if you get to know that person, you'll seen that real person she is."
"But why are you telling me this the first day I met her?"
"Because, you don't judge the book by its cover. You judge it by what's in it. Just like a person. You don't judge her when you first meet. You get to know her better and see who she really is. Then -who knows- you'll like her."
"Wow, Ollie. I didn't know you can be so deep. Who are you and what've done with my rich camanding boss?" Bart said freakd out.
"Yeah, usally my mom says stuff like that. Looks like she's growing on you, big softy." Connor said.
"What? I can be sensative? Just because I'm incrediablly gorgeous does not mean I'm not sensative. Just think about what I said, okay?"
"Yeah, I'll think about it." He said.
Then they got to their table and "mingled" for a bit. Then it started. A man with a fancy suit said, "Hello, thak you all for coming to this wonderful event for our teenagers with different problems that our sponcers here today are trying help these teens. Now here we have a very special guest. Our one and only William Richmond."
The crowd clapped and then the mayor of Metropilis came out. He talked about the teens and about helping them and all that. Then he said, "Now, myself has a beautiful teenage daughter, so I can relate to some of you parents. It's a struggle but I love her with my life. She's now going to say some words about being a teenager and her opinain of how these programs can help teens. Ladies and getlman, my daughter, Melanie Richmond."
The most surprising thing happened, though. The person who he called his daughter was her. The girl who was extremely rude to him all day at school! The girl who he already hated. The girl that Oliver Queen was defending! Mayor William Richmond's daughter was Mel!
The other suprising thing was that she looked good. Like really good. She was wearing a short red spagatti strapped dress and her hair was all straight and shinny. She looked like a movie star! Connor couldn't belive what he saw. The girl who was so mean to him was standing on the podiam looking like she was the most beautiful girl in the whole world. Oh, great, he thought I think she's hot.
