Chapter 2: Good Morning Gotham!
When I walked out of our apartment building I immediatly wish I hadn't. The screeching noises of car stops and the obnoixious horns were damaging my ears. Jesus Christ. I quickly took out my Zune (haha i-pod suck it!) and jabbed my earphones into my ears. I didn't care what I had to listen to as long as it wasn't the noises of screeching cars. I pressed play and listened to what ever random song played. The first song was "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. I laughed at the irony. The beeping of the cars could only be heard in the background now, as I began my pace towards school. People pushed and bumped into me as they rushed by. God I hate cities. I moved at my pace making sure not to slow down. It was now 8:15.
"GOOOOOOOD MORNINGG GOTHAM CITYY!!!!" I heard a voice yell. So surprised that the yell managed to get past my earphones I took them off and realized the voice seemed to be coming from speakers. Everything became silent. Everyone stopped in their tracks and stood dazed. What the hell?
"How iss everyone doing thisss fine morning?" the voice laughed. Whoever was talking sure did sound insane. People began to whisper next to me. Joker... Joker... It's the Joker... Where's Batman? Another attack..."Wellllllll" the voice began, "I have to say that I ammm doing rather greattttt this morningg....y'a knoww, robbing banks hereee, killing people theree, same old same old." Everyone gasped, including me. Why did my parents not mention that there was a insane killer going around Gotham?! And who the hell is Batman?
"Welllllll Gotham, I really gotta flyy, I have a feeling that little Batty might be coming to find me nowwww..... so tahhtahh!" He laughed hystarically after his last remark. Then the streets became quite for a couple of moments. No one moved. No one talked. Nothing was making noise. Finally after a minute people started moving again. I looked down at my watch. Damnit, already 8:20. I knew that I had to run to atleast reach the school on time.
"Lame." I sighed and started bolting past people walking the opposite direction. The cars had started making their noises again. I passed by them so they looked like blurs in the wind. Finally the school came into view. The school sat inbetween two buisness buildings. Of course there isn't even room to build a school somewhere else. Students crowded around the court yard and sat in different groups. I reached the gate of the school and walked in. Even though everyone sat in a different group they all talked about the same things. I heard the Joker was planning this. Ah, I wish the Joker would come capture me...That Joker scares me...There are rumors that the authorities might know who the Joker is...
I passed by each and everyone of them. Like I said, being the new kid on the first day sucks. Espicially if you have no idea what the hell anyone is talking about.
