Chapter 3:
Wally West
So it had been over a week and the girls who have codename themselves the birds of prey wouldn't leave me alone! I had tried to shake them off my tail it's as if they notice you they will never stop noticing you specially when they want your help to bring down one of the most popular guys in school and in the whole city plus richest... yeah keep coming back that. Richard Grayson apparently isn't related to Bruce Wayne the million or wait was it billionaire. Bruce Wayne had adopted Grayson when he was a kid and decided to make him his ward. Who gets snapped up like that and made the richest kid in Gotham god knows, But yeah they were seriously rich they had a mansion and owned a tech company and all.
It was lunch time and I had just snacked on an energy bar after going to the gym class which involved no ball throwing thank god but lots of bars and running, and I had promised my mum that I would attend my classes like a little teacher's pet. Good excuse of not meeting anybody new part from the bird of prey and Stephanie and Cassie, but boy did I speak to soon.
"Artemis?" I moaned my mum had only decided to look at my grades from my last school, I had decided to hide it five times but yeah she somehow managed to find it. "Have you seen this, if you go to Gotham high you won't be able to stay in that school" "Mum, Most of the population are street kids anyway I wouldn't be the first" She glared down at me like it was the worst thing I could say "Street kid or not, that school will be transferring students to a new academy sponsored by Bruce Wayne and their looking out for high grades and potential and You need this Artemis, not for me but for you" Tears had started to fill her eyes as she looked down at the paper "I never took the time and the chances I needed to get anywhere, if I did we might have better support and I wouldn't have to have to work overtime everyday to put food on the table" I stopped frozen, she never told me that support money had crashed... There was my Aunt who lived in Philadelphia and my sister was apparently doing well in Star City from what I heard, but it never hit me that it could be this bad "Mum I'll work hard I promise I'll even get to class early and concentrate more" She smiled hugging me "Thank you"
Today was strange specially this morning, I had gone to the gym and training area in the school where there was any archery set sitting waiting for me (before gym class) and after I'd spent thirty minutes shooting coach Dinah came up to me saying if I wanted a spot on the Justice tournament or as she said it Tournament of justice. She explained that the archers for Gotham high had one drop out and wanted to see if I could fill the spot. She said there was large sums of money and prizes up for grabs and I could compete in two categories if I wanted but that meant competing for only a few spots with the whole student body. I didn't even have to think for another second so of course I said yes!
So there I was early for science, a new class I decided to take for mum's sake even if it meant me having not even a five minute gap to get to English. I walked in further in the room to see no one there at all so I took the seat at the front left keeping my promise to mum, if I was up front I wouldn't dare of thinking of falling asleep. "Ah sorry, but you're sitting in my seat" I almost fell off as I turned to see who was talking to me; I was surprised to see a boy a bit taller than me with ginger hair and lots of freckles.
"Hi, I thought you can sit anywhere in any class" which I thought was true since this school didn't seem to mind if you changed seat it was just harder to remember who was missing from the class. "Yeah but I always sit on this table ... But you can sit on the other seat since no one else is going occupy it for the rest of semester" He seemed sad "Why's that?" I asked before my mind could even think for a moment "Ah My old lab partner kind of had to leave for awhile and he isn't back until next semester" Oh so I must be taking this guys place since there was only one space left in this class "I'm Wally West" he put his hand out and I looked at it for a minute "It's called a handshake if you didn't know" he was smirking now "Artemis, Artemis Crock" I said only grabbing his hand with two fingers and shaking it like I didn't wasn't sure the trust him at all. "So You're the Flash kid they've been talking about" it was a pure guess, People had been saying one of the best runners and best friend of Richard Grayson had walked out of a race and shouting at Grayson a lot before he took leave and no one really said much apart from red hair and science nerd. "Yeah By the way it's Kid flash not Flash kid... that's been going around a lot?" she nodded "What was it about anyway?" I asked trying to start a small talk conversation.
"Ah he kind of flirted with the girl I was dating... I mean flirting I mean he completely cheated with her, so he tried to play it out as if it never happened but she told me one night so I just snapped and it was meant to be this big race for the tournament Justice they have threw out the year... I kind of lost everything because I couldn't pretend to let it go" I stayed silent for a minute the tournament of justice sounded big, I didn't know it was that big, well that big with all big prizes well that's what Dinah said "My lab partner, my other best friend left early in the year saying he met someone but he'd be back to finish the end of year exams for sure. He was an archer for the Justice tournament but because he isn't here, they want to take his place of the list and give it to someone else" OH NO, I remember what Coach Dinah had said early today... That spot was mine if I wanted it and I already took it without a second thought "Oh that's a shame" I said aloud when the room started to fill in with students and a teacher walked up to the front "Hi I'm Mr. Queen and I'm filling in for Mr. Allen Today" Oh did that name sound familiar, oh wait wasn't that Dinah's boyfriends name... Oh Crap "Oh Hey you're Artemis Crock, Congrats my girlfriend told me you got the spot in the justice tournament as the new archer" Wally turned to glare at me and I sank down in my seat wishing for the day to be over.
