I ADVISE YOU TO READ THE BOLD PRINT BEFORE AND EVERY CHAPTER
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Young Justice….but it'll be pretty damn cool if I did.
So hey! As a new author, I don't know how to make long chapters without either going off track, making it boring or something else that'll make y'all uninterested.
If there's ever a time where my schedule isn't full or i'm not lazy, you should be expecting two to three chapters each week.
Anyways...Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Monday August 28th 2017. Central City, West Resident
"How much longer, Mel?!" Yelled the dark haired boy
"Be patient! It's the first day of school. I wanna look my best." Said girl replied with an annoyed tone
"Does she always do this?" Nathan asked.
"You'll get used to it." Replied Jai in an uninterested way. A couple of minutes later, Melanie walked down the stairs in the new official Gotham Academy girls uniform. Wearing a navy blue, light grey and black plaid skirt, matching tie, white collared polo shirt, navy blue blazer, light grey knee high socks and navy blue flats.
"Hurry up guys. Let's leave before they get here." She hurriedly whispered. The three teens grabbed their book bags and other things before they headed to the door.
"Now where do you think you're going?" A voice said. Slowly, Jai turned around and replied with a smile.
"We were just looking for you, mom!"
"Oh really? Artemis asked skeptically folding her arms with an unimpressed face. "Outside of the house?" She shook her head and silently reached behind her to grab her phone out her back pocket. "Now...strike a pose!" She said excitedly.
After a few poses here and there, she finally let the three teens out of her motherly grasps. "Ooh! I have to send these to Barbara! She squealed. Now shoo, shoo. You kids gotta get on your way or you're gonna be late on your first day."
"Bye mom, love you!"
"Bye mom. Tell dad to save me some wings, kay?"
"Bye Aunt Arty!"
And just like that, Nathaniel Grayson, and Melanie and Jai West were off to their first day of school at Gotham Academy.
Gotham City, Gotham Academy
"Move it, nerd." spat a tall junior sporting a Gotham football jersey. Surrounding cheerleaders and jocks laughed as they walked by.
"Testosterone filled monkey's" Melanie muttered under her breath as she finally got to her locker. Her, Jai and Nathan had split up almost as soon as they walked in the school to find their locker, but decided to meet at a nearby water fountain.
Melanie didn't really think of her appearance and attractiveness towards boys at all. She just wasn't the type to stand in front of a mirror for an hour doing her makeup….she didn't wear makeup in general. It's not like she didn't consider herself pretty, more like average looking. But as for the past few days, she's been losing confidence in herself. Ever since she started slowing down she's been really self-conscious.
She takes pride in her speed. It's her...everything. For as long as she can remember her speed had always been a part of her and now it's slowly...depleting? She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the brown haired boy trying to get her attention.
"Excuse me. E-Excuse me...miss?" He said hesitantly. Not knowing if she truly couldn't hear him or she was choosing to ignore him. Melanie snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head so fast that any faster, she would've gotten whiplash.
"I am so sorry." She apologized, combing her hair back in place with her fingers.
"It's fine." He said, letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He flashed a boyish grin at her before continuing. "I was wondering if you can direct me to the principal's office?" He asked with a thick Spanish accent.
"Oh..yeah! One sec. She quickly took out her binder and her schedule and shoved her book bag into her locker without a second thought. "Okey-dokey!" She chirped, slightly cringing in her head at her choice of words. "Let's get going, shall we?"
"Do you see her?"
"Dude, you've asked that same question 7 times in the past 5 minutes. I can't keep waiting for my sister. "We have three minutes to get to class." Informed Jai with a blank expression on his face. "I'll meet up with you after school."
"Yeah okay." Sighed Nathan watching Jai disappear into the crowd of kids rushing to get to their class. About a minute later, Nathan pushed himself off the wall and started to head to class himself...that's until he caught a glimpse of Vibrant orange-blonde hair in the crowd.
Melanie. He thought. Then he immediately began to follow her. It wasn't that hard to keep track of her though. I mean….he is Robin.
He was planning to catch up to her, exchange schedules, scold her for not meeting up with him and Jai, then head to their respected classes but the blue eyed boy stopped in his tracks when he noticed the slightly tall dark haired boy walking down the hall next to her.
What in the he-
"Excuse me. Are you lost, sweetie?"
Nathan turned around and suddenly became aware of his surroundings. He looked up at the woman that was talking to him.
She had cherry blonde hair that was flipped over to one side of her head. She wore a pink blouse with a white undershirt that made her chest pop out even more and the shortest grey pencil skirt he'd ever seen. He looked at her name badge hanging from her key chain.
Lindsay Denshire.
She put on a sickly sweet smile and asked him the question again. "Umm..yeah...Ms. Denshire…." He trailed off. Looking behind her once more just in time to see Melanie and the mysterious boy turn the corner.
"Okay well how about I take a look at your schedule and we can-" He zoned out a bit. She reek of cheap perfume but you can still smell the smoked cigarettes under all of it. Her makeup was horrible too. Light blue eye shadow and too much lip gloss on her.
"Actually." He suddenly spoke up after a couple of seconds, cutting the blonde off mid-sentence of whatever she was saying. "I got it now. Thanks." He quickly walked down the hall, a little too eager to get to his class now.
Ms. Denshire, huh? He thought, Still feeling her gaze on the back of his head.
Okay people! That's a wrap!
