It is currently four in the morning and I have yet to fall asleep. My after school expedition has been the only thing on my mind since my talk with Artemis. Somehow Barbara and I will have to convince the others of our relationship. Now how could we do that? The first thing that comes to mind would be to kiss her in front of them, but that is out of the question. That would be like kissing my sister it would feel wrong and disgusting. What else can we do though? In the end would "proving" our relationship even be worth it at this point? What happens if Artemis believes us and it pushes her even farther away? God this is frustrating, no wonder I cannot fall asleep.

I awake to the sound of my alarm clock which is set for 6 AM. Well that is just great, I will be going to school with little to no sleep and then afterwards I have to do even more tiring things. Well things cannot get any worse today could they?

By the end of the day I would come to regret uttering that phrase. As if I jinxed myself things went wrong all day. First on the way to school a stray tree branch caught on my backpack as I was walking a tore it open. All of my homework assignments for the day were lost in the wind. After that, my homeroom teacher scolded me for not handing in my homework so I had to do board problems. They were not hard since I am a genius after all, but the effort it took to move my hand to write was almost too much for me. Lastly as I was climbing the stairs someone turned the corner while running, crashed into me, and caused me to fall down each and every step. Today was not turning out in my favor.

I received a text from Barbara to meet up on the roof during lunch time with the word emergency written in all caps. Once lunch finally decided to roll around I made my up the stairs to the roof to talk with Barbara. I wonder what she wanted to talk about…..actually I bet it has to do with tonight. When I made it to the top there was no one else there, maybe she was caught up in class or something. "Well hello accomplice," A familiar voice rang out.

I turned around and sure enough Barbara was standing several feet behind me. "So what was up with your text? What emergency?" I asked in curiosity while hoping that it had nothing to do with tonight.

"What else would it be about," She stated as she rolled her eyes. My smile fell once I hear her answer. I was almost certain that this was what she wanted to talk about, but I still hoped it was about something else. "Anyways, we have to do whatever they say to prove that we are dating. Do you understand?"

"Um," I started sheepishly. "Are you sure about this? If they really do start believing that we are dating won't they pull farther away from us? I think that maybe we should refrain from bending to their will, we can just say that we are too shy to do stuff like that in public yet." One look at her face told me that my reasoning did not make it through to her.

"Look Wally, say we tell them no like you said once we do that they won't believe us and they will avoid us for lying to them. Remember the whole reason that we are doing this is to make them jealous is it not?" Barbara explained.

"I do see your logic but I feel like you might be putting too much faith in their feelings. Are you sure that they even care anymore? I mean Dick ditched you for Zatanna and Artemis dumped me. There has to be a reason why they did that right? Which means they probably do not like us the way that we do," I countered hoping to get through to her this time.

"Alright you say that they do not care anymore right? Then why are they making us prove to them that we are dating anyway? Is that not proof that they are jealous? If they are jealous then that means that they like us does it not?" Barbara asked in an all knowing tone. She had a point there, why else would they make us do this? "I can tell by your face that you agree with me, so just do as they ask us tonight alright?" I nodded my head before leaving for my next class. There is a fifty-fifty chance that this will work, like the flip of a coin. Is lady luck on my side? Time will tell.

I hop out of the shower and dry myself off before checking my phone. I am supposed to meet up at Barbara's house and then go with her to Dick's mansion. The party starts at 7, so if I want to make it in time then I am going to have to head to Barbara's now.

It was now closing in on 7PM and I had just arrived at Barbara's. Sadly I do not have a license yet so my had to be my ride here. I wave her goodbye and make my way to the limo that Barbara is waiting at. "A lime really? Don't you think that's a little too flashy?" I tease.

Barbara elbows me in the ribs while replying, "Haha very funny. It was my dad's idea it is not like I had a say in the matter. He is under the impression that we are dating after all." When she said that I could see pain in her eyes so I backed off from teasing her. I did not even realize until then that I had only been thinking about myself. The only thing on my mind was trying to make Artemis realize she still had feelings for me, but if that plan worked for me but not for Barbara what would I do? If I bailed on her then she still would not be with Dick. No, I will stick with this until we both have our happy ending because I know that she would do the same for me.

"So Artemis what will you do if the two of them are actually dating?" Zatanna asked me in a serious tone.

I scoffed before answering her, "There is no need to worry about that, he has not forgot me. This is all just an act he is putting on to try to make me crawl back to him." There is no way he would like her more than me. It just isn't possible.

"Okay but what if you are wrong? You wouldn't stand in the way of their happiness would you?" Zatanna countered.

"Oh please, the only reason that you care so much about this is because of Barbara. You are afraid that Dick will go to her, but if she actually is dating Wally then you won't have to worry," I mutter in anger.

"Even if that is true, would it really be that bad if they were together? Would it not be best for the two of them to be happy?" Zatanna questioned me.

"Yes it would," I coldy snapped, ending the conversation.

Wally better be joking, there is no way Wally would be with Barbara, they are just friends. There is no way! But why am I getting so angry over this? Do I actually have feelings for her as more than a friend? No, the one I truly have feelings for is Zatanna right? I chose her after all didn't I?
