After the last bell rang, each student in the school started heading out to their parents waiting outside. Sam just stood in front of her locker, staring into it. She had no place to go, she didn't even know exactly how she got the scholarship to go to Gotham Academy. She didn't think she was really smart like Richard, or the rest of the students.

Richard was about to walk out the school doors, when he noticed Sam just standing there doing absolutely nothing. 'Doesn't she have to go home to her family?' He thought to himself, then saw a sad expression on her face, and that made his heart sink. He didn't like to see her sad, he didn't know why, he just didn't like to see her sad. So he turned around and walked over to her. "Sam?" He asked and put a hand on her shoulder. She jumped when he did so.

"Yeah?" She asked, turning around to face Richard.

"Isn't your family waiting for you?" Richard asked as he saw tears forming in Sam's eyes. Tears streamed down her face.

"I don't have a family." She said to him, crying. Seeing her cry made Richard feel even worse. Why didn't this girl have a family? Richard hugged her tightly. Trying to make her feel better and calm down, but it didn't work, Well not at first. After a couple minutes she started to calm down, her tears had stopped and she sniffled. She was actually hugging Richard back tightly which made him blush.

Richard looked down at the girl. "Would you like to stay at the manor? I bet Alfred wouldn't mind, Bruce probably wont mind either."

Sam smiled slightly at Richard. "I'd like that, It'd feel nice to not have to sleep on pavement for once." Richard nodded and helped her to her feet and locked her locker door for her. He took Sam's hand and started walking out of the school, Richard, pulling Sam behind him.
