Chapter 4

Artemis's POV

"Oh hell no," I said wide eyed at my reflection. Zee had just put me into a forest green crop top and a mustard colored corduroy skirt. And if that wasn't the worst part, Megan had just brought out 3 inch heels. Those shoes were about 3 inches too tall for comfort. "This is normal for parties like this. Plus, Dick got this invite from Emma Johnson, which means that everyone will be dressed like this," Megan said while smoothing out her red and white fit-and-flare dress. Zee spritzed some hairspray in her freshly curled hair, "you can't live in combat boots and jeans for the rest of your life." "I can sure try," I mumbled under my breath. "I'll make a deal with you," Zee began while deciding what earrings would go with her top, "if you wear the top and the shoes, then you can wear pants and style the outfit however you want, but Megan and I have to approve." "Done."

Thank goodness Zee knows me well enough. I quickly slipped into a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. I sighed as I slowly put on the 3 inch heels Megan brought me. Luckily they weren't stilettos, or else I would have died. As I tried to put my hair up into its signature ponytail, Megan walked by, grabbed the elastic band, and put it around her wrist as to say, "nope not today." I groaned as a reluctantly brushed and parted my hair to the side. It was a bit on the wavy side, so I just pinned up my bangs.

"Are we ready?" Megan said cheerfully. They knew I didn't want to go, but literally everyone forced me, even my own mother. She thought it would be a great way to make new friends or whatever.

Wally's POV

The house was packed. By the time Conner, Kaldur, Dick, and I arrived (late. my bad), the music was already turned all the way up, and people were already dancing like they were a bit tipsy. "And this, my friends, is why I am not very fond of parties," Kaldur said uncomfortably. The kid wasn't very social. He preferred to be alone when with a large crowd, but was perfectly comfortable in our small group of friends. "Tell me about it," a new voice said, "but at least you didn't have to get ready with these two." We all turned to the voice, and all our jaws dropped (apparently mine more than the others).

Her midriff was showing, her hair was down, and was that makeup? She is stunning. Ew no Wally stop. She's just an annoying girl who's friends with your friends. But look at her hair. Gosh Wall-man! "Zatanna looking good!" Dick said as he sauntered over to his girlfriend bumping her in the ribs with his elbow. "I must admit, you girls look lovely tonight out of our usual uniforms," Kaldur continued. I tired to look over at Conner for support, but it seems he and Megan had already taken off. "This," Zee began, "is my masterpiece. With some compromises of course, but Artemis you look hot." "Yeah, yeah whatever," Artemis said waving her best friend off, but clearly hiding a slight smile, "where's the food?"

Dick's POV

"Truth or Dare in the basement!" I yelled as I pulled Wally away from the chips. Many people don't know this, but I am the master of manipulation, and truth or dare is the perfect way to do it. I have to win this bet with Zee. Granted we only bet twenty bucks, but it'll prove that my gut feeling is always right. When we arrived downstairs, only Zee, Artemis, Kaldur, and Barbara were there, "I thought you said you were going to get Conner and Megan?" "I tried," Zee began, "but Taylor said she saw them go into a bedroom, and I am not interrupting anything." Wally gave her a small "I'm sorry" smile then sat down. Being a prodigy, I have found several skills that many people don't have. Apparently, one of them is being able to spin a bottle perfectly to have it land exactly where I want it to. Not the most useful skill, but amazing for trolling.

I spun the bottle and it landed on Wally, "Dare," Wally said quickly.

"I dare you to kiss the person I spin the bottle on." Wally gave me a smirk, "oh please, that's not even hard. Just wait when this bottle lands on your own girlfriend." "We aren't dating!" Zee and I said at the same time. Artemis laughed her head off, while Zee tried to hide behind her hair. I chuckled to myself; Wally had no idea what was coming. I spun the bottle. Each pair of eyes followed the bottle until it landed on exactly who I wanted it to. Kaldur. "Uh," Wally said to the air, "okay then," he continued slowly. Before he could move a muscle, Kaldur piped up, "if you do not mind, my friends, I am highly uncomfortable with this. So if you would excuse me, I'm going to go back upstairs to find something non-alcoholic to drink."
