The halls were full as the students walked past each other with schedules in their hands, trying to find their way to class. Two female students who already retrieved their schedules walked side by side in this new school. They were freshman as well as best friends. With all the commotion the students were given twenty minutes to find their way around school and get to first period classes.
"I really want to change my hairstyle," said the one with light brown hair that reached her shoulders. "Brown is just so dull these days."
"Jenn, your hair looks fine."
"I know but I would really like something that's different from everyone else, you know. Maybe something that brings out my eyes." said Jenn.
"Speaking about eyes check out the major hottie down the hall..."
"You are so boy crazy, Jade."
"Hey, I am not!" Jade said while crossing her arms.
"You are too," said Jenn. "It's just that once you get a guy you get picky."
"Oh, and you're not picky."
Jenn laughed. "Okay, point taken."
They continued their walk down the hall with bliss but it was ruined once someone, a red-haired boy, bumped into Jenn. Now this may not have been a problem but the boy was rushing and didn't even stop to apologize. That's when Jenn got mad.
"Hey you jerk, why don't you open your eyes and watch where you're going."
The boy paused and looked back at her. "Excuse me?"
"What are you dumb? You bumped into me just a few seconds ago." Jenn said angrily.
"And you're yelling at me because of that?" the boy asked with an amused voice.
"The word duh comes to mind." Jenn said with narrowed eyes.
This boy was beginning to bug her. Couldn't he just apologize and stop acting like a jerk already? Instead of an apology she received a insult instead from the boy with red hair.
"You might wanna think about anger management."
"Excuse me!"
"Okay, you're excused." the boy chuckled before walking off.
Jenn was left in her spot fuming. "You stupid jerk! Come back here so I can kick your ass!"
Jade quickly grabbed on to Jenn, knowing just how violent her friend could be. The last thing she needed was to start a fight with some random boy on her first day in high school.
Mean while the boy with red hair continued his walk down the hall. He sighed in frustration, that girl with the brown hair really got to him. If he would have known high school was filled with girls that had attitude problems he would have rather stayed in middle school. As he turned the hall he spotted two of his best friends. Since they currently had their backs turned he gave them a little push, almost sending them tumbling to the ground. The boy with red hair burst out laughing as his two friends turned towards him.
"Wally, dammit, you need to grow up." growled the one with orange hair.
"Aw, lighten up, Roy," said Wally coolly. "It was just a small joke."
"Shouldn't we be getting to class." mumbled the third who had black hair.
"Alain's right, we don't want to be late to class..." Roy said but he trailed off as he eyed a pair of girls walking by.
Wally shook his head. "Trust me, Roy, those girls aren't worth it."
"How would you know?"
"Cause I met one like three minutes ago and to be honest she was kind of a bitch."
"But was she cute?" Roy asked.
"Tell me something, Wally," said Alain. "You wouldn't have done anything to upset this girl now would you?"
"I sorta bumped into her but that was no reason for her to chew my head off."
Roy snickered and shook his head. Wally wasn't exactly prince charming when it came to girls. Roy suddenly stopped when he saw a familiar face.
"Yo, Dick!"
Dick, who was walking with his friends, stopped and turned his head. "Roy?"
"Hey, Dick. I didn't know you were going to this school," Roy said as he approached Dick and his group. "How is Bruce doing?"
"He's good." Dick answered.
"Hey, Dick, who's your friend?" Gar asked.
"This is Roy Harper. I met him during one of Bruce's charity balls," Dick said. "He's the ward of Oliver Queen."
"Well it's very nice to meet you, Roy," said Kori kindly as she extended her hand. "I'm Kori Anders."
Roy smiled coolly and took her hand gently. "I've heard about you. Daughter to Myan Anders," Roy kissed her hand. "Pleased to meet you."
Vic grabbed Kori and pushed her behind him. "I'm Vic and if you keep flirting with the little lady we gonna have some problems."
Roy stepped back and that's when Alain and Wally walked up behind him.
"Excuse my friend Roy," said Alain. "He's a bit of a flirt. I'm Alain Aqua."
Once Alain stepped into vew Kori and Raven gasped. They each had hearts in their eyes as they looked at Alain. They couldn't deny it, he was attractive. While they ogled him Gar introduced himself.
"Hey, the name's Gar," Gar pointed behind him. "That's Karen and that's Raven."
"I'm Wally," said Wally, introducing himself. "It's nice to meet all of you."
"We were on our way to history class," said Karen. "What about you guys?"
"We got history too."
"Cool, we can go together." Alain suggested and the others agreed.
The hearts in Kori and Raven's eyes grew as they walked behind Alain.
"He is so cute." Kori whispered to Raven.
"I know..." Raven whispered back.
It was a short walk to their history class and when they walked into their classroom Wally spotted a familiar face as did Dick and his companions.
"Oh no." they all said at the same time.
A girl with pink eyes and brown hair flashed her eyes towards the door when a small group entered the room. She immediately spotted the boy with red hair from earlier.
"You," she said bitterly, standing up from her chair. "What are you doing here?"
"I have first period here." Wally said while glaring at her.
"You mean I have class with you," Jenn groaned. "Gee, ain't I the lucky one."
While Jenn and Wally continued to glare at each other Dick and his friends were dealing with a familiar face of their own. Kitten Moth, the girl with blonde hair and blue eyes who had known the small group of friends since elementary school was the familiar face that Dick saw before him. Seeing her could only mean trouble...
"Dickie-poo! Is that you," Kitten shouted as she stood up and walked towards him. "It is you!"
She quickly latched herself on to his arm and pulled him closer to her. Ever since Kitten laid eyes on Dick she has had the biggest crush on him. One thing about Kitten was that she wasn't shy. She gladly showed her affection towards Dick, even if he turned her down countless times.
"Dickie-poo, you must come sit with me and my friends." Kitten said as she pulled at his arm, a gesture for him to follow her.
Dick was suddenly yanked away from her.
"Sorry, but Dick is sitting with me and our friends." Kori said coldly while holding Dick's hand.
It was no secret that Kori and Kitten didn't get along but their bitter relationship turned even more furious when Dick was involved.
Before another word could be uttered amongst the students the door was slammed shut and a strict looking old man walked in. His eyes narrowed at each and every student in the room.
"Sit." he ordered.
Not one student disobeyed him. Kori, Dick, Vic, Karen, Gar and Raven took the front seats while Roy, Alain and Wally sat behind them. Behind Wally and Alain said Jenn and Jade, then it was Kitten and her friends. Behind them was a group of boys who looked less than happy to be in school.
The old man walked up to the chalk board and began to write something.
Jade leaned over to whisper something to Jenn. "This guys looks creepy."
Jenn nodded in agreement.
The old man finished what he was writing and drew a line under the sentence he wrote, causing a loud screech to be heard in the room. Some of the students covered their ears to block out the sound.
"My name is Mr. Immortus," said the old man. "I will be your teacher this year for the subject of global history." Mr. Immortus began to walk and talk at the same time around the classroom. "I do not tolerate failure nor do I tolerate disrespect. There will be no clowning around in my class room. There will be no food in this classroom. You are to be on time. There will be no fighting and no cell phones or other technology. Understood?"
Someone snorted.
Mr. Immortus paused and glared at the young man who snorted. The boy had his feet on the desk and a hood over his head.
"Name?" Mr. Immortus ordered.
"None of your business."
The class gasped.
Mr. Immortus narrowed his eyes. "Name. Now."
Silence filled the room.
"Red." was all the boy said.
That was enough for My. Immortus. He pulled out a list of students he would be teaching this year and glanced down. "Ah yes, Mr. Red... Feet off the table please."
Reluctantly Xavier did as he was told and removed his feet off the desk. "Well since you said please..."
"Listen boy, I have been working here for over thirty years. It would be best for you to not test my patience."
"I've dealt with guys scarier than you."
Mr. Immortus gritted his teeth and stalked away, muttering something under his breath. All eyes went to the front but Kori looked over her shoulder at the boy who called himself Red. With his hood over his head like that she couldn't get a good look at him. The boy lifted his head and looked back at her. Kori quickly turned her head back and when she did a large text book was dropped on to her desk. Kori eeped due to the surprise. Mr. Immortus continued to walk to each student and drop a heavy text book on their desk along with a rental card.
Vic sighed. "This is gonna be a long day."
---
The day was slowly moving by and when lunch time came, the students couldn't be happier. So far a select few of freshman had endured the torture of three classes, global history, living environment and Spanish. It was only the first day and the students already viewed Mr. Immortus as pure evil. Their second teacher, Mr. Plasmus, wasn't any better. He was extremely boring and half the time he was dozing off. Spanish class hadn't been all that bad. The teacher Mrs. Rosa was nice but she had already given them homework. It was the first day and they already had homework.
How lucky were they?
The students were just happy that lunch time finally came and they could escape from the teachers for awhile. As Kori and her friends found a empty table and made themselves comfortable, Roy came over with a wide grin on his face.
"Hey guys. Uh, Dick, can I talk to you real quick?"
"Sure," Dick stood up and excused himself from his friends. He followed Roy over to an empty table. "So, what's up, Roy?"
"Dude, during living environment I met this really hot girl and guess what."
"What?"
"She has a friend," Roy said happily. "So come on, I promised to meet her during lunch and that I'd bring a friend."
"Say what," Dick shook his head. "Sorry but I'm not interested."
Roy gave a frustrated sigh and rubbed his temples. "I can't bring Wally and Alain already said no. Come on, Dick, I need you to come with me."
"Can't you get Gar to do it instead?"
"No. It has to be you."
"Why me?"
Roy began to laugh and Dick rose a brow. Just what exactly was so funny?
"You're kidding right," Roy asked in between laughs. Dick crossed his arms. "Oh, you're not kidding. You really have no clue do you?"
"Clue about what?" Dick asked, beginning to get annoyed.
"Dude, take a look around," Roy said and Dick did as he was told. "What do you notice?"
"Um...," Dick sighed. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to be seeing. That's when he noticed a group of girls at a table. They were looking at him and giggling. "I don't understand. What's--"
"The ladies are interested in you Dick. Haven't you noticed the stares?"
Dick thought about what Roy just said. During class he had noticed a numerous amount of girls looking at him. He hadn't thought much about it but now...
"So you're saying that all these girls like me?" Dick asked.
Roy nodded. "And if you play your cards right you may just get a few numbers."
"I don't know about this..." Dick said hesitantly, looking back over at Kori.
"Dammit, Dick. You're the ward to Bruce Wayne. It's about time you took advantage of that. Now come on, we have a meeting with a couple of hot girls."
---
After a long day the students of Jump City High School were all relieved that the last period of school finally came. Kori would have been happy but the fact that Dick ditched lunch to go off with Roy was still bothering her. And what bothered her more was the fact that it bothered her. Dick was a free person, he could hang out with whoever he wanted. But when lunch ended and English class began with Mr. Warp, Kori saw Dick purposely sit next to some girl. For some reason that sparked something inside her, she just wasn't sure what.
"What's our next class?" Karen asked as they all continued their walk down the hall.
"Life."
"Life," Gar repeated. "What kind of class is that?"
"It's supposed to help us think about the future and our choices," Raven sighed. "I am so not looking forward to this."
"You never look forward to anything." Gar said with a small grin.
"I look forward to slapping you."
Gar gulped.
Once they entered the room they all took seats. Roy, Alain and Wally walked into the room and took seats opposite of them. A little after they arrived, Jenn and Jade walked in.
"Oh come on!" Wally cried. So far this girl Jenn was in each of his classes.
"Great, yet another class with the red-headed fool." Jenn said while glaring at Wally.
"She doesn't mean that." Jade said with a nervous chuckle while she pulled Jenn to the opposite side of the room.
"Yes I do!"
Jenn sat down in the middle of Jade and Raven, still glaring at Wally who was across from her.
"Is there a reason why you dislike Wally?" Raven asked, turning her head to the side to look at Jenn.
"You mean besides the fact that he's a rude idiot?" Jenn asked.
Raven couldn't help but chuckle at Jenn's comment.
The door opened and a woman who looked to be in her early thirties walked in. She walked up to the front of the room and clapped her hands. "Can I have everyone's attention please."
The class fell silent.
"Thank you. Okay, first thing's first, I'm Mrs. Donavin. I'll be your teacher for life class."
Vic raised his hand.
"Yes?"
"Just what is this class about anyways?" Vic asked.
"That is a good question. This class is used to help develop the student mind. In this class we'll talk about real issues and problems as well as concerns for the future," said Mrs. Donavin. "Now, our first order of business will be about some of the things teenagers like yourself get addicted to."
Mrs. Donavin picked up a stack of pamphlets and began to pass them out to the students.
---
Life class came to an end and the students were finally dismissed. Dick exited the class and Kori quickly followed him, wondering why he was in such a rush.
"Dick, wait up," Kori called out as she caught up to him. "Where are you going? I thought we were gonna walk home together."
"Oh... well, it's just that Roy and I planned to go do something after school." Dick said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh...," Kori said quietly, her mood plummeting to the ground. She put on a fake smile. "Well you two have fun. I'll call you later."
Dick gave a short nod and sighed in relief. He kissed Kori's cheek and said a quick good bye. He walked down the hall and joined Roy who was standing besides two girls.
Kori frowned and turned her head away. "Some first day this turned out to be."
