Chapter 16

SMACK!

The ruler landed about two inches away from my nose. "Jamie, that was your last warning, now give me your chair," my art teacher told me.

I slowly stood up and pushed my chair over so it was by the wall. My meeting with Batman and Robin had gone great but I was too excited the rest of the night to sleep. I had drawn about twenty different uniform ideas before I decided on one I would actually be willing to wear. The longer I worked on them the more I considered the idea that I might be able to shape shift just my clothes. I had tried but hadn't been able to get it to work. And now I had to pay for my all-nighter.

Jade just looked at me, I could tell that she was debating if she was going to laugh at me or pity me. I didn't really need either of them. "You might want to wipe the drool off the desk, Jamie," she said sarcastically.

"Some friend you are, you could have woken me up before she slapped her ruler again. My ears are still ringing." She knew I was only half way kidding.

"And by the way, you snore."

"I do not," I said trying to defend myself.

She imitated an obnoxious old man snore and gave me a look that said "that was you."

"Oh, bite me."

"Where and how hard?"

"My foot as I shove it down your throat." This little banter happens often enough the saying the whole thing isn't really necessary, we could just make the faces that go along with them.

"But she's right, you do snore," Wally piped up from the other table.

"Shut up, Mouth," we said in unison.

"But it's true, you do," he insisted.

"Could you take your soulless self to someone else's conversation?" I said making a shoeing motion with my hand.

"Why don't you guys like me?" he asked pouting.

"Well let's see here; you mock the sport that we love—" Jade said.

"That was a—" Wally tried to interrupt but Jade just kept going.

"You can't keep your pasty freckled nose out of our business-"

"I was just trying to—"

"You eat freaken everything—"

"I'm hungry—"

"I keep interrupting you for a reason, Wally, shut up. Now where was I?"

"You were saying that he eats everything," I informed her while standing next to the desk, suddenly feeling wide awake.

"Ah, yes. You are an insufferable know it all."

"I-"

"You don't take anything seriously and you sleep in class like all the time."

"Yeah," Jamie stated. Jade turned and looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

"You're not much better in that department," she pointed out and I sighed.

Wally continued staring at us, which we of course ignored. The bell rang and we headed off to our different classes. My mind kept wondering to the designs I had made last night. The one I decided on was a sleeveless black shirt, trimmed in red. The collar came up in the back then dropped down to meet in a point in the front. There was a thin red strip down the middle with three other stripes on either side that went up like a "V". The overall effect closely resembled the veins on a leaf. The bottom of the shirt kinda resembled coat tails that wrapped around to the front and met at the middle stripe. My mask was tricky to design since it had to cover the scars on my face as well as protect my identity. I made it so it was wide on the right side and narrowed down to the size of a normal mask on the left. There is a "S" with sharp angles across the front of the mask, dancing around the whited out eye holes. To hide the scars on my hands and arms I had black elbow length gloves. The pants were just simple black leggings for easy movement.

When I had decided to use the power I developed to help other people, I also decided that every animal I shifted into would we black. Like a trade mark type thing.

:3( )~~

When school finally got out and when guard practice was over, I dumped my back pack and equipment in my car and scanned the empty parking lot. It was a great day for a run. I ducked behind my car and changed into a big black fuzzy dog. I enjoyed being a dog. I didn't have to worry about problems I might be having or who was staring at my scars. I could just roam around and enjoy myself. I started heading down the street that my school was on and saw a yellow blur that I assumed to be Kid Flash. He stopped on the street corner up ahead and scanned the area around him. When he saw me loping towards him he pulled off his goggles and grinned.

"Hey, pooch. Where's your home?" he asked assuming I was a stray dog. I'd have to remember a collar or something next time so people didn't try to take me home. He held his hand out for me to smell. Knowing that I had to keep up the whole dog thing, I sniffed his hand and licked it. Taking this as a sign of acceptance he used his other hand to scratch me behind my ear.

"You sure are cute, pup. Do you know and tricks?" he asked.

I don't know what is with people and asking animals questions (not saying that I don't but I still don't know why I do), it's not like they can answer back.

"Sit," he commanded.

I sat. He reached down to pet me again and when he did I jumped up and licked his face, just to see what his reaction would be. It was well worth it. He jumped backward and made a big production of wiping the dog spit off his face.

"What was that for you mangy mutt?" he asked, and then stopped, thinking.

I realized what he was thinking and ran off and hid.

"Mutt… Shift, was that you?"

It's a good thing that he still had patrolling to do; because there was no way I could have out run him.

I went back to my car and drove home where I proceeded to catch up on my sleep.
