Chapter 7

Disclaimer: question: do I own some of young justice's characters?

Answer: no, I sadly do not.

Last chapter:

"ughhh….. Where am I?" Artemis opened one eye lazily because she was starting to get uncomfortable from lying on the ground and her hands shackled together. WAIT! Back up there! Her hands shackled together? No that's not uncommon at all. Her eyes popped open.

''hello?"

"Hello artemis… miss your father much?"

"Dad? What… what are you doing here? No wait. What am I doing here?"

"Oh my sweet, innocent little child…. We're going to train."

"Train?..."

"Yes artemis."

5 hours later

Artemis stood in front of her father panting, sweating, and bleeding more than a normal child should be.

"You did not do well, artemis. You need to practice more."

"But…. Dad….. I only missed…"

"ARTEMIS! Do NOT contradict me. You failed today. Tomorrow, you are going to wake up at the crack of dawn, 4:00."

And that's how Artemis lived for the rest of her childhood.

Wally-

"Wally, get up! It's your first day of school!"

"moooommm….. It's only 7:30 in the morning!" said a 15 year old Wally.

Ahh… thought his mom, still the same Wally…. She smiled. Then she remembered the time. She frowned, and then yelled at Wally, telling him to get up or else no computer after school.

Artemis….

"Artemis! Get up! You'll be late for school!"

Artemis sprung out of the covers and quickly got dressed for school. She grabbed her messenger bag, an apple and ran out the door.

"Bye mom!"

Wally…

"Wally, school starts in 5 minutes!"
"ahhh….mom….. No problem for me! I can be there in 40 seconds flat, by just jogging!"

"Then you need to hurry!"

"Fine fine….." Wally grumbled as he grabbed his backpack and a bowl of cereal.

"WALLY! YOU'RE BRINGING CEREAL ON YOUR RUN TO SCHOOL?"
"BYE MOM!"
Wally yelled behind his back as he jogged to his school, holding the cereal bowl in his hands.

$#$#$#$#$##$

Artemis ran to her school as fast as she could.

"Almost….. There!" she panted.

Suddenly she crashed into someone.

"AHHHHH!" "OWWW!"

Apparently that someone she crashed into was carrying something like a drink, and so, when they crashed, it spilled all over her clothes. Then she heard a crash behind her as something broke. She turned around to see something that looked like cereal and porcelain shards littered around on the ground, and some on her books.

"Stupid people… now my clothes are wet! And so are my books!"

"sorry…." Said a sheepish voice behind her. "I should have been watching where I was going."

She turned around angrily to see a boy, about her age, with red hair and green eyes.

"yeah…. You should have! Now I have to go all the way back to my house, change, and somehow dry my books! I can't get another late slip!" (in my school, a late slip means A. you got late to school, or B. you turned an assignment late)

Wally

"Stupid people… now my clothes are wet! And so are my books!" wally heard a girls voice somewhere around him exclaim angrily.

"sorry…." He said, sheepishly, "I should have been watching where I was going."

She turned around and wally's eyes came into focus. He saw she had long blonde hair, tan skin and slanted eyes.

"yeah…. You should have! Now I have to go all the way back to my house, change, and somehow dry my books! I can't get another late slip!" his eyes wandered over her as he saw that her clothes were super soaked, as if someone had dumped a bowl of cereal on her (which, he in fact did).

"hey! It's not all my fault! You also ran into me!"

" yeah, but if you watched out, this wouldn't have happened!" she exclaimed angrily as she bent down to pick up her books.

"here, let me help you." He said, pitying her. Besides, she wasn't too ugly. Why not stay and helpa pretty lady?

"thanks." She said gruffly.

"so….. let's start over. Hi, I'm wally!"

"hi, I'm none of your business." She said as she smiled fake sweetly. "well, I have all my soaked books, thanks to you, so I'm going to go before I get any later. Thank you, and bye." Then she started walking off.

"wait! Let me help you carry your books to your house. Then maybe I can dry them for you!" he said.

She pretended to think about it. "hmmmm…. Lets see….have a possible stalker follow me, or just go home by myself? I think….. I can go by myself. Bye." She said with an air of finality.

Wally still followed her.

She suddenly stopped. "why are you still stalking me? Didn't I already tell you I'm fine?"

"well, yeah, but I feel bad about ruining everything. So I decided I'm going to help you. Whether you like it or not."

She looked at him as if studying him, then "accidentally" dropped one of her many books on the ground. "could you pass me that?" she said.

"sure." He bent down to pick it up. When he stood back up to give it to her, she was a dot in the distance.

"two can play at that game." He said grinning. He ran after her, and in 5 milliseconds, he reached "her". "her" was actually an elderly lady with a stroller.

"dang it!"

"what?" the lady said. " you are a very disrespectful young man, and lena doesn't like you." She said. Then she whacked him with her cane.

"OWWW!"

Wally ran away from the crazy old lady, to his school still clutching the note book.
