The place was filled with smoke and flames. A little 6 year old girl was trying to move without getting hurt by debris. Wheezing, coughing, and screams of pain were in the house, but none of them were from the girl. She was busy trying to find someone through the fire.
"Mommy! Mommy! MOMMY!" The little girl was panicking. She didn't know what to do. She wanted her mom to comfort and help her. Her clothes has already been mostly ripped and burned. As she was running and dodging, she saw a glimpse of black hair. "Mommy!" The girl ran to the mob of black hair and saw her mother on the ground, coughing and wheezing, soot, cuts and burns all over her body. The little girl fell to the floor crying beside her mom.
"Go." It was barely a whisper, but the girl heard it. She looked at her mother with a look of pure fear, horror, and sadness.
"I won't leave you mommy." She said with amazing strength in her voice considering all the emotions running through her. Her mother shook her head.
"You have to go. Now!" The little girl's mother gathered all her strength, sat up and pushed her daughter away as some parts of the roof collapsed on the space where the mother was and where the daughter had just been.
"No! Mommy!" The little girl tried to run and get out the house, but had no such luck. A wooden support beam on the ceiling fell on her head and knocked her down, followed by several big chunks of debris from the roof. The girl vision went black, but not before hearing the alarm of a fire truck. The alarm suddenly started to change into a different sound. It kind of sounded like her alarm clo–
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Alexis woke up to the sound that is hated with a passion worldwide by everyone who has to wake up at an early time. This time, she was actually glad for once that it woke her up. Getting up, she went to take a shower and wash off her nightmare. Finishing up her shower, she went to put on her Gotham Academy uniform. Finishing the uniform off with its signature tie, Alexis quietly crept downstairs. She sighed in relief when she saw her dad passed out on the couch with empty beer bottles all around him. At least he's not drunk and awake. I already had a bad start this morning. She grabbed her glasses, put it on, and put her hair in a ponytail. Making sure she had her wallet, she took her backpack and made sure she had her star-shaped locket around her neck. Alexis left her house and locked the door.
She went to a cafe on her way there. It was by far her most favourite place called 'Sweet Groove'. The music that played there always brings her mood up. Plus it had the best drinks and second best cookies (Alfred's cookies are the first). Alexis looked at her watch. 2 hours 'till school starts. Did I really wake up that early? Shrugging, Alexis went to order her usual: a cup of hot chocolate with 7 spoons of sugar (What? A girl likes her sweets!) and a giant white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. She sat at a table with her food. Suddenly a song came on that made nearly everyone in the cafe smile, including Alexis.
Life is a song meant to be sung
And dreams are the words that tickle your tongue
Alexis started singing and swaying her head, all previous negative thoughts and memories forgotten.
No time to lose, singing the blues
Stuck in a memory
You get you give, so let yourself live
And be what you're meant to be
Other people in the shop joined in, including the worker that was Alexis' friend, Jennifer, who was making drinks at the moment.
Alright! Everything's gonna be so bright!
Welcome to your destiny!
Believe in yourself
The answers will come
Alright! Everything's gonna be so right!
Life is but a melody
Heaven knows, heaven knows
You waited so long
Soon you'll be singing your song
By now, everybody in the shop was singing along, enjoying the feeling of happiness the song creates for everyone who listens to it.
Don't be afraid just jump right in
Sometimes you lose sometimes you win
Alexis stood up and started swaying her whole body calmly, making small movements to the song.
You make your mistakes, that's what it takes
For you to find your way
Trust in yourself, nobody else
Knows what you want to say
At some point, someone started clapping to the beat, creating a chain reaction making everybody clap in unison.
Alright! Everything's gonna be so bright!
Welcome to your destiny!
Believe in yourself
The answers will come
Alright! Everything's gonna be so right!
Life is but a melody
Heaven knows, heaven knows
You waited so long
Soon you'll be singing your song
Alexis' smile grew wider as her favourite part came.
Ohhh
This is your destiny
Ohhh
Be what you're meant to be
Ohhh
Keep your convictions strong
Ohhh
This is your song
Alright! Everything's gonna be so bright!
Welcome to your destiny!
Believe in yourself
The answers will come
Alright! Everything's gonna be so right!
Life is but a melody
Heaven knows, heaven knows
You waited so long
Soon you'll be singing your song
The voices started going softer as the song came to a close.

Everybody cheered and clapped at the end, but there was an awkward silence after the cheers died down. Alexis then had a thought and decided to voice it.
"We just had a Glee moment."
"…"
Laughter followed the silence that had just been there. There was no more awkwardness in the room as everybody went back to what they were previously doing. Alexis finished her breakfast, threw away her garbage and grabbed her backpack. She walked outside and checked the time. 1 hour left. I should probably get going. A familiar and unpleasant voice caught her attention.
"Need a ride?"
10 minutes earlier with Dick…
Dick was walking down the street. He wanted to go walk and told Alfred to pick him up from a cafe called 'Sweet Groove' so he could drop him off at school. Alex told him that it was an awesome place. He stopped walking when he caught sight of the place, or more like what was happening inside the cafe.
He saw Alex standing on a table, singing along with the rest of the costumers who were standing on the ground and clapping to the beat. Dick let a smile come to his face. This was the happiest he has saw her been all week. Even he started swaying to the beat of the song and sang along quietly to the last part of the song.

Dick saw how everybody was silent, having no idea how to get rid of the awkwardness in the room. He was going to walk in and end it, but he saw that Alex said something and broke the tension. He doesn't know what she said, but it must've been funny. As she finished eating and walked out, Dick was going to talk to her, but he saw a familiar, sleek, dark blue sports car pull up. Derek. One of the big people in Gotham Academy that thinks they have control over all the students. He thinks he can say who's cool and who's lame. He also thinks he can get any girl he wants and have her wrapped around his finger.
"Need a ride?" The brunette said. He was wearing his signature varsity jacket. Alexis wrinkled her nose. She really didn't like these kinds of people. By these kinds of people, she means the overconfident, selfish and rude people. Dick was a little bit too happy when he saw the disgusted look on Alex's face. He was hiding behind the corner of the place watching what happened.
"No. I can get there myself." Alexis said. All she wanted to do was leave right then and there. The song put her in a good mood and she wasn't going to be put down by some fake idiot. It seemed that Derek wouldn't take no for an answer because when she tried to turn and leave, he blocked her path.
"I think you misunderstood. I mean you can get a ride in my car, but we wouldn't be able to go until we're done some business." He put on a seductive smile. Too bad for him, Alexis doesn't fall for that. She glared at him and pushed him away. If anyone was looking at Dick right now, they would see a giant grin on his face.
"I said no." She tried to walk away but Derek was getting aggravated. He grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall. If anyone was paying attention they would've seen a brief flash of red in her eyes before going back to their brown color. Dick was seething. No. One. Touches. His. Friends.
"Look, I don't know what's wrong with you, but no one says no to me. So you're going to listen to me and listen good. We are–"
"We are what?" Dick said walking up to them. Derek looked behind him and loosened his grip, allowing Alex to slip away from him and give a thankful look to Dick. Derek glared at him.
"What are you doing here, freak?"
"I'm here to pick up a friend. Speaking of which, we should be going now." He gestured to Alex who was now standing beside him. Alfred's car pulled up at just that moment. Alex went into the back, and Dick went inside the car after giving one last glare to Derek.
"Hello Master Richard. Hello Miss Jones." Alfred greeted them.
"Hi Alfred." The two chorused. After a while of comfortable silence, Alex broke it.
"Thanks." She said to Dick, looking down at her lap, a light blush appearing on her skin. He smiled at her.
"Welcome." They started talking about random things like homework, food, and a bunch of other stuff. They ended up talking about the cafe.
"Hey, did you check out the cafe I told you about, Sweet Groove?" Alex asked him. He gave a little smirk.
"I was about to today, but I was greeted by a strange sight." He looked at her. Alex could feel her face grow cooler because of the blush growing on her face.
"W-what did you see?" She stuttered, her face looking at her lap.
"Well, I saw a certain friend of mind singing and dancing on a table…" Her blush was now as red as her hair when she's Phoenix. "...Without me!" She turned to him and laughed.
"I probably sound like a dying squirrel." She said thinking about the moment. He looked her in the eye.
"Hey, you sound beautiful." He told her. He couldn't help but look into her amazing brown eyes. "Your eyes are too." He whispered quietly.
"What?" Alex asked him. She didn't hear the last part. Dick coughed.
"I said that your voice sounds beautiful." He said, a soft blush covering his cheeks. Alfred internally smirked. He heard what he said, thanks to his specialized hearing aid. Alfred had a feeling that these two had a 'special' connection.
"We are here." Alfred told them, pulling up in front of the school.
"Bye Alfred." The two said.
"Goodbye Master Richard and Miss Jones." Alfred said and drove away.
"Now we go to the prison-like cell that is a danger to kids everywhere…" Alex said. Dick finished off for her.
"School."
That's chapter 2! Please review, or else I'll be sad and I have a tendency to be self-conscious a lot, and having no reviews wouldn't help me get over that. So I hope you enjoyed this. By the way, I'll TRY to post it up every Friday or Saturday. Remember to write your thoughts in the reviews. BYE!
