Gotham High: Story Of The Dark Siders

7

A CHALLENGER APPEARS!

Slade Wilson, the coach, walked down the hall silently as all the kids got out his way. He had that look. That just any look. The look. Meaning someone has sadly disappointed him. Or something of that manner.

Roman Sionis sighed deeply as he watched Couch Wilson walk into the Principal Sharp's office. This was gonna be a long day.

"Julian", Julian Day jumped lightly as he heard his voice being called. Julian was in Couch Wilson's office making sure everything was in order for the Thanksgiving Parade later that month.

"Yes", Julian looked up at Roman and Waylon.

"I've heard Harleen Quinzel is single. Is it true?", Waylon asked.

"Why?"

"'Cause Roman here wanted to ask her out", Waylon explained pointing to Roman.

"But, she's a sophomore".

"And she was dating Jack Niper. Which one is more bad", Roman glared. This is way he only liked talking to seniors.

"Well, why are you asking me?"

"Because you're more friendly with Edward who is Harleen's best guy friend and he's the only one, besides Pamela, who could get Harleen to date Roman".

"So why didn't you just ask Edward?", Roman and Waylon gave a look.

"He's been getting some balls lately", Roman answered. "We didn't think he'd be willing to do it if we tried to threaten him". Julian sighed.

"I guess I could ask".

"Thanks, Julian. Also, what's wrong with Wilson?"

"Something about Harvey. I didn't really care enough to ask".

"You can stop staring my friend", Bane said to Victor. Victor turned his head to glare at him before turning his head back. At the front of class was Nora Fields. Just to look at her was enough for him to have a good day. Unless some asshole was trying to bother him. Like this bro Bane. "I mean, I heard about what you did during Halloween".

"I hate you all", Victor sighed. "How did you-".

"Jake".

"Damn it!", The classroom looked up at him in shock. Victor sighed in frustration.

"My friends just a little tired sir", Bane said to Professor Strange who just gave them both a stern look. The class turned back to the lesson as Victor laid his head on the table. "You ok there?"

"Shut up Bane. Just shut up".

"Harley", Harley looked up at her good friend Edward. Selina wanted to apologize to Harley but Harley had said she didn't care anymore because it was her own fault. But Harley still wanted to stay behind the bleachers so her she was. How the hell did Edward find her? "How are you feeling?"

"Better, but I'm still mad at myself", She replied as Edward sat on the ground next to her.

"Well, I wanted to ask you something".

"Sure", Edward beamed. Ok, no pressure.

"I wanted to know if you would go-".

"Harley!", Pamela ran straight towards Harley with a huge smile on her face. Harley looked up at her as she got closer while Edward sighed. "I just heard the greatest news in the world!", She said jumping up and down. "I was on my way to see Julian, you know Julian Day, about the parade when I overheard that Roman Sionis wanted to ask you out!"

"What?", Harley said standing up. "He did?", Edward jumped up as well. Roman was a senior what the hell was he doing want to ask Harley out?

"Come on. Let's go find him. Oh, hey Eddie", Pamela said before grabbing Harley and waving goodbye to the boy. Leaving poor Edward Nigma confused and heart broken.

"Love sucks huh?", Edward looked to his left and saw Victor (Fries). "Never really get the girl huh?"

"People like you should get them Victor", Edward said sitting back down.

"I do. I just can't get the girl I want", Victor defended sitting down next to Edward.

"Who? That Nora Fields girl? Why don't you just ask her out?"

"I tried. Halloween. Harley tried to help. Even Jake. Made a fool of myself".

The teens sighed. Love sucked. True story.

"FIRE!", Someone yelled running down the hall. "FIRE!" Professor Strange walked out his class and looked down the hall to see one of the science classes burning smoke and fire.

"Damn it", Strange sighed grabbing a hose. "Mr. Dent", Strange said turning to Harvey who was just passing by. "Would you please help me", Harvey nodded going to the wheel as Strange walked to the room. "Damn sophomores".

"You just missed her. Pamela already knows". Julian sighed happily. It didn't have to get involved with this high school drama. Yes!

"Here!", Jervis said pushed the bag into Jake's hands. "It's the stupid mask".

"I thought-?"

"Well I work fast when I'm agitated!", Jervis exclaimed. He just wanted to be paid and get out of there.

"What's wrong, pal? Girlfriend troubles?", Jervis looked over at Jake and shivered.

"How-?"

"When you see a pretty face with a crazy guy at a party, people get to talking", Jake smiled throwing the bag at Jonathan who Jake grabbed for back up. Even though he hated the guy at the moment.

"Well, sort of", Jervis said rubbing the back of his neck. Jake wrapped an arm around Jervis's shoulders and smiled.

"Well, tell me all about it. I'm a man of 'romance', ya see".

"Well, we kinda had a fight".

"About?"

"You, Harley, Jonathan, Victor, the other Victor. The gang in general", Jake looked at Jonathan who cringed before looking back at Jervis.

"Don't worry pal. I'll help you", Jake sighed stepping back. "Open it", Jonathan jumped before looking down at the bag and opened it. He gasped staring at the contents before lifting the mask up.

"It's-it's.."

"Yours", Jake smirked. Jervis stared wide eyed at him. Jonathan squealed.

"And Alfred will defiantly never let me live this down", Bruce stated to Clark through the phone.

"It if makes you feel better", Which it probably won't. "I wouldn't mind".

"Well, you're not Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth", Bruce sighed.

"You're right. So now what?"

"Well", Bruce hesitated. Maybe he shouldn't mention it. But Clark was his best friend after all. "I was thinking of...asking Harleen out"...

"Are you kidding me?"

"Well, I thought-".

"They just broke up, Bruce".

"I know I just-".

"At your house, Bruce".

"I know that, but-".

"Like, just last week Bruce".

"Clark!"

"...!"

"I know that! I just- (insert sigh here). I've liked Harleen since the beginning. I just thought this was my chance".

"Last. Week".

"Clark, will you let that go".

"Fine. Just-be careful. I don't trust that Jake guy".

"Nobody does, Clark. I don't even think Harleen did".
