After trailing down endless corridors we came to my room. Bruce opened the door for me and stood in the door way. 'I will let you get settled, if you need anything we all would be happy to help you out, Alfred will ring the bell when your dinner is ready.' I just nodded and continued looking around the room. 'It won't be that bad here Tessa, your stuff has already arrived and been put away, training will start tomorrow so you can rest.' I didn't respond and gave up and left the room.
Do the rooms really need to be this big? It was as big as the hallway and a lot fancier. A large double oak bed sat in the middle of the room with a smaller replica of the chandelier from downstairs hanging over it. A four door double wardrobe in one corner, a dressing table with a mirror opposite and a table opposite the end of the bed, all matching, filled the room. A large black TV hung on the wall above the table, I've heard about those, there used for entertainment.
I went across to the dressing table and looked in the mirror, my one sided white dress and brown belt around my waist, still perfect as if I had not just flown thousands of miles. My chocolate brown hair still in its neat high ponytail, my side fringe still styled straight and behind my ear only covering a bit of my blue eye. My eyes, the only evidence that I had travelled by air, they were dull and dark clearly showing how tired and fed up I was.
The table under the TV had a small black stereo on it, I know what this is Diana brought me one back not long ago. I searched the room for my CDs and put one on. I turned it up until I couldn't hear my thoughts anymore and let myself go with the music, dancing and singing as I tried to figure out where everything had been put.
'YOU LOOK SO PERFECT STANDING THERE IN MY AMERICAN APPAREL UNDERWEAR...' Singing at the top of my voice I stopped but carried on dancing, I hate that feeling of being watched. I spun around grabbed the figure and slammed them into the wall next to the door.
'Hey, hey, easy!' The guy said holding his hands up in surrender. 'We just wanted to say hi!' I turned to the door way to find two more boys standing there. I looked back at the one I still had up against the wall, my arm across his throat. His blue eyes bright and child like, his short messy black hair fell over his left eye. I stepped back and was shocked, he was extremely muscular and at least a whole head taller than me.
'Has anyone ever told you it's rude to watch people?' I said crossing my arms. The shortest of the boys spoke next, he too had his arms crossed and attitude covered his face like a scowling mask. 'These two got excited about a new girl coming, clearly because they are incapable of understanding a girl is nothing special.' The tallest one laughed and slapped a hand down on his shoulder, I noticed they all had the same short black hair and blue eyes.
The short one turned away and strode off down the corridor and I looked between the two boys confused. 'Don't worry about Damian, he's just got a constant attitude problem, I'm Tim by the way.' This one had the shortest black hair and was the thinnest. I turned the tallest one 'And you are?' He smirked a one sided grin at me as he took my hand and kissed the back 'I'm Dick, pleased to meet you.'
I dropped my hand and stepped back, knowing that gesture brought colour to my cheeks made me feel uncomfortable. 'I'm Tessa, will you two be joining me for dinner?' 'YES!' They said in sync, and then they both raced down making me run after them. Boys are strange creatures.
When we got into the kitchen Damian was already there eating, he looked up briefly when we entered then continued eating. 'Father will not be joining us for dinner today, he has a meeting to attend, Pennyworth, some more water please.'
Dick coughed awkwardly then sat next to me. 'So, how old are you Tessa?' I looked up to see him smirking at me again. 'I'm 18 years old.' I said as politely as I could, talking to boys is difficult anyway but this one makes me blush and I don't like it.
Damian put his fork down and crossed his arms. 'Father told me about you needing training, I don't train with amateurs.' I narrow my eyes at him making Dick cough awkwardly again 'You can train with me then Tess cause Tim is leaving to go back to the Titans tomorrow.' I laughed and looked at him. 'A pretty boy like you can fight?' He dropped his fork and put a hand over his heart in mock hurt. 'I can actually, I am Nightwing!' All I could do was laugh in disbelief, maybe it's not going to be so bad here.
We finished our dinner and Tim and Damian left, I took my plate to the sink to wash it. 'You know Alfred will be mad if he finds out your doing that.' Dick said leaning his back against the counter top and crossing his arms, making his muscles bulge out of the sleeves of his black t-shirt. 'It seems like Alfred has enough to do, I can wash my own pots.' I dried the plate and put it back in a cupboard.
We walked back to my room together and Dick stopped outside my door blocking my entrance. I looked up to see his crystal blue eyes staring at me, he cocked his head to the side and grinned. 'So, you think I'm pretty?' I stared at him in disbelief. I snorted and shrugged and then pushed passed him. I shut the door behind me and stared at the closed door, blood rushed into my cheeks burning them.
Dick opened the door and laughed. 'So, what are you going to do now?' He said sitting down on the end of my bed. 'Well, I was going to get changed and then have a look around.' I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled out some black leather bottoms and my red top with dark blue long sleeves. I turn back round to face Dick to see him watching me.
'Well?' I throw my clothes down onto the bed then stand next to the door. Dick cocked his head to the side causing his to hair to fall away from his face, exposing his crystal blue childlike eyes. 'Well what?' I sighed and opened the door 'I want to change.' Dick grinned and laid back with his hands behind his head smirking. 'That's okay, I will wait for you.'
Slowly and quietly I walked to the end of the bed and stood in front of his legs. I picked his legs up by the ankles, making him lift his head up. I grinned at the confused look on his face and pulled him off the bed onto the floor. 'HEY!' Dick shouted, laughing I dragged him out of the room into the corridor. 'You can wait here, pretty boy.' I shut the door on him while he was still sitting on the floor looking stunned. I laughed to myself and he shouted through the door. 'I knew it, you do think I'm pretty!'
