The team had no choice. They had to leave Cassie behind, for now. After much debate, they had decided on finishing the first day, then splitting up and looking for Cassie.
"Finally you're here!" Bart grinned, crossing his arms. "We've been waiting here for like, 10 hours!"
"10 minutes," Jaime smirked. "Not 10 hours."
"Well it felt like 10 hours!" Bart retorted.
"Ok, ok, enough of that," Karen smiled. "Let's just get in there, get out, and find Cassie."
"Sounds good." Jaime nodded.
The group walked into the school. They were in a long, wide hallway with pale green walls and blue lockers lining the outskirts of the hall. There was a large glass case to their right filled with trophies and pictures.
"This looks so... Boring." Gar mumbled.
"Well, we'll be here for a while, Gar," M'gann ruffled the younger boy's hair and smiled. "So try to get used to it, ok?"
"Fine." he huffed.
"Oh, you must be the new kids," a girl with long, straight platinum blonde hair walked towards the group. "Nice to meet you. I'm Jennifer."
"How come we can understand you? M'gann-" Gar started.
La'gaan elbowed him in the stomach. "What he was saying was that you don't seem to be Japanese."
"Oh, ok..." the girl gave the two boys a weird look. "So, what're your names?"
"I'm Garfield, that's Logan." Gar said.
Now, by this point La'gaan felt very uncomfortable. Not only was he wearing an unearthly amount of makeup and costume pieces to make himself look human, but Garfield had almost blown their cover. Big time.
"Haha! Nice to meet you Garfield, Logan!" Jennifer laughed. "I can see you enjoy hitting each other?"
"They do. Loads." Dick joked.
"Oh! What's your name?" Jennifer purred.
"My name's Dick. Dick Grayson." he replied.
"Cute!" Jennifer smiled.
"Haha yeah, real cute," Zatanna cut in. "And taken."
"'What, can't friends kiss?'" Jaime quoted. "I thought you two were through. Just uncomfortably intimate."
"Yeah, ahem... Ha. Ha. Ha. Just friends... Go ahead." Zatanna stepped back.
The rest of the group eyed her weirdly. Had she ever acted so strange before?
"Just go ahead! Have three babies! Maybe you can name them Bitch, Slut and Hoe!" Zatanna fake-smiled, but everyone close enough could see her eye twitching.
"Um... Is she always like this?" Jennifer asked Dick.
"Not usually... We just had an accident today, and her fragile mental state couldn't take the trauma." Dick lied.
"What kind of accident?" Jennifer pryed, advancing towards him.
"Car accident, lost four ducks and a hovercraft full of eels!" Dick backed away.
"Can't you tell me?" the blonde asked, backing Dick right up against the wall.
"Didn't I just tell you?" Dick said. "Zee sure loves her aquatic animals..."
Everbody facepalmed.
Shouldn't he be better at lying...? Bart questioned.
Way better... Barbara agreed. He's a goddamned wreck.
Jennifer cast a glance at Bart and Barbara, then turned her attention back to Dick.
"I know you're smarter than this," she reached her hand up to stroke the side of his face. "So go ahead, try and give me an intelligent lie."
"AGH! EBOLA!" Zatanna ran over and whacked Jennifer's hand away. "You have Ebola, so get the hell away from Dick."
"Ebola?" Jennifer raised an eyebrow. "Well, I'm not here to get into your personal business. The bell's gonna ring soon, we should get to class. Follow me!"
