Oh no, I going to miss the bus. All because Pamela asked me to pick up a some forms for her on the way out of school. The entrance to the football field had caught my attention. Wasn't it Eddie who said it cut through to the bus loop? Why was his annoying know it all voice so easy to drown out earlier. It was my only shot. I had almost made it to the bus loop when out of no where a football knocks the books out of my hand.

"Where you going chica?"

A low voice came behind me whom I could only assume was Diego. Calm down, don't give into his taunting Harleen, it'll only make things worse. Ignore him and just pick up your books then leave. Maybe they'll leave you alone, yeah right. Pamela had already informed me that Diego and the boys weren't happy about our run in this morning. The football player's began to circle me as I pretend not to notice.

"Blondie, he's speaking to you."

"Awe is the girl too scared without the kitty to protect her."

"Yeah where are your girls now bimbo."

Diego stepped on my journal, smushing it in the mud and making sure I couldn't pick it up. I take a deep breath, closing my eyes. No, I refuse to be this girl again. I refuse to be pushed down. Inside I was terrified as i stood up, maybe i could talk this out. Slipping the books into my bag I look up at the boys. Whoa they were alot bigger than i had prior imagined.

"Get off my journal."

"Look guys, the Barbie doll talks."

Diego kicks the notebook up into another football player's hands. Mud was dripping from the edges of my book. I hope none of the pages inside were affected.

"Leave me alone, I must get to the buses."

Every time I would reach out for my diary the player would move it higher and higher out of my reach. No fair, I wasn't nearly as tall as them. In attempts to jump higher my foot slipped backwards in the mud. Accidently the mud splatters up in the players eyes while I go flying the other way. Thanks to my gymnastics I was able to recover, landing on my feet. Diego tried to go after me but instead he collided with his friend, knocking my book out on to the ground. Could be my imagination but I swore I heard a deep laughter coming from behind the bleachers. Not that I was going to stick around to find out. Quickly swiping my book from behind the mud blinded players I sprint off to the bus loop.

"Get Her."

Diego's voice growls behind me as I run onto the bus, the doors closing seconds after my entrance. That was far too close. Besides the front cover of the journal, most pages seemed unaffected by the mud. My home was the final stop on the bus which gave me time to analyse people in my last few classes.

Matthew Hagen: (Art Class)

*Seems unsure who he really is.

*Artwork comes out 50 times better than mine, especially his clay vases.

*Treasure Hunter, loves scavenger hunts.

*Seems to disappear for long periods of time.

*Red's thinking about recruiting him to be team's mascot.

Harvey Dent:

*Hiding something! No one can be that perfected.

*good looking, honest, trustworthy

*Selina says him and Red have a history together. *Must find more about*

Barbara Gordon:

*Too Quiet, almost shyer than Johnny.

*Detective Gordon's daughter.

My thoughts drift off to that one kid, Jack Napier. He seemed to relaxed, so at ease with who he was. Not to mention his eyes, something about them just seemed so interesting, so promising. The bus comes to an abrupt halt, disrupting my thoughts.

I had arrived home just in time to see my computer screen flashed with a notification.

"A chat room?"

I ponder to myself, clicking on the link.

-Please create a username and password to enter below-

A username? I look around the room, catching a glimpse of one of my favorite books. Alice in Wonderland. The book itself is so intriguing, a girl lost in her imagination. A girl so desperate to leave her own painful reality, she created a whole universe centered around her. Hmmm, my fingers typed away quickly, eager to get on and see what this chat was about.

FearFactor: Pamela don't!

Lilaclover: hehe too late Jonathan, I already sent the request. Hey Harles.

Kittycat91: Hello Harley, prrrfect timing on your part. Isn't that right Johnny Boy?

Oh really? Why is that? :Queen_of_Hearts

-Fearfactor is typing-

Lilaclover: It's because Johnny was just telling us how much he loves... writing.

Writing? :Queen_of_Hearts

Kittycat91: YES! Johnny boy adores "Writing", how about you Harles. Don't you just loooooove it?

Well yes, it is one of my favorite courses. :Queen_of_Hearts

Lilaclover: Hear that Johnny? It's Harley's favorite course too. You too already have so much in common.

-FearFactor has left the Chatroom. -

Kittycat91: Awe he's no fun.

Lilaclover: Now that he's gone, how ever will Eddie spy on our little chat?

NerdyNygma:I was not spying!

KittyCat91: So you call looking over Johnny's shoulder while not involved in our conversation...

NerdyNygma:Observing! Not to mention I was already logged on.

Why did he leave? :Queen_of_Hearts

NerdyNygma:Because of them!

Lilaclover: Awe Eddie, we mean no harm.

KittyCat91:Yeah, Relax we weren't going to say anything.

Say what?! Can someone fill me in here?: Queen_of_Hearts

NerdyNygma: Just drop it.

KittyCat91: Fine but tell Johnny to come back in. I have an announcement.

-FearFactor has entered the Chatroom-

Lilaclover: Welcome Back. ;)

Hiya Johnny: Queen_of_Hearts

KittyCat91: Okay guys, enough chit chat. Here's the deal. I'm having a party Friday.

Eeeek! A party! :Queen_of_Hearts

NerdyNygma:I don't know we have less than a week until the science fair. It's rather soon and I should probably work on that.

KittyCat91: Awe come on Edward!

Lilaclover: Yeah Eddie, have fun for once in your life!

I don't know guys I'm kinda with Eddie on this one. :Queen_of_Hearts

KittyCat91:Please tell me you're not serious?

-Queen_of_Hearts is typing-

I frown a bit. Yes, I was serious. Academicly speaking, a party that day wasn't a smart idea. On the other hand being the boring geek girl of the Gotham wasn't an option. I needed to fit in. One party couldn't be that bad. I could just finish my project before then. Plus it'll help me meet more Gotham High students. Maybe I'll even see Jack.

Of course I'm not. Why would anyone want to be serious? What do you think I am, some kind of nerd? No offensive Eddie. Of course I'll be at your party:Queen_of_Hearts

Lilaclover: See I knew you were cool Harles. So how about you Johnny Appleseed? Can Sel assume you're coming now?

FearFactor: I don't know Pam. Ed is right about this, we have to work on our projects for the fair. Some of us can't get by on a winning smile.

Lilaclover: What are you implying?

NerdyNygma :Of course I'm right. John's implying that unlike you, Pamela, some of us have to rely on our brains instead of looks.

Guys I've got to go. See you in school tomorrow everyone. Bye :Queen_of_Hearts

-Queen_of_Hearts has left the Chatroom-

That chat was going south fast. I just had to leave before Pamela went at Johnny and Eddie's throat.

My first party! Eeek! I got invited to a real party! The excitement is real, I couldn't contains it. If only the kids in Metropolis could see me now. Part of me wanted to stay back, work on my science fair project which was still incomplete. Yet, II didn't want to be /that/ kid. The girl with no social life that hide away, writing 24/7.

Party Friday, Cheer tryouts Monday, Science Fair the following weekend.

That gave me plenty of time to work on it. Still I should probably think of a topic.

Ummm...

I'll come to me soon enough, for now I need my sleep.
