Don't own YJ... so sad...

Kaldur meets Wally

It took Kaldur 10 minutes to find his classroom. By the time he got there kids were already sitting in pairs at desks, discussing things that Kaldur knew had nothing to do with the advanced diagram drawing of what happens when protons exchange charge in a liquid.

"Ah, you must be Kaldur." said Mrs. Martan, the elderly science teacher with enormous glasses. "There is a free spot at the back. Mr. West, would you be so kind as to explain to our new student about todays lesson?"

An orange haired, freckled boy stood up and smiled, "No problem, Mrs. M."

Kaldur sat down and 'Mr. West' held out his hand.

"Hi. Name's Wally."

Kaldur took Wallys hand and shook it.

"My name is Kaldur'ahm, but most people call me Kaldur."

"Kaldur'ahm? Sweet name dude. What is it, like, European or something? Anyways welcome to grade 11 science 101! Feel free to zone out at any time. Mrs. Martan's as blind as a bat."

"Noted."

"So did you just transfer here? I've never seen your face before."

"Yes," Kaldur answered. "Before today I was homeschooled by my uncle." It wasn't a total lie. That was the cover story Kaldur and his mentor, King Orin of Atlantis mind you, had come up with. Technically the homeschooled part was true since his King had taught him many things. "But he thought it would be best if I were to spend my youth around others my age." Everyone else in the palace was either older or younger than him.

"So you moved to Gotham? Dude, I feel for ya man."

"What do you mean? What is wrong with Gotham?"

"Geez, you must have been homeschooled. Gotham's one of the worst cities in the country. Sure some parts of it are fine, but it's mostly known for housing some super rich dudes and is a hot spot for criminals, gangs, drugs. Bad guys. Not exactly Centeral City if you know what I mean."

"I do not live in Gotham. My uncle only sends me here for school after I was offered a scholarship."

"Aw sweet! Same here dude! I'm on a second year science scholarship but I'm originally from Centeral. Pretty cool, huh? So welcome to your first day in hell. Meet any cute girls yet?"

"So far I have only met two people. You and Megan Mores." Kaldur said uncomfortably.

"You met Megan? Good for you dude. She's awesome, not to mention a total babe."

"Yes she was very nice. I believe she is my student guide and asked me to have lunch with her and some of her friends."

"That's awesome. Me and Conner go way back and we both have gym together. He's cool in a doesn't-talk-very-much kind of way."

Kaldur raised an eyebrow, "Who is Conner?"

"He's Megans boyfriend. They're really close and he's kind of the jealous type. Conner's also on the football team but he's cool."

Kaldur wanted to ask Wally what he meant by that when Mrs. Martan began handing out papers and asking if anyone know anything about electircity from last year.

"Hey Kaldur," Wally whispered. "I'm glad we got to meet each other. Want to hang out later?"

Kaldur smiled, liking the thought of amking two friends in less than thirty minutes. "Sure. Why not."
