"Ruby!" Dick called to me as I walked to class. "Hey." I greeted back, a blush on my cheeks. Every time I looked at him I remember his kiss. No one really knew we were "dating", not even Barbra knew. But I could tell they were suspecting something with us."Hey, do you have your lines memorized yet?" I asked him, nudging closer to him. "Sort of." He said, shrugging. I laughed. "Hey, don't laugh. It's hard keeping up with a girl who's fluent in Japanese, French, and Spanish." It was true. While at Catmus they'd taught me many things. Multiple languages included."And a girl who has also memorized every line of her script?" I poked him in the arm. Dick gripped his arm. "Ow, that hurt." He said with a laugh."Good, that'll teach you to forget to do your homework. I mean the presentation is next week, Dick." We enter the classroom and sat in our seats. "I'm starting to get the feeling that you just want me to come over, but you have no better excuse to get me to come over."


"As true as that may be, I do need help with our scene. Maybe after school you could come over?" There was a light blush on his face when he said this. I smiled at him, blushing myself. "Sure. I'll ask my mom at lunch." That's when the teacher walked in and we began class.

"Here you go." I said, handing Dick the bento I made him. I'd told him I'd spent a summer in Japan, but of course that was I lie. I'd just been implanted with images and knowledge about the towns, cities and customs. Same with France and Spain. Dick opened up the box and started eating. I sighed as I looked at our surroundings. Dick had found an outside bench where we've always always ate. It was alone and secluded, it made you feel almost dangerous and thrilling to be out here with a boy. I smiled at him before I took out my phone and called my mom."Hey mom." I said. Mom's sleepy voice answered me with, "Hun, aren't you at school? Why are you calling?" I fiddled with the hem of my skirt as I answered her. "Well, Dick and I have a project due soon and he'd like me to come over." I could hear her sigh. "I'll say yes, but only because Harley's still here and I don't want you two seeing each other." I nodded. "Thanks mom." I shut my phone and leaned over to put it away. "I got the okay from my-" I turned only to be kissed. I froze, my face was growing hot, and when Dick pulled away, I was in such a state of shock that words wouldn't even fall out of my mouth. I touched me lips and finally got out a sentence. "Wha-what was that for?" I asked shyly."I don't know. It's just cute seeing you be so un-welmed." Dick said with a laugh. "Well, that wasn't cute of you. It was totally not aster." I said taunting him with his use of prefixes, or lack thereof. That's when the bell rang. "Well, I'll see ya in theater!" I said, before grabbing my things, kissing his cheek, and skipping off to my next class.

"Always nice to see you Miss Ruby." Alfred greeted as I got into Dick's limo that had picked us up. "Likewise Sir Pennyworth." I said, buckling my seatbelt. "Home Alfred, please." Dick said, leaning back in his seat. He started asking Alfred please alot more ever since we started.... dating. That word is still so foreign to me."Does this mean I'll have to tell Mister West that you will not be joining him tonight?" Alfred asked as we started down the road. Dick slapped his forehead. "Man, I totally forgot. Yes, Al, tell him I'll be late."


"Oh, if you have to be somewhere else, you can just-" I started, but Dick cut me off."No, I want to spend time with you." Dick declared, making me blush and look away. I glanced over at him, he was blushing too. "Oh, should I pull up the shade Master Dick?" Alfred said with a laugh. We stayed silent and Alfred shrugged. There was a buzz from the front of the car. Alfred picked up a black phone that was attached to the car. "Yes Master Bruce?" Alfred answer. "I see, alright. One moment please." Alfred pushed a button and Dick picked up the phone next to him.


"What is it Bruce?" Dick asked. I tilted my head to sharpen my hearing. "Is that girl with you?" Bruce asked back. That girl? Really, does he not remember that I have a name? "Um, yeah, why?" Dick glanced at me. "When she gets here don't let her near you know where." Dick nodded and hung up. "Sorry, Bruce just wanted to update me on my grades." I smiled at him. "Oh sure, I understand. My mom's the same way." I lied.
