Today was my first day at Gotham Academy. I was nervous of course, the school was filled with prissy rich kids and I wasn't rich. Maybe slightly prissy but you know.

I set out Snowball's food and changed into my uniform. The skirt was adorable so I had no problem with it. The colors weren't really all that good but it was whatever. I pulled my phone out of the charger and picked up my backpack and touched up my mascara.

Vee was at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee looking like a zombie. Her new schedule messed her up real bad I guess. I sat at the table and ate a good two plates of breakfast.

Alfred called us to get in the car and I followed behind Damian, Cass, and Duke. Duke and Cass were seniors and me and Damian were freshman which made this even more delightful! I hope you could sense my sarcasm.

I kind of hung around Damian all day which he did mind as far as I saw. During lunch I picked at my food after messing up two slices of extra large cheese pizza with the ranch.

I went outside to get some air since I had been cooped up all day. I was walking while staring at my phone when I heard some yelling, I wouldn't even call it yelling it was more or so an aggressive talking voice with a loud undertone.

I hid behind a tree and peaked out to see Damian and the soccer team. What the hell was going on there? I continued hiding till I heard them talking about his art.

Personally, I've been bullied for years and it hurts to see someone else treated like that. Especially someone who saved me the way Damian did.

I was standing behind him now looking up and giving the whole team dirty looks. "Do you guys have a problem with my friend?" They chuckled which made me even more upset then I was 20 seconds ago.

"And if we do?" One of them muttered

"We'll just see now won't we?" I reached down to grab Damian's hand.

"So do you have a problem with Damian?"

"Yeah, he's stuck up, and prissy, and his art sucks. Can't even say more about him." The bimbo looking dude fist bumped his friend and all I could think about was "is this high school musical?"

"That sentence was grammatically incorrect" I did a nerd voice as I pointed out his wrong doings "actually! It's stuck up, prissy, and his art sucks! There's no and before prissy because it's not the last example in your sentence."

The guys looked peeved but backed up. I thought it was over but before I knew it they had grabbed Damian and started kicking him around.

For a kid who was trained by assassins you'd think a lowlife soccer team wouldn't be his biggest issue.

Damian punched one of the guys back which pushed him back onto his butt. He started making his way through the guys knocking them out one by one.

They started trying to fight him all at once like some sort of 8 v 1 which Damian was having no trouble holding up but he definitely wasn't winning either.

One of them grabbed me by my bag strap and tried getting me to fight with them which I wasn't messing with at all. I turned around at full speed and punched the fuck out of him bcs WHATT?

At one point I was knocked over the head with something and I felt the back of my head. I pulled my arm back and looked at it noticing red splotches.

Fuck.

I didn't know what else to do so I started screaming. I didn't scream anything specifically but I just screampt louder than I ever had before.

Some teachers came running and witnessed a slightly bloodied Damian, a screaming me, and a startled looking soccer team.

When I got home from school vee was standing at the door with Grayson right behind her. I nudged Damian's arm "we're so fucked." I whispered looking back at Vee and Grayson.

"Hola my awesome guardians!"

"YOU TWO GOT INTO A FIGHT?"

I messed with my fingers a bit "so I see we're not in the mood for pleasantries on this fantastic Monday morning!"

"YOU TWO GOT INTO A FIGHT?"

"Well in all technicalities it was self defense! And I didn't even want to fight they pulled me in. Plus Damian was Lowk being bullied soo..."

"Shes right?"

"I'm right!"

Vee and Grayson exchanged looks and just nodded and let out a sigh "I need a cigarette" Vee mumbled walking off towards the theater. (I can't believe this place has a whole THEATER by the way!)

I retreated to my room to finish up some homework. I heard groaning from the other room so I decided to peak over to check on Damian.

I knocked on his door and opened it ever so slightly. He was sitting on his bed shirtless, and his bruises from the earlier fight were more visible now.

I hadn't learned much about it but I knew the basics of patching up injuries. I gave a light knock and he looked up at me.

"You're pretty beat up Damian."

"I'm aware of that."

"Do you want me to patch you up Damian?"

"Maybe"

I gave him a quick eye roll as I snuck back to my room and shut the door to his right behind me now holding a first aid kit. "Does this happen often? Like the getting beat up by the soccer team thing?" I gave him a concerned look.

"No, that's why it was surprising" he chuckled as I wrapped the bandages around his abdomen.

I stood up and looked at him feeling pretty proud of myself.

"Did you understand the Chem homework?"

"Do you want help?"

"Yeah."

"Go get your folder"
