Black Cat (Black Cat Chronicles, Book 1)

3. Lunch

**********************************************
Can I just say how amazing this drawing of Black Cat is? My friend drew it for me and I am in love with it. It's also the one that I used for the cover. Here's a new part, and as always, I hope you enjoy!

Miss Piper ran through the background story of Romeo and Juliet for the rest of class. As I packed up my stuff, I noticed Dick hanging by my desk. "What's up?" I asked as I put my Romeo and Juliet in my backpack.

"We have next period together, right?" He asked.

"Yup. Why, can't remember where the class is?" I teased.

"Possibly," Dick muttered. I laughed a bit as his cheeks started to get hints of red.

"It's cool, I'll show you the way. You'll get used to the lay of things in a few days," I told him as I slung my backpack over my shoulder.

"I was thinking, why did you ask who my favorite villain is? It's a bit odd for a conversation starter," he said as we walked down the hall.

"Well, I believe that a person's favorite villain tells a lot about them. Like with Gabe's favorite being Riddler, it shows that he enjoys being challenged intellectually. With Jaydon and Thomas's being Black Cat, it shows that they value wit. Well, and looks. I'm not quite sure what yours being Black Cat means yet, because you seem like you value wit a lot, but then again you could have chosen Riddler," I told him.

"How about yours being the Sirens?" Dick asked me as we turned the corner.

"What do you think it says about me?" I asked him.

"Well, I think it says that you like the diversity in groups. Like how normally, you wouldn't see people like Harley, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and Black Cat hanging around each other, so it creates a rare diversity," he responded as we got to the chemistry class.

"Close," I told him. "But what I really like is the family structure they seem to have. Close relationships like that, they really do matter. Especially in a city like Gotham, you need someone to have your back. Therefore, I value family and close relationships," I said as we walked in.

"How do you find out that much just from a favorite villain?" Dick asked.

"I just make deductions from it," I said as I shrugged. I walked to the back lab table, my normal seat, and Dick followed. "So you're sitting with me?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at him.

"If you'll have me, Juliet," he teased.

"Oh shut it Romeo and take a seat," I shot back. I did not need Alex finding out that we were cast as Romeo and Juliet, I would never hear the end of it. Dick sat next to me and we continued talking about villains and the Batman.

"He has a new sidekick, or whatever they're called," I said.

"Really? Who?" Dick asked me.

"I think he's called Robin, but I don't know. I barely heard it on the news when I was leaving my apartment," I told him. 'Not to mention the fact he's hella annoying and easy to take down in a fight. How's that for my 'sloppy fighting style'.' I added in my mind.

"Hm, that's cool," Dick said as class got put into session. Ms. Cho was our chemistry teacher, and basically prepared us for anything the state, or she, had to throw at us through testing. About ten minutes before the bell, I quickly scribbled out a note to Dick.

'Hey, you wanna hang out with my group at lunch?' I passed it to him quickly. Dick smiled as he read it and looked at me before giving me a quick nod. 'Oh fuck is Alex sitting with us today? Or is he going to hang out with Lorna today?' I quickly thought.
