I woke up in basically a pool of my own sweat. I had a massive head ache and the alarm clock screams didn't help. i got out of bed and checked my alarm, 7:05 am it read. It was the first day back at school since the week break we suddenly and randomly had.

I didn't want to go to school, I woke up a nervous wreck and when I got to school, I would just be an awkward wreck. I remember everything that happened last night, and everything I said and did led up to the moment on the driveway. I don't regret it, I'm just confused by it.

I slugged over to my closet and grabbed an ash colored button up shirt. I put on a white undershirt then put on the ash colored shirt and buttoned it all the way up to the top. I grabbed the burgundy colored tie and quickly and sloppily tied it. I quickly put on some khaki pants and sat on my bed to put on some leather shoes. I hated the school dress code, it makes me look really lame.

I stood up and looked at my dresser mirror and fixed my hair, and by fixed my hair is mean run my fingers through it and hope it looks nice. As I was fixing my hair, Dick barged into my room. He had on a light blue button up and plain black pants,

"Hey man, I got a hold of my friend and he's coming over after you get out of school, so when you get home meet us in the batcave. Also, Bruce and Alfred won't be home until late afternoon so I got to take you to school."

"Where have you been?" I thought you where going to help me with my training yesterday."

"I'm sorry about that, I had to see a erm... friend. Her name is Kayla, you'll probably meet her later. Anyway, I'll meet you outside." He said and closed my door.

I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and put on some deodorant and for some reason cologne; i dont usually do it, but I did today for some reason. I walked out of my room and grabbed my navy blue coat with the Gotham Academy 'logo' on it and walked out the door.

Dick was waiting for me in a red sports car, I didn't know where he got it from because he's never had it before,

"Where did you get the car?" I asked sitting down in the front seat.

"It's not mine, I'm just borrowing it from Bruce, enough chit chat or your going to be late to school."

I rolled my eyes and Dick sped down the street, taking me to the last place I want to be at the moment.

Dick dropped me off in front of the main gate. I got out of the car and walked into the gates. I searched around for my friends,

"Hey, Caption!" Hervey blurted out form the crowd.

I walked over to them when I heard Hervey scream from the crowd. Hervey was alone and he looked like a lost dog when he wasn't standing next to Kyle. He had on the same thing as I did expect he wasn't wearing a his navy blue coat,

"Why do you call me that, and where is everyone else?" I asked looking around

"Kyle is trying to pick up some new girl and Rain is at her locker or something. Oh and I don't know why I call you that, it just has a nice ring to it."

I rolled my eyes "New girl?" I asked him, changing the subject

"Yeah she just got here, she seems pretty cool, Kyle doesn't have a chance with her so i'm just waiting for him to get rejected."

I laughed and glanced out the corner of my eye and saw Rain walking over to us, once she saw me she started walking a little faster. She had on a white button up shirt and over that was a navy blue cardigan type thing, she had on a navy blue skirt and black dress shoes; she looked like every other girl in this school, but I think she stood out the most,

"Hey, guys." She said and hugged me, her hugging me and Hervey calling me Caption are just something they do so i thought nothing of it.

"Hey, Rain." I said and Hervey waved.

"Where's Kyle?" Rain asked pulling away from the hug.

"Trying to get with some girl." Hervey said with a laugh.

"That can't be good," She whispered and glanced at me, "H, you should go get him before he hurts himself.."

"Good idea." Hervey said and ran off to Kyle.

Rain looked at my tie and knitted her eyebrows together, "who tied your tie? A man with no hands?" She joked and started to fix my tie.

"I was in a hurry." I chuckled, "anyway, um, what was last night all about?"

"Well Hervey and Kyle got drunk then you and I talked for a while, while looking at the city then you helped me take Hervey and Kyle home." She said and finished fixing my tie.

"Oh yeah." I nodded sounding disappointed, I didn't mean to sound so disappointed, but I slightly was.

Hervey and Kyle walked back and Kyle had a frown on his face,

"I got rejected." He said and sighed.

"It's alright buddy," I said clearing my throat and trying not to sound disappointed, "you'll find some other girl."

Hervey laughed and was probably about to say something sarcastic but the bell interrupted him. Everyone started to scramble to their classes,

"Whoops, gotta go, see you guys next period." Hervey said and walked to his first period class.

The three of us waved goodbye and walked to our classes. We had the first period in different classes but we has the next two periods with each other.

I walked to my class, trying not to run into anyone. I looked down at the ground and sighed before opening the door to my first period class.
