Gates Ghost

Second chance being normal

January 19, 2017 Gotham city

"You seriously expect me to wear this stupid uniform?"

"I had to wear it, others kids had to wear it, suck it up." Jason replied, outside the bathroom, he gave me a Gotham academy uniform, a black suit and tie, with a white collared shirt and a black jeans, not to mention black dress shoes. Considering we live in a dirty apartment, I'm confused on how he got these and me into this school.

"How did you get me into this school?" I asked him as I finished getting dressed.

"I know someone there, now hurry up, I'm driving."

"Alright......you know I'm nervous about this, being in a new school."

"Think of it this way, new school, new you. I know it's hard, its going to be all right, just be careful who you talk to."

"...Alright." I got out the bathroom and looked at Jason

"Not bad Gates, not bad." He smiled a bit and walked out the apartment. I followed, trying to fix my hair in the process. I hate that my hair gets long, I can't see when it's long because it covers my eyes. I moved it out the way to see out of both my eyes. "Come on let's go!" Jason was already in the driver seat.

"Why can't I drive?"

"Because we are in public so a lot of places to crash...also you can't drive since you don't have a license and I can't legally kill anyone who sees, if you know what I mean."

"Yeah yeah i got it." I got in and we started to drive off.

The ride to school wasn't that long and before I knew it I was at this high class boarding school, I just looked down, nervous and shaking slightly.

"Oh relax." Jason said. "A new school equals having a chance to be normal. Make friends, get a girlfriend."

"I was normal.....in Star City."

"...Well here's your second chance." I looked at the school and saw kids with the same outfit on, going up to the school. "Micheal....just be yourself okay?"

"Be myself....." I slowly got out of the car as I felt Jason pat my shoulder. "Alright...see ya later then." I started to walk to the school as Jason pulled off. I tried to just relax but it was hard, not knowing anyone in the school, it's just too much. A top of that this is a private school so the work is probably twice as hard.

"Ooh, who's that?" I heard a female voice say. I glance over to see a group of girls looking at me a giggling. I waved back and smiled nervous as I entered the building, which is huge! Anyway the classroom i have to go to is A220, so up the stairs I go. When I got there I saw a man with shirt black hair, in a brown suit sleeping on the desk. I walked over and shook him a bit.

"Gn...." He slowly got up snd looked at me. "Who are you? Is class over?"

"Um, no sir...I-I'm the new transfer student..." I gave him my paper, in which he glanced over.

"Oh Micheal huh. I'm your teacher for now on, Mr. Drake." He stood up and went in front of his class. The student were just talking and laughing. "Everyone....Hello!?" The student stopped talking and turned to Mr. Drake. "This is our new transfer student...from Star City, Micheal Gates."

I waved shyly. "Hi..." I felt so nervous just standing, they all had the looks of judgement on me. "I uh...I use to do BMX and once did motocross."

"You get to sit next to...." Mr. Drake, scanned the room and pointed at the back. "In the back, next to the boy with his head down."

"No..." a voice said.
