Don't wanna know

(contains minor gotham spoliers of season 2. i apoligise for the late chapter but it's a long one to make up for it.)

Ivy

I can't believe I fell for it. That whole speech from Cody was a big plan to embarrass me. He would do that then Kiki would say how I cried over her boyfriend. But Dick and Zach and Linda and Dawn and even Wally all stuck up for me and everyone had a go at Kiki and her friends were beating her up for being a bitch so I helped her and defended her. She just flicked her hair in my face and walked off. For some unknown reason, she no longer attends the school.

"Ivy!" I looked at who shouted at me and it was Linda.

"What was that Linda?"

"I said is tonight still on?"

"yeah of course, meet me at the mall at half 4." I said.

The rest of the day went uneventfully. I was walking outside to the car and I looked out the window as we were driving I was kind of listening to the conversation but not really. I don't know why but I didn't feel very happy.

"how was school Ivy?" Alfred asked.

"fine but is it ok if two friends come over today?" I asked because I forgot to yesterday.

"of course, are they staying for dinner?"

"I don't know."

"I shall prepare some for them anyway." I started to tune into the conversation. Zach seemed very hiper and excited and I have no idea why.

"V, are you excited too?" Dick asked.

"for what?" I asked curiously.

"Ivy, today's the 24th." Zach said.

"So, what?" I asked confused.

"of November." He said in a duh tone. I had totally forgotten. Tomorrow I'm turning 13. Wait! I forgot to get Zach a gift, at least I'm going to a mall. How am I going to get to the mall as my bike is smashed to bits and Dick gave me hell for using his. I'll see if Alfred will take me. We got home and I went upstairs to get changed. I got on a blue skirt and a white belt with a gold buckle. I wore a white vest top tucked into the skirt. I got a purple and pink checked shirt and tied it up in a bow around my waist. I went back downstairs and saw Bruce.

"hey Bruce." I waved.

"hi Ivy, where are you going?" he asked.

"out with friends."

"Boys?"

"not that I know of."

"Money?"

"I have savings."

"no take this." He handed me 100 dollars.

"Bruce it's fine this is too much."

"I'm not taking it back." He folded his hands. I sighed in defeat.

"how are you getting there?" he asked.

"hopefully Alfred."

"sorry he's busy."

"shoot, I'll walk."

"you sure it's a long walk?" he asked.

"done longer."

"don't forget to have fun and take your phone."

"I haven't got one." I said confused.

"now you have." He handed me an iPhone 6 in rose gold with more money.
