THUNK.... BEEP BEEP BEEP
I fall on the floor as my alarm goes off. Today is my first day at Gotham academy. Its been four years since Dick left the circus. After he left I started my own act using all of Dick's routines I was taught. One year ago a couple named Brian and Sarah Johnson talked to Mr. Haley about adopting me he agreed that it was the best thing for me, so he sent me off with them. My first year with them they sent me to a special school to get me caught up since i'd never been to school before. Now i'm 16 and take more AP classes than anyone else I've ever met.
"Wren honey are you ok?"
"Uh yeah my alarm just scared me."
"Ok well hurry and get ready your uniform is ironed and hanging on your door."
"Ok thanks" I jump up and run to my bathroom brush my teeth, straighten my long blonde hair, and add a little makeup to highlight my green eyes. Then I start to put on my uniform which is a white button up shirt ( which I roll the sleeves on) a redish tie and a blue sweater vest thing then lastly my least favorite part a blue skirt to match the sweater vest.
"Wren are you ready?"
"Yeah two seconds" I grab my backpack, phone, and keys
"Tadaaa!" I announce once i'm downstairs
"Oh you look great!" Sarah squeals
"Sarah your squealing again" I laugh
"Oh sorry" She laughs too then she asks "Picture?..... Please?"
"Oh fine but hurry i'm going to be late" She grabs her camera
"Ok smile!" I smile and put my hand on my hip "Ok now funny picture!" she announces which makes me laugh while trying to make my best rat face. "Cute" she says "Now go your going to be late!" she pushes me out the door.

When I pull into the parking lot I grab my stuff and head into the school. One office trip later I have my class schedule.

Like I said lots of AP classes.
~~..~~..~~
When I walk into my first class I see a few girls and some guys I walk to the back of the classroom and sit then class starts. We really don't do anything he just hands out books and goes over the rules in the middle of class I feel a tap on my shoulder I look over and almost cry out in shock I see a four year older version of the Dick Grayson that I used to know.
"Hi my names Richard Grayson but you can call me Dick"
"Uh hi my names Wren Johnson"
"Cute" he winks at me I'm pretty sure at that moment my jaw dropped but then I felt a tap on my other shoulder so I turned and seen a girl around my age with red hair.
"Hey my names Barbara and just ignore Mr. Cocky over there. He doesn't know how to control himself" she whispers the last part and we giggle when I turn back to Dick I see him glaring
"What has she said to corrupt your pretty head?" I hear Barbara giggle from behind me.
"Nothing" I say, then Barbara and I burst into fits of laughter the bell finally silencing our giggles while we all file out of the classroom
"What's you schedule?" Barbara and Dick ask me at the same time once we are out of the classroom
"Uh" I hand it over to them
"Oh cool" Dick says "we have Algebra, AP Calc, AP Comp Science and Fitness together and holy crap Wren your taking my AP classes than I am!" I blush
"Barbara what classes do we have together?"
"Uh Algebra, AP World History, and Fitness. So I guess I'll see you later than. Dick show her around but stop your constant obsessive flirting." She narrows her eyes at him and does the I'm watching you thing, which makes me laugh, then she walks away
"Come on class is this way" he winks then walks toward our next class leaving me to catch up.
~~..~~..~~
"Wren over here!" I hear Barbara call I see her sitting at a picnic table under a tree. I walk over and sit down.
"Hey" I mumble and begin to open my lunch
"How's Dick been?" Barbara asks me
"As flirty and cocky as usual" I say with a smile
"I am not!" Dick says from behind me he then proceeds to pout.
"Are too" I say back sticking my tongue out.
The Dick I knew was never like this.
~~..~~..~~
"Barbara!" I yell
"Hmm?"
"I don't have any gym cloths!" I say panicked
"Oh crap um here take these" she hands me some shorts and shoes "I don't have an extra shirt though so you'll have to ask Dick"
"Oh great" I slip on the cloths that's she gave me and head over to the boys locker room. Once I get there I pound on the door until some guy opens it.
"Well hello--" I cut him off yelling
"Dick!"
"What!?"
"I need a shirt"
"Oh are you out there in your sports bra!" slowly starting to sound more and more pissed
"Uh yeah" he stomps to the door throws the shirt at me then glares at the guy and tells him to stop staring then he pushes me to the gym.
"What was that for?"
"I don't like how he was staring at you" he says "he was looking at you like a piece of meat" he slowly gets mad again
"Oh" then the teacher starts talking
"Ok I know it's the first day" the teacher starts "but we are going to start gym today" everyone groans knowing it was coming " but since it's the first day I will let you do whatever as long at you stay busy" at that we were released and I drag Barbara to the rock wall
"Race?" I say smiling innocently
"Sure" she says "but know one has ever beaten be at the wall
"Wanna bet" I challenge. We strap ourselves up then we wait for Dick to tell us when to go.
"Ready... Set... GO!" We start climbing I don't even pay attention to where Barbara is and a couple minutes later I reach the top and ring the bell, I hear cheering from under me as I lower myself down. Once I hit the ground I'm wrapped in a hug.
"I can't believe you just beat Barbara!" Dick says still hugging me
"Nice job Wren!" Barbara says "I finally have some competition" she laughs "Dick refuses to race me, maybe he's scared I'd win" she whispers the last part
"Yeah!" he pouts then he wraps his arms around my waist from behind and rests his chin on my shoulder. I'm pretty sure my eyes grow wide because Barbara just laughs and drags me away.
"Don't look now but he's pouting because I took you away" I glance over my shoulder and see she's right.
"God he's clingy!"
"Ha! you have no idea"

After school I find out that Brian and Sarah are going out so I have the house to myself, then the phone rings
