Dick and Wally walked slowly to school, they were both nervous about the first day, but Wally was more nervous at the sight of his best friend. Dicks school uniform hung loosely, he had definitely lost weight since Wally had seen him last, about two weeks ago. The redhead just shrugged off the feeling that something was wrong with the black-haired boy.

"So, what classes are you doing this year?" Wally asked his best friend. Dick was very smart, and was ahead in almost all of his classes.

"Math 12, some special acrobatic P.E. class, and History 10. And of course Science 12 with you." Dick answered, Wally excelled at science, and was bumped up two grades. "Oh! And I have that stupid English learning class, I mean, it's not like I can't read or write in the language!"

Wally shrugged at the 13 year-old boy, "But you can't read or write in English, Dick."

The acrobatic rolled his eyes, "Fine, I can't. But I can in eight other languages for God's sake!" The teen finished, exasperated.

Wally laughed, "C'mon, were going to be late!"

"Are you ok? I'm such a klutz!" The redhead asked Artemis in a slightly European accent, "I'm Megan by the way, Megan Moores."

Artemis surveyed the girl. She had caucasian skin with freckles on her cheeks, her face held a smile as her brown eyes twinkled. Long orange hair was held back in a headband, and she wore the Gotham Academy uniform.

"Fine, thanks." Artemis grunted, getting up. "You're going to Gotham?"

"How did you know?" Megan asked her, "Hello, Megan! I'm wearing the uniform."

Artemis smiled but was a little confused at this girl. She seemed nice enough though, "Artemis Crock, nice to meet you, Megan."

Connor walked to school, not really thinking. Well, he was thinking, but it wasn't the usual thoughts when people were walking alone. He was just thinking, 'right foot left foot right foot...' Connor sometimes felt like he was an outsider to everyone. Like... like he was a clone or something. Connor shrugged, going back to thinking about walking. He had been reading too many superhero comics lately.

Kaldur entered the school, just on time. The bell rang loudly as students rushed everywhere. The blonde took a step back from the crowd and after a minute everyone was gone. Suddenly two boys ran through the front doors. The taller one with fierce orange hair was holding the smaller ebony-haired boy's hand, pulling him to match his speed.

"We made it! See you in science, Dick!" The redhead said, letting go of the smaller teen and running down the hall.

"Bye Wally." The teen, now presumed to be Dick, huffed.

Dick started walking down a different hall than Wally, but then saw Kaldur standing alone. "Are you lost?" He asked the blonde boy.

"No, just heading to Math 12." Kaldur said, heading away from Dick.

"What a coincidence!" Dick said, falling into a stride with Kaldur, "So am I!"

Kaldur raised a questioning eyebrow but held out his hand, "I'm Kaldur'ahm."

"Richard Grayson." Dick said, shaking his hand.
