Dick texted Cam saying Bruce had found her.

To: Cammy
From: Grayson
I'll be back tomorrow. Some business I have to do :)
She locked her phone and looked out the window.
"I can't believe you would do something so reckless and stupid-never mind I actually can believe it. There is no break with you-,"
"If I am so difficult why don't you leave me with Jay?"
"Because I would feel bad for dumping a girl like you with her."
"God dammit Bruce! You are such an asshole!"
"Don't speak to me like that!"
"All you do is degrade me and now you degrade my family. You think it would make me stronger or I would learn from my mistakes but I won't. You don't realize the emotional toll this has had on me."
"Well tough." She looked at Bruce with disgust.
"I don't want to ever talk to you again," she said turning away.
"Your still going to the school on Wednesday. I already ordered your uniform so you should be good." She didn't say a response. She stayed quiet the whole way home. The rest of the car ride. The airplane ride home. The drive from the airport to home. She never uttered a word to Bruce or the rest of the family.

On Wednesday Cam looked at the uniform and saw it's ugly red and white colors. "God do I want to vomit," she said putting the tie on. She grabbed her backpack and ran downstairs. She saw Dick immediately but looked away instantly. She saw Alfred made food for everyone else but her. He didn't even make a lunch for you. But she thought two could play at that game. So she made herself a sandwich and put some goldfish and chips with grapes. Then she grabbed a granola bar and headed out. Until Bruce stopped her.
"I know your not talking to me but here's your schedule. Someone will be waiting for you." He tried leaning in for a kiss but she dodged it and walked out while slamming the door.

The campus was nice. She thought it would be a shit storm but it wasn't. The girls were so nice to her.
"Hi, Camilla Wayne. I'm Toni Torres. This Heather Hutchinson. Next to her is Maddie Mitchell."
"So much energy," she said shaking their hands.
"We want to make sure your senior year is the best! Do you have your schedule?" Cam handed the schedule to her. She watched Toni scanned it then the biggest smile crossed her face. "You have your first period class with me."
"Cool. What is it?"
"AP English." She mentally cursed Bruce's name for giving her those courses.
"Awesome. Where to?" They led her down a brown, colorless hallway that had posters for voting for Homecoming Queen and King.
"Make sure to vote for me for Queen. I'm running against Maddie but we know I'm going to win."
"Then why nominate her?"
"So it doesn't look rigged." Cam said a soft oh and looked away. "This class is the best and I know you'll love it." Cam rolled her eyes. God I want to kill myself.

When she entered Wayne Manor she took her bag and trudged upstairs. Her English teacher gave her an assignment and it was to write. That's fucking dumb. What do I write about? She opened the book and thought about how her life has been so hectic with every bad thing that could happen, happen to her.
I don't know what you want me to right or what you expect me to right. Honestly I feel like you assigned this so you could sell this and ruin my father's life. Is that wrong of me to say? I'm sorry if I come off harsh or even mean. I just have never been to a school like this. It's hard to transfer especially when some stuff happened me. Honestly I just need someone to talk to. Do you want to know what I did? I traveled to my aunt's house in Texas because of how crazy my family is. How many people can say they can do that? I feel like I should be happy because my family is rich and famous. But is that what makes someone happy? So much for not trusting you, huh?
She closed the journal and put it in her bag and getting her history textbook out. Around 7 Alfred came in her room.
"It's dinnertime Lady Camilla," he said about to walk away.
"Alfred!" He walked backwards and was facing her. "I am deeply sorry for calling you the help. And being so mean to you before I left. I have no idea why I did it. I think it was because of how angry my dad made me. What I'm trying to say is my actions are inexcusable and I'm sorry." Alfred smiled at her and hugged her.
"It's okay Lady Camilla. I understand." She had a tear spill over but quickly wiped it. They walked to the dining room and there sat the family. Bruce at the head.
"Bruce. May I speak to you?" He looked at his family. "They aren't going to give you an answer." She laughed. Everyone looked at her stunned. "What?"
"It's just you haven't smiled or laughed in awhile. We thought you were broken," Tim said. She laughed along with the rest of the family. Bruce got out of his chair and followed her to his study.
"This is long overdue. I am sorry."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay."
"Okay!" she hugged her dad and went back into the dining hall taking her seat at the head, across from her father.
