Her secrets

Chapter 1

Blaire looks out the fogged up window, moving her hair away from her face. The day has been long and tiring. She has listened to her teachers drone on and on about due dates and projects. She's sitting in her last class of the day. And it's one of her least favorite classes. Chemistry. Blaire isn't doing very well in chemistry. Her teacher, Mr Williams, has even suggested that she drop the class completely. But Blaire doesn't want to drop a class halfway through the year.

The bell rings, alerting the class that the end of the day has finally arrived. Students start packing up their bags, ready to head home for the day. Blaire also packs up, but Mr Williams calls her over, asking her to stay behind for a few minutes. Blaire sighs softly, walking over to the front desk. Once everyone else is gone, Blaire speaks up. "Are you gonna ask me to drop chemistry again?" She asks. "No. I'm giving you a tutor." Mr Williams tells her.

"A tutor? Who?" Blaire asks, hoping it's someone she knows. "Damian Wayne." Mr Williams says. "He has agreed to tutor you every Thursday after school." Blair furrows her eyebrows. "Damian Wayne? Why did he agree to tutor me?" She asks. Blair knows that Damian isn't really a people person. Mr Williams smiles. "He likes helping people that need it. And he's the smartest in the class." He says, pride evident in his voice. Of course Mr Williams would be proud of Damian. He's one of the smartest students in the school. And he's in Mr William's class.

"Okay. Well thank you for getting me a tutor, Mr Williams. I'll see you tomorrow." Blaire says, moving her hair away from her face. "See you tomorrow, Blaire." He says. Blaire walks out of the class room, a soft sigh escaping her lips. She's fine with having a tutor. It'll help her pass chemistry. But she would've liked to have a tutor that would be friendly to her. Damian doesn't seem too friendly. As she stops at her locker, Blaire hears a deep voice. "You're Blaire Hamilton, right?" Blaire turns to look at him. She hadn't even heard him walk up to her. "Yeah. I am." She replies, looking up into his bright green eyes. Blaire would be stupid to say that he isn't handsome. Damian definitely has his father's looks.

Damian holds his hand out for her to shake. "I'm Damian Wayne. It's nice to meet you." He says. Blaire shakes his hand. "Yeah. You too." Blaire says, turning back to her locker. "Are you ready for our tutoring session?" Damian asks, leaning against the locker next to her. "Wit. Tutoring session? But it's Wednesday." She says. He shrugs. "I'm busy tomorrow. So we'll do it today." He tells her.

Blaire sighs. "Okay. I need to quickly call my brother to let him know what I'm doing." She mumbles. "Where are we going to study?" She asks. "My place." Damian says. Blaire nods, closing her locker. She pulls her phone out and calls her brother, hoping he won't mind her last minute plans. "Hey Blaire bear. You on your way home?" Her brother, Blake, asks happily. "No. I have a tutoring session so I'll be home later." She replies. "Oh. Okay. I'll put your dinner in the microwave." He says. "Thanks Blake." She says. "Be home before it gets dark. See ya later, Blaire bear."

Blaire hangs up, looking at Damian. "I'm ready. I just have to be home before it gets dark." He nods, leading her out of the school. "So. Are we taking the bus?" Blaire asks. 'No. Pennyworth is picking us up." Damian tells her. A limo pulls up. An older man gets out and opens the door for Damian and Blaire. "Thank you, Alfred." Damian says, getting into the limo with Blaire.

Blaire bites her tongue, feeling slightly nervous. She has never been inside a limo before. "Who is your friend, Master Damian?" Alfred asks. "This is Blaire Hamilton. I'm tutoring her." Alfred nods, driving off. "It is very nice to meet you, Miss Hamilton. I'm Alfred." He says. it's nice to meet you, too." Blaire smiles, looking out the window as they drive. The drive is mostly silent.

When they pull up at Wayne manor, Alfred opens up the car door for Blaire and Damian. Damian gets out and leads Blaire up the stairs towards the front door. "A small warning before we go inside. My...brothers...are very annoying and inappropriate.So...just try to ignore them." Blaire nods, holding the strap of her backpack. Alfred opens the front door for them, letting them inside. Blaire glances around. The inside of the manor is just as beautiful as the outside.
