The Princes of Gotham || Jerome x Bruce ||

Who Is He?

My name is Bruce Wayne. I go to high school with my best friend Selina. Selina Kyle. Well, my only friend at that. Other than Ivy, but she's grown now.  Something, rather strange happened. Anyways I'm going into my junior year. I always make good grades. I live with my butler Alfred, after my parents died when I was younger. I'm a billionaire kid, from my parents and their company. Well, today in the month of January, we're in the second semester of school. Well, today is the first day back. After Alfred drives me to the front of the school, I get out. We say our goodbyes. Soon after, the bell rings I head to my first class.

"Hello, class!" the teacher says. "We have a new student! Why don't you introduce yourself?" The redhead gives her a death glare. "Well, tell them your name."

"Jerome Valeska." He rushes to his seat next to me without a word. I like his hair. It's..... something different, something you don't see very much in Gotham. I introduce myself, "Hey, my name's Bruce-" "Wayne. I know. You're kind a... famous." He's a perky person. It's funny, it's like he's a clown. Something else that isn't seen very much in Gotham either.

"How did you know? Didn't you just move here?" "No, I've been here all my life. Just now going to school. I hope that's okay with you, your highness." He says it with a smile on his face. Before I know it, it's lunch time.

"Hey man child!" Selina says dryly. "Hey. I think I became friends when a new kid." I confess to her. "Awww, I liked being your only friend."  "Will you ever stop being sarcastic?" "No, I'm too good for that shit, and you know it. Who is he? Where is he?"

"I don't know. But he has red hair. And-" Somebody blows on my neck from behind and I almost break neck to turn around. He laughs. "Hey Brucie, who's your friend? Is she your girlfriend?" She says no. But, I really wish she would date me. Again. "The name's Jerome. How about we ditch this place, huh?" Well, Selina's... Selina, "I'm down. Bruce won't come. He's a billionaire who feels as if he did one bad thing as thing, the world would end." He laughs again, there's something off in his voice. "That's not true. I'll come" He gasps. "Not the rich kid?! Oh my god, you've broken him." They laugh. He gets up from the table and starts to walk away. "Well, let's go people! Chop chop!" What am I getting myself into.
