"AJ! Come on! You're gonna be late!" My mom shouted up the stairs as I ran from my room and down the stairs. "Hey, what were you doing up there? I've calling you for almost a half hour."

"Sorry, Mom.." I replied before kissing my mom on the cheek. "I guess it's just I'm not ready to do this. I mean, this is my sixth school in two months."

"I know, honey. I just want you to be safe."

"I know, Mom. I'll be okay. Hopefully, Gotham Academy will be better than that Grace and Frankie Academy in Maine. God, I hated that school." Thinking back on the school, I shuddered softly. That school, Grace and Frankie Academy, was suppose to be a Catholic School. But..as said before, everything is not what it seems.

(Anybody remember this reference? *Hint hint, Selena, hint hit,Gomez**)

I just hope it isn't the same for Gotham. I've heard there's a lot of crime here, but the schools are great schools. It's funny how the city is the worst place ever and yet, they have the best schools. I don't know, but..I wasted no time. I grabbed my muffin from off the kitchen counter and I zipped out the door. But not before kissing my mom on the cheek once more.

"Well, Gotham Academy, here I am." I mumbled as I saw a line of cars entering the drop-off lane. I didn't need my mom to take me because I lived 15 minutes away.

Now, I will tell you. Gotham Academy looked nothing like the photos. This school was a huge and more lively vision than what the photos looked like. I was already loving this school because it has a better expectation so far.

But, unfortunately, I can't say the same for the students.

"Watch it!" I heard as I was pushed the side. I fell on the pavement and looked up to see a group of girls walk past me, giving me a look of disgust as they did. I glared back at them before I looked down and saw my stuff was scattered across the ground.

"Wonderful. It's only my first day and I'm already making enemies."

"It's like that on the first day.." I heard as I looked up and saw a boy standing above me. Wait..why does he look so familiar? "Need some help?"

"Um..sure?" The boy smiled before he picked up my binder and notebooks. "Here you go."

"Thanks.." I said before I placed them in my bag. "So, you're the new girl, huh?"

"Is it that obvious?" I joked as the boy laughed.

"Well, in a way. You say it's your first day. And by the way, I volunteered to be the tour guide of the school. I heard I was helping a girl from Maine who transferring here. Is that you?" I nodded slowly before my eyebrows furrowed.

"How did you know-?"

"You're the only one who's transferred here from somewhere else. Plus, even if I didn't know that, I know everyone here. I would have known your face if I had seen you before." Okay, that makes sense, I think.

"I'm Dick, by the way. Dick Grayson." That's it! That's why he looked so familiar! He's the adopted son of Bruce Wayne!

"Wait a second..Dick Grayson? As in the son of Bruce Wayne? That Dick Grayson?" I asked as Dick rolled my eyes.

"Trust me when I tell that's all I'll ever be known for." I raised an eyebrow before I shook it off, not wanting to go any further than that.

"Well, I'm AJ. AJ Briars." I introduced as he nodded. "That's a name that I can be whelmed with. By the way, is it a nickname like mine or is that your actual name?" This dude ask some serious questions!

"Um-"

Before I could finish, the bell had rung and my heart raced in fear. "Shoot! That's the warning bell! I don't even know where my classes are!"

"No sweat! We're going to guidance first, so you're not late." I sighed in relief before I nodded and we both walked into the school.

"How's it going?" He heard Superman ask as he watched Dick and the new girl walk into the school.

"So far. I'm not seeing anything. The girl's mother said that we need to be cautious of her. She has an ability. But she doesn't know it."

"What is it?"

"Her mother said she has the ability to see ghosts, consume them, and become one with them. Almost like absorbing someone's abilities and skills and using it against them. But her abilities are too powerful. So she called for help." He explained as he walked away from the edge of the roof.

"Do you want me to meet you?"

"No. I need to gather more Intel on this girl. I'll com you if I need anything."

"Okay."
