LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
12:15 PM LOCAL TIME

Mary Grayson was studying in the hallway. Her knees were to her chest as she read out loud to herself.

"I hate English." She said annoyed.

"Me too we should all speak in clicks." She looked up to see Charlie Link smiling.

He was sweaty and in workout clothes.

"You had gym?" She asked.

Charlie Link was a nice boy with dark black skin and a crooked nose. He wasn't the brightest but he never pretended to be. He always tried to help her with her homework even if she didn't need it.

"Nah we had football practice." He sat down next to her.

"In the middle of the day?"

"Yeah, some of the players have work after school usually so our practices are whenever. I don't mind cause I always get to flex third.

She nodded and put her book down. She leaned her head on her knees and looked at him.

"Hey did you join any clubs yet?" He asked. "I meant to ask you at lunch yesterday but Nell kept derailing the conversation."

"Oh yeah! I joined the sign language club!"

Mary liked sign language. It was fun, it was also a little challenging cause it was the one language she couldn't learn by touch. It was different.

"Sign something for me."

"Hello. I am Mary. I am fifteen and I have a cat." She signed.

"I don't know what that means dude but good job."

"I could have said something mean and you wouldn't know."

"Nah I don't think you would do that."

The bell rang.

She got up and he grabbed her wrist.

"What?" She laughed.

His hand was sweaty.

"There's this party tonight... in Gotham... we're gonna take the subway- Nell, Billy Jean and Me... you should come."

Will Colin be there? Was the unspoken question.

"Colin probably won't come but it would still be cool if you came... if you want to... also you didn't come to the last party so you kinda owe me." He winked playfully.
