Chapter 2
(Samantha’s P.O.V)
Dick and I pull up at the school’s carpark and as usual, it’s packed with students, I don’t know why people always seem so happy to be here, I think to myself as teens all walk around the front of the school building. It makes people think that this is a good place where everyone is happy and wants to be there, well that cant be further than the truth.
“Torture here I come,” I mutter in a dark tone as I get off of the bike once Dick cuts the engine, I take off my helmet and put it under the back seat to be used later.
“Hey Sam have a great day and don’t get in trouble, I mean it,” Dick says to me from his place on the bike and I turn to give him a hurt look as I place a hand over my chest.
“Why would you say such a thing I’m such a perfect little angel?” I say in a light innocent ‘butter won’t melt in my mouth’ tone, Dick chuckles and flips his visor up to give me a stern gaze.
“No more fighting please and I’ll pick you up this afternoon,” Dick says before flipping down the visor and punching me in the shoulder gently, I roll my eyes. The sound of the school bell ringing causes me to let out a sigh as Dick starts up the motorbike and rides out of the school carpark. I look around and notice that I am the only one left in the carpark... this will be a fun day, I so can’t wait for the day to end so that I am free of this place tomorrow.
“Look at what the cat dragged in.” A familiar and cruel voice calls out with a laugh and I feel dread starts to pool in the bottom of my stomach, I turn to find two teens grinning cruelly.
“Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this?” I mutter in a soft tone as the two grinning students slowly make their way over to me as if I was helpless prey and them the ruthless predator.
“Hey, Wayne where’s that old butler that’s always at your beck and call” the blond haired girl catlin says flipping her hair. “or did he finally kick the bucket?” the brunette jewels calls out with a laugh, I try and continue on my way to class but am forced to stop as catlin steps out in front of me with her arms crossed and a nasty glare.
“Or did he finally realise that you’re just a waste of space and that he needed to get rid of you? Just like your real family did, freak?” jewels pushes me back and I try not to stumble. I just stare at the girl before me with wide eyes as she goes on to inspect her fake nails. I hate these two stupid ass bimbos and their plastic lives, the slightly taller blonde is Caitlin and the brunette is Jewel. Since their father is the fucking principal they’re never harassed, never bothered so they decided to make my life a living hell. I clench my fists but remember what Dick and Bruce had said to me.
“Shut up,” I muttered trying to keep my cool and stop my self from finally losing it and beating the shit out of the two girls, how the dare she talk about Alfred like that! If it wasn’t for the fact that I was asked not to fight, as Bruce and dick knew how pissed I was getting at the two girls for what they do to me on a day to day basis. as well as my own curiosity of what Bruce said before I left the manner she would be on the floor right now.
“Aww looks Cat, the poor little orphan is angry. It looks as if she’s gonna cry.” Jewels mocks me cruelly while using a tone of voice that you would use for a baby or a rather small animal.
“Fuck off Jewels, just leave me alone the both of you,” I growl out before I try to make my way past the bitch but her sister takes a step next to her, making it rather difficult for me to get to my homeroom.
“Now, now that’s not very nice Wayne,” Catlin says as I go to push past the two girls so I could go to class and start to get this day over with and get back to the safety of the manor with my family.
“What’s your hurry skeleton why is it that these to girls always make fun over my skinny body. maybe they’re jealous. “first class hasn’t even started yet.” A male voice says as I am ripped backwards by my hair, my eyes widen in fear no not him I struggle to get out of his grip.
“No, please...” I whimper to myself in fear as I feel his grip tighten on my hair, unlike Jewel and Catlin Danny is not scared to physically beat me up until I am a bloody mess. “whats the rush freak”. Danny is a large jock on the school’s football team, he has short dirty blonde hair and is built like a powerful bull.
“We weren’t finished talking with you, Wayne,” Catlin says to me in a rather dark and cold tone of voice as she walks or more likely struts over to Danny and me. The twin terrors are the brains of the group as Danny only understands two things and those things are anger and violence.
“A birdy told me it was your birthday in a week and I have the perfect surprise,” Danny says as he spins me around in the blink of an eye and he has his hand around my neck just as fast.
“Come on Jewel we need to see dad and tell him of how this poor orphan is been harassed,” Catlin says and jewels laugh as I struggle to breathe before leaving me alone with Danny, They always do this, to make it seem as if they are two perfect little angels.
“I don’t know how you haven’t learned that no one wants you here. Why haven’t you just left this school already?” Danny asks as I claw at his hands I feel like I’m going to pass out any moment, he drops me to the ground before kicking me in the ribs with a strong kick.
“AAHH!” I scream out in pain as I am sure that at least a couple of my rips had just cracked from the force. Danny picks me up roughly by the collar of my top with a cruel gleam in his eyes. I start coughing as blood starts to pool at the corners of my mouth.
“You should just kill yourself it’s not like anybody wants you in their life.” He punches me hard in the stomach causing me to double over as even more pain courses through my body.
“That’s not true...” I try to deny what he was saying to me but he only gives me a raised eyebrow and an amused expression as if what I had said was a really funny joke to him.
“You can’t tell me that Bruce Wayne wants you around. If so then why is he always on the news or out and about without you?” I feel the tears starting to spill and flow down my face not only from the immense pain but from the cruel words that seem to cut right through to heart my Danny punches me in the face busting my lip open. Just as Danny is about to punch me again I hear three sets of footsteps approach... oh no not good.
“Stop what you’re doing and get to my office now Mr Collins.” Principal Novak’s voice calls out from behind me, he drops me onto the ground before walking off to the Principal’s office. as I start coughing up more blood and try to catch my breath.
“Jerk,” I mutter to myself as I slowly push myself into a sitting position I wince as my body screams at me in pain, Principal Novak looks down at me with a cold indifferent expression on his face.
“Miss Wayne get your ass to class and stop antagonizing people. My daughters tell me that you are the reason why Danny has done all of this to you because you provoked him.” that’s a load of bull I think to my self no point in saying that out loud as he won’t believe me over his devil children. I get up off the floor and if it wasn’t for the high pain threshold that I have gotten from the years of Bruce and Dick training me, I’d be on the floor crying and curled up in on myself whimpering. “Go clean yourself up and get to your history class.” Catlin and Jewel both smile at me from behind their father just to push my buttons even more than they already have this morning.
“See ya freak.” I narrow my eyes at them as I hear one of them mutter this to me as I head off to find the closest possible bathroom. I almost stumble into the doorway as I make my way to the sink and look at my makeup that has smudged across my face from the beating that I got.
“Great another day without make-up,” I mutter to my reflection annoyed, I start whipping the blood off my face and wince as the cuts sting when I clean them, this day can’t possibly get any worse, can it? Just then I hear the bell for first class start to ring out... great history. I walk into History and everyone turns to look at me, they all stare in shock and not because I’m injured.
“Why the fuck are you here Wayne thought you would have learnt your lesson when you almost got set on fire in science!” One of the male students yell out at me as I take my seat close to the door, that’s another thing I’ve been having nightmares about. two days ago Danny thought it would be funny to try and set me on fire claiming it was a joke when the teacher caught him waving the flame from his lighter in front of me almost catching my hair on fire. Although the one about the man and woman always seem to overcloud the others and I don’t always remember them. It’s the same fucking dream that causes me to panic every night. when Danny held the flame to me if I wasn’t in a panic when I could have easily gotten out of that situation. but would have had to hurt him pretty badly in order to get my self out of harm’s way.
my thoughts are interrupted as Mrs winters walks into the room and slams her books down on the desk. “Alright class sit down and be quiet today we will be watching this morning’s news and be taking notes of any important things that are going on In Gotham.” The teacher says before turning off the lights so that we can see TV. The first thing that was we see is that there is a break out at Arkham asylum... Well, this day has just gone from bad to worse.
