Chapter 8: Nice Seeing You Here... I Guess
"Don't be so distracted!" Robin said as we spared.
"Sorry." I grunted.p
"You're distracted," He stopped. "What's up?"
"Nothing." I huffed and whipped my neck and forehead with a towel.
"Doesn't look like nothing. I know we haven't known each other for awhile, but you can tell me. You can trust me." He said. And I thought; But can you trust me?
"It's just... Personal." I shrugged, letting the towel hang on my shoulders.
"Ah." He chugged down water. "Well, if you do need anyone to talk to, the team is always there."
"Thanks." I shot him a smile. "Anyways, I better get going home my dad gets picky at times I get home. Even if he knows it's for a good cause." Good for him anyways.
"Yeah, alright. See you tomorrow." I left to change and head back home. My phone dinged.
Hey, wanna go to the place? -Seth
Sure, but Klarion is holding a pretty tight leash right now, so I might be a little late. -A
That's lame. Want me to pick you up, or would it be easier for you to talk to him...? -Seth
Can you? He likes you. -A
Yeah. I'll be over in about twenty. See you then. -Seth.
Yeah, see you then. -A
I zeta-tubed home, and jogged upstairs hoping Klarion wouldn't see me. He didn't. I changed out of my sweaty and gross training clothes and put on something more appropriate for the event. A pair of skinny jeans, a flannel shirt, and converse. I let the time pass by finishing up some homework and by just laying in bed.
Here. -Seth
I practically ran down the stairs, two at a time, and jumped the finally four. I heard the stall of the engine as it died. I slammed the door on the way out.
"You okay?" He asked, flicking the visor from his face.
"Yeah, let's go." I hopped on and put on a helmet.
"Okay." He flicked it back down, started the engine and we took off. I got used to the feeling of riding the motorcycle, the wind whipping through my hair, the rumble of the engine under me. It felt... Good. We rode to the park and pulled into the small lot.
"The blanket still in the seat?" I asked hopping off.
"Yeah, grab it?" He turned off the motor.
"Yeah." I opened the seat and pulled out the picnic blanket.
"Wanna go sit and lay down? I'll meet you over there." Seth said handing the helmets on the handle.
"Okay." I tucked the blanket under my arm and jogged into the field under an oak. Seth came back and sat on the blanket.
"So how's being on The Team?" Seth asked looking up at the clouds.
"It's fun. There are a lot of cool people." I answered.
After a little a surprise showed up. Artemis, Dick, and a read head were walking together. I knew who the redhead was, Wally, and Artemis was, well Artemis.
"Hey guys." Wally waved.
"That's them." I said under my breath. I waved and they made their way over.
"Hey, this is Seth my friend." I introduced Seth to the others.
"Hey, I'm Dick."
"Artemis."
"And I'm Wally!" They all introduced themselves. We all sat and talked for a little while, until the others and myself had to leave to train.
"See you later!" I waved as we walked away.
"He's cute." Artemis playfully pushed my shoulder.
"Yeah, I know." I smiled.
