Kate's POV

     I had been woken up by someone shaking me, and yelling my name. I grumbled and started to pick up my face that was buried within my pillows. I sat up and slowly opened my eyes. I saw Becca standing there. She stared at me for a few seconds then cringed a bit.

"Dude! Your mascara is everywhere!" She giggled.

"Oh..."I say covering my face.

"Were you crying or something?" She poked my hands concealing my face.

"No, no.. I uh probably just forgot to take it off last night." I groaned.

"Yea right!" She said sarcastically, and left my room.

    I didn't want to go back to the freaking school. Especially because Damian would be there, and school would basically be a living hell all day! I looked in my mirror and laughed at me self. I looked like a wannabe racoon!

Dick's POV

    I am really freaking confused right now. First there's a giant hole in the ground, and Damian's casket is missing. Then he shows up in the batcave sitting in the chair and looking at things on the batcomputer! Scaring the crap out of me and Tim. Then he asks where Kate is... To where we said we haven't had contact with her ever since his....demise. He seemed somewhat upset, then just walked up to his room. Now he's going back to Gotham Academy today....WHAT THE ACTUAL FUDGE!!!!!!!!!!

Kate's POV

    After I was all done getting ready I headed down the stairs. But I changed one thing about myself. I wore my long blonde hair down, so I could cover my face. I picked up my backpack, and headed out the door, with Rebecca closely following.We got on the bus, and we were on our way to the school. We soon made it there in around 15 minutes.

    We got off the bus, and Rebecca and I started walking to my class. We went our separate ways, to our different classes. Once I walk into my classroom, I saw that we had a substitute today. I sat down At my desk towards the back of the room, and started to read my book. I heard some girls whispering, so I look up. I see Damian walk in..His hair perfectly combed back. In the school uniform. I small gasp escaped my mouth.

"Dang it.." I muttered.

    I quickly scooted down in my chair and dug my face into my book trying to cover my face as much as possible. I heard the chair in front of my squeak. No one has ever sat there. I peek up from my book, and saw Damian sitting right in front of me. I look to my right to see girls, desperately trying to talk to him. I slowly reached out my hand, to tap him on the shoulder, but the substitute started speaking.

"Hello Class!" The sub crowed. "My Name is Mr. Smith, and I will be your sub today!" He shouted. "And now I will take attendance."

"Crap...."

I heard the teacher muttering out names, but a few came out very distinct to me.

"Britney Jones?"

"Oh! Here!" She smiled brightly.

"Isabells Jayson?'

"Right here!" She cheered.

"Kathrine Kyle?" The teacher yelled looking throughout the room.

    I peek up a little from my book, and see Damian's head turning, searching the whole room. I slowly raised my hand and gave a slight wave. Damian's head turned behind him at the speed of light. We made eye contact, and I couldn't look away.

"Kyle.." He almost whispered.

I saw Britney glaring at me from the corner of my eye. I picked my book back up, and quickly covered my face with it. I then heard Isabella laugh. Oh how I hated her snobby little laugh. I hated it.

~~--Time Skip--~~

    The lunch bell rang and we were dismissed. So far Damian has been trying to talk to me all day. I just kept ignoring him. I was putting the combination in my locker, I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I quickly turn around to see Damian standing there, with a sad smile on his face.

"Kyl-Kate...What did I do wrong? Why won't you speak to me?" He questioned.

    My eyes, wanted to fill up with tears, but I didn't let them. I shut my locker quickly walking away. Leaving Damian there. Standing there. Wondering what he had done wrong.

~~--ANOTHER TIME SKIP--~~

    I was now the end of the day, I was at my locker, quickly gathering my things into my bag, trying to avoid Damian as much as possible. I was about to walk out the bus door when a hand gripped my arm and lightly pulled me back. I look up to see Damian there.

"Kate..What Did I do? What can I do to make this better?" He questioned, but I didn't answer.

"Kate, I-I love you, and no one besides you, please...I want to make this better." He demanded.

    This time, I didn't hold my tears back this time. I let them run freely down my face. He let go of my wrist and pulled me into a tight hug, embracing me with his warmth.

" B-but I don't have a choice.." I stuttered. Then I realized what I had just done.

"Choice?" he asked.

"U-uh.." I started. "I have to go..

I backed away from him. I quickly turned around, and almost ran out the door. Not looking back.
