Dick's POV:
I was having a bad day. No - scratch that out. I was having the most shitty of all bad days.
I suppose I should tell you all what happened.
I woke up at 5:00 am, showered, went downstairs and had breakfast with Bruce and Alfred. Well I tried to make breakfast for Bruce, since it was Father's Day, but it sort of failed. Horribly.
It ended in a few broken plates, pancakes and toast on the floor, hot coffee spilling all over me and me bursting into tears. Luckily Bruce wasn't angry, he just comforted me and gave me a warm hug. He told me that he failed much harder than me when he was my age, on Father's Day.
Instead of just falling over, he nearly set the house on fire!
After that I cleaned up (again), wore my uniform, grabbed my bag and was out if the door before I was late.
I walked to school and did all my lessons, not even falling asleep in any of them, which was an improvement.
When it was time to go home however, that's when the trouble started.
I was going to go home late, because Alfred had just left for England this morning to visit relatives and Bruce was with the League working on a mission.
Hopefully he would call Commissioner Gordon to pick me up with Barbara, but today Barbara was going home late tooo, as her dad had a case at work.
We sat doing our homework together. Well Babs did the homework, I searched things up.
I got out my phone and got ready to search for anything.
Babs put her head on my shoulder and read the paper she was holding.
"Okay, Dickie search up the meaning of a computer algorithm." She asked.
"A computer algorithm is a procedure or formula for solving a problem, based on conducting a sequence of specified actions. A computer program can be viewed as an elaborate algorithm. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm usually means a small procedure that solves a recurrent problem." I replied, to lazy to search it up.
Babara huffed and searched it up.
" Let's see how smart you really are, Pixie Boots," She smirked, pressing the search button.
Silence.
" Wow Dick," she said astounded. " Did you remember the meaning all by heart? That was straight out of Google!" (A/N: I have no shame people)
" Mabye," I said smirking.
" You never fail to impress people, huh?" She said teasing me lightly.
" It's all part of the show biz, honey." I said in a posh, high-pitched female announcer's voice, trying my best to look serious.
We both started laughing. It was an inside joke of ours.
Babs checked her watch. " Look at the time! Dad will be here in fifteen minutes."
" You got anything for him?" I said.
" Why?" she asked, looking puzzled.
" What! It's Fathers Day today!"
Babs gasped." What will I do?"
" You should go and pick flowers for him, the ones at the sides of our school gate and borrow a ribbon from Miss Wendy to tie them together. I'll finish the rest of our homework." I stated after some thinking.
" Thanks so much Dick! You're a lifesaver!" She cried, running up the long drive to our school gate.
I smiled and went to her locker, grabbed her books and was about to open them when I heard a taunting voice that made me freeze.
" Well, well, well; if it isn't Bruce Wayne's circus freak."
