—In Garfield's House—
Tuesday September 11, 2018
Garfield woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon on the stove. He took a shower, brushed his tooth, got change and ran downstairs. He walked to the kitchen and sat at the table, ready to eat the breakfast Rita had done.
Rita gave him his tofu eggs and bacon and Garfield ate it faster than the Flash himself could have. He took his school bag and an apple before saying "Bye Steve, bye Rita".
"Bye kiddo" Steve responded without taking his eyes out of his journal.
"Bye my lil Garfield" Rita hugged Gar. "Good luck and have a good day". She released him from her hug and he walked out of his new house.
—In The Roth Manor—
Rachel woke up by the sound of her alarm clock. She took a shower and changed into her usual black ripped jeans, her purple hoodie, her black t-shirt with Azarath Metrion Zinthos written on the front and her black combat boots.
She did her meditation like she did every other day and walked downstairs to the kitchen. Her father was in the living room reading a book named The Deal about a drug dealer and a murder. 'Wonder if it's the story of his life... it's pretty similar to his' she thought.
She ate cereals and was getting out of the manor until her father stopped her. "Don't be late" He told his unique daughter.
He took the pack of cigarettes in her pocket and told her "And stop taking this shit". After saying this, he sent the pack of cigarettes to the other side of the room.
"HEY" Rach yelled at her father.
"Don't you dare talk to your f****** dealer friend again, Rachel" Tritan yelled at her.
"You can't tell me what I can and cannot do"
"Yes I can... I'm your father and you have to listen to me" He replied with a bit of anger in his voice.
Rachel looked at him right in the eyes and said "You're nothing like a father". Tristan gave her a death glare. "Rachel, you little plague" he yelled.
He grabbed her arm tightly and whispered into her ear "NEVER say that again".
"Let go of me" Rachel struggled to get out of his grip, but no avail.
"Not until you promise me that you'll never talk to one of my dealers again" He paused and looked right into her eyes, trying to see through her soul. "And especially this one"
"I Promise" His daughter said scowling. He left and Rachel got out of the Roth manor and ran do the bus station.
—In J.C.H—
Rachel was standing in front of the stairs outside. She was listening to Human by Maggie Lindemann on her IPhone. She felt calm and relaxed until she heard a girly voice call her "Rachel". She closed her phone and put it in her pocket.
She looked to the direction of the voice and saw Kory Anders running to her. "What? AGAIN" Rachel asked the cheerleader.
"Our school projects, I can't do it alone, I need you Rachel" She begged Rachel. The young 15 years old, Rachel Roth, looked at her, in her green eyes and eventually said "You'll have to do it alone red head" and walked away.
Garfield was walking around and heard a girl's voice calling after someone. He walked closer and asked the girl "Who are you calling?". The girl turned around, surprised by the blond boy.
The beautiful girl grinned at him and handed him her hand. "No one... my name is Kory Anders, what is yours?" He smiled at her and replied to her question "Garfield Logan, but call me Gar".
The young Logan shook her hand and started to ask things like "where is the __ class" or "where is the secretariat". She answered his questions and leaded him to his locker before going away and talk to her friends.
Garfield was putting his things in his locker when a girl, just beside his locker, started to talk to him. "You are the new guy, right?".
The girl was wearing a purple hoodie and had purple and black hair. "Uh yeah?" He answered unsure. It sounded more like a question, but Rachel let it go.
"What's your name?"
"Garfield, but please call me Gar" he insisted.
"Well, Gar, do you know who I am?" Gar looked at her strangely.
"Umm no?" It sounded like a question again, but Rachel didn't care about it. Garfield was a bit scared 'Why am I suppose to know her?' He thought.
"That's a good thing for me... I am Rachel, Rachel Roth" she said. He smiled at her.
"What class do you have?" She asked him. "Hum Science with Mr. Bridges".
"Same, I'll show you the way"
She entered the class followed by Garfield and sat beside one of her only friends, Jason.
Since he couldn't sit by her side, Garfield started to look around for somewhere else to sit. "Hey new guy" Gar looked in the direction of the voice to see a tall and strong African American boy waving at him.
He walked to the boy and sat beside him. "I'm Victor, call me Vic" said the tall man.
"Garfield, but call me Gar"
"So, I saw you talking with Rachel Roth" He said looking at her and Jason. Garfield looked at them and then at Victor. "You've got a lot of chance man... there isn't a lot of people she talks to other than Jason and Dick... well, unless..." he started.
"Unless what?"
"Unless she's planning something bad for your arrival at J.C.H" Garfield quickly looked at her only to see her and Jason looking at him.
—At Lunch Time—
Rachel was eating alone, just like Dick Grayson. Jason had a family problem and went back home leaving her alone in the outside part of the cafeteria.
Kory was sitting on a bench with her older sister, Kora.
Garfield, him, was eating with Vic and his friends: Karen Beecher, Garth, Roy Harper, Wally West and Adam McKenzie.
Garth and Adam were arguing about who is the most sexiest one. Vic and Karen were talking about a movie and Roy and Wally were talking to Garfield.
"Who is she?" Gar asked Roy.
"Who?" Wally replied
"Rachel Roth" Garfield answered, looking at her.
"Rachel is feared by everyone here" Wally told Garfield while gesturing. "Why?"
"A lot of reasons and good ones" Roy answered. "Just try to avoid her... and NEVER mess with her" Wally whispered yelled to the blond boy, but loud enough to let his red haired friend hear him too.
—During Class—
Garfield was sitting next to Victor. "You should come to the match later" The tall man proposed his friend.
"There's a match today?"
"Yeah... you should come lil guy" the footballer mocked him.
"HEY" Victor laughed at Garfield's face. "When is the match?"
"This one is from 4 to 5 PM" He explained.
"Ok I'll come"
After the 3th period, Garfield called his adoptive parents to tell them he wasn't coming home before 6 o'clock. They were ok with it and Garfield went to his first Football match.
