He wasn't supposed to get caught. He was the freaking Boy Wonder.
Dick Grayson frowned as he made his way towards the cafeteria to face hisexecution detention. He'd managed to get in this boat a few times, and as always, they were very sure to call Bruce. Which led to a few weeks of dodging phone calls, and pretending he wasn't around. Because that so worked against Batman.
The boy shuffled through the double doors, one hand limply around the strap of his backpack slung over his shoulder, and the other at his side. Usually detention was held in the cafeteria, the large space making it so the students could be kept far enough away that they wouldn't spend the time talking to each other and actually enjoying their punishment, but close enough together that one teacher could keep an eye on them all.
Dick slid into one of the plastic cafeteria chairs and put his head on his hands waiting for this whole endeavor to just be over. His plan was to do maybe the rest of the week's math homework, and see how far he could get with the other subjects. The kid wouldn't have a chance to do any work.
As the clock clicked into place showing that it was the start of detention, Dick found himself staring at the teacher who had a few smiling girls at her side. His gaze instantly locked onto a redhead who looked incredibly happy to be there. The teacher was telling them about how for this detention period they would be helping the Homecoming committee set up for the dance instead of working on their own work like usual. Apparently not enough people had showed up to help with homecoming. Or maybe they were paying their debt to society or something. It didn't matter.
He couldn't take his eyes off Starfire. The teacher was droning on about how she was going to break them into groups and they would help a homecoming committee member work on her section of the gymnasium. If there was a god, and he was paying attention to life down here at all, Dick prayed he would be put in the same group as Starfire. He waited with baited breath as the teacher went through roll call. There weren't the usual giggles at his name, since the teacher didn't know he preferred to be called Dick...even if the name was a bit archaic.
She then proceeded to put them into groups. Dick was put into a group with two other guys, and a girl with cropped red hair. He peeked at them shyly from behind his mess of ungelled black hair and followed the mass ofcattle students to the gymnasium. The herd split into groups once it reached the gym. The two guys that had been in their group had been absorbed into other groups with their friends, leaving Dick to awkwardly follow around the most easily recognizable member of his small group: Paige.
“Ummm. Hi.” he tried, in a small voice, with a soft smile. “I'm Dick.” His eyes then darted over towards the teacher who was talking with the girls who had originally been with the teacher and hoping Starfire would come over to their motley group.
