"I don't think there's a school circus or gymnastics, Though if they had a trapeze club I think I could still do it. You're right it's one of those things you never do get over. Maybe we could go have some fun at a gymnast training facility just to see what all we can still do," he said as he drove into the parking lot of the Gotham Diner. "This place has awesome burgers, and good shakes, after we eat I'll take ya home I don't want your mother to worry about you being out to late, especially on the first day of school.

Dick had gotten lucky his History class was right by the door closest to the parking lot for Seniors. As soon as the bell rang Dick went out to his car and threw his books in the backseat. The cherry red Shelby Cobra purred as he started it up. Dick turned on the radio to a satellite news feed. It had been a habit formed by years working with Batman and the Titans. Always know what is happening, pay attention to what is and isn't being reported. He waited for Summer to exit the school building, by the time she exited he had already taken the op down on the car. He opened the car door for her and helped her get in with her books. "So how was the rest of your afternoon?" he asked as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"I may have to come see her then, and I don't know if she knew I was going to be here, I highly doubt it considering I enrolled just a few days ago. Now I don't expect you to help much as a lab partner. I was a circus brat once too remember? I was thinking if we were together I could help you get through the class so we can graduate together. There will be a lot of math and terms and stuff used in here, but if we work together we'll get through it."

"Well tell your mom I said hello, I remember when she came to some of the shows to visit she always brought her homemade cookies. I know what you mean about the circus education though, Bruce had to have tutors to get me to where I was supposed to be; afterwards he just kept pushing academically and to tell you the truth I enjoyed the challenge. Tell ya what if it's cool with your mom maybe you can come riding with me one afternoon at the stables. Bruce always keeps a few horses on the property, though the only time I ever see him ride is when he has a lady friend over. Anyhow Chemistry is right down the science hall here," he said as he turned down a long corridor. "It looks like we have Professor Jackson for this one. Let's go ahead and get a seat in the back, if we're lucky he'll make us be lab partners."

I'm not sure if you know it or not but Dick eventually buys the circus his family was in. He used money setup in a trust fund by his parents because the owner gets in trouble for borrowing money from a mob boss again, which is wy his parents were killed in the first place.

"Chemistry is a blast, literally, did you know if you add mentos to a two liter of coke it will blow up; it's a chemical reaction. Now those guys just hang around me because of Bruce's money. We get along but I don't really hang out with them after school or anything. Now friends from Jump City are pretty cool. They stay busy though traveling and what not; but if they are ever in the area I will definitely introduce them to you," he said as they walked to her locker. "So are you still doing the flexible gymnastics act or did you move to the trapeze or something like that? Are you staying with family or friends here or are you in one of those boarding houses?"

"Chemistry will be fun, it's something my friends and I did back in Jump City for fun. You'd be surprised what you can do with common household items. We used to grow our own snowflakes with pipe cleaners and Borax as well as other stupid things. PE should be fun for you, seriously coming from the circus I know you'll be in pretty good shape, your probably in better physical shape than most of the girls in here. Don't worry though I'll walk you to your next class if you want since we're both in Chemistry, I mean if you can stand being around me that long." There was something about talking to Summer that put him at ease, he was rather surprised that he'd told her as much as he had already, Dick never shared like this with anyone else. Maybe it's just because they were kids together and he was feeling nostalgic. Either way it was great to see Summer again.

"I could help you with your French, in fact one time Bruce sent me and Alfred to Paris when I was having trouble with it. He had Alfred drop me in the middle of the town and left me to figure out how to ask directions and find my own way to the hotel we were staying at. He did that kind of stuff to me everyday for several weeks, in fact I got pretty good at ordering McDonald's in French though Bruce & Alfred never found out about that," he said joking. He smiled at the mention of the circus, he had grown up in the circus and had alot of fond memories there, "You know I haven't been to a circus since, well you know," he said quietly. "So listen, I have Chemistry, World History, and English Literature this afternoon, What classes do you have? Maybe we got lucky and have one together, if not I can see if I can transfer to one of your classes."

I usually focus on the main character, with Dick being who he is, he doesn't really have friends his age outside the Teen Titans. He has acquaintances and guys he knows around school and stuff but he doesn't hang out with any of them.
