There's an unspoken rule that no one sits next to Conner on the way to any football game. He likes sitting alone, and no one is really sure about what to do when they sit next to him anyway. The minute they board the buses, he heads for the seat at the very back and sits next to the window, staring out of it until they reach the stadium, saying nothing to nobody. It's better this way, they all think. They won't have an angry Kent on their hands, and they won't have to do deal with the awkward situation of a bus partner who won't even look at them.
This game was just like any other. Conner was the first person to get on the bus, and without fail, he made his way to the back and sat in his seat. The other members of the football team and some of the cheerleaders filled up the front, none of them paying any mind to Conner, used to him sitting by himself. It wasn't until they heard the voice of the new girl, Megan Morse, that they turned and looked.
"Hey, is anyone sitting here?"
There she was, standing next to Conner's seat, oblivious to the shocked looks that everyone was giving her. Conner turns away from the window to look at her, unsure what to make of what she asked.
Megan smiles.
Conner's face doesn't soften, he just shrugs and says a quick no. She says a quick thank you and sits down next to him. Everyone else on the bus has grown silent. They can hear everything Conner and Megan are talking about.
Or rather, everything that Megan is talking about. Conner doesn't respond much, or at all. Just a shrug of his shoulders, if barely that, but that's enough for Megan to keep on talking. She talks about everything, from school and homework to books and television. Conner is not looking out the window through out the entire bus ride. He just faces forward, his eyes on Megan.
And everyone else still has their eyes on them, unsure about what to make of this. Some of them are starting to whisper, wondering if there is anything going on between to the two, or if it was really just that easy to sit next to Conner. Before they can say anything more, a look from Conner tells them that he heard everything they were saying.
They're quick to turn away and start conversations about something, anything that wasn't Conner and Megan.
And at the very front of the bus, Dick Grayson holds a hand out to Wally West, who glumly places ten bucks in it.
Wally swears that Dick rigged this somehow.
Dick laughs.
Kaldur Ahm sighs and thinks that this is going to be the start of a very long football season. He hopes that he can keep Dick and Wally in line enough so they don't cause too much mischief, but who knows with those two. He takes a swig from his water bottle and just focuses on the game.
John Smith feels the need for a drink growing.
Conner and Megan are oblivious to what everyone else is doing now.
"Oh! And have you seen that show 'Hello, Megan!'?"
"... No."
"You should, it's my favorite."
NOTES:
Conner is a linebacker, Megan is the new girl in school and a cheerleader, Dick is a kicker, Wally is a running back, Kaldur is the quarterback, Red Tornado/John Smith is the school guidance counselor and football coach.
Artemis and Roy are Sirs not appearing because they had an archery contest :U
