Bad Reputation (Stargirl verse) Drabble
(Stargirl verse)
As the new school year begins, Artemis has grown into liking Jade seeing her as a sister figure. The brunette athlete had received phone calls from her parents as she has asked the famous question, ‘When are you two coming home again?’ Both of her parents said that they’ll be home soon. She sighed in frustration and trying to keep her spirits up.
The ebony-haired Vietnamese woman had grown attached to her little sister and noticing how down she is since both of their parents won’t be back home anytime soon. Jade would have a fun day with Artemis on the weekends while helping her little sister with Hockey and training for Football in the summertime.
Months have passed by going into mid-May.
Artemis is on the Hockey Team being the leader, of course, is fighting against Summerville High and while in the midst of playing against them. One of the players or a couple of players from the other team heard told Crock about her parents are really arrested because they’re criminals and the crimes that they’ve committed. This pissed off Artemis to where her blood boiled and channeling her anger to take out and defeat Summerville which lead Blue Valley to win 4 – 2.
Jade drove to the parking lot waiting for Alice to get out. Her gray hues look to see the young teenage marching towards the car with a serious look on her face, “Oh crap.” She said under her breath and sitting up in her seat.
The Athlete reached the car opening the passenger side door, getting herself in followed by throwing her duffle bag at her feet, and closes the door behind her.
“Everything alright there, Alice?” The Vietnamese woman asked as she shifts her body to face her.
Artemis closed her eyes as she breathes in then out a couple of times. The brunette teen tried to compose herself to calm down and opened her eyes to face Jade, “Cheshire,” She called her by the woman’s nickname then continues, “Can you please tell me the truth about my parents? Because the Hockey Team from the other school just told me that my parents are in prison because they’ve committed a crime. That they did robberies and killings that listed back since the eighties or something like that.” Artemis was getting her frustration out and pleaded with Jade to tell her the truth.
‘She’s a sweet kid. Way to go Mom and Dad for not telling Artemis the truth!’ Jade mentally commented in her mind as she looks into the same pair of silver eyes. “It’s true. All of it.” The ebony-haired woman admitted the truth without denying anything. “Which one of these little punks said all this to you? I’ll be happy to teach them so damn manners.” Jade vowed as she was ready to pounce on a kid to whoop his or her ass.
Artemis shakes her head not wanting Jade to get involved and paused for a moment, “It’s nothing.” She said under her breath then smirk. “But it scared the hell out of the other team. I could use my parents’ bad reputation for Blue Valley to win this hockey system. No other team wouldn’t dare to challenge me to a fight or anything.” The brunette teen said with pride.
‘There’s Dad’s spirit right there.’ The Vietnamese woman commented in her mind and smiles seeing the teenager being preppy. “Good choice. Come on my little archer, I’ll treat you to some Frozen Yogurt and yes it’ll be fat-free.” Jade replied to rewarding Artemis with a victory snack knowing she would reject frozen yogurt unless it was fat-free.
Next day at Blue Valley High…
The brunette teenager is in the cafeteria meeting catching up with her friends who are guys and teammates with whom she can get along. All four of them were talking about this past weekend’s Hockey Tournament knowing they only got a leg up because of Artemis’s parent’s reputation.
“What? You think it’s cool to have your parents locked up in prison?” The Vietnamese teenager asked being serious as she walked with her friends leading the way.
“Come on Artemis, you know what I mean,” Travis said not meaning what he meant.
“It is, scares the hell out of the other team,” Artemis commented with confidence and a smile rosing to her lips then walking backward with the hockey stick in her hand. “My parents did these so-called robberies. Some Bonnie & Clyde Robberies way before I was born. Someone set them up.” The brunette commented as she vowed to use her parents’ reputation for the Team to win.
All three athletes were walking as they stopped mid-way to see Jerome walking up to them.
Artemis turns around to see what her friends were looking at seeing. Their other teammate and friend, Jerome walking towards them. She sees from her blind spot seeing they’ve stopped at Courtney Whitmore’s table. The brunette looks directly at Jerome turning the hockey stick than next thing she knew Artemis was flipped a three-sixty to the ground by the blonde attacker. “What in the hell are you doing Whitmore?” seeing the hockey stick above her head and shoving it away. Artemis gets herself off the ground being face to face with Courtney.
“What in the hell are you doing?” The curly blonde teenager asked being serious holding the hockey stick in her hands. It reminded her of Sportsmaster’s weapon.
“I was giving the hockey stick to Jerome you blonde pinhead!” The brunette teenager replied being pissed off as she rips the weapon from Whitmore’s hand and giving it to her red-headed friend. Artemis leads the way by leaving the Cafeteria knowing her teammates are following her concerned about what just happened.
