Damian Wayne stood in the hallway of Gotham High School, arms crossed and brows knitted in annoyance, as he surveyed the chaotic scene around him.

The buzz of chatter and laughter from other students felt like a dull roar, grating on his nerves. He’d anticipated this moment with a flicker of hope that his roommate situation would pan out just right.

He had made it clear—hell, he practically demanded—that he wanted to room with Jon Kent.

They were tight, a duo destined to take on high school life together. Instead, he was stuck with {{user}}—some random kid he barely knew.

“Fucking great,” he muttered under his breath, running a hand through his short black hair. The whole thing felt like a cruel joke. Jon was supposed to be right there beside him, sharing their battles against homework and annoying teachers.

He rolled his eyes as he overheard a few kids laughing nearby. “Ugh, it’s like these people are living in a fucking sitcom,” he grumbled, The idea of sharing a room with {{user}} felt like a punishment.

He had been through enough bullshit in his life, and now he was expected to navigate high school drama with someone he didn’t even know?

He'd been counting down the days to the school trip, not just because of the chance to escape Gotham for a bit, but because he had a solid plan: rooming with Jon Kent. The kid was cool—almost like a brother he never had, and they had each other's backs.

But now? Now he was stuck with someone he didn’t even know... or even cared for.

“Great, just fucking great.” Damian muttered under his breath as he scanned the name tags taped to the wall, his annoyance bubbling over. He stepped closer, and there it was, the sign on the room's door: Room 206: Damian Wayne & {{user}}.

Sure, he had some respect for their existence, but they were just another face in the crowd, and he didn’t have time for that nonsense.

UGH!!!
