Exceptional Love [Tim Drake x Reader]

[Third POV]

"Well look who's here" a voice interrupted our group conversation.

Synchronized, we all turned around to see Jaime and his group.

"What did I say? This group had an advantage" the boy I did not recognize chimed in.

He had yellow eyes, and reddish brown hair with a faux hawk hairstyle.

"Guys, meet Benjamin" Traci introduced him, with a smile and a slight energetic tone.

"He's in Jaime's class. We just met him today" Steph smiled.

Tim calls her Steph, so it should be alright to call her that.

"It's nice to meet all of you. Oh, but for short, you can use Ben" Benjamin- or Ben added with a smile.

My group smiled back, and greeted him. Each of us saying it was nice to meet him.

"You have no idea how jealous my friends were when they heard I was in a group with your friends" Ben pointed his hand to Tim.

He seemed to only smile in return.

"Good to know we're popular too" Traci joked as she nudged Steph's arm.

"Oh my friends are out! It was really nice meeting you all. I'll see you Monday Jaime!" Ben quickened his pace as he left to join the group that had just gotten out of the escape room.

"I'll see you!" Jaime shouted back, waving his hand with a smile.

Tom placed his hands on his hips, "Well he's cool" he huffed out.

"Yeah, you should see him play soccer. He's my only competition" Jaime replied with a smile.

"Ah, but you haven't played with me yet" Tom retorted with a smirk, only making me smile while rolling my eyes.

Such a competitive person.

"Then let's all start competing in several games" Steph joined in as she looked at each of us individually, waiting for approval.

"I agree" Jaime sent a smirk to Tom as if he was challenging him.

"So do I" Tom responded, not backing out.

"Fine by me" I shurgged, accepting Steph's request.

"Alright then" Tim chimed in.

"Natassia? Traci?" Steph questioned the last 2 people.

"I'm in" Natassia smiled.

"Only if we get to compete with the water gun filling up the balloon game" Traci requested as she held up her index finger.

"My favorite game" Natassia's smile turned to a smirk as she crossed her arms.

Probably challenging Traci, who seemed to accept the challenge.

In the end, I wondered how I surrounded myself with competitors.

============================

"3"

"2"

"1, Go!"

The staff yelled, and on cue our water guns turned on.

The water was hastening out which made it a bit difficult for me to hold it straight towards the target.

I tried my best to focus on myself, and focus where the water was going. But I knew I had already messed up the first few seconds of the match.

That's when in a few 4 or 5 seconds, the bell rang.

"We have a winner! Number 4!" The staff announced as he pointed to the person seated on number 4.
