Chapter four - 'ello luvs

Arlo settled in really quickly, within the next hour all of her stuff got shipped to her new bedroom, including her rainbow sketchers, thank god. She spent the next few days at home, resting her head and arm (bet you forgot that she got injured huh) but soon enough it was back to school. Nothing really changed at school, but arriving in a helicopter made quite a spectacle. Everything was fine, Arlo was living in pleasant misery, that kind where everything is fine until you are in bed alone and it's 3 am, that's when she remembers the fact that her parents have gone missing and there's nothing that she could do to aid finding them. Everything was fine that was, until Arlo had found out that Nick (from big mouth) had changed schools without telling her, in fact it was done without contacting her at all. He hadn't responded to any of her texts and calls for the past two weeks. It took 25 texts for him to respond, then he replied with:


- New phone who dis?
What?????? It's me Arlo,,, why haven't you called me??? You switched schools without telling me?????-
-ohh yeahhh....
- meet me on Sunday at Lego park, 4pm. we need to talk
-swag I'm out 😎🤪 xx Nick from the hit Netflix show, Big Mouth xx


That conversation made Arlo considerably upset, it was only after she bet Robin at uno five times in a row that she felt better. Shame she couldn't really confide in someone, Robin didn't feel like someone she could be sad with, and she barely saw Batman. Her room was in the Bruce Wayne part of the house and he mainly lived in the Batcave, he was also always busy fighting crime so she only saw him in the mornings or at night. Arlo didn't really like staying up late anymore, her concussion meant that she would often go to bed really early.


Arlo's favourite part of the house was the piano placed right infront of a giant window that covered the whole wall, which was right down the hallway from her bedroom. Arlo loved music especially the piano, she had one herself, but it has to be sold to keep her parents second-hand store afloat. She would try to play the piano everyday, but it's difficult not only with two fingers but also only with one arm. On the Sunday morning she woke up to the clinking sounds of a piano knowing damn well that no one else in the house could play shit. The person continued to play piano as Arlo change and left her room to eat breakfast. It only stopped as she entered the piano room, the man looked up at the girl walking down the hallway, entering the room (rich people like open housing) and she finally saw who it was. Holy shit. It's Harry Styles. "'Ello love, yew must be Arlo, Brucey has told me a lot about yew" "h-hi" Arlo just stood there, awestruck. "C'mere Brucey told me that yew could play the piano innit?" "Yes, but I can't really play right now" she looked down at her cast. "Well how abou' I be your other arm" Harry smiled. They played a couple pieces together, It was the most fun that Arlo ever had. After they finished playing Harry said "now, I really could go for a cuppah tea, how about yew show me the kitchen?". They walk to the kitchen and Arlo turns on the kettle while Harry sits down on the, extremely long and extremely empty kitchen island. "How's life been for yew love, based on what Bruce said, it sounds like you've had a tough two weeks" Arlo tentatively sat down next to him, she wasn't sure how open she should be with him. "Well, I really want to break up with my boyfriend, we've been having a lot of communication issues" oh cool, straight out into the open, nice one Arlo. "Ah, well relationships can be hard, do what ever yew think is right luv, just remember that yew can't take anything yew say back, be honest and firm with what yew say, so that yew don't regret anyfink". "Thanks Harry" Arlo looked up from her little Lego feet to meet his eyes, his advice didn't help much but it did make her feel better about it. "Now where is my buddy Brucey" Harry started to look around. As soon as he did, there he came "Harryyyyyy" Bruce Wayne strutted in wearing a red nightgown "good to see yah" "'ello my billionaire friend" he stood up and greeted Bruce by kissing him in both cheeks. "are you here for more driving lessons pal?" Bruce asked "why absolutely, I need to get better at driving innit" "well then let us go shall we". They linked arms and skipped out of the room. Arlo was confused to say the least, but she took a deep breath and finished her tea. From the distance she could hear Robins shouts of greeting to Harry.
