Flawless Smile
Okayz. I'm back in the fanfic business. I couldn't update my fist story… it's been months! I'll start fresh with this new fanfic. Hope you guys like my comeback.
Chapter 1
Kori sat beside her small window. She sighed. School was starting tomorrow, she was 17 and wanted to be on her own.
Summer was like a long night of partying. Richard had been inviting them to bashes and trips to all partying places.
There was a knock on her door. It was Rachael Roth, her closest friend, literally. She lived next door and always came when she sensed Kori was unhappy or uncomfortable.
"Hey." Raven smiled.
"Rachael! How do you always know when to come and comfort me?" She giggled. It was the first laugh she had today.
"It's been a tiring summer… and well school is going to be even more tiring, not to mention Ms. Alvarado. That Spanish teacher creeps me out"
Kori led her in and smiled.
"Correction, I came at the wrong time today so that means I don't always know exactly when to comfort you. But at least I'm right next door."
Kori took out some biscuits. "Hungry?"
"No"
"Okay, sure" Kori bit into one.
"Why don't we grab some decafs at the café?"
"Well, yeah sure. I don't feel like drinking my coffee right now."
Kori took her black sweater. She looked at it and remembered when she and her secret crush, Richard knitted it together.
"Kori?"
"Mm?" Kori daydreamed again.
"Are you ready to get going?"
"Uh yeah, sorry."
Both of them walked out of the apartment and took the stairs instead of the elevator as usual.
"Rachael… have you and Gar made it official yet?"
Raven turned and looked at her. She raised an eyebrow, "No, why?"
"Nothing, I'm just being nosy." She laughed.
It wasn't a torturing walk down because they were on the 2nd floor anyway. The 1st floor was in renovation so they had to take the back stairs.
"Mr. Wong just wants his old and moldy apartments to look like five star hotel rooms… well how is it a five star looking hotel when your shower mixes cold water and hot water?"
Raven smiled. As they exited through the back door Kori noticed last month's issue of Celeb Talk with Richard and his girlfriend's picture on it. She sighed.
Does he even know I care about him?
Ever since he met her he became this rich snob…
Wait a sec he's been a rich snob his whole life.
She was angry that he just left her broken.
The café was just a few blocks away and they both didn't mind.
As they walked in, the café seemed a bit empty.
"Hey you guys!" A familiar voice chirped.
They turned around. "Karen?"
"Kori! Rachael! How are ya?" She squeezed them.
"Karen… it's only been about 48 since we last seen each other"
"I know Rachael! But it's a bit to lonely here. I got a job here and well seems like no one's really going to come today."
"Funny, it's usually full of rich jerks on Sunday" Kori sighed.
"Rich jerks? Kori are you still upset about Ri –"
"Hey Karen, Rachael… Kori" Garfield grinned. "Have you met my pet bunny yet?"
"I am not you're pet bunny! It was a dare that was supposed to be ended an hour ago! Man, you just had to use super glue and tape!"
Karen giggled. "Victor… you look…. Dashing"
"I thought today was double dare Victor into wearing a dress and dance ballet" Raven giggled.
"Why don't we have some drinks together, since we're all here?" Kori smiled.
Look at them. Their all cute couples…
Pause.
Stupid conscience! I hate Richard remember?
Of course you don't.
What?
I have got to stop talking to myself, Kori.
You are attractive to him!
"NO I AM NOT!!"
Everyone stared at Kori.
"I'll get you chamomile tea… is that okay with you?"
Kori nodded, she was partly in daydream land.
It was 10:00 PM when they ended the fun and conversations. Rachael and Kori walked back to their apartment.
"Have a good sleep, Kori" Rachael smiled and closed her door.
Kori walked into her apartment. As spic and span as usual. She lay on her bed thinking about what surprises would pop out tomorrow.
Maybe he'll dump that Amelia girl?
No, Kori. Didn't you read the cover of the mag?
Yeah of course I did: 'Gotham's Mr. and Mrs. Grayson'
Why did I let myself fall for him?
He said he loved me. He said I had this … flawless smile.
