'Class, we have a new pupil joining us today. Her name is Terra Markov. I want her to settle down well, and not make any enemies. Kori, I'd like you to show her round, and take care of her please,' Miss Arnold informed her class of 9F.

Kori, a young red head with vibrant green eyes stood up and walked out of the class to find Terra. Terra was a blue eyed blonde, who seemed very nervous, and didn't appear to like showing much skin off. Whereas most girls wore skirts and chemise tops, she wore trousers and long sleeved jumpers.

'Hey, my names Kori Anders, I'm going to be showing you around JCH boarding school,' Kori informed the blonde.

Terra made no reply but smiled all the same.

Kori linked arms with Terra and led her to her first lesson.

Terra had settled in well over the past few weeks, and was getting on best with Kori. They were best friends already, and spent all their spare time together. Kori knew Terra's biggest secret, and Terra knew Kori's.

This week was their week off, where they were free to leave the school grounds.

Terra had begged Kori to go to the beach with her, but found it extremely hard to persuade her. After two days, Kori gave in.

Jump City's beach wasn't the best, but if you live there, you'd think it a wonderful beach.

Kori noticed the popular gang there, and instantly wished she hadn't given in.

Her on/off relationship with Xavier hadn't left her with much confidence with the gang, and to be honest, seeing as Kitten was there, she'd rather run a mile.

'Err…Terra,' Kori murmured.

'Yeah?'

'I don't think we should really be here.'

'Why not?'

'You see that gang? They're the most popular gang in the school. I have an on off relationship with one of the guys. See that blonde? Her name's Kitten. Her "daddy" gives her anything she wants, when she wants. The green haired little dude? Garfield. Really funny…sometimes. The dark skinned soccer player, Viktor. Smart guy, he thinks of me as his little sister. Then there's the two dark haired boys. The one with the sunglasses is Richard Grayson. Kitten is obsessed with him, and he hates her. The other guy? That's Xavier. The guy I'm kinda dating. Notice I said kinda,' Kori told Terra.

Terra raised an eyebrow, 'I still say we should go, and I really think you should start talking to Xavier, and make sure you get a steady relationship with him.'

Kori smiled, and allowed Terra to pull her onto the sand.

Terra stripped down to her bikini and ran straight into the sea. Kori started sunbathing in her bikini, when Xavier came over to her.

'Umm…hi Kori,' he said timidly.

'Hey, X,' she answered, still with her eyes closed against the beam of the sun.

'Mind if I join you?' he asked, a little more with poise.

'Sure.'

He sat next to her and took a deep breath, 'Kori, I've been thinking…and…out on and off relationship…I want it to stay more stable, but I want us to be more than friends.'

Kori's heart skipped a few beats.

'So…do you want to be, like, boyfriend and girlfriend…and stay like it?' Xavier managed to choke out.

'Okay,' was all Kori could manage.

'Awesome!' cried Xavier, sweeping her up in a quick kiss before skipping off…oddly giddy.

Terra swam out deeper, smiling to herself at being able to show her skin again…she couldn't before…not with what he done to her…

NO.

She can't think about that…not now…not ever.

Someone tapped her on the shoulder, and she snapped out her reverie. Before she could see who it was, that person had pulled her under and planted a tender kiss on her lips. Whoever done it had left swiftly, leaving Terra dazed.

She glanced around the beach…there was only one person missing…

Richard.
