The Year Before

Rachel Roth was walking down a hallway with her two closest friends, Kori Anders and Karen Beecher. While Kori waved to everyone and Karen smiled, Rachel gave no credit to them. She had her nose in a book. Kori had long, red hair, bright green eyes and had a tan skin tone. Karen had a light brown skin tone, warm brown eyes and dark brown hair. Rachel had pale skin tone, violet eyes and short, black hair. All three girls where in 11th grade.

As they walked down the hallway, Karen glanced at Rachel and saw the book she was reading.

"Um, Rachel?"

"Yeah, Karen?" she replied, not looking up from her book.

"It's the last week of school and your nose is in the book you bought in December."

"So? This book has action, romance and a girl who can handle a bow."

Karen glanced at Kori who coughed and said "Um.. Rachel, is something bothering you?"

Kori, who moved here in 2 grade, along with Rachel, had a accent which was clipped.

Rachel looked up from her book and glanced at her friends. "No, Kori. Everything...everything is fine."

"Oh. Ok!" smiled Kori.

Suddenly, something covered Rachel's eyes. She rolled her eyes, which no one saw, and said "Garfield, get your hands of my face. NOW!"

"Aww!" replied Gar, as he uncovered his best friends eyes. When Gar uncovered Rachel's eyes, she saw Dick Grayson and Victor Stone. While she blinked, Kori glanced at her.

What if something was troubling her?, Kori thought. If something is wrong, i will be always grateful to support her.

"Kori?" Dick snapped his fingers in front of her face,

"Hmm? Oh, Dick. Sorry, I was.. i was thinking." She said

"No, it's fine. Really." He blushed as Kori smiled at him.

"Well, let's get to lunch. I'm starving." Victor said

"Sure." Gar agreed "But don't be shoving your gross meat in my face."

"Gross? No, my friend. Your tofu stuff is super wrong. Right, Rachel?"

She gave no reply as she was reading her book.

"Karen?" He asked

"Um... sorry Gar, but I have to agree with Vic on this one." She gave Gar a small smile

"Ugh! Tofu is not gross." Gar rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at Vic

"Keep telling your self that, green bean"
