Chapter 1: First Day

A small girl of five years old walked into the small room. He red hair in pigtails swayed as she moved nervously. She watched as the other little kids in the room frolicked and played with a series of toys that were laid out in front of them.

"It's ok Kori, go ahead." The girl's mother motioned. Kori looked at her mother nervously and saw as he mother gave a smile. Kori again looked forward and saw as a tall young woman came up and greeted her mother.

"Hello, I'm Ms. Honeydew. I'll be Kori's pre-school teacher for the year. I'm sure that she will have a lot of fun here." Ms. Honeydew said smiling a friendly smile.

Kori again scanned the room and watched as little kids played. After a short conversation with Ms. Honeydew, Kori's mother said goodbye to her daughter and hurried off to work.

Kori watched as her mother got in her car and drove away. Ms. Honeydew looked at the little girls expression and knelt down beside her and patted her red head.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright." Ms. Honeydew said flashing a sweet smile and walked over to a tall man in the doorway who had a small little boy with black hair that was spiked up. Kori sighed and sat in a nearby seat alone.

"Hello Mr. Wayne!" Ms. Honeydew said and drew her attention to the little boy. "And who do we have here?" she asked.

"This is Richard Grayson. Seems like he's an orphan. I'll be taking care of him." Bruce Wayne said. Ms. Honeydew smiled a smile at the little boy and bent down to his level. Richard looked at the teacher without emotion.

"Doesn't talk much." Bruce pointed out.

"You'll have a lot of fun here." She said sweetly. After a short goodbye, Richard too went to a table and noticed Kori in a nearby corner, but went on and sat with some other kids. But, he couldn't help but stare at the little red haired girl for a while.

Later that day, it was recess and everyone raced out into the playground to play. Kori approached another girl with blonde hair.

"Want to play with me?" Kori asked nervously. The little girl looked at Kori and just walked away. Kori sighed and sat on a nearby bench and looked at the ground and wished that her mother had never gotten a new job so that she could move to a new town and try and make new friends.

"Look! It's the freak!" a fat kid pointed at Kori. The other child next to him laughed.

"I heard she's an alien and came from another planet!" Another kid mocked. More children started to pitch in on the mockery and even threw some of their empty milk cartons at Kori. Sadly, Ms. Honeydew was busy listening to a walkman while grading papers and couldn't hear the mocking laughter that was bestowed on poor little Kori. When Kori was just about to burst into tears, when a little boy broke into the crowd.

"STOP IT! You are all mean! You should be the ones that are weirdos! I don't care what you say! She's nice! Now go away you clowns or….or I'll tell on you!" the little boy warned. All the little kids stared at him as if he was crazy, but didn't want the risk of getting in trouble so they all backed away and went off to play. The black haired boy then turned to Kori who was no where behind him. He then noticed some sobs and crying from behind a corner of the building and followed them, which led him to a sad Kori.

"Hello?" he called out. Kori was huddled into a corner and was crying her eyes out. The boy went next to her and sat down. He then took out of his pocket a small tissue.

"Here, don't cry. Those were big meanies anyways." he said. "They're big clowns."

Kori looked up and gave a little giggled as she took the tissue. The little boy smiled.

"Thank you." Kori said through little sniffles. Again, he smiled.

"You're welcome. What's your name? You have pretty eyes and hair." The black haired boy asked

Kori sat down and faced him. "Kori. Kori Anders. What's your name?"

"Richard Grayson." He replied and smiled. "Want to go play hopscotch?"

Kori sighed. "They're going to make fun of me again." She sobbed. Richard frowned.

"Not if I'm around." Richard said and offered his hand. Kori smiled and gave him a hug.

At the end of the day, it seemed as if Kori and Richard did everything together. They were even inseparable. When it was time to leave, Kori turned to Richard as he mother waited for her at the door.

"Will we always be friends?" Kori asked. Richard smiled.

"Yep! Friends Forever!" Richard said as he gave her another hug.

Kori waved and walked off with her mother.

"So how was your first day? I see you made a new friend." Her mother said. All Kori did was nod and smile.

"Today was the best first day ever!" Kori chirped.
