A/N: Hi everyone! This is my first chapter of my new story Gotham Academy, I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1: New School
"Kori! Unless you want to walk all the way school, I suggest you get up now!" my mom yelled.
"Ok! I heard you", I yelled back as I get out of bed slowly.
I had recently been accepted to Gotham Academy, a prestigious boarding school. I had been accepted on a full scholarship and my parents couldn't be happier.
I grab my towel and walk down the hall to the bathroom, "Komi! Hurry up, you've been there for an hour", I yelled as I kicked the door.
My older sister Komi opens the door, "Calm your tits, I was almost done", she said as she leaves.
I shut the bathroom door and turn on the shower and step in, the hot water feels good against my skin as I shower.
"Kori! Hurry up I have to pee", my younger brother Ryan said as he bangs on the door.
"Give me 10 minutes!" I yell back and continue showering; I was defiantly not going to miss sharing a bathroom with two siblings.
"I drank three Gatorade's, I'm going to burst!" he yells.
I sigh in defeat and turn off the shower; I quickly dry myself of with my towel and put on my robe. As soon as I open the bathroom door Ryan rushes in and shuts the door behind me. I shake my head and laugh I'm going to miss that kid.
I go to my room and shut the door behind me and glance at my now empty room, I had packed for weeks since I would only be coming home on some weekends. I put on my skinny jeans and plaid purple top with some black flats I had picked out the night before. I brush my hair and put in a high ponytail.
I hear a knock on the door, "Come in", I said.
"Are you almost ready?" my mom asked, "Your dad needs to start loading the car", she said.
"Yea everything is packed up", I said as I glance at the array of suitcases and trunks around me.
My mom pulls me into a hug, "Aww I can't believe my baby is leaving the nest, I wasn't prepared for this day until you were 20", she said.
I pat her back awkwardly since my arms are pinned to my sides by her hug, "17 is close enough mom", I said.
My dad walks in the room, "Oh for crying out loud, Luand'r will you stop! You're going to crush the girl", my dad said.
My mom lets me go and I mouth the word, "Thanks", to my dad.
"I cleaned out the back of the car, you all set kiddo?" my dad asked.
"Yep, I'm ready", I said.
"Great! Let's get this show on the road!" my dad exclaimed in his cheesy way.
"Wake up kids! we're here", My dad said as he pulls one of the parking lots on campus.
"Finally", I said as me and my siblings get out the car.
The campus of Gotham Academy is beautiful, massive brick-college like buildings are spread across the green grass of campus.
"Wow, this place sure does look expensive", my dad said and my mom swats his arm.
"The scholarship pays for everything Myand'r", my mom said.
"Good thing our baby is so smart", my dad said and kiss the top of my head.
"Dad", I said embarrassed, "Can you guys try not to embarrass me?" I asked.
"No promises", my dad joked.
A girl with long pink hair dressed in jeans and a blue t-shirt that reads 'RA' on it suddenly approaches us.
"Hi! I'm Kole, I'm the resident assistant for the Titans Resident hall", she said as she shakes my hand.
"Hi, I'm Kori", I said introducing myself, "And this is my mom, dad, and my two siblings", I said.
"Nice to meet you all", Kole said and Kole checks her clipboard, "Kori! Awesome you're in the Titans Resident Hall" she said.
"Um where is that exactly? This place looks a lot bigger than it did in the photos", I said.
Kole laughs, "I remember when I first came here, this place looks huge but after a couple of weeks, you'll get used to it", she said.
Kole starts giving us instructions on where the dorm in, while the move-in helpers start unloading my stuff as my dad starts barking orders.
"Here is the student life schedule of events, your welcome packet, complementary free t-shirt, and rape whistle, don't blow it, unless it's actually happening", Kole said.
I stick the whistle in my mouth, "Um thanks", I said and walked toward the dorms.
I find my parents waiting outside my dorm room, "About time you got here, we've been waiting forever", Komi said.
"It's only been like five minutes", Ryan said and Komi shots him a death glare.
"This is why I like you better", I quietly whisper to Ryan and he smiles.
My dad notices a group of guys walking down the hall, "No one told me these dorms were co-ed", my dad said angrily.
"Oh get over it, all dorms are like this now", my mom said.
I use my key and open the dorm room, the dorm room is pretty spacious, and one side of the room is empty will the other is decorated in a purple and black gothic style.
"Wow, it looks like your rooming with the exorcist that's great", Komi said sarcastically.
"Komi if you can't be nice, then I suggest you wait outside", my mom said.
Komi snorts, "Whatever, I had my eye on one of the hot movers guys anyway", she said before she leaves.
I unload my stuff off the move in chart, "Do you need help decorating?" my mom asked.
I shrug, "I think I would be ok mom, but could you and dad help connect the TV to the cable?" I asked.
"Of course sweetie, got my toolbox right here", my dad said proudly.
I smile, "Thanks, Ryan do you want to help me unpack?" I ask.
"I guess", Ryan said glumly.
I frown, "What's wrong Ry?" I asked.
He sighs, "Nothing, it's just I'm going to miss you Kori", he said, "The house is going be so boring without you", he said.
"I'm going to miss you too, Ry but you know you can call me anytime and I'll try to come home as much as I can", I said.
"Ok", Ryan said a little bit happier.
"Plus we can still plot on ways to prank Komi", I said.
Ryan laughs, "Now you're talking", he said.
My parents stay for another hour before they hit the road, "Call us if you need anything", my mom said as she gives me another hug for the 50th time.
"I will mom, I love you", I said.
"I love you too sweetie", my mom said and dabs her eyes with a tissue to hide tears.
"Be good kiddo, I love you", my dad said and gives me a hug.
"I promise, I love you too", I said.
"Bye sister dear", Komi said and gives me a half hug.
"Bye Komi", I said and hug her back.
I give Ryan one last hug, "I'm going to miss you kid", I said.
"I going to miss you to Kor", he said.
I wave good-bye to my family as the drive off, after they leave, I head back to my dorm room. As I walk in my room, I notice a girl with purple hair dressed in a black skinny jeans with a dark purple top sitting on one her bed reading.
"Um hi, you must be my roommate I'm Rachel Roth", she said.
"Hi, I'm Kori Anders", I said and shake her hand, "Nice to meet you", I said.
"Is this your first time here?" she asked.
"Yea, my advisor at my old school suggested I come here, so I applied for the fall semester and I got in", I explained.
"Cool, so what's your major?" she asked.
"Photography and art mostly, I minor in music too", I said.
"I'm an art major too", she said.
"Really? That's awesome", I said.
"Yea you want to see some of my sketches?" she asked.
"Sure", I said.
Rachel is pretty cool, a little shy at first but she is really passionate about her art and we bond over that.
A knock at the door gets my attention, "I'll get it", I said and get up to open the door.
"Hi there!" Kole said, "I just wanted to let you know that our dorm meet and greet starts in 10 minutes", she said.
"Ok thanks", I said and shut the door.
"Ugh I hate this thing", Rachel said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's basically where people in our dorm go in the common room and you know go around the room and introduces ourselves, it's so juvenile", she said, "It's mandatory, so we better get going", she said.
"Ok", I said.
I grab my key and Rachel and I walk toward the common room, we take a seat in two empty chairs in the third row.
I observe some of the students in the common room, when someone catches my eye. He's tall about 6'2 with spiky black hair, he is wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
"Who's that?" I asked Rachel.
Rachel turns, "Oh that's Dick Grayson, aka trouble, you want to stay away from him", she said.
"Wait, Richard Grayson isn't he the son of Bruce Wayne? That's him?" I asked surprised.
"Yep", Rachel said.
"I never thought he be so… hot", I glance back at Richard. He is talking to a group of guys mostly likely his friends.
"Trust me Kori, he is a total heartbreaker, last year he got 2 girls suspended", Rachel said.
"How?" I asked.
"They got into a huge fight over him, one of the girls tried to run the other over with her car", Rachel said.
"What? That's insane?" I said. I continue staring at Richard as if he feels that I am watching him, he looks over and winks and I can't help but blush. I realize that I am blushing and quickly look away and focus my attention to the front of the room. This is going to be a long year.
