7 months after the surgery, and richard had never felt better. He had recovered within the same month of the surgery and was home, healing, the next. Kori visted every day after school and brough him work that he mussed, after learning his schedule. But Richard knew he was really lucky when he would go to do it at the end of the night and see most of it completed. Damn, he loved this girl.
Kori was enjoying her newly formed relationship with Richard. He recovered faster than what was expected and through all the exercises he had to do to strenthen his new lung, he never complained and she always did what she did to help. Just things such as offering water, motivation, or sitting on his feet when he needed to do sit ups. And, never in a million years did she think that she would end up with Richard this way, especially not when he caught her stumbling up into the tree near the side of her house to get in her window. But now, he was her boyfriend, and he loved her, and she loved him just as much.
Richard had not attended school for the rest of the year. When he had gotten sick, it was in the middle of November. By the time he was ready to go back, he only had a week left in school. While he stayed home, accompanied by his butler Alfred, he studied the work that his teachers posted for him on an online connection site for students to stay in touch with their teachers. And staying home all day was boring, so of course he read through all the powerpoints and took notes. He even did all the tests, of course he would have to, his teachers were kind enough to translate them into an online version for him to take, he might as well take them. And he cared enough not to pull up any other tabs and cheat.
Kori would have never allowed that anyway. And there was no need for it. He knew almost everything there was to know on Nutons theories of motion and who actually came up with the idea of chemistry first. School was pretty easy when there was no one there to distract you from your studies. Thats why he always did his work as soon as he woke up. He didnt want to risk his work time overlapping with the time that Kori spent with him when she got out of school. Then, he would definetly be distracted. But not in any sexual way, if the doctors didnt think his lung would be able to handle walking around all day or gym period, than he definetly couldnt handle sex. He had all he needed from just talking to her, holding her, or sneaking kisses when he thought she wasnt paying attention.
But since he had entered the hospital for what seemed like the 100th time, he and Kori had been inseperable. Even though he could handle schools every day life just yet, they still never left eachothers side when they could finally get their hands on eachother. And Richard knew he was one Lucky Boy.
