We Started a Story Spring. (Jan 2010 Renamed: You never Knew.)
I didn't know whether to use Gotham or Jump city so I decided to make Jump city a city of Gotham.
Disclaimer- I do NOT own Teen Titans, all credits go to DC comic and Glen Murakumi (however you spell his name =S) I DO however own most of the italic sentences in the beginning of each chapter, those that are not mine I will write where I got it from, I will name the ones I wrote, the ones without a name is anomynous, meaning I heard it from somewhere, and I will leave it blank.
Chapter One
New beginning= suprises.
Someday, somewhere, by chance, we'll meet again.

I never thought I would be back here, once again. To start over and take a breather from everything that was happening. The sign 'Welcome to Jump City, Gotham' greeted me as I drove into the city suburbs. I was back, at Jump city, and I wondered if the place would welcome me. I fingered a silver locket that dangled around my neck, while my other hand was preoccupied with the steering wheel. With only one thought in my head, after all these years, the same questions had been on my mind.
I wonder how he's doing, If he still lives here, is he happy?...
I sighed, Jump had changed since I left, and now I'm back, I wanted to start a new life here, or carry on my life from where I left it, and I start by joining high school. ''Jump City High School", prestigious school for the rich, powerful and famous; which means most of the people there are going to be utter snobs. But I don't know that yet.
Oh wait, I haven't introduced myself yet. Let's have a quick summery of my life events up till now.
My name is Kori Anders, I lived in Jump City since I was 3 years old up until I was 11, then my family ordered for me to move back to Tameran, My father is Grand Ruler there. Yes, meaning I am Princess of Tameran, I have an older sister, Komina Anders, I get along with her, we're very close, but she can be a bitch sometimes, and older brother, Ryan Anders, I'm really close with Ryan, so he was upset when I decided to move back to Jump, the truth was, I couldn't take it anymore in Tameran, it was a broken nation along with a broken family, everyone saw me as Princess Koriand'r, not Kori, I felt as if I wasn't myself, there I wasn't me, I didn't do things for me, I was doing them as a princess, and doing them for others. I felt as if I was suffocating, locked in a cage, I had to get out of it. And then something happened. Bad things started to happen and I had to escape.
This was a new life, a new beginning, who knows what surprises will come…
I arrived upon a collosal school titled 'Jump City High School' and parked my car at the parking area. I made my way to the reception and knocked on the door of the office and I walked in, I was greeted by a lady who welcomed me warmly, her nameplate identified her as Mrs. Smith.
"Urm, good morning, I'm the new student here and I was told that I was supposed to come to the reception? And I don't have a schedule."
"Ah you must be Kori yes? Kori Anders, yes let me just check you in and here's your schedule" She replied in a deep southern accent as she typed away at the computer and handed me a sheet of paper that she had just printed which had my schedule; the sheet was still warm from the machine.

"Thank you" I looked down at my schedule and saw my classes, for Monday, and it was 11:26, I was supposed to be in 2nd period now, English, which was in SE16, I looked at Mrs. Smith "Urm, where is SE16?"
"Oh, SE16 is in the South Wing of the school which is in the south part of the school which is over there." she pointed out the window to a far off tall building "Here let me give you a map, once you enter the South wing, turn to your right and walk down the hall, take the first turn right and keep walking, you should see a sign that says 'English block' and from there on there will be classrooms with signs" she described giving me another sheet of paper that had the whole of the schools buildings on site, it was pretty…gigantic, I saw where the reception was on the map, and where the south wing was, it was in walking distance. I thanked her and walked out of the reception
I kept walking following the map, I seemed to of got lost, the school was so big it was like a maze, I was lost in my thoughts when I felt someone crash into me, causing all my papers to fly and folders to drop, and cause me to fall flat on my backside, I looked up and saw a Afro- American girl; she was pretty, nice figure, she had chocolate brown skin, nice apple green eyes, and dark brown afro hair that was in two neat buns,
"Sorry, didn't see you there." she apologised picking up all my papers and handing them to me
"Thanks, and its okey."
"Kori Anders." she said looking at my schedule "New girl right? I haven't seen you before."
"Yh, I just came today, and I'm a bit lost, please, can you tell me where SE16 is in the 'South wing'?"
"Hey, that's where I'm heading to, it's my English class! I'll take you there." The girl said helping me stand up
"I'm Karen by the way, Karen Beecher, but you can call me Bee."
"oh, okey, thank you Karen."
She took me to the south wing, it wasn't very far, I was close, and we walked into the class that said E16
"Beecher, why are you late to my class? Again?" asked a tall lady
"Sorry Miss. Morgan, I was helping a lost new kid, which is her" Karen pointed to me and I saw about 30 or so pairs of eyes staring at me, I felt uncomfortable and held my folders close to my chest, they were ample, but not overly big, I knew that the boys were looking at them.
"Oh, you must be the new student, Kori Anders, Thank you Karen go sit down, come here Kori." Miss Morgan motioned me to her, and I did so.
"Class, this is the new student Kori Anders, she just transferred here from Tameran, Kori dear, why don't you go sit next to…Karen and Rachel." she told me, and pointed to an empty seat, I nodded and walked towards the seat, I felt eyes staring at me, and quickly sat down. Karen was on my right, I smiled at her in which she returned, and a another girl was on my left, she was a Goth and had pale ash skin and violet hair that was cut to her chin and beautiful violet eyes that complimented her pale skin, she was small, but her beauty compensated for her lack of height.
"Hi." she greeted in a monotone voice
"Hi." I replied to her meekly giving her a shy smile
"My names Rachel, Rachel Roth."
"Oh, hi Rachel, that's a good book, he's a good poet." I said pointing to her book that she was reading, it was Edgar Allen Poe.
"Really? I think so too." she replied, she seemed slightly happy, although her monotone voice still the same
"Rae likes that kinda stuff." Karen said
"Bee, just because you're one of my best friends doesn't mean you can call me Rae."
"Aww come on Rae, I let you call me Bee."
"You let everyone call you that." Rachel said, I chuckled slightly at her comment.
"Hey, Kori, if you want, me and Rach can show you around I you have almost all the same classes as us, and you have classes with some of our friends as well, so you don't have to feel…alone or anything like that." Karen said looking at my schedule, I smiled happily and nodded.
"That would be most wonderful, thank you."
"Don't mention it." Rachel replied, not looking up from her book, still in the same tone, her consistant expression kinda scared me.
Rachel took me to History, while Karen had Geography, she led me to my seat and introduced me to 2 other people, Victor Stone or just 'Vic' and Tara Markov, Victor was very tall, handsome, and had an athletic build, he was Afro-American, bald and the same colour skin as Karen and had brown eyes. Tara on the other hand was small, skinny, and blonde but she had a pretty face, they were both very nice. Class started and I still felt uncomfortable, there was a lot of staring, I sighed, it was going to be long day, but it was good because I made so many new friends already, and I learnt so much about them already, like, Vic was a computer genius and could hack any computer and crack any code and great machanic. Tara was really into geology and wanted to be a futer geologist or volcanoist. Karen was really into fashion and Rachel was really into gothic stuff and literature.
At lunch, Tara and Rachel led me to a table, I saw Vic and Karen and 5 other people there, I instantly noticed a guy with jet black hair and dark sunglasses and somehow had this odd mutual feeling, like he felt familiar or something.
"Who's the newbie?" Asked a guy with carrot red hair.
"This is the new student that transferred here today." Rachel said in her monotone voice.
"yh, her names Ko…" Karen began but she was interrupted
"Kori? Kori Anders?" the guy with jet black hair and dark sunglasses asked in shock as he stood up.
"Urm…Do I know you?" I walked towards him, He took off his glasses and I saw a pair of beautiful cerulean eyes, his eyes were watery, I gasped, my hand on covering my mouth, I knew I recognized this guy, and I could never forget him or his captivating eyes.
"Rich… Richard…Richard Grayson?" I barely managed to say, I raised my right hand to his face, and he held it with his, I was so in shock, and so were the rest of the people in the cafeteria.
"I can't belie… is it, really you?" I stammered, I couldn't speak, but before he or I or anyone else could say anything I was engulfed into a warm strong hug, I hugged him back and I felt my eyes water, it was all so emotional.
"It's me, it's really me, oh Kori I've missed you so much." we stood in that position for about a minute not caring about anyone or anything else.
"Urm… you guys know each other?" Karen asked, in shock and breaking the silence, and the hug.
"Yh, we've known each other since we were 3, it wasn't until you were 11 that you moved away, right?" Richard explained.
"Yh." I replied
"you left so suddenly, you didn't even say goodbye, I was so worried." Richard look at me with sadness in his eyes, he was unbelievably handsome even with tears in his eyes,
"I'm sorry, I didn't know either that we were going to go, I woke and I found myself on a plane, I…" I couldn't say it anymore, sadness overwhelmed me, it was like as if someone was pouring all the waters in the pacific ocean in to one tiny cup;
"you still have that?" Richard asked smiling slightly pointing to my locket, it was a pair, one for him and one for me, he had it specially made for my 10th birthday, I've worn it ever since, it had our pictures inside it.
"I've kept it on every day" I replied, smiling, I noticed he wore it too "so have you."
"Yh" He chuckled, and he embraced me in a secure hug again, it felt so warm and I felt safe with him.
Was the beginning of this too rushed? I wanted to drag it out a bit more, but I didn't know how to form it. This is my first attempt at writing a fic so... Yeah...
Leave a review and tell me what you think =)
