Chapter 1:
"For the last time, Karen, NO!"
"Aww…c'mon Kori…just this once?"
Kori pulled away from her friend. "I told you a billion times, I HATE PARTIES!" she folded her arms across her chest and glared at her friend.
"Just once, okay? Only this time…Please?" she batted her eyelashes at Kori and pouted. "It's not gonna be fun without you…"
Kori snorted. "Right. 'Cos I'm the life of the party…" she commented dryly. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"Kooooooooooriiiiiiiii…… come on…this is your best friend's party you're missing. My party. Everyone's gonna be there…" Karen looked at her beseechingly.
"Wait. When you mean everyone…do you mean everyone? As in…playboy Grayson?" She silently prayed for the best.
Karen looked at her. "Uhm… yeah… sort of…"
She stared at Karen in surprise. "You mean you invited him?!? I thought you hated him too."
Karen protested. "Hey! Vic invited him okay? Not me…but he is kinda nice once you get to know him………" she trailed off.
Kori fumed. "Great! And how many of your boyfriend's other friends did he invite?"
"About the whole gang…" she said, not looking at Kori.
Great…Dick Grayson and his jock friends, Vic, Gar, Roy and Alain, were coming. Not to mention his cheerleader girlfriend, Barbara and her sluts, Terra and Kitten. The three blonde asses. She sighed again.
"So you'll come?" Karen asked hopefully.
"Yeah…looks like I ain't got no choice…" Kori paused. "Oh wait. Is Rachel coming?" Rachel 'Raven' Roth, was Kori and Karen's best friend ever since kindergarten.
"Duh. Would I not invite my other best friend?" she tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Hm… maybe I should invite Jenn and Wally too…"
"Oh, please do…it's not like you don't have enough people already…" she rolled her eyes.
Pretending not to hear her, Karen paced out of the room to call Wally and Jenn. Kori checked her watch. "Shit. I'm late." She rummaged her bag for paper and a pen. She hastily scribbled a note to Karen:
I gotta go now.
Said I'd pick up Ryan.
Call you when I reached home.
Love Kori. XOXO
She placed the piece of paper on top of the table, grabbed her purse and left.
