Butterflies fluttered in Kori's stomach as she walked into the Health Sciences building. This should be an exciting moment for her; college is a big step however she felt like she was going to vomit. She continued past the Starbucks stand and down the hallway until she came to the door of her classroom. She stood there, trying to muck up the courage to open the door.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to open the door?" A deep voice behind her said.
Kori whipped around to see where the voice came from. She found a man about the same age as her with jet black hair and deep blue eyes. She couldn't help but notice how his t-shirt hinted at the muscles that lie underneath.
"Well?"
He asked again, breaking the spell that he had cast over her.
"Umm sorry, I guess I was just kind of working myself up to it.." Kori sheepishly said.
"Ah you must be new. I know the feeling, that was me last year. The name is Dick Grayson." He said as he stuck his hand out.
"Kori Anders." She replied giving his hand a good shake.
"Wow quite the grip." He teasingly said as he shook his hand out.
Kori could feel her cheeks burn and quickly looked down hoping he didn't notice.
"Well class is about to start, you can sit next to me if you'd like." Dick said.
"Thank you, I actually feel better going in there now that I'm acquainted with at least one person." Kori replied back.
She actually did feel better, she still had butterflies in her stomach but it wasn't from the nervousness. They seemed to dance more every time she looked at Dick. After a few heartbeats she noticed that she had been lost in thought and Dick was already heading into the room. She quickly caught up to him and followed him down the steps to their seat in the middle of the room. They were early so there seemed to be only a few people in the classroom. Looking at the room, Kori realized that instead of a plain classroom, they were in a theatre. The semicircle room centred around a podium where the professor would speak.
Dick noticed her looking around and smiled. This was his opportunity to really look at her. Kori was tall and thin, but not in a bean pole kind of way. He could tell she has muscles and her body was toned. Kori had long tan legs that went on for miles and he was embarrassed to admit that for a split second he thought of what they would be like wrapped around him. Her hair was long and ruby red, he liked the way it curled in at the ends and seemed to frame her beautiful face and upper body. Dick was blown away by her eyes when she first looked at him. They were a stunning green that reminded Dick freshly budding leaves after a long dreary winter. Dick was pretty sure he could see into her soul by looking into them, every emotion she had at the moment played through them.
"She looks like the kind of girl who wears her heart on her sleeve." Dick thought to himself.
He continued his assessment on Kori, next looking at her face in general. She had a heart shaped face, with a skinny nose that had a slight upturn at the end. It fit her face really well. Her lips were pouty and full but not so full that they looked like fish lips. They looked completely kissable and Dick found that he actually wanted to try it out. He finally noticed that Kori was staring at him
"Umm sorry, did you say something?" He asked, giving her a sheepish lopsided grin.
Kori laughed and Dick felt his grin grow.
"Sorry for interrupting your thoughts Richard, I was simply wondering if class was late, there aren't a lot of people in here." Kori said, giving him a thousand watt smile.
"No this is probably just a small class, not a lot of people tend to take child development I guess. Why are you in this class?" Dick asked.
Kori smiled at him again "Well, I have always loved working with children and I hope to become a pediatrician. Why are you here Richard?"
"You know, you are one of the few people who have called me Richard." Dick noted.
"Oh I'm sorry, I will go back to addressing you as Dick then." Kori quickly apologized.
"No it's fine, I actually like it." Dick said while pulling her face up to look at him to show that he really meant it.
There was something about the way she said his name that made him feel like he was about to go weak in the knees.
"Well if you say so. So Richard, you never answered my question." Kori said with a smile.
Richard grinned back, "I actually want to go into pediatrics as well." He replied.
Kori's face lit up
"No way!" She almost screeched and quickly looked embarrassed at how loud she was.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be so loud." She giggled.
"Where are you from? I swear I hear some kind of accent." Dick asked.
"I was actually born here in Alaska however I spent most of my life in Canada. Most people don't think they have an accent." Kori chuckled.
"Well you just say a couple of words differently, I think it's cute." He smiled at her.
Kori blushed and looked down
"Thanks." She replied.
It was like her brain shut down when Richard said that, she felt as giddy as a school girl. Dick noticed the slight blush to her cheeks and smiled. It was nice to see that he could get a positive reaction out of her. He opened his mouth to ask her more about herself when the professor walked into the room.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Professor Lewis and this is Child development. Now I want everyone to get to know the person next to you because they will be your partner for the semester. I will be giving each partner and code and a website where you will have a virtual baby. After each chapter we discuss you will go onto the website and answer a series of questions. I'll give you an example. In one of the first chapters we will go over, we will talk about co-sleeping. I want you to weigh on the pros and cons and decide on if you want to co-sleep with your baby or not. Each answer you give will impact how your child develops. I want you to write a short essay on why you picked you specific answer. Now since you guys have partners, you'll have to come to mutual decisions on how you raise the baby. As the semester continues on, your baby will turn into a child and at the end they will become an adult. At the end we will see how your child has developed and your final paper will be on weather you think you made the right choices. Now does anyone have any questions?"
No one said anything so she continued saying "Great, now why don't you take a moment to get to know your partners while I get the smartboard up and running."
Dick turned to Kori with a grin "Now I know we just met and all but I think we would make beautiful babies, care to be the mother of my cyber child?"
Kori laughed and blushed.
"Why I would simply love to." She teased right back.
"Now, since we have a child to think about, I think we need to exchange numbers." Dick said with a bold smile on his face.
"Why Richard, I agree do you have a piece of paper I can use?"
Richard took the paper out of his notebook and watched and Kori wrote her number on it. She gave it back with a smile and Richard folded it up and stuck it in his pants pocket.
"That's my cell so you can go ahead and call anytime." She said with a smile and Dick felt his heart flutter.
"I'll keep that in mind." He grinned back at her.
"Alright looks like everyone has become acquainted now if you could all open your books to chapter 1, we can get started." Professor Lewis called out.
Dick and Kori both had a hard time taking notes like they were supposed to. Their thoughts kept drifting back the person sitting next to them and before they knew it, class was over and they were supposed to head up to the Professor to get their code.
"Names?" Professor Lewis asked.
"My name is Dick Grayson and this is Kori Anders." Dick answered for the both of them.
"Alright, I have you recoded as partners and here is your code. Tonight, you won't have to answer and questions but I want you to go home and pick a name and input your photos. The program will combine them to guess at what your baby could potentially look like. If you have any questions my email and phone number are written down on your packet that explains the project. Have a nice week." Professor Lewis finished with a warm smile.
Dick and Kori exited the theatre talking about how the baby could potentially look like. They continued walking and talking and before they knew it, they were at Kori's car. Dick opened the door for Kori which made her smile
"How chivalrous of you Richard." She teased.
"Only the best for the mother of my child." He teased right back.
Kori smiled "Well I have to go but like I said, give me a call anytime."
"Sound good, ill talk to you later." Richard said and he reluctantly closed the door.
He watched as Kori pulled out of her spot, she looked over at him and gave him a little wave which made Dick grin and he waved back. When her car was out of sight he jogged over to his truck and got in. Dick started it and began his drive home, never did he stop thinking about that beautiful red headed woman and he couldn't wait to call her.
Kori stat down at her desk and turned her computer on. She needed to unwind and there was only one thing that could do it. She clicked on the icon of her favourite game and entered in her username and password.
"Ah! World of Warcraft, how I have missed you." She said to herself.
Kori scrolled over her favourite character, a blood elf, shadow priest named Starfire, and clicked. The screen loaded and when she logged in she noticed someone in her friends list logged in as well. They had been in a random group together once a year or two ago and decided to add each other since they seemed to work together well. They liked to call each other their WoW best friends and told each other everything. There was something nice about opening up to someone you don't really know, they didn't have a biased opinion and usually told you the truth.
Starfire: Sup Wingz! Great minds think a like hmm? ;)
Nightwing: haha I guess so. How was your day?
Starfire: it was great. I started my first day of classes. How was yours?
Nightwing: woot! Looks like you're in the big leagues with me now! I started classes as well today
Starfire: oh fun fun. I think I'm up for some battlegrounds. You?
Nightwing: sounds good to me
They played for an hour before Kori decided it was time to log for the night.
Starfire: well, nice job wingz but I'm afraid I need to call it a night I have some homework to do.
Nightwing: thanks star, I have to go too, I have some as well but for once I'm actually looking forward to it. Night star!
Starfire: Good night wingz!
Richard logged off of world of Warcraft and went to grab himself some dinner. He needed some time to work up the nerve to call Kori. Richard wished he could have talked to Star about this but they just got so into the game that they didn't have a chance.
"Oh well, I'll just tell her next time I see her on. Maybe she can help me work up the nerve to ask Kori out" Dick chuckled to himself.
It was going on 6:30 when Richard worked up the nerve to call her.
"Well looks like it's now or never." He said out loud and began to dial.
