Chapter 1
It was a cloudy day in Jump City; the dark grey clouds overhead set a gloom over the city. It was cool due to it being overcast and very windy. The trees and bushes bent to the will of the wind. Kori Anders looked out of her bedroom window to the omniscient sky above.
Just another day in paradise she thought to herself as she turned away to get ready for the school day ahead. I guess my outfit will not work today, oh well. Kori went to her closet to pick out something different than her original outfit of a black mini skirt and purple tank top. She pulled out an emerald green V-neck shirt that matched the color of her eyes exactly, blank skinny jeans and her green converse. While putting everything on she decided to put her waist length auburn hair in a messy pony tail knowing the wind would destroy it in a matter of seconds. Walking over to her dresser she accented her almost glowing emerald eyes with black eyeliner, mascara and a neutral tone of eye shadow. Stepping back and giving herself a once over in her long mirror attached to the back of her bedroom door she decided she looked pretty good, grabbing her favorite hoodie she made her way downstairs for breakfast.
"Kori! Kori! You have to try the blueberry pancakes mom made for breakfast!" Her little brother Ryan was jumping up and down in chair pointing as the stack of blueberry pancakes in the middle of the dining room table.
"Alright Ry, but you have to sit down first!" She answered him chuckling at how excited he was for their mothers cooking. Being only five Ryan was always excited at everything and questioned anything he did not know. Kori thought he was the cutest thing because she had that kind of personality already. They got along great, always playing games or explaining anything he did not understand. He was quite an intelligent four year old. She also had an older sister Koma but they did not get along as greatly. Koma Anders was jealous of her little sister for in her eyes stealing their parents love and attention away. Kori just wanted to be a good little sister and looked up to her older sibling. Now that Koma is in college she rarely visits anymore so Kori stopped trying to please her sister.
"Kori, Ryan hurry up or you will both be late to school!" their mom called from the kitchen where she was cleaning the dishes from breakfast.
"Yes mom" answering in unison the two siblings ate their breakfast quietly. Kori's mother Luan Anders looked nothing like her youngest daughter and son. She had midnight black hair that went the length of her shoulders and her eyes were a glimmering violet color. Koma Anders was the daughter that took after her mother with the same exact look. Their mother though was very loving and caring, never picking or choosing favorite child. She is always trying to provide as much as she could for them while making her children appreciate the importance of hard work and manners. She was also a doctor at one of the most prestigious hospitals in Jump City.
"Now Kori, I have a present for you before you leave for school." Her mother said as she came around the corner of the kitchen into the dining room. Kori's birthday was not for a few weeks but her mother thought this present couldn't wait that long.
Kori was now hanging on the edge of her seat waiting for whatever her mother would say next, trying to think of the many things she might get in the next few seconds. Her eyes lit up like a kid at Christmas seeing all the present for the first time under the tree, she was practically bouncing out of her seat.
"First, you have to be careful with this present." Her mothers' voice became stern; Kori just nodded wanting so much to know what it was now. "I'm serious; if you are not careful I will take it back as fast as I got it." Kori realizing her mother was not playing around sat up straight and looked her mother in the eye trying to give every ounce of trust and concentration she could muster. "Of course mother" she answered.
"Okay, well here." Her mother tossed something in the air at her daughter and kori quickly snatched it out of the air with no problem. She looked down at her hand to see a pair or keys. Looking at them a minute she noticed they did not look like car keys, pulling her head back up to her mother that was standing there with a smile on her face and arms crossed leaning against the wall she motioned her head towards the garage.
Getting up from the table Kori quickly sprinted to the garage door that was attached to their kitchen. She was beyond excited, she didn't know what kind of vehicle she was getting but anything was better than riding the bus with Kitten's group of snobby popular girls that hated her. Opening the door and turning the light on Kori couldn't believe her eyes at what was parked before her next to her mothers' A7 silver Audi. A YamahaYZF-R6 in all its glory and Kori almost knocked her mother over with a bear hug at the sight of it. Kori always rode around on bikes and even took motorcycle classes and got her license just for the fun of it. She loved the thrill and freedom they gave her, she would never have thought her mother would actually buy her one. Now she had a 2013 all back with red rims R6 all to herself.
"I can't believe it! Mother this is most amazing, thank you so much!" Kori hugged her mother once more squeezing life out of her.
"You're welcome dear. I know how much you hate riding the bus to school and I did not think a car would suit you as well. Although I have my reservations about this, I do trust you to be safe with it. If not you know I will take it away." Her mother looked Kori in the eye and gave a small nod before giving a quick hug to her daughter.
"Now, go or you will be late for school. I will take Ryan today." Kori looked down to her younger brother with his mouth agape drooling at the magnificent piece of machinery before him. Her lips twitched up into a small smile at the sight of her brother.
"Perhaps Ryan would like me to take him to school today…on my new bike?" at the sound of Kori's words her brothers ears perked up and eyes shined at the opportunity. Jumping up and down before his mother Ryan begged to be taken to school by his sister.
"Alright, fine. Just be careful you two!" Their mother agreed finally. Kori and Ryan jumped at their mothers' agreement and hugged her one last time before running into the garage. Noticing the bikers' jacket and two helmets on the garage counter Kori turned back to her mother and smiled.
Donning her helmet and black jacket Kori handed her brother his helmet. Hers' matched her bike black and red, his was a dark grey. Making sure it was on tight and secure they climbed onto the bike.
"Ryan, make sure you hold onto me tight alright?" she called back to her little brother that looked way to small on the bike she saw him nod. With that confirmation she felt his arms wrap around her waist and squeeze hard. Turning the bike on and shifting it into first gear she took off down the road to Ryan's Kindergarten school. With her little brother on the back of the bike she followed the laws and never sped well maybe a little but not enough to get caught or endanger her brother.
Ten minutes later and she pulled up to Jump City's Kindergarten for the Gifted. Her mother thought Ryan would do well in a school that started teaching the younger kids the basic fundamental skills one on one by teachers and for his age Ryan was doing very well and learning fast. As Ryan slid off the bike Kori got a glimpse of the schools sign and the little writing just under the schools title. It read: Now Funded by Wayne Enterprises. She inwardly groan at reading that name, Bruce Wayne was the wealthiest business tycoon in Jump City and the biggest playboy. He had an adoptive son named Richard Grayson that went to Jump City High with Kori, and he followed in his step father's footsteps.
"Grayson" Kori growled the name out of her mouth a sneer coming to her face at the thought of the rich playboy. He had a different girl every week she saw him which unfortunately for her was often since she was dating his best friend, Xavier. Even though she thought Richard was a very attractive guy she would never admit it to anyone out loud. His raven black hair was always spiked up and honestly looked extremely good to Kori. He had the most piercing bright azure blue eyes she'd ever seen that caught her attention without her wanting them to. He had a muscular build that any women would kill to get their hands on. Although many have-
"Kori!" Her little brother was calling her name from where he was standing next to her and the bike.
"Oh, I am sorry little brother. Have a good day at school and I will pick you up later." She winked at him with her last few words while he smiled and ran off to his teacher that was waiting for him at the door. Once last look to her brother running away she put the bike in gear and took off down to Jump High. This time going a little faster and relishing in the speed of her new bike.
She made it to school in record time, weaving in and out of traffic like it was nothing. Pulling up to the schools motorcycle parking spaces she put the bike in neutral, flipped the kickstand out and leaned the bike on it and making sure it was secured she turned it off and pulled the keys out. Taking her helmet off Kori sat there a moment and looked at her surroundings. Just one look at Jump City High School and you knew it was a richer school, the two story beige concrete building was topped with a half glass half solar panel roof. The architecture of the whole building was very modern, straight square lines, steel railing and accents everywhere, spiral staircases on all four corners of the building and a long red brick walkway lined with trees all the way to the front door.
She was pulled away from the school building by the distinct sound of another bike coming up next to her. She didn't even need to look over to see who it was; only one other person besides her now rode a motorcycle to school. She instinctively scrunched her nose up in disgust. He had better not ruin this for me…
She never knew what kind of bike he had, since the money was available to him to customize it. He did so. It looked like hers but anything he could change he did. It was mostly red with black accents here and there, the opposite of hers. What she took note in was that he had a silver "R" emblem on the side fender. She rolled her eyes at the sight of it, no doubt in its meaning of Richard.
"Well, Anders I didn't know you liked me that much." His silk voice was being muffled while he pulled of his helmet and looked over to her with a smug smirk on his lips while his azure eyes danced with confidence. She took in the sight of him for a moment, his raven spiked hair a tad messed up from the helmet along with his black jacket and blue jeans, Kori couldn't help but think he was most definitely the hottest guy in the school but quickly shoved that thought away with a shake of her head.
"Don't flatter yourself Grayson. It was a birthday present." She shot back cooly turning back to the sight of the school now being overrun with students socializing with their friends and crushes. Closing her eyes for a brief moment she sighed and leaning down on the bike she hauled her leg over and hopped off. Kori snuck a glance at the handsome figure next to her that did the same as she and was now standing fixing his hair.
"Didn't even know you could ride." He commented without looking at her walking around in front of her to inspect her new motorcycle.
"There are a lot of things you do not know about me, Dick." Not liking him being anywhere close to her no matter how hot he was she resorted to his nickname hoping to get him to back off a bit.
"Well now Kori, isn't that a shame?" He stopped looking over her bike and turned his attention to her emerald orbs. Taking a step closer to her his voice lowered "and what did I say about calling me that?" his sly smirk back on his lips which Kori barely noticed as she couldn't take her eyes away from his. Never being this close to him before she noticed the faint smell of fresh mint and clean cotton. No doubt from his clothes but she also caught his cologne that a definite manly musk to it and couldn't help but breathe it in.
"Hey Grayson! You seen Kori?" a deep male voice called from behind Richard which made Kori jump. Richard gave a low chuckle at that and not liking that he was laughing at her Kori scrunched up her nose at him and stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah, she's right here X." before turning around Richard winked at Kori and in return she gave a light blush that did not go unnoticed by him.
Quickly gaining her composure again, Kori shoved passed Richard and walked up to her boyfriend Xavier. If Richard was the hottest guy in school then Xavier would the second hottest guy there. With the exact same body build as Richard, Xavier had dark golden brown eyes and short spiked dirty blonde hair.
"Hey babe, what are you doing over here?" he asked as his strong arms engulfed her in a hug. Looking up into his warm golden eyes she smiled buried her head into his chest.
"I got an early birthday present" she mumbled through his shirt and lifted her hand to point at her new bike. Xavier let out a low whistle.
"Damn babe, that's sexy." He said as he examined the sleek and shiny new motorcycle. "I bet you look sexy on it too." He put his hand in the crook of her neck and pulled her lips to his without warning. Kori's eyebrows shot up in surprise at this suddenness and force of the kiss but didn't pull away. He was her boyfriend after all, but his hands started roaming her body and that made her uncomfortable in public. Actually, it would have made her uncomfortable wherever they were but even more so now.
"Hey X, save it for later." The gruff voice came from behind Kori, she jumped a bit and broke out of Xavier's hold, not realizing how close Richard still was. She turned around only to be met with a cold stare from the once soft and beautiful blue eyes. She withered under his stare, becoming flushed and completely embarrassed she couldn't meet his eyes.
He must think I am sleazy now… she couldn't help but think, along with wondering why she cared what he thought of her in the first place.
"What Grayson, jealous that I got one of the hottest girls in school?" Xavier sent back with a cocky grin on his face.
Richard only scoffed as an answer and walked off toward the school entrance. Kori was taken aback by his response thinking that he really thought nothing of her and it affected her more than she thought it would.
"What's his problem?" Xavier mumbled under his breath watching Richard as he walked away while putting his arm on Kori's shoulders. "Well, come on babe. Let's go." He started walking and pulled her along with him. Kori still stuck in her thoughts on the complicated Richard Grayson.
Let me know what you y'all thought. I really don't know where this is going, just kind of writing and hoping it turns out good. It already deviated from my original thoughts. Lol. Anyways until next time.
