Kori's POV

I sat on the edge of my bed, holding a picture frame in my hands that normally sits on my bedside table. The picture is of me and an old best friend I haven't seen in 5 years. We're both 10 in the picture, at my house holding up a creation we made out of Plato together. We re so happy, so happy to be together... but who is this best friend you may ask?

Well none other than the Richard, or "Dick" as others call him, John Grayson.

When I was thirteen my parents died while visiting our small home country of Tamaran. I was forced to go and live with my Uncle Galfore and two siblings. Now being 18 and a senior, my Uncle is dragging us to Jump City. My sister Com, or Chamile, is at college in New York, so it will just be me and my younger brother Ryan who is 13. We are moving to Jump City today for my Uncle's job.

I wouldn't be holding this picture right now if I hadn't heard the news. It seems Richard and his father Bruce got into some argument, making Richard move to Jump from Gotham. Apparently he's living in some estate Bruce owns there, I should be excited right? Well I'm not, I haven't talked to Richard since I left.

I didn't keep in contact with him for a reason, a good reason. Right before my parents died he began changing, and not body wise. At school he kept spending less and less time with me while he kept getting more and more popular. I was not the prettiest girl in school, I was extremely tall, thin, and being foreign, I just look completely different and have a slight accent. My hair is an unnatural shade of bright red while my skin has always had an orangish hue to it. My eyes are an unusual shade of green and seem to almost glow. All of that coupled with acne and braces you get not so pretty.

Having grown, I am now taller with womanly curves. My red hair reaching down to my bottom and no more bangs for me. Also my eyes have become brighter and greener than before, and I thought it wasn't even possible. Honestly I don't look bad, especially now with no more acne and braces. I have perfect teeth and flawless skin to accompany my other features.

I'm a nervous reck now though because I will be transferring to the same school as Richard. Obviously it's garunteed I will see him, but I don't know if I want to. Ever since I was a little girl I've had a crush on him, but I never knew how he felt, or what he feels now. I still like him, probably lobe him, but now I've heard he is the "playboy". It is hard to hear that someone you used to know so well and loved has changed so much.

"Kori! Are you all packed?" I hear Uncle Galfore call from down stairs. I call Uncle Galfore K'norfka because it is Tamaranian for guardian, and he is now our legal guardian. Plus it is a sign of respect in Tamaran, something of which I have very deep for my K'norfka.

"Yes K'norfka Galfore!" I call while I put the picture, the very last thing left to pack, inside a box.

New life here I come...


We pull up in front of our new house in Jump City. Taking three days to drive here, I'm so glad to be able to get out of this moving truck following us and parking right behind our SUV. I look at the house and see that it is decent in size with two floors. It has a finished basement, 4 bedrooms, and 4 baths my K'norfka tells Ryan and I. Also the house is a nice tan/beige color combination that looks, well, normal.

Getting out of the car, I walk up the path and few steps into the house. I look up and around, taking in my surroundings. The living room is a light grey color that has an open kitchen and dining room. There are two sets of stairs that lead up to the bedrooms and down into the basement. Making my way upstairs I walk into my new bedroom. It is surprisingly large with it's own bathroom attached and a balcony. Of course I will be painting this room purple, it is my favorite color. Ryan has the room the furthest from mine at the end of the other hall while K'norfka Galfore has the room next to Ryan. Looks like I get this whole hall to myself, yay.

I make my way back downstairs and to the moving truck, picking up boxes of my stuff. After carrying several boxes up to my room we carry my bed frame up. Then my matress, bookshelf, and dresser. Finally, after having everything in my room I begin unpacking and arranging my things.

K'norfka Galfore stands in the door way and asks me "Do you need any help unpacking Kori?"

Looking over at him from where I'm moving my rug, I shake my head and say "No K'norfka Galfore, I am quite alright. Maybe Ryan requires the help though."

"Alright, but get sleep soon my little bumgorf" he says as he smiles and walks away towards Ryan's and his rooms.

Smiling, I laid down my lime green shag rug on the hard wood floor. Moving my bed around, I rested it on top of the rug. I rested my hands on my hips and inspected my handiwork. Finally, all of my furniture was in place and it looked pretty good. I dug through a box full of clothes and looked for a pair of my pajamas. Finally I found my pajamas and picked out a purple tank top with matching purple shorts. Putting them on, I climbed into my bed and settled under the covers.

Tomorrow I had a lot more unpacking to do and I would be going to school in a few days. I had a lot to prepare for, and worry over. This is going to be one hell of a year.
