Summary: AU. Anybody who's somebody in Jump city high knows that Richard and Kori are school friends and school enemies. They'll do anything to help each other but the'll also get each other in trouble too. Why? Well you'll just have to read to find out...

Richard Grayson: Always top in every class along with Kori. Claims that he and Kori hate each other and always teases her but will do anything he can to get her out of serious trouble. All in all he secretly likes her.

Kori Anders: Top in every class along with Richard. Loves teasing Richard but doesn't do anything to get him seriously in trouble. She secretly likes him but covers it up by pretending to hate him.

Raven Roth: Friends with both Richard and Kori but is more closer to Kori. Likes Garfeild but doesn't show any emotion what so ever unless she is with Kori ALONE. Knows that Richard likes Kori and vice versa.

Garfeild Logan: Friend with both Richard and Kori but is most close to Victor. Treats both Richard and Kori fairly when in an argument unlike Raven who always sides with Kori. Knows that there is something going on with Kori and Richard.

Victor Stone: Mutual friend. Knows that there is something going on between Richard and Kori and always tries to pry it out of Richard when their alone. Likes Bee but hates the nickname she gave him.

Bee: Nobody knows her real name because she insists on being called Bee. Always trying to make Kori confess that she likes Richard. Annoys Victor by calling him 'Sparky'.

The name 'sparky' originated in mechanics class when Victor insisted that she was fixing the wrong parts together and when he tried fixing it...he electrocuted himself. Since it was only them two (out of all his friends) together in that lesson he begged her not to tell them and she said she wouldn't tell them on one condition...that she got to call him sparky. Victor never touched her work again claiming that it was Jixed.

Chapter 1

"Damn!" Richard swore when his alarm rang...again. His alarm had been ringing for 20 minutes but he wasn't paying much attention, he was supposed to be going to school with Bruce's car. But it turned out that Bruce had left 20 minutes ago for an unexpected meeting.

What a bloody coincidence.

Bruce had always been trying to get him to do things on his own, but he had told Bruce at least a million times that Alfred was going to drive him to school in his limo over dinner, but all he did was nod and drown back into his newspaper.

That was doing something. That was telling him that Alfred was going to take him to school in his bloody car! He swore again and scrunched up Bruce's note in his fist, then, realising that standing there like an idiot wouldn't help, he ran to the bathroom. Richard came out 5 minutes later, grabbed his school bag and gave himself one last look. He was about to turn back but what he saw made him stop dead in his tracks. Out of the corner of his mirror he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen walking down the road.

It was Kori.

Richard could have guessed that with his eyes closed.

It was the way she was walking, it was like she was seperated from the whole crowd, not that there was a crowd, everyone was either at work or at school, but even if there was a crowd she'd be seperated from it. She was wearing a short as in SHORT mini skirt that would have made any other girl look as though she was trying too hard...but on her, it looked perfect. She was also wearing a black loose, lacy tank top. All in all she looked like a supermodel. She must have noticed someone was watching her (probably because she was used to people staring at her) because she turned around. And he was met with a pair of jade eyes.

Kori's heart leapt up to her throat with the sight of him. Richard had this casual handsomeness to him, with his school bag hung loosely from his right shoulder, wearing jeans and a black T-shirt. He was staring at her with a look that said that he approved of what she was wearing. A lot. Kori rolled her eyes towards the heavens. Any other time she would have been glad that Richard was looking at her like that, but today, they were both getting late. She pointed at her watch. At first he looked confused, but then he must have realised what she was trying to say because, before anyone could have said run, he was out of the room. She could of swore that she saw smoke coming out of his shoes. She sighed and shook her head. Why did she fall in love with a guy that was so annoyingly cute.

Richard groaned and bent over and clutched his stomach while trying to catch his breath

"We...had to...live in...the biggest...hill in...Jump City" He spat out with disgust. Kori grinned, only her and Richard out of the whole school lived here, everyone else lived arout 5 minutes away from the school maximum. It wasn't their fault, it was because they were rich, their fathers were the managers of enormous industries and they just had the great fortune of being their children.

"If we don't hurry up we'll be living in the biggest detention room in Jump City. We've got maths first remember?" Kori put her hands on her hips, a sign that she was impatient. Richard groaned again, their maths teacher Mr. Slade HATED him and would go at any lengths to put him in detention...or even exclude him. Richard groaned again and stood up straight expecting Kori to grab him and start running but she was peering of into the distance

"What happened to your car anyways?" Richard accused

"Limo" she corrected automatically. It had always been one of their traits, they loved correcting eachother, once they had even gone into a full length debate about wether limo's should be called cars or not. And since people were hungry and the teachers had to lock the classroom for lunch, they had to stop the argument. But they still brought it up when they got bored of agreeing with eachother.

"I still think they should be called cars" Richard muttered under his breath. As usual she ignored him

"How long do we have to get to school?" She asked. Her voice was distant, as it always was when she was thinking.

"5 minutes" Richard said anxiously jogging on the spot

"mmm..." was all she said. Richard was sweating. She seemed to be calculating something. Richard twitched. If there was anything he hated, it was not knowing what was going on, and now, he definately didn't know what was going on. She checked her watch. Richard ran in circles ruffling his hair and twitching occasionally. This was why he hated suspence films. After a few seconds of silence he finally cracked

"WE HAVE 4 MINUTES TO GET TO SCHOOL KORI!" He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and started counting to ten. He opened his eyes again

"Okay, since you're finished counted up to ten" she snapped. She'd always hated the 'counting up to ten' thing, it never worked, atleast for her it didn't. "I think I found a short cut" She grabbed him by the arm and dragged him into what looked like a forest. Most people said that it was haunted. He grinned in spite of being dragged. At least she was wrong about one thing.

He had only counted up to five.

Hey dudes, here's the first chapter, please tell me what you think! And if you're anything like Richard you won't be able to handle the suspence.

Read and review people!

One clue about the next chapter: The place is haunted...but NOT by ghosts. Is it a friend or a foe?

P.S: The haunted place just adds up to the exciting plot I have lined up for you guys, it isn't the main theme.

Bye!
