"speaking"

Rachel's P.O.V.
Jesus, Kory. You might want to get that stick out of your ass? It might do a little good. I stormed down the hall. I don't even know why I am upset with Kory Anders, but…She acts so condescending, like she is so much better than me. Why is she doing peer counseling? I wish—I thought as I then ran into someone and I stumbled and fell to the floor.
I cursed and struggled to pick myself up. That fall had hurt like a bitch. Stupid idiot could have at least stopped to help.
"Well, well, well Roth."
My eyes grew wide. Oh, fuck. I know that voice. That's—
"Roy, hello. How are you this fine day?" I smirked, knowing that name pissed him off like nothing else.
I was still looking at the floor. He's probably looking angry, rolling his eyes, acting all macho, pretending to be Mr. Hot Stuff. I looked up at him, putting on as much attitude as I could muster.
"Fine, Rachel," he said, still looking amused, but his eyes looked angry that I had run into him. He wouldn't be able to get too mad at me though. His friend Robin had him on a tight leash, and luckily, I was a friend of Robin's. Well…friendly acquaintance, maybe.
I smiled innocently at him. "What do you want, Speedy?" I asked, putting as much emphasis on his "name" (Name, yeah, right. For a mouse, maybe) ashe had with mine.
Ugh. I hate him. If Robin wanted to talk to me, he could have come himself. Or maybe Robin didn't send him. I don't think Speedy listens to Robin anyways. Thoughts were speeding through my head as I folded my arms.
"Relax, Rachel. Wonder Boy didn't send me," Gee, mind reader much? "And I don't even know why that thought would cross your mind." He frowned, his eyes narrowing. "If it did," he added.
He thought for a second and then said, "You were the one who ran into me, anyways. Where are you coming from in such a rush? Who stuck a stick up that nice little butt of yours?" He smiled, cocking his head to the side and looking me up and down. He was such a pervert, like most guys at that school.
I really need to control my anger better, if Roy "Speedy" Harper can read my emotions like that. "Peer counseling," I all but snarled. "With Kory Anders."
Spike stiffened, his back straighter. I noticed and smirked. "What? Know her?" It was too good. I could completely tell that something was up with him. Maybe they dated?
"Who doesn't know Queen K?" he sighed. "She used to date Robin."
Kory and…Robin? Wow, never heard about that one… Speedy and I began to walk down the hall, talking about Kory and Robin.
"Yeah, the Boy Wonder used to date her. They were really into each other, too. But then…" he trailed off without finishing. I knew what he was going to say.
"Toni," I finished for him. He nodded. "She and Jade told him that Kory would just break his heart. Stupid idiot believed them. He broke her heart." He jammed his hands into his black leather duster, continuing to walk forward sullenly, and that's when I began to suspect something.
Nah…couldn't happen…he's totally loyal to Jade…"Speedy?" I said slowly. "Did you like her?" I smiled, thinking I was catching on to something. He ignored me, which made me almost positive I was right.
Oh my God. Speedy and Kory. That's just gross. "No offense, but you and Kory dating would be like…Karen Beecher turning gay. Completely out of the question." I licked my lips and rubbed the back of my head. "Especially with her boyfriend hanging around."
Spike had a confused look on his face. "Kory has a boyfriend?"
I prayed to God for patience, and it didn't work. I decided to just hit Speedy on the arm instead. "Not Kory, dumbass. Bee!"
"Oh, right. I dunno 'bout Bee, though, she could be playing for the other team…" I looked up, startled and relaxed when I saw the amused spark in his eyes.
"Geez, you made me think my analogy was out the window," I complained. "I would have had to come up with a new one!"
"Awwww. Poor Rachey," spoke a new voice. Whipping around, I came face to face with—
"Babs," Speedy said right back. "So nice to see you. Or, actually, not."
Barbara Gordon didn't grimace a bit. "The feeling's mutual," she smiled and then looked at me. "A freak and a loser. Awww. You guys would make a great couple," she said with fake saccharin sweetness.
"Uh huh," grunted Speedy, looking bored. "That would be great. If I didn't have a girlfriend."
Barbara practically pranced by us and then stopped, turning around. "Oh, right, I forgot. You and psycho-girl."
Spike growled. I put a hand on his arm to calm him down. His arm was rock-hard. Boy, that guy had muscles. "Let it go," I advised. "At least you have a girlfriend. Babs here can't stay with a guy for more than a week.
Babs's smiling face then turned into a slight scowl. "Whatever."
We all walked in silence until we got out of the school. I spotted Robin and Jenny talking on the grass. Jennica Lehman was really smart, but kind of annoying, in my opinion. She had an attitude the size of the whole USA, and apparently was a shoplifter. Also, she smoked so much pot, it was like she had a death wish, which is why some people called her Jinx. Cause she was a jinx to be around? Get it?
Babs scoffed. "Loserpalooza. I'm gone." She went the opposite direction.
"I dunno why Robin's even friends with her," complained Speedy about Jenny. I hit him. He glared at me, rubbing his arm.
"She's nice." I defended Jennica because she was nice to me, even if she was a complete pothead and was probably a juvenile delinquent. However, I'd done my share of junk. I probably shouldn't be judging, should I? I quit though. I had enough crap to deal with already.
Speedy growled and followed Babs, so I approached Jenny and Robin alone. I got there in time to hear Robin finish up his complaining session.
"…so he keeps trying to bust me. Even if I'm not doing anything."
Jenny put a hand on his arm. "Hey, he hasn't caught you yet, right?" She was smoking, surprise, surprise, and had a textbook in her other arm.
I sat down next to Robin. "Who hasn't caught you yet?"
"Officer Wilson." He looked disgruntled. Wilson, Wilson. Where have I heard that name?
"Oh, Rose's dad."
"Yup," said Jenn. She took a long drag and coughed.
"You know those things are gonna kill you." I told her, patting her on the back. She looked at me. "But…you got any pot?"
I sighed. "She's hopeless," I told Robin. He nodded. "You must have a death wish," I concluded.
"You must too, if you're staying out after five when you're grounded," commented Robin. I looked at my watch. 4:52.
"Damn! I'm grounded!" I wailed. "I forgot! I gotta get home!" I got up and started sprinting, leaving Jenny and Robin sitting serenely on the grass behind the school.
-end-
Well, that's all.
