Author's Note: I'm so sorry about the update time. I recently moved halfway across the country so my life has been complete hell, but I'm trying to start writing again. My girlfriend picked this story for me to work on first so here you go! Enjoy. ;)

Third POV
"Kori, you're going to kill me."
"I am sorry, I am just so nervous."
Flashing her what Rachel hoped was a comforting smile, the goth eased "Really, it's no big deal. It hurts for like, thirty seconds and then for a few minutes after and then you're fine."
Kori looked at her warily, eyeing her piercings, before replying "You promise?"
"Yes, I promise."
It was currently a cold November afternoon. The wind was freezing and the beginning signs of winter were fast approaching. All four of the gang were in the Gotham City Mall, and they had split up after going a few places together. Kori had decided that today she wanted to get her ears pierced for the second time. She had been envying the other girls piercings for a while, so she finally made up her mind to get more. The redhead claimed her ears were pierced when she was a baby so she didn't really know what it felt like. It was just going to be in her ear lobe beside the others, but still she was nervous.
Practically holding her breath, Kori stayed perfectly still as the woman marked her ear lobes with a purple, washable marker. "Do you like where the marks are? They look even?" the woman asked, handing Kori a small hand held mirror.
"I believe so" she murmured, looking at her ears from different angles as her stomach twisted with nerves, "What do you think, Rachel?"
The goth took a step back and looked at her, trying to fight back the same damn flush that always cursed her whenever they made eye contact. "Yeah, they look good to me."
Kori nodded and gave the woman back the mirror. She had already picked out her earrings, two tiny stainless steel stars. Anxiously, she waited and tried to remain still as the woman prepared the ear piercing gun. Rachel watched her with a smile, giving her hand a squeeze and happy that it made Kori smile and relax some.
"Alright, you're gonna feel a pinch and a noise by your ear but don't worry that's just the sound of the gun. I'll do this side first and then the other, okay? Sound good?"
"Um, yes" she said, looking off into the distance as she tried to prepare herself.
Then there was an explosion of pain in her ear and what sounded like a sickening crunch, but was relieved to know it wasn't her bones. Not that there were bones there anyway, but still. After a few seconds it ebbed down and it simply ached. Kori let out a breath she hadn't known she had been holding as Rachel grinned. Huh, not so bad.
"You're doing great, Kori."
Smiling at her friend, she was much more prepared for the second ear and it didn't phase her as much. Once that was done and she was happy, they went to the cash register to pay and Kori thanked the woman and took home with her some ear cleaning solution. Rachel grinned at her, looking over the new metal in her ears.
"It looks really nice."
Kori flushed and gently touched the new studs, trying not to wince at how sensitive they were as they walked through the mall. "Thank you, Rachel, for taking me to get my ears pierced."
Smiling, Rachel bumped her shoulder saying "No problem."
They walked together with a few more moments of silence before Rachel asked "Why stars?"
"In Tamaranian my name means star, and I do the liking of them."
"Well, looks like I just found you a new nickname" Rachel smirked, laughing when Kori playfully rolled her eyes, "now come on, let's go find Dick and Jason before they ditch us."
"Agreed" Kori nodded, before linking their arms together and walking them towards the food court where they had agreed to meet back up in half an hour.
Again, Rachel flushed but willed it down as she allowed herself to be pulled along. It was a Saturday, and she was happy to be out and about with her friends. In fact, she was having a lot of fun. Except, in the back of her mind she kept thinking about how she didn't just think of Kori as a friend. Oh god, how was she gonna tell Kori that?
Rachel legitimately had no idea.
They found Dick and Jason in the food court, sitting at a table opposite of each other. It struck her as odd that they weren't side by side, considering they were always touching. Then she remembered that maybe they were out to their friends and family, but not to the public. It made her sad that they had to pretend like they weren't the cutest couple since, well, anyone really.
"Hey guys" Dick greeted, smiling up at them as they approached and Rachel didn't miss the touch of sadness in his eyes, "Ooh, Kori you actually went through with it?! I wanna see!"
Giggling, Kori was pulled down to sit next to him as he gushed over her new ear piercings and Rachel sat next to Jason with a smile. "They do look really great, Kor" Jason contributed, Rachel nodding her agreement.
Jason then looked over at Rachel and smiled, saying "Hey there tiny 'tude, how's about you and I go somewhere together considering they're gonna be inseparable and I kinda wanted to talk to you about something."
"Sure" she agreed, pushing his shoulder playfully with a smile. Her and Jason had grown much more closer as of late, he was becoming somewhat like her brother.
Then just like that he was standing and ready to go saying "Rachel and I are gonna go into the goth store, we'll be back."
"Oh, okay" Dick said, going to stand up only to stop midway and sit back down with a pained expression, "have fun."
Kori and Rachel remained silent, giving each other a look of understanding before the goth was following Jason away from the food court. They walked in silence, Jason too caught up in his own head and upset to initiate conversation and Rachel feeling too awkward knowing he was upset to even try. Of course they weren't going to the goth store, she didn't even know what store that would be, but she wasn't surprised when he simply just walked into a small café and sat down at a table.
They both ordered drinks and sat in more silence. Rachel kept wondering why he had asked her to come along, until suddenly he said "I'm sorry for being this way right now, I just needed to talk to someone besides Dick because it's about Dick and Kori doesn't always understand and-"
"Hey" Rachel interrupted, smiling and placing a hand a top of his and giving it a comforting squeeze, "you know I'm always here for you. I mean, you and Dick practically saved me from being a dumbass and giving up on you guys so I am glad to help in any way. Besides, I can tell you're really upset and if you don't talk to someone you'll end up saying something dumb to Dick and it'll be a mess. I thought Kori and I ignoring each other was bad, but you two? Heh, I'd rather not go through that again, thank you very much."
Jason rolled his eyes, but smiled nevertheless as he chuckled and shook his head. "Thanks, Rachel."
Simply nodding, she took her hand away and drank at her warm tea. Slightly surprised at herself for being able to comfort her friend. It took a few minutes before he spoke again, except it was different. He didn't look her in the eye, instead staring down at his coffee with a vulnerable and miserable expression as he said quietly "I don't think I can do it anymore."
"Do what?"
Swallowing hard, he flicked his gaze up to Rachel as he mumbled "Pretend to be something I'm not."
Rachel nodded her head, understanding what he meant. Maybe a little too well. "Have you talked to Dick about it?"
"He doesn't want to" Jason murmured, trying desperately not to cry, "he's scared. Our families already know, so he doesn't think we need to let the whole world know..."
"But you want to."
Nodding his head, Jason chuckled bitterly and Rachel didn't like that sound coming from him. "It's stupid. I just wanna be able to fucking hold his hand whenever I want and not have to sneak off to the bathroom or janitor's closet at school when I just wanna kiss his cheek."
Rachel shook her head, grabbing his hand and making him look at her as she offered him a small smile "It's not stupid. Ya know, I was extremely pissed off that Kori told the school I was a lesbian, and I still wasn't happy even after I found out it was an accident. Now, though, it feels good. I don't have to pretend, and yeah, of course the homophobic assholes at school make it shitty sometimes but to me it's worth it, and I think if you tell him that Dick will agree. He's just scared of what other people think of him, he's not like you where you don't care, he cares too much."
Silence stretched between them for a long moment as Jason contemplated her words. Rachel silently scrolled through tumblr on her phone, allowing him to think as she texted Kori Are you talking with Dick?
Kori texted her back a few seconds later with Yes, he does not believe sharing his relationship with Jason is necessary but I have talked the sense into him.
Jason is pretty upset but I think I helped. We're sitting at the café by the fountain if you want to bring Dick over.
It is the plan the redhead texted back before Rachel turned off her phone, slipping it back in her pocket.
"Kori is bringing Dick over, and I want you to tell him how you feel" Rachel said, Jason looking up at her and nodding sadly.
"What if he says no?"
The thought made her stomach twist unpleasantly. Dick and Jason were the picture perfect couple, and they were a major part of their friend group. What would happen if they broke up? Would they both still be her friends? How awkward would it be? Choosing to push that aside, she offered him a sad smile and patted his shoulder as she stood up, seeing Kori walking towards them with Dick in tow.
"Then what happens next is up to you, whatever will make you happy, and I promise I'll back you up no matter what you choose."
Then Kori walked over and shoved Dick into the chair before linking her arm with Rachel's. "You two shall talk about your differences and come to an agreement. You both love each other very much and I shall not allow you to hurt each other. Do the figuring of it out, Rachel and I shall be in the book store. Come find us when you are done."
With that the goth was dragged away, offering Jason an encouraging smile and silently pleading with Dick to accept what Jason wanted. She understood both of their sides, but she just wanted them to be happy. Together the two girls walked into the bookstore, silently milling around. They were too lost in their own concern to hold much of a conversation.
Eventually Kori quietly broke the silence, looking at Rachel with fear in her pretty green eyes. "Do you think everything will be alright?"
The raw emotion in her voice and on her face made Rachel think about it from her perspective. They both were like her brothers. Dick was her very best friend, the person she shared a house with and who was teaching her about America. Yet Jason and her had a very close bond that Rachel envied, even if sometimes they didn't talk as much as her and Dick, they had this unspoken bond that was one of the strongest she had ever seen. Both of them meant a great deal to her, and if they split up she might have to choose between them. Rachel couldn't bear the thought of doing that herself; Kori must feel horrendous and petrified.
Them breaking up would tear her apart.
"I think everything is going to be fine, those two just like to be dramatic. If they can't make it together then there's no hope for any of us. I've never seen two people more in love" Rachel answered honestly, surprised at the surge of emotion she felt, even if she wasn't fully convinced herself. It didn't matter though as Kori teared up, hugging the other girl close which had the goth flushing despite herself.
Together they continued walking through the bookstore, Rachel recommending books to her redheaded friend. Of course she only picked the romance novels, but Rachel couldn't blame her, she even liked to read those. After half an hour had passed, their distraction began to wear off. They were getting extremely anxious. Settling for sitting outside the bookstore, they made idle chit chat as they waited.
Finally, they saw Jason and Dick walking towards them. Both of them were smiling which got the girls' hopes up, standing to wait for their friends to walk closer. Then, they realized that the two boys were holding hands, in public. Kori squealed and tackled them both in a hug, Rachel not far behind her. The boys accepted their congratulations and thanked them repeatedly.
When they all untangled themselves Kori and Rachel chanted "Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him…"
Smirking, Jason dramatically dipped Dick and kissed him on the lips as the other boy giggled. Some passers by watched the commotion, some even cheered and whistled, but most paid them no mind. Jason's face hurt from smiling as he righted his boyfriend and wrapped an arm around his waist. Together the four of them walked off to get ice cream and go back to the Manor to go swimming, Rachel grinning from ear to ear and so happy for her friends.
That day however made her realize something very important, everything could change in an instant. Of course she knew that sooner or later her time to confess her feelings would run out, but suddenly it became real to her. There had been a few failed attempts to ask out her friend and many ideas she thought of and then scrapped. As she went to school that week, she watched Jason and Dick interact and her entire soul ached for what they had. They were inseparable and so in love, and Rachel knew that she could have that as she watched the redhead. It truly was now or never, Rachel decided.
With that in mind she made her way over to the manor the following Saturday. She hasn't told the boys her plan, and walked over completely unannounced. Surprisingly, Dick answered the door and pleasant surprise colored his face and voice. "Oh, hi Rachel! If you wanted to come over I could've picked you up. I don't want you to get sick, it's getting colder out" he said as he stepped aside to let her in.
"Thanks, I was fine it's not that long of a walk, but um, I'm actually here just to talk to Kori" she offered with a smile, ignoring how his eyes squinted and his hands moved to be planted on his hips, "is she up in her room?"
"Actually she's in the greenhouse."
Rachel nodded a "thanks," going to walk away only to be stopped by a hand on her arm.
Eyes wide, he asked incredulously "Are you gonna ask her out?!"
"That's the plan" she smiled, nerves twisting in her gut but were beaten out by determination.
"Fuckin finally" he breathed, a broad grin forming on his face, "well go get her tiger! I'll make sure to tell Jason and we'll start planning the wedding."
Rolling her eyes, she couldn't help but smile as his confidence boosted her towards the greenhouse with shaking hands. Once she got there, the goth wasn't surprised to find her redheaded friend tending to some exotic looking blossoms. With a deep breath she walked up next to her, politely clearing her throat, trying not to scare her.
Kori looked over at her and had to do a double take, an ear splitting grin lighting up her face as she dropped her watering can. "Rachel!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around the shorter girl in a deathly tight grip.
"Hi, Star" she managed to get out, smiling and willing her hands to stop shaking.
"Why are you here? Who did the picking of you up?"
Shrugging a shoulder, she said "It's not important, I just um, wanted to ask you something."
Confused at her friend's behavior, concern bubbled up in Kori's chest as she scrutinized Rachel. Hopefully everything was alright. Clasping her pale hands in her own almond ones, Kori soothed "Whatever it is, you can ask me Rachel. There is no need for you to ever be the anxious."
Rachel nodded, taking in a deep breath and letting it out with a "Willyougooutwithme?" as her eyes squinted shut. Oh god oh god oh god oh god...
Confused, Kori couldn't understand her as she replied "I am sorry, but could you please repeat that?"
Trying desperately to slow down, the dark haired girl forced out with some pain "W-Will you, um, g-go out with me?"
"I am sorry, 'go out with you'?" she repeated, not understanding the meaning of the term as she let go of the other's hands and her head tilted to the side.
"Y-You know, um" Rachel fumbled with her words, face heating up rapidly, "will, will you um, you go on a-a date with m-me?"
Silence stretched out between them, and just when Rachel's heart stopped beating and she felt dread seeping into her being, realization finally dawned on Kori as she could barely contain a grin. "You wish to court me?"
"U-Um, yeah."
Grinning brightly, Kori couldn't be bothered to contain her joy as she said "Yes, yes of course. I would absolutely love to, Rachel."
Relief and giddiness flooded through the goth as she grinned, her face flushing at how openly the redhead was admiring her. "When shall this take place?" Kori asked, still grinning like a fool. This was her dream come true.
Rachel hadn't thought that far ahead yet. "Oh, um, when are you free?"
Thinking it over a moment, the redhead's smile turned soft as she said "I am free right now." A dark red overtook her features. Well, she hadn't been expecting that. "Just allow me a few minutes to get ready" Kori said, giggling as she went off to get ready, leaving behind a flabbergasted and lovestruck Rachel.
A little stunned, she just about jumped out of her skin when Jason called her name. The two boys were making their way over to her hurriedly. "What happened?" Dick asked excitedly, jumping up and down and both of them grinning.
"Well, um, I asked her out and she said yes and now we're going on a date like right now, I think."
"That's awesome, Rachel!" Jason said, Dick nodding enthusiastically.
Rachel nodded as well, panic began setting in as she realized "Yeah but I have absolutely nothing planned."
Looking her over, Dick mused "Well you look hot so that parts taken care of. Um, there's lots of stuff you could do but I need to go help her get ready or else your date will be next week."
He blew Jason a kiss as he ran back inside and out of sight. With a sigh Rachel stood there, trying desperately to think of something, anything. Smiling to himself, Jason was no stranger to the first date jitters as he gently grabbed her by the wrist and lead her inside to sit down in the study. Someone had to help the poor girl. After managing to calm her down, he began to help her plan.
"Okay, so it's kind of chilly outside but there's plenty of stuff to do. You're not taking her to a movie or the mall or anything like that because that's incredibly lame."
Chuckling, Rachel nodded and replied "Alright, well what are some ideas?"
After thinking it over for a few moments, Jason said "Okay you could go to the zoo, aquarium, or ice skating rink?"
"Well that'd be nice, but I have no money."
"Right, hmm" Jason trailed off, rubbing his chin in deep thought as he considered her options, "well Bruce isn't here today and Alfred has the day off, so I could take Dick somewhere and you two could just do something here?"
Thinking it over, Rachel asked "You're sure that's not lame?"
"Nah, she'll love it."
Rachel nodded, saying "Sounds like a good idea then, but I thought a movie was 'incredibly lame'?"
Jason smirked, replying "Yeah, when you take them to a movie because when you're at either their house or yours you can get a little frisky," winking at her.
Flushing, Rachel face palmed saying "You know, Jason, you're a real pervert."
All he did was throw his head back in laughter, unable to keep herself from chuckling as well. It put her more at ease. Shortly after, Dick came trotting in and flopped in Jason's lap with a content sigh. "Well, she's ready and she's coming down in minute. What did you guys plan?"
"I'm taking you someplace nice to let the other two do something here like watch a movie."
"Ooh nice" Dick said, winking at Rachel which had her face palming once again, "but what are we gonna do?"
Jason smirked and whispered something in Dick's ear that had him blushing and giggling. Rachel really didn't want to know what got that reaction out of him as she looked anywhere but at those two, only to stop short when her gaze fell to the redhead stepping into the room. She was gorgeous.
Her hair was straighter and fell into some loose curls, a purple sweater that just barely showed a hint of cleavage, dark skinny jeans that hugged all of her curves, and light purple makeup. A flush crept over her freckled cheeks as she offered a shy smile to the other, her normal boisterous personality subdued and shy. The boys watched the two girls make eyes at each other before they decided it was time to go.
Making up an excuse, Jason dragged Dick out of the Manor as Rachel felt her awkwardness creep in as she stood up. Kori stepped closer to her and she began to feel overwhelmed by her. "Um, I-I wasn't sure w-what to do so, um, I-I thought maybe we c-could just, um, do something around h-here?" Rachel stuttered out, hoping that Kori wouldn't be disappointed with what she offered as she nervously wrung her hands.
A sparkle in the redhead's eyes eased her stomach however as Kori replied "Of course, Rachel." Silence stretched between them for a moment, the foreigner admiring how beautiful Rachel looked in her favorite ripped black jeans, leather jacket, and blue v-neck. An idea suddenly popped into her mind and she smiled to herself at how shy the other was, pushing down her own as she stepped forward.
"Have I ever done the showing of you the greenhouse? Properly? I care for some plants in their myself that are from my home country."
Rachel smiled, peering up at the taller girl as she replied "No, I've only seen parts of it, but I'd love for you to show me."
Nodding, Kori offered the other her hand and a small jolt went down her spine when the goth accepted it. The redhead lead the other to the greenhouse again, Rachel smiling to herself when the other girl never let go. Intertwining their fingers with a surge of courage, Kori pulled the other along as she showed her her favorite place in the Manor. Once Rachel saw it she had to admit, it was gorgeous.
Beautiful blossoms grew everywhere, some were extremely exotic looking and different types of trees grew amongst them. There was a pond in the center with a small fountain. It was dotted with weeping willow trees and different colored koi fish glided gracefully through the water.
"It's beautiful in here" she mumbled, grinning as Kori giggled.
After showing off some of the plants she was growing, the redhead dragged her to sit in the grass on the bank of the small pond. They sat and talked for a little while, Rachel distracted by the warm, soft skin of her best friend's hand clasped in her own. The longer they just talked, the more comfortable she began to feel and she could tell Kori felt the same. It felt like a dream.
"Have you ever dated someone before, Rachel?" Kori suddenly asked, and Rachel looked over at the other and smiled. She was obviously trying to act nonchalant, but the goth could tell it was something she was dying to know. It was really cute.
"Actually, no" she answered honestly, grinning as Kori sat up taller and smiled, "no one's ever really found me attractive."
Saddened at hearing her friend (girlfriend?) say that, Kori gave her hand a comforting squeeze replying shyly "I find you attractive."
Rachel flushed and looked over at the other hesitantly, questioning "You do?"
"Mhm, do not be saddened, no one has ever found me attractive either."
"W-Well I, um, think you're attractive." Understatement of the century.
Giggling, Kori murmured a "thank you."
Beginning to feel even more comfortable, Rachel said "Actually, you're my first date at all."
"You are mine as well" the redhead replied, a small smirk pulling up at the corner of her lips, "I'm sure you shall be the first of many things for me."
Rachel's face turned cherry red at the comment, and it didn't help when Kori laughed at her. Playfully shoving her shoulder, Rachel couldn't help but smile at the sound of the other girl's laughter. It kinda hurt how adorable she was sometimes. "So, whatcha wanna do now?"
"Mm, perhaps we should do the ordering of some food and watch a movie? Is that a proper date?"
With a shrug, Rachel stood up with a grin and offered the other her hand saying "Eh, who cares, let's just do whatever we want." Kori eyed her before accepting the other's hand, grinning as they walked inside together. "Where are we gonna watch this movie?"
Thinking it over for a moment, Kori asked "Would it be the weird if we were in my room?"
A tinge of red tinted the goth's cheeks as she shrugged, trying to play it cool even though Jason's words were echoing in her mind. Kori didn't know about that, did she? Hmm... "Not if we don't want it to be, I guess."
"Is that okay?"
With a smile, Rachel began dragging Kori upstairs with an "Absolutely."
Grinning, they both got settled on Kori's bed as Rachel ordered a pizza and Kori picked a movie. She of course picked some romantic movie Rachel had never heard of. As the movie began to play, Kori slyly wormed her way into the other girl's side. Rachel blushed as she leaned back against the headboard, wrapping a tentative arm around the other girl cuddled into her side as the movie began to play.
By the time the pizza arrived, they were full on cuddling and Rachel never wanted to move. If she even so much as thought about it, she was afraid she'd wake up from some sort of dream. This was just too good. Here she was, watching a movie with a very gorgeous redhead in her arms. Turns out god was real, and he was answering her prayers.
Rachel moved with a sigh to go get the pizza, smiling as Kori almost whined in protest. This was literally her dream come true. It felt so good. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get the pizza."
"Mm, okay, I'll pause the movie, but hurry I am cold already."
With a lovesick smile, the goth ran down to answer the door with a spring in her step. So far this was the best day of her life. Once she had paid for the pizza, she made her way back upstairs and shut the door to Kori's bedroom behind her. "I got the food."
"Yay! I am famished."
Smiling, Rachel climbed back onto the bed. They played the movie as they ate their food, Kori's freehand somehow finding Rachel's once more. Once they had eaten, they again ended up cuddling. Except the redhead had lost all interest in said movie, instead choosing to watch the other girl. She was simply just so beautiful.
Rachel was aware of her staring as it made her shift uncomfortably, turning to look at her, mumbling "You're missing the movie."
All she did was chuckle quietly, nose crinkling in that adorable way Rachel loved as she felt a familiar pull she always felt when she was alone with the redhead. The air felt thick and suffocating as Kori's eyes searched her own before darting down to her lips and up again.
Then suddenly she spoke as she went to sit up, her face red as she nervously played with her hair mumbling "Rachel?"
"Yes?"
"Um, have you ever kissed anyone?"
Rachel felt her own face redden as she sat up, nervously picking at her jeans "No, I haven't."
Trying not to show how happy she was at that statement, Kori replied "Oh, me neither."
More silence hung in between them as the question she wanted to ask hung on the tip of her tongue. Best to simply go for it. "Rachel?"
"Yes?" she answered, becoming slightly amused and nervous as the redhead looked over at her shyly.
"Um, w-well could I, I-I mean could we, um…" she trailed off, not knowing how to ask for what she wanted, "Could it be me? C-Can I be your first kiss?"
Rachel's blush darkened considerably as she smiled, replying "Absolutely, i-if you want."
With a nod, Kori scooted closer to the other. Rachel could feel the other girl's warmth radiating from her skin as she moved closer. Nervously she leant in, stomach twisted up. They bumped noses and Kori giggled, which made Rachel smile as she slightly tilted her head to avoid doing it again. Then their lips met and it felt like she had been plunged into ice water.
Nothing else existed besides Kori for those few precious seconds before the other was pulling back, both of them stunned. The redhead blushed and smiled, murmuring "I would like to do that again."
Rachel nodded, not trusting herself to speak as she kissed the other girl again. It was clumsy and awkward, but Rachel couldn't care less as it just made Kori giggle or smile. Both of which she loved. The movie was abandoned as they continued kissing, Rachel not letting go of the fact that Jason had been right in the back of her mind.
Of course she forgot when Kori tilted her head just right and their lips fitted together perfectly. Neither of them had any clue what they were doing, but neither seemed to mind. The redhead cupped the other girl's face in her hands, pulling her closer and tilting her head just right. Either she lied about doing this before or she was just naturally a great kisser. Not that Rachel had much to base it on, but still, either way it had the goth melting under her touch as she eagerly returned the kisses.
Unsure of how long their innocent make out lasted, the movie was long over by the time Dick and Jason returned. Both girls jumped when they knocked on the door, asking if Rachel was in there with her. Kori snapped something in Tamaranian that had the boys howling with laughter. The goth blushed as they came in, glaring when they commented how their lipstick had smeared together.
The girls allowed the boys to hang out with them the rest of the time Rachel was there, but she was floating on air when Kori never once let go of her hand. Later that night when she had to go home, the redhead kissed her goodbye and Rachel went home the happiest she had ever been. She didn't even care that Dick was relentlessly teasing her, and neither did Kori as she gushed to Jason about how he had in fact been right about movies.
Yeah, this was definitely the best day of Rachel's life.
Well, that's my attempt after about five rewrites. *shrugs* I've recently moved across the country so my life has been hell. I've been trying to get back into writing, but it's proving a little difficult. I'm not completely happy with this, but it's not bad. My girlfriend picked for me to update this story next, so here ya go. Hopefully you all like it. :) Anyways, thanks for reading and if you liked it don't forget to fave/follow/review, or all 3! Please and thank you. ;)
