Hi! Just the third chapter! Please review and enjoy!

Chapter Three

Richard walked through the streets as if he owned the whole world. You know that walk that some guys do as if they owned everything. They do it especially when they got the girl they like or when they win a sports game. It's almost the same case for Richard, but he was walking with his head high as if he knew he was going to succeed in his mission today. He kept on walking and immediately stopped when something caught his eye.

He looked at the post and read the poster.

Richard smiled as he tore the sheet of paper off the post. "Perfect," he said aloud as he was on his way to meet Xavier Redd, even though he didn't know who really would be there.

"Are you sure that this is...uh…appropriate for conducting an interview, Bee?" Kori asked as she looked at herself in her mirror.

Bee was on the other side of her room, picking some makeup to finish Kori's outfit. "Of course, girl. After all, we need you to get an attractive roommate, now don't we?"

Kori rolled her eyes as she took another look of herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black halter top with red roses on the bottom. She was wearing tight black jeans along with black high heels. She definitely felt dark in the apparel of clothing. Due to Toni's force, she was also wearing red X shaped earrings. On her neck was the locket that she kept on since she was a little girl. Her hair was being done by Toni at the moment, so she didn't know how it would turn out.

She looked to her side, where Raven was reading a book on her bed. "Why did I agree to this, Rae?" Kori asked her friend.

Raven looked up from her book and said, "Why do you think?"

Kori rolled her eyes and looked back into the mirror. Toni had just finished her hair into a very nice and cute bun. "Let's just get through today, okay?"

Kori put her head to her table in frustration. Five hours had passed, and not one person was at least suitable for her. Toni, Karen and Raven sighed deeply and sat there waiting until the next person came.

Toni went to answer it and she came back into the living room with a tall, buff, tan redhead who instantly caught Kori's eye. Kori checked the man from top to bottom and gave a thumbs up sign to the other girls. Laughing, the other girls sighed in relief.

However, even if the man's appearance looked appealing, his personality sure didn't. Kori asked one of her questions, "What's your name?"

The redhead gave a million dollar smile, "Justin Roy, yours?"

"Kori R-umm...Anders." Kori went straight to her other questions. "What do you like to do in your spare time?"

"Swimming, surfing…" Kori looked at him in interest as he continued on with his list, "And going to clubs to check out hot chicks and babes!"

Kori gasped instantly and stood up from her table. "This interview is over!" Rushing Justin to the door, she was about to slam the door in his face, when she said, "We'll call you."

As Kori slammed the door, she just faintly heard him say, "But you ain't got my phone number!"

Toni looked at her friend in genuine concern when she went to sit down on her couch in frustration. Looking over to the others, they both had mirrored expressions of concern. "This is going so well, isn't it, Kor?"

Glancing at Toni, Kori looked at her as if she was a mad woman. "Of course, it's not going well! We've had a nerd, a perv, a drunky, and a rapist come for an interview and that all just happened in five hours! Obviously, it's not going well!" Kori threw her hands up in frustration and just sat there. The other girls looked at each other in vain and just let her be until the next person came.

The doorbell rang and this time, Bee went to go see the person. She laughed once she saw who was in the doorway. Kori looked up and saw who the person was. Smiling, she saw that the person was her best guy friend, Roy Harper, and Toni's boyfriend.

Toni looked at him in surprise. "Why are you here, Roy?" she asked with her cute New Zealand accent.

Roy just gave her a peck on the cheek and said, "What do you think princess? I'm just here to do an interview for the roommate?"

Kori laughed as she gave a hug to her best friend, "Even if you failed the interview, you would've been my roommate any day, if you weren't Toni's boyfriend." Roy frowned at Kori, but saw the look on Toni's face, and instantly smiled.

"Of course, I would never really to do that to Toni. You know that, don't you Argent?" Roy asked his girlfriend using the pet name he gave her. Toni just frowned and crossed her arms.

Kori laughed and whispered into her best friend's ear, "I think you should take her out now, before she kills me for even conducting this interview in the first place." Roy nodded abruptly and whispered something into Toni's ear which made her instantly light up.

She picked up her coat and was about to leave with Roy when she said, "Hey, I'm gonna go. Tell me if you found anyone, ok?" With that, the couple left the loft, embracing each other very comfortably.

Bee raised her eyebrow, "What did you say to Roy, girl?" Kori just smiled as she sat down on her chair and read a magazine.

Raven rolled her eyes and remarked, "Probably something very naughty!" Kori looked up from her magazine and threw daggers at her monotone friend with her eyes. Bee laughed and sat on the couch, reading another magazine.

Hours had passed and they had already gone through five men, two including Wally West, who just came for the fun of it, and Malc Kiore, Raven's ex-boyfriend. Raven didn't even let him step foot into the loft, knowing that he would do something very bad. I mean, very bad.

The girls were going to give up when someone rang the doorbell. This time Kori answered it, and when she saw who was at the door, she instantly fell for the man in front of her. He had a muscular build, which was seen through the muscle shirt he wore. He had beautiful cerulean eyes and spiked up black hair. However, Kori felt instantly mesmerized when he said, "Hey, is this where Xavier Redd lives?"

Kori was in a trance until the other two came and bumped her in the shoulder. She blushed and said, "Well, he used to. I'm Kori Anders, sister of Ryan Anders, X's best friend. And who might you be?"

The man glared at her as if she was poison, "The name's Richard Grayson, and I'm here to see X."
