"You were in an unpleasant mood not long after you departed from lunch. And you went to class-" Kori muttered softly.
"Without you. Oh, Kor… I am so sorry. I was just, thinking. I never meant to leave you." Dick urged.
"What was troubling you?" Kori asked. Dick rubbed the back of his neck.
"Ah… Well, I was trying to think of how to stop Xavier from being your partner…" Dick blushed softly.
"You do not with for me to ner the part with him as well?" Kori smiled hopefully.
"Of course not! Xavier's a pig. No one, especially you, deserves to be stuck with that." Dick muttered.
"Well, do not fret! The many boys who have departed earlier all wish for me to be their partner! I do not believe I have Xavier to worry about." Kori exclaimed, smiling. Dick smacked on a fake smile.
"Yeah. Great." Dick lied through his teeth.
'So those bimbos can bid on you, but I can't! ARG!' Dick ranted in his mind, obviously pissed off.
"Richard?" Kori snapped him out of his trance.
"Huh?" Dick asked her.
"Are you to be arranged with Kitten?" Kori asked him uncertainly. Dick let out a big sigh. A frown was on his face.
"I think so…" Dick muttered, unhappily. Kori gave him a sympathetic look. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a tight hug.
"I am most sorry." Kori apologized.
"Don't worry. It's not your fault." Dick assured, hugging back.
'You don't need to know you were my only hope…' Dick thought to himself.
CHAPTER 4 – PARTNERS! CHAPTER 4 – PARTNERS! CHAPTER 4 – PARTNERS! CHAPTER 4 – PARTNERS! CHAPTER 4 – PARTNERS! CHAPTER 4 – PARTNERS!
It's been a week. Everyone was officially comfortable with their classes. But, today was Friday. And it was the scariest day of Dick's life in the history of ever. The day he would have to be partners with Kitten. (Everyone shudder now) Dick dreaded this day so much. He was hoping that yesterday the school would blow up and then they would all have to transfer to Jump City Academy, where they didn't have Understanding Real Life class. Unfortunately, the universe doesn't take requests like that and there it was, Friday.
The sun kissed his skin through his window. He groaned, loudly, pulling the covers of his eyes, trying to use it as a barrier from the bright glow, but it penetrated his shield and he threw it off. He sat on the edge of this bed. He looked at the clock: 5:55 am. He then looked up and saw his roommate, Vic, sleeping soundly. Though Vic was a senior, they were co-captains of the soccer and football team, so the coach convinced them to be roommates so they could "discuss" game plans outside of practice. But, they rather joke around and do what teenage boys do. Vic always woke up at one time: 6:10. Like clockwork, he'd let out a soft moan and kick his sheets away. But, Dick had 10 minutes till his buddy woke up, so he decided to hit the showers. Luckily, no one was there.
'Since I'm going to have the worst fate later today, the world decided to balance it out with making everything else really good.' Dick thought, bitterly. He took a nice, warm shower for about 10 minutes. He then walked out in a pair of shorts and brushed his teeth with his red toothbrush. Dick then, casually walked to his room. Like Dick said, Vic was up and ready to shower.
"Hey, Man. How you holding up?" Vic asked him, knowing that today was the day.
"I just hope the rest of the day is good, so that this day isn't all bad." Dick admitted, running a hand through his damp, charcoal hair. Vic then patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, man. Maybe, she'll transfer schools after today." Vic joked, hopefully for him. Dick smirked.
"Doubt it. I bet she'd been waiting for this day since freshman year, homeroom." Dick joked back. Vic chuckled, lightly.
"You're just too good looking! Well… I'm gonna hit the showers. Don't wait up for me, k?" Vic assured him.
"Hey, now my day's really getting better." Dick smirked. Vic snorted and walked off. Dick slipped on dark jeans and a white wife beater. He then put on a deep red button-down, short sleeve shirt, leaving it unbuttoned. He slipped on his black converse. He also applied his goopy hair gel and his shades. He smirked, cockily, and slid his key, which was plain red and had a black D painted on it, in his pocket. Dick then slung his black backpack over his shoulder and stepped out.
Dick walked the halls quietly and unattended. He scanned the cafeteria. He saw all the girls there. He rose his brow in confusion. They normally take twice as long as him and Vic. Gar, he sleeps in, so he's always 5 minutes after them. His roommate is no help and never wakes him.
"Hey guys. Why are you here so early?" Dick asked them.
"We figured it out! We found out that if we woke up 15 minutes before you guys, we don't have to rush and we'd end up here before you guys!" Bee exclaimed. Dick nodded with an impressed grin.
"Hello, friend Richard! How has your morning been?" Kori asked him sweetly. He plopped next to her, stealing a piece of Freya's chocolate chip waffles.
"Pretty good, actually. I never thought the first day I'd have to be with Kitten for a semester would be okay. I mean, I woke up without my alarm, which always pissed Vic off cause it wakes him too, no one was in the showers, and my hair's great." Dick joked. Kori giggled.
"I am most elated that you are having such a wondrous day." Kori smiled. Dick smiled back at her. Dick then went to take some more of Freya's waffles, but she smacked his hand.
"Hey! Back off my waffles! You already took some!" Freya yelled.
"Come on, Freya!" Dick begged.
"No!" Freya countered. Dick gave her a sad face. Freya shook her head.
"Man! Now I gatta stand in line!" Dick growled. Kori then slide her plate over to him. She smiled at him.
"Nah. It's ok, Kori. I'll just go get my own. "Dick protested.
"Oh. So you don't steal hers cause you have a crazy crush on her." Freya smirked. The two blushed and Dick gave her a growl.
"Shut UP, Freya." Dick yelled. He then got up and stomped to the line.
"Told you. He so likes you." Freya giggled to her sister, when Dick was far from hearing distance.
"I did not say I did not believe you. It is that I am unsure if it is safe to partake in a relationship with him…" Kori muttered, uncertainly. Freya placed her hand on her, Kori looked at her.
"Look, don't worry. You were allowed to come to America! It's obviously off." Freya exclaimed. Kori smiled.
"Perhaps, you are correct." Kori optimistically said.
"Of course I am!" Freya replied. Kori smiled at her. Freya smirked and pulled out another plate of waffles.
"Girl, where did you get that?" Bee asked her.
"Off of Dick's ID number. I typed in both of ours." Freya giggled.
"Sister! That is not nice!" Kori exclaimed.
"I know… I love messing with him. I feel bad right now though, he's gotta be with Kitten." Freya muttered.
"Yeah. Apologize." Raven muttered, reading a thin book with the title called The Day I Killed James. She then sipped her herbal tea. The girls then saw Dick stomping back.
"FREYA!" Dick yelled. Freya had a sweat drop.
"Um… I have your breakfast?" Freya said nervously, handing him his plate.
"You know what? Since, I'm having the worst hour of my life 6th period, I'm just gonna let it go." Dick decided, while pulverizing his waffles.
"Don't worry, Dick. It'll get better." Bee said.
"Yeah. How bout today, I make no jokes about you and Kori?" Freya smiled, trying to cheer him up.
"That would be good." Dick smiled. Kori slipped an arm around his shoulders.
"Do not fret. I am certain it will 'be good' today." Kori assured him. Dick smiled at her.
"Thanks Kori." Dick thanked.
"Oh come on! Act like love-dovey after I say I won't crack jokes!" Freya exclaimed. The group giggled. Vic slipped his arms around Bee.
"Hey ya'll." Vic greeted. Vic opened his mouth to Bee. She rolled her eyes and fed him some of her waffles.
"Hey Vic." Raven muttered, not looking up.
"What's up?" Dick asked him.
"Well… I heard, that homecoming game is going to be sooner this year. October 2." Vic informed.
"Sooner? That's in like a month." Freya replied.
"Yeah! But the dance is going to be the 3rd!" Vic smiled.
"That betta not be your way of asking me!" Bee warned.
"It's not!" Vic shot back. Bee gave him a look.
"The theme is Red Carpet Hollywood. You dress up like a movie star or something." Freya also added.
"OH! I enjoy the actress from the movie with heroes of super including the large green man and the god with a hammer!" Kori exclaimed.
"AVENGERS?! That movie was epic!" Freya jumped.
"SCARLET JOHANSEN?! She is soooo hot." Vic added. That earned him a huge smack in the back of his head from Bee, who gave him a sheepish look.
"Oh my gosh! I know! Let's all be Charlie's Angels!" Bee exclaimed.
"YEAH!" Freya agreed.
"No." Raven simply stated.
"Come on! They aren't slutty!" Bee protested.
"No." Raven didn't budge.
"They kick ass!" Freya bargained.
"No." Raven muttered.
"Do they not have 3 and we are 4?" Kori questioned.
"Yeah. But, we'll figure it out." Bee assured Kori.
"No." Raven snarled.
"Ok. How about the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?" Freya suggested.
"YEAH! Raven's Tibby, I'm Carmen, You're Bridget, and Kori's definitely Leah!" Bee exclaimed.
"So… What you think about that, Raven?" Dick asked her, curious about her answer.
"They don't wear fancy clothes in the movie." Raven commented.
"Well… I'm lost thinking of a famous 4 group of girls!" Bee exclaimed. The group sat there thinking.
"I'm stumped." Vic said.
"This sucks!" Freya exclaimed.
"No one dresses up for dances anyways. Why can't we just go as ourselves?" Raven snarled.
"Because it's more fun like this." Bee jumped.
"I think you should just match your dates? You know, like celebrity couples kinda thing?" Vic suggested.
"That is a wondrous idea!" Kori squealed. The girls agreed. RING!
"Already? I even got down here earlier." Dick groaned, wishing that the day didn't go by so fast.
"Where's Gar?" Raven asked, curiosity in her voice, which wasn't her. Vic gave her a strange look, but let it pass.
"He's probably running to his class." Vic stated. And the group went to PE.
"Alright… Let's go to PE." Dick muttered unhappily, walking sadly. Kori giggled at his sadness and linked her arm with his. He blushed a light pink. Even though Dick was on sport teams, he must do Coed PE until try outs. Dick always walked next to Kori, every day since school started. They normally made the same pace, walking exactly side by side. It was really weird because they seemed to walk in sync. It was also kinda cute after a while.
"I truly cannot wait for the E of P!" Kori smiled.
"I hope we do soccer." Dick wished. They then changed for PE. They found Mr. Games standing at the front of the locker rooms and he was holding… soccer balls!
"YES!" Dick jumped. He walked over to him.
'But now… I have to protect Kori from assholes who will try to hurt her.' Dick thought. 'Hms… That can be done.'
"Yes. We are doing soccer. If you do not want to play soccer, you will walk the track. Ok. We'll have girls game and boys game…" Mr. Master started, but was interrupted.
"WHAT?!" Dick yelled. Mr. Master gave him a look. "I mean, why can't it be coed games?" Dick suggested, explaining his outburst.
"Dude, girls can't handle us!" Herald exclaimed.
"Yeah. We're brutal." Jericho agreed. The girls glared at them.
"We accept your challenge!" Bee shot.
"Alright, alright. Settle down! Grayson, Team captain." Coach Master said.
"Cool." Dick said, getting up.
"Now… Whose your second in line…" Mr. Master thought. "Ah! Stone! Team Captain!"
"MAN!" Roy growled.
"It's cool, Coach. Roy can be captain." Vic suggested nicely.
"Fine. Harper! Team captain!" Coach said. "Everyone who doesn't want to play, on the track, so you don't get called." Roy smirked.
"You're going down, Dick." Roy taunted.
"We'll see about that." Dick suggested.
"You'll lose, even if you had the best boys in the team!" Roy exclaimed.
"That's not my plan…" Dick muttered to himself, but Roy could not hear his response.
"Grayson! Harper! Choose!" Mr. Master yelled.
"Kori." Dick smiled at her. She smiled back and got up next to him.
"Dude! We're your team! You pick a girl first?!" Isiah (Hot Spot) yelled.
"Yup. Deal with it." Dick smirked. They glared at him.
"Stupid hormone crazy boy…" Isiah muttered under his breath.
"Isiah." Roy called. They high fived each other.
"You're going down, Grayson." Isiah replied. Since there were more boys than girls that wanted to play, Dick got all the girls and a couple of boys, including Vic as his goalie and Gar. The other team was all boys.
"Alright. Let's head down." Mr. Master exclaimed. They got to the field and everyone began stretching.
"Team!" Dick called. They all huddled, making a plan. Dick and Kori, were the team's forwards.
"Alright… This is gonna be a tough game, but I think we can all do it." Dick announced. "They might be all guys, but what they don't know is that most of you girls, are tough and you can take them down. Those are my boys. I know they're cocky and will go easy on you. Use it to your advantage." Dick informed his team, a true leader he is.
"We'll kick their sorry butts!" Bee exclaimed.
"Ok… Break!" Dick exclaimed, and they all got on the field.
"Now, a good, clean fight. You don't have shin guards and I don't want to have to send someone to the infirmary." Mr. Mastered barked. He then had Dick's team kick off. Kori and Dick stood close next to the ball.
"Do the pass to me and I shall pass it to Bee." Kori whispered. Dick nodded. The whistle was blown. Dick went over the ball and Kori passed back to Bee. She sent the ball high and hard and it flew over their heads, all the way to the other side of the field. Dick and Kori ran to the other end, Dick passed to Kori. She then juked some boy and sent it hard. It landed in the top, left corner. Dick jumped. Goal.
"Yes!" Dick exclaimed, He then wrapped Kori in a hug. Kori blushed lightly and hugged back. "Let's finish this.." Dick whispered. Kori nodded with a huge blush still on her face. Again and again, the girls scored. The boys didn't know what to say. They tried to be more aggressive, but they were still reluctant to slide tackle girls and they were just too fast for those boys. It was kind of sad, because half of them are on the boy's Varsity team. But, a majority of the girls were on the girl's varsity team. It was about 10 minutes till the bell would ring. Mr. Master blew the whistle. Score was Dick 5, Roy 3.
"This is crazy!" Roy protested, unable to believe this.
"Sorry… Looks like you boys can't handle pure talent." Tina exclaimed, giggling with a couple of other girls as they walked casually back to the locker rooms.
"That's for being our coach, Dick." Nicole (Kole) smiled, as she threw her hands around him. Kori, furious, pushed her off.
"He gives welcomes." Kori growled. Nicole, shrugged, and walked away. Dick didn't know what to say, but he kinda smirked at Kori's little fire. He placed his arm around her.
"Come on. Let's go back." Dick suggested, leading her back to the locker rooms. Kori came out and found Dick, leaning against a wall, waiting for her. She smiled and ran over to him. Dick, had a sad expression. Kori was confused.
"Richard… What is the problem?" Kori asked him, eye softened and her voice full of concern.
"6th period…" Dick muttered. Kori then understood. She enveloped him into a hug.
"Do not worry. The thing of every will be okay." Kori tried to cheer him up. Dick let out a deep sigh, sliding his arms around her.
'At least one positive thing came from today, I get more hugs from Kori.' Dick thought positively.
"I know, but there's no way out of this…" Dick softly said, all hope lost in his voice.
They stepped into Spanish class and they took their seat next to each other.
"Hola, primera hora! Beinvenidos! (Hello 1st Period! Welcome!)" Madam Rogue exclaimed. "Yo sé que hoy es el primero viernes del ano de escuela. También, yo se que ellos trabajaron muchos esta semana. Debido a que, hoy estaremos mirando Mulan! (I know that today is the first Friday of the school year. Also, I know that you guys have worked a lot this week. Because of this, today we'll be watching Mulan)." Dick's eyes were wide.
"Movie? We're not going to get a butt load of homework like we did every day for the past week?" Dick asked Kori, quietly. Kori shrugged, also confused.
"Perhaps, your day is the lightning?" Kori optimistically smiled. Dick let out a chuckle, giving out his signature lopsided grin.
'You're so adorable… Why didn't you let me bid on you…' Dick thought to himself, sadness lingered in his thought. 'I would've done anything to be your partner…'
The two then turned to the screen and saw the off white screen with the darker swirls being painted. They also say MULAN written in black ink with the red dragon under the word. The movie began to play throughout the class period. They were unable to finish the movie and ended right after the men were singing "A Girl Worth Fighting For". RING! The bell rang and everyone got up and left.
"That was awesome! No homework! And she didn't even get mad when I asked you about Calc homework!" Dick exclaimed, happily. Kori smiled at his happiness.
"I have informed you! Your day is the lightning!" Kori repeated.
"Hey, what was our homework?" Dick asked her.
"We did not receive any." Kori replied. Dick then did a happy jump.
"I know! I just wanted to hear you say that!" Kori giggled at her friend's out of character over joy. However, the happiness left him and he growled. "I REALLY don't want 6th period to come!" Dick groaned.
"Richard. I understand you are unhappy of the arrangement with Kitten." Kori started. "I do not enjoy that she will be with you as well…" She grumbled.
"What?" Dick asked her, not hearing her last part.
"It is nothing. But, you shant allow that to interfere with the glorious day you are possessing!" Kori exclaimed. Dick then thought about what she said.
'She's right… I mean, sure I'm going to be stuck with Kitten… But, might as well enjoy the good day while I have it… You can always make me feel better…' Dick thought to himself about the fair haired beauty. He was staring in her eyes. Kori stood there, waiting patiently, but her patience drained and she then dragged his arm.
"AH!" Dick screamed and she pulled him. He was out of his trance and he began to walk on his own two feet. They then paced into US history. RING! The class had ended. All of Dick's classes flew by and it was now lunch.
"This is CRAZY!" Dick exclaimed. "Are all my teachers in a happy mood today?"
"You are happy?" Kori joked.
"Are you kidding?" Dick jumped. "All of them were great! Mad Mod gave us no lecture on how The American Revolution was fake, Dr. Light hid when the kid in the back turned off the lights and didn't give us any homework, and Cinderblock forgot to check the homework assignment I forget to do! He even let us out early, so we'll get to lunch before everyone else! Could this day GET any better?" Kori giggled at him.
"I believe that it can. We must partake in the consuming of foods." Kori agreed.
"Well… All I know is that this day would've been the best day of my life, if we didn't have 6th period." Dick's eyes widen. "Maybe we won't have 6th period! There's a fire drill that runs during 6th period and then we don't have to get partners! That would definitely make it all better." Kori shook her head at him, smiling.
"I believe that the chances of something unhappy to occur to prevent us from 6th period are slim." Kori pointed out. "Please, let us gather the food from the lines." The pair then walked into the cafeteria with no one else there, since they did get out early. Dick and Kori casually walked into the lunch lines.
"What's for lunch, today?" Dick asked, out loud and to himself.
"Pizza Parlor" The cafeteria lady answered him. Dick's smile grew.
"YES!" Dick jumped. Pizza Parlor was the best place to get pizza in town, but since the lines are always so long, they end up never getting it. Dick took 2 boxes and Kori took 2 slices. Kori stared at him.
"Richard…" Kori was in shock at his hunger.
"It's for the gang. I mean, I'm sure they want pizza more than mystery meat." Dick replied, knowing what she was thinking. Kori smiled.
'He is most kind to his friends… I do not understand why he enjoys my company…' Kori thought doubtfully to herself. The two started walking back to their regular table. And they sat there for a couple of seconds before the bell rang. The two decided to wait for the rest of the group before they ate. They saw them coming out of the corner.
"PIZZA PARLOR!" Gar and Vic exclaimed, sprinting as fast as they can to Dick.
"You got a lot of pizza…" Raven muttered.
"Don't be silly. I got the rest for you guys." Dick explained. The two boys pulled him in a tight hug.
"I love you, man!" Vic exclaimed, then digging in a slice.
"Why did you do that, Dick?" Freya asked, taking a piece of cheese.
"Well… I noticed today has been the greatest days ever. So… Might as well share the greatness." Dick told. Freya smiled at as a thank you and took a bite.
"Well, dude… I wish you were great all the time." Gar smiled, but couldn't really be understood with food in his mouth.
"Me too." Vic stated.
"I'm just sad the day's coming to an end… And closer to 6th period…" Dick confessed, sadness lingered in his voice.
"You shall not let the sadness of period of 6 affect the happiness you once had." Kori smiled, placing her hand on his. Dick had a tingling sensation go through his body. Her touch sent shivers down his spine and it always gave him this feeling, but he liked it. It was weird, but he didn't hate it. She just made him feel different in a way he couldn't explain. Dick looked at her hand and smiled.
"Yeah… You're right…" Dick muttered quietly. He looked at her and gave her his cocky, lope sided grin. "Thanks, Kor."
"It is the pleasure of me." Kori replied. Dick's grin turned into a nice smile. All he could do was stare into her pools of emerald eyes. They hypnotized him into a trance and he never could get out of it. It caused him to want to grab the edges of her color and place the most passionate kiss he could give and pull her in a tight embrace that could protect her from the world. This thought played in his head for a couple of times, making him go off in his own little world.
"Ahem!" Vic coughed. Dick snapped from his trance and shook his head
"You guys really need to a room." Gar joked. Dick gave him a nasty growl. Gar then jumped, hiding behind Raven. Raven, who blushed lightly, but no one noticed. She then made a glare and pushed Gar, causing him to fall on his butt. Dick laughed hysterically. His smile fell and he ran off.
"Raven and Richard!" Kori exclaimed. "That is most cruel!" Kori followed after him, being the nice girl she is. Dick's smirk began to turn into a crestfallen.
'Great, Gar… You just made me day suck…' Dick thought to himself. He then slapped himself mentally, especially because he's blaming Gar when he should be blaming himself.
Kori didn't have a long time chasing him, since she was pretty fast. She put a hand on his shoulder and he screamed. He turned around and saw her face. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Whew… It's only you, Kori… Were you the one chasing me?" Gar asked her. She nodded.
"Yes. It was I." Kori replied.
"Man! I thought you were Dick! So I freaked out and ran faster. Are you mad at me too?" Gar asked here, lots of fear in his voice, not knowing what kind of anger she was capable of. Kori shook her head.
"No. I am not. True, the statement was not one I supported, but I am not angered by your comment." Kori replied. "I am most angered at Richard."
"You shouldn't be mad at Dick, Kori… I mean… It was my fault… I mean… He's crazy about you. You being mad at him must be really crushing him…" Gar admitted.
"I truthfully enjoy him as well… I truly do not wish to be angered to him. However… He should not be so cruel to you. You are his companion." Kori informed.
"Well… Thanks for sticking up for me. I kinda wish Raven was this nice…" Gar muttered to himself, hoping Kori didn't hear.
"I am sure she enjoys your company as well." Kori whispered. She had heard him. He let out a girlish scream.
"You know I like her?" Gar exclaimed, shocked. Kori nodded.
"It is quite, noticeable to me. I am unsure if the others since they all have been your companions for long periods of time, but I am able to notice." Kori informed.
"WHAT?! Promise you won't tell anyone! Especially Dick and Vic! And Raven!" Gar begged. Kori giggled.
"I shall not tell anyone." Kori promised, placing an arm on his shoulder. Gar jumped happily.
"Please. Let us go back for lunch. I will do the 'taking care of' Richard." Kori smiled. Gar gleefully jumped up and the two friends walked back.
"Kori!" Dick exclaimed, pulling her in a hug. Kori was confused, but hugged back. "Please don't be mad at me!" He begged. Kori pulled in him tighter.
"I am not." Kori replied, giggling. "I was merely the joking." Dick let out a sigh of relief. His breath tickled her neck, sending chukks throughout her body. RING! Dick groaned, breaking his embrace from Kori.
Fortunately for him, Blood did not call on him to read his essay that was homework last night. They then started watching "Scarlet Letter" the movie, which was the book they were going to read next. The class went by fast. RING!
"NO!" Dick screamed. "NOT SIXTH PERIOD!"
"Richard. I have the question. I do not understand why you did not 'bid' someone else? You did tell the group you were keeping money for this." Kori questioned.
'Crap.' Dick thought. 'I DID say that… Uh…'
"I didn't want to make girls feel like objects. You know, by buying a girl." Kori gave him a soft smile.
"That is most admirable of you." Kori stated and she wrapped her arms around him. Then, her eyes lit up.
"I have the plan." Kori whispered. Kori then pushed him.
"AH!" Dick exclaimed as he fell. She didn't push him very hard, but he then slipped trying to get up and scraped his arm against the concrete.
"Richard! You are injured! I shall escort you to the infirmary!" Kori exclaimed. "Let us depart." Dick walked slowly with her.
"The nurse shall the the care of you." Kori replied. Dick was shocked.
"You pushed me..." Dick managed to choke out.
"It is what you desired, yes? To not have to go to the period of 6?" Kori asked him, rhetorically.
"Well… Yeah… But, I never thought you'd do this…" Dick mustered.
"I have done what you desired. An out way. I am assuring you have the day that is the best." Kori informed.
"Yeah. You did get me a way out. But… It's like you read my mind. I…I-I just imagined something happening so I didn't have to go to 6th… I just never thought it would've come true, you know? I mean, not the most painless way out, but it is one." Dick tried to explain.
"I do not view inside your mind… I did what seemed most… Appropriate at the time." Kori tried also to explain.
"Well… Thank you… I mean… Now I can at least avoid Kitten till Monday." Dick smiled at her. Kori, confused at how he could be happy with her pushing him, smiled back.
"I welcome you." Kori replied. The twowere now in front of the infirmary. Kori opened the door for Dick because he had the scraped arm, which was now red with blood. "I apologize. Your arm… It is most gruesome to see… I did not mean to cause this pain to be extremely painful..."
"It's no big deal. It looks worse than it is." Dick smiled.
"I shall inform your new partner to be good to you and to give the utmost care." Kori promised.
"HAHA! Thanks, but that's ok. I can take care of myself." Dick assured.
"No! She will receive this message! She must treat you politely for the pain your arm." Kori exclaimed.
"Alright, alright." Dick smiled at her. The nurse came over and saw his arm.
"What happened?" She exclaimed.
"Um… Soccer." Dick replied. She gave him a confused look, but decided to ignore it. She looked over at Kori, who was still there.
"You can leave, Sweetie. I'll take care of him." The nurse assured her. Kori hesitated, but nodded. She gave Dick a quick kiss on the cheek and scampered off.
"You got a sweet girlfriend there, Kid." The nursed smiled, as she bandaged his arm.
"She's not my girlfriend…" Dick corrected, wincing slightly at the antibiotics she sprayed on his arm.
"Well… You seem to like her." She replied, obviously knowing him without even getting to know him.
"Uh… Well… She's my friend…" Dick mustered. The nurse chuckled.
"If you say so, lad. But if you do feel something, you should tell her. Ok. You're all done. You can go back to class or you can just stick around here. I don't mind." The nurse said.
"Yeah… I think I'll just sit here… And think…" Dick announced, not wanting to see Kitten and also wanted to think of a way to tell Kori his feelings, the strong feelings he really had for her, and only knowing her for a 2 weeks. He was scared to know how he'd feel for her at the end of the school year.
"Alright then, Hun. You can just lie there, but I'm going to have to kick you out at about 4. That's when I go for break and Mrs. Pan (Panther) comes in." The nurse smiled at him. Dick shuddered. Mrs. Pan use to be a professional wrestler, who knows why she's a school nurse. But, she scared everyone, some kids were even afraid to go the nurse's office after school ends.
"Yeah… I'll be out of here by then." Dick joked. The nursed laughed.
"Alright. You just relax and if you need more gauze, just stop by later today." She joked, walking away.
"Thanks…" Dick yelled as the door slammed shut. He put his good arm behind his head. He then just laid there and thought about Kori. The way her eyes light up when she smiles, or how her hair swayed when she walked. He also couldn't get over how her lips moved when she smiled. It would brighten up a room and the little curve her lips made was always contagious, causing his to do the same.
He heard a knock and turned to see the nurse come back in.
"Hey. It's 3:55. I'm assuming you want to jet before Mrs. Pan comes in?" The nurse guessed. Dick eyes were golf balls.
'3:55? Already… Man… if I kept thinking about Kori, it would probably be Spring Break.' Dick joked to himself.
"Yeah… Thanks for letting me stick around." Dick thanked, getting off the gurney.
"No problem. Good luck." The nurse encouraged. Dick was confused.
"Huh?" Dick asked.
"With the girl." The nurse answered, smirking and then walked away. Dick blushed red as he turned around.
'I guess I should see Carson and asked how this partner thing went down…' Dick thought. He began walking out of the nurse's office and to Carson's room. He knocked on the door.
"It's open!" Carson yelled. Dick then pushed the door opened and poked his head in. He saw Carson writing down something. She looked up and smiled.
"Hey! I missed you in class today. Kori said you were in the nurse's office. What's up?" Carson asked. He stepped in a showed him his arm "Oh. That looks pretty bad. How you holding up?"
"I'm ok. It's not as bad as it looks." Dick replied.
"Well… That's good. So… you know partners were made today, right?" Carson asked him.
"Yeah. I know." Dick replied.
"DICKIE-POO!" a voice came from behind.
'Shit… She's still here?' Dick thought sadly.
"Turn around and give your partner a hug!" The voice squealed, being directly behind him now. He cringed as he slowly turned around and was faced with… Freya!
"Freya!?" Dick choked out.
"Surprise to see me? Was my Kitten impression that good?" Freya grinned from ear to ear.
"Yeah. It was pretty good. I… You… But… How are you my partner?" Dick asked.
"Well, you know how much we all love you. We chipped in some money we were saving up to get you away from Kitten." Freya explained.
"Really? You guys are amazing. So… Did you volunteer?" Dick asked, sadly. "Not that I am not glad to see you it's just…"
"Kori has too many morals to buy someone. Sorry Dick." Freya said with an apologetic voice.
"Hey. No. Don't be sorry. You're way better than Kitten." Dick assured her.
"I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a given." Freya chuckled.
"Both." Dick smiled.
"Yeah, so we get to work together starting Monday. We sit over there." Freya pointed to two desks on the middle of the room that were pushed together.
"Oh. Ok. Cool." Dick stated.
"Here's the homework." Carson jumped into the conversation, handing him a sheet of paper. "Your job is to spend time with your partner and get to know them by filling out this sheet about her."
"Sounds easy enough." Dick nodded.
"Yup. Date tonight. Me, you, Pizza Parlor." Freya stated.
"Okay. Sure." Dick nodded in agreement.
"Six. I'll meet you in the common room." Freya ordered.
"No problem. Enough time to take a quick nap." Dick smiled. Freya smiled back.
"As long as you're not late." Freya sternly stated as she left the class. "BYE CARSON!"
"Bye, Sweetie! Have a good weekend! Bye Dick." Carson replied.
"See ya, Carson!" Dick walked to his dorm and encountered Vic.
"Hey man!" Vic greeted.
"Hey!" Dick smiled.
"So, I see that you didn't have to be stuck with Kitten." Vic smirked, gesturing to his smile.
"Nope! I'm really glad that I got to be with Freya, instead. I was kinda thinking that if it wasn't Kitten, I might have someone gross, like Terra or Babs. I'm so lucky it's neither of them either." Dick admitted.
"Yeah. That's awesome. So where's your 'date' tonight?" Vic asked.
"Pizza Parlor. I'm glad it's no a real date at some restaurant, you know? Just, two friends, eating pizza. You?" Dick smiled.
"Bee wanted this to be like a real date. Made me go get her a flower and ask her out. We're going to that sushi bar downtown." Vic stated.
"Haha. Doesn't the owner hate you?" Dick joked.
"Not after I helped him fix his revolving sushi bar. Now, he says I can eat as much as I want. For Free!" Vic smirked.
"Nice. Free dinner." Dick smiled, giving him a knuckle touch.
"Hah. You know it. But don't tell Bee. She'll be pissed knowing that I'm not spoiling her."
"You know it. Well, I'm going to take a quick nap then shower before the date." Dick stated.
"Kay! Have fun! Don't forget your alarm, or you won't wake up!" Vic reminded. Dick nodded in reply and set his head down for his nap.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! Dick pressed the snooze button on his iPhone. He groaned softly and looked at the time. It was 5:40.
'Perfect. Enough time to shower and get dressed.' Dick thought and he rolled out of bed and slugged off to the showers. He came back in about 10 minutes and grabbed clothes to get dress. He threw on a white t-shirt, blue jeans and black converse. He slipped on his letterman jacket and his shades. Dick was ready to go.
"Whoops. Forgot to do my hair." Dick thought out loud as he turned around, grabbing some hair gel and swishing it in his locks, making solid spikes. He checked himself in the mirror once more, to assure that his hair was good, then grabbed his backpack and headed to the common room.
It was 6:01 pm and Dick was in the common room. He was playing Draw Something against Gar, trying to guess his peculiar drawing, while waiting for Freya. She was never on time. She was actually expected to be late, not too late, only by a few minutes, but late nonetheless. He heard footsteps and found Freya running to the common room. She wore a cream lace top with three-quarter sleeves. She also had on jean short shorts and black sandals. She had a purse over her shoulder and a headband in her hair. She was huffing, apparently she ran from her room.
"Sorry, Dick… I… was… sleeping…" Freya attempted to explain through her huffing. Dick chuckled.
"No worries, Freya. Let's head out." Dick gestured to the red corvette out front. They got in and Dick started to drive.
The car ride was quiet; there was not much to talk about. The only noise came from "Moves like Jagger", playing on the radio.
"Hey Dick. Got any gum?" Freya asked, breaking the silence.
"Oh yeah. Check the glove compartment." Dick stated. Freya popped open the glove compartment and there was a bunch of random stuff in there. Napkins, papers, some money, gum, mints, and a box. Curious, Freya took out the black velvet box.
"Dick… What is this?" Freya asked him, holding up the box.
"Shit... Put that back." Dick ordered.
"Not until you tell me what it is."
"Put it back."
"No."
"Put. It. back."
"No!"
"PUT IT BACK!" Dick yelled as he attempted to grab the box, slighting swerving on the road, but Freya was quick and moved before he could grab it.
"HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" she ordered. Dick, reluctantly, obeyed and placed both hands on the wheel.
"Now, tell me what's in the box or I open it." Freya demanded. Dick growled in frustration, but Freya did not budge. He sighed in defeat.
"It's a necklace." Dick stated simply.
"For?"
"Someone."
"Dick." Freya threatened sternly, placing her other hand on the lid.
"…Kori." Freya squealed in excitement.
"AH! You got her jewelry?! Oh my gosh! When? Where?" Dick sighed, unsure if he should actually tell her.
"… Yesterday when we went to the mall. I hid it in the glove compartment, so she wouldn't see it."
"Was it that heart necklace from the window she was eyeing?"
"…Maybe."
"Dick! That necklace was like $200! " Freya shouted in shock. "I mean, $200 isn't that big of a deal for you, but why would you do that, when you only knew her for like 2 weeks?"
"I don't know. I mean, she wanted it." Dick stated, uncertainly. A red light showed and he stopped.
"…Dick. If you can't say it out loud, how do you expect to say it to her face?" Dick stared at Freya. She was right.
"I… like her." Dick admitted. Freya squealed louder.
"OH MY GOSH! I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU'D LOVE HER!"
"Whoa! I didn't say love. I just said I liked her."
"I know. But, remember when we met 2 years ago? You were Prince of Gotham just moved to Jump City and I became a freshman?"
"Yeah."
"I knew you weren't like that. I knew that you'd like a girl like Kori. Now, why do you like her?" Freya asked, raising her brow.
"Look Freya, it's already hard enough to have to admit I like her, I don't really-"
"Dick. You're going to need to one day. You know how many guys like her. You've seen them. And, her not being your partner, her actual partner might pull a move on her. You can't let her slip through your fingers." Freya urged. Dick sighed.
"Well… She's pretty…"
"Don't lie to yourself, Dick."
"Okay. She's the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen."
"And?"
"When she smiles, it makes my stomach all tingly. And when she laughs, it makes my ears warm. The cute way her brows furrow when they're confused or the way she mediates a conversation when there's an issue. The adorable way she gets confused by American customs, but she's not afraid to learn. Everything about her… I mean, I just met her, but I can't help but feel at bliss when I'm around her..." Dick glanced over at the brunette and saw Freya smiling at him.
"That was the most sweetest thing I've ever heard. And it came out of you. I'm proud of you, Dick." Dick let out a soft chuckle.
"Thanks... So… We're here." Dick announced.
"Yay! Let's go! I must have pizza!" Freya jumped as she got out of the corvette. Dick did the same, not forgetting his backpack or jacket. The two walked into the doors and heard the rustling and bustling of the pizza parlor. There was a waitress standing in the front wearing a 50s look with roller skates and a high ponytail.
"Hello! Welcome to the Pizza Parlor. Table for two?" She greeted.
"Oh we have a table, under the name of Anders?" Freya stated.
"Oh yes, of course! The booth in the left corner." The waiter gestured them to follow her. The two were walking when they found Kori at a booth by herself.
"Kori!" Dick shouted a little loudly as he stopped in front of her booth. Kori sat there with her hair in a fun updo and she wore light make up. She also wore a teal ruffle tank and jean shorts. She also had a black leather jacket and black lacy heels.
"Greetings Richard."
"What are you doing here?"
"I am doing the homework with my new partner." Dick's smile fell.
"Oh…"
"He should be here soon. Oh, I think he's over there!" Freya pointed across the restaurant. Dick was afraid to look, not wanting to know what asshole was partnered with Kori, but this panging feeling pulled at his head as it turned toward the direction Freya pointed at.
"Ooph!" Dick exclaimed as he fell into Kori's booth. Dick stared as Freya's arm was extended, showing that she was the one to push Dick.
"Freya! Why did you do that?" Dick shouted in shock.
"Wanted my sis' partner to actually be on the date with her." Freya smirked. Dick was confused, but then he looked at Kori and she was glowing. It took him a while, but he put two and two together.
"We're partners?" Dick finally muttered.
"Yes!" Kori squealed as she threw her arms around him. A soft blush crawled on his face.
"How?" Dick asked, still in shock.
"I'll leave you two alone." Freya smirked as she walked off.
"How is your arm?" Kori's concerned voice asked.
"It's okay. I barely noticed it, really. But, Kor. How did you become my partner?" Dick asked, not letting the question go.
"I believe that placing bids were necessary to achieve a specific partner." Kori stated obviously. Dick chuckled.
"No, I mean, I thought Freya was." Dick confused.
"Freya informed it would be comical to do the joke on you." Kori spilled.
"Freya…" Dick snarled.
"Hey. I didn't pick on you two!" Freya giggled as she popped up behind them, winking. Then, she left.
"I still can't believe it. I mean, Kitten was up $250." Dick stated in disbelief.
"I placed a bid the class today…" Kori informed
"Did everyone help you?"
"No. Why would I need help?"
"Freya said that when she was my partner she did. So, wait, $250… How much did you put?"
"$300."
"$300?" Dick choked. "But… That's a lot of money for this… You told me you didn't like bidding people, treating them like they're prizes…"
"I do not enjoy the idea, but I truly wished to be with you and I most certainly did not with for you to be with Kitten." Kori snarled. Dick smirked.
"I wanted to be with you too… I was going to bid on you… But, since you told me you didn't like it… I told myself I wouldn't…" Dick explained. Kori wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh Richard…" Kori sighed. "I thank you for obeying my wishes. That is more important to me than anything…" Dick smiled, knowing he was hugging Kori and that he was her partner.
"You're welcome…" Dick said. Then, his phone chimed. Dick had an apologetic look as he let go of their embrace and he looked down at his phone. He got a text that read, "Dick. DON'T let her go. Your pocket will have something that'll help! ;P" Dick was confused and he stuck his hand in his pocket and he felt the black velvet box. His eyes were wide as he checked the text again. It was Freya.
'You got it.' Dick thought.
"Richard?" Kori asked him. "Are you well?"
"Oh Yeah. Yeah, I am."
"May we partake in our assignment?"
"Okay, Section One, Your Partner. Discuss with your partner about the topics displayed below and fill out the questionnaire about him/her."
"Alright. Favorite Color. Red!" Kori smile gleefully. Dick smiled at her happiness.
"Hello. My name is Jessica and I'll be your server today. Can I get you two started on some drinks?" Jessica smiled politely.
"Oh yeah. Can I get a Sprite?" Dick asked.
"Course. And for you?"
"Hms… The chocolate shake sounds most appitizing, please."
"Alright! I will bring that to you guys soon!"
"Maybe we should figure out what we want to get before we continue with the homework." Dick suggested, picking up the menu.
"Agreed."
"So, what do you want?"
"It is rational to order pizza, yes?"
"Definitely. What toppings you want?"
"Pickles, bananas, and mint frosting." Dick's eyes were wide and he turned a little green.
"Uh… Not everything is a pizza topping."
"Oh. I apologize."
"How bout… Hawaiian: pineapples, ham, and bacon?"
"It sounds most intriguing."
"Then we will get that."
"Okay. Here are your drinks. Are we ready to order or did you guys need a couple more minutes?" the waitress asked as she placed their drinks on their table.
"We're ready. Can we get a Honolulu Hawaiian Pizza?"
"Of course. Coming right up!"
"Okay. Let's continue working." Dick suggested. The two continued on their questionnaire. Learning more about each other as every second passed. They were laughing fits.
"So, you fell in the fountain?" Kori giggled
"Yes. And as I walked toward my mom, she yelled, 'You fell in the fountain didn't you?' She always knew." Dick smiled at the memory.
"What happened to them?" Kori asked. Dick's eyes were wide.
'Did she just ask that?' Dick thought.
"Oh. I apologize. I should not have said things. Please, let us move on."
"How do you know that?" Dick asked.
"Our friends had mentioned. They have also said how your father is Bruce Wayne, the owner of Wayne Enterprise." Kori stated. Dick let out a sigh of frustration.
'Great. Now, she's going to treat me different. Just like everyone else. I knew.' Dick thought.
"And?"
"I… do not understand. Is there more?"
"And now it's a big deal that my adoptive father is Bruce Wayne." Dick snapped.
"No? Would there be? Your adoptive father has an impressive position in society, but that does not affect my views on you. You are my friend. That is all that matters." Kori urged. Dick just stared at her.
"Really?"
"Truly." Dick smiled.
'Wow… All that matters is me. Who ever thought that this day would come when I was normal?' Dick smiled at the new perspective.
"Thanks, Kor." Their food came and they ate, happily, enjoying each other's company. The check came and Kori scrambled stuff in her purse, but Dick stopped her.
"Don't worry. I got it." Dick smiled at her as he placed a $20 bill on the table and he led her out the door.
"Thank you, Richard. I most enjoyed our time together." Kori smiled.
"No problem, partner." Dick grinned. They walked to Dick's car and he opened her door for her. She blushed at this and got into his car. Dick pulled out and they drove back to the school. However, Dick stopped at the front of the school, where there was a grassy area and a fountain. Dick turned off the car, got out, and went to open her door.
"Richard… Are we not going back?" Kori asked in confusion as she got out.
"We are. But, let's just take a walk first." Dick stated as he offered his hand. She took it and they walked in the grass quad.
They stared at the stars as they walked together. Dick was nervous. He could feel the sweat coming to his palms. He just kept hearing the clicking of Kori's heels. He didn't know what to do.
"The stars are most glorious." Kori awed.
"You're the brightest star I know." Dick thought slipped from his mouth. His eyes were wide as he coughed, attempting to cover it up.
"What?" Kori asked, uncertain if she heard him correctly. Dick stopped walking and Kori stared at him, waiting for a reply.
He then looked at her. "Kori… I've wanted to tell you something… But… I never was sure how…"
"It is not hard to say things to me. I wish for you to tell me anything…" Kori admitted. Dick took a deep breath.
"Um… Kori… Ever since I saw you lying on the grass at the park… I have this feeling… It's, not a feeling I've never gotten before. It's completely different… And… It's weird cause I don't know how to react to this feeling…" Dick started, stuttering and pausing abnormally. Kori, patiently waited for him to say what he wished.
"And… When I see you, all I can do is smile. And, I feel happy… And… I can't explain why…" Dick started again. Kori giggled.
"Richard… Please, ask me what we both desire." Kori teased. Her eyes full of hope and love. Dick fell hard for her and her eyes were filled with this look that couldn't make him look away.
"I got this for you when we went to the mall yesterday. I saw you looking at it through the window and when you and the girls were shopping and I snuck off to get this." Dick explained as he pulled out a velvet box, exposing a white gold heart locket. It had an emerald K on the front with an engraving on the back, "Richard & Kori"
"Will… you be my girlfriend?" Dick softly mumbled. Kori softly planted her lips on his. He melted in this wonderful sensation. He felt his whole body become numb and warm at the same time. He closed his eyes, making the feeling stronger. He placed his hands on her waist, being cautious of not making it too low. Kori, in return, slid one of her hands on the back of his neck and the other touching his cheek. He pulled her closer, trying not to be too rough. Kori didn't seem to mind and pulled him in tighter as well. Her hand on his cheek slid down to the back of his neck. He had his tongue softly begging at her lips, she answered in opening her mouth. His tongue roamed her mouth, ticking her cheek. She moaned in reply, wrapping her legs around his waist. He felt weak in the knees. Because of this, he fell back onto the grass, pulling her with him. Dick, knowing that he was losing air fast, softly pulled away. Their eyes were still shut; their faces were only a millimeter apart. They took deep breaths, absorbing as much oxygen they could in the time apart.
"So… Is that a yes?" Dick joked with her, as he opened her eyes. Kori giggled.
"You do not even have to ask." Kori murmured, her eyes were still shut as she laid her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Dick was smirking and thinking of a happy dance. He wrapped his arms more around her waist and pulled her closer. He had the widest grin planted on his face. He could not believe what had just happened. The girl he fell for spent $300 on him and gave him the most amazing kiss he has ever experienced. They laid there for only moments longer, taking in what had just happened.
'This really was the best day ever.' Dick thought, happily.
