A little morning drama

Kori

"So Kori, I was wondering if you wanted to go out some time-"

"Oh! That would be wonderful,Richard! I thought you had a girlfriend."

"Don't be silly, the only person I love is-"

I awake to the constant shaking of my mother, who is sitting on the edge of my bed wearing her business suit. I say sleepily," Where are you going?"

"Me, your father, and your brother are going on a business trip to China," My mom said however, I am confused. Why was Ryan going?

"Ryan? Why is he going with you? I thought you said this was a business trip."

"Yes, but your father said he wanted to give Ryan a break from all the girls. I know he just started school and all but, your father said he wanted to toughen him up, take him somewhere."

"That does not make any sense!" I shouted at her,"What if I would like to come along as well!" I get angry at her for two reasons.

Number One: She's leaving me alone with Komi, and who knows what she will do to me.

Number Two: She interrupted my dream and I never got to find out what Richard was going to say.

She gave me a stern look. "We will be back in a week in a half." She swung her coach purse over her shoulder and rolled her suitcase out of my purple room.

I was already awake and I could no longer go back to sleep knowing half of my family was leaving me, so I got up, got dressed just like any other school day. I look at my alarm clock. It read: 6:34 AM in red digital numbers. I still had about two hours and a half untill I had to go to school.

"We will see you soon Kori!" my mother shouted downstairs. She only said my name so that meant she already gave Komi her goodbye hug.

I rolled my eyes, a sign Komi had taught me,"Okay!" I shout back but I can sense the disappointment in her footsteps. She wanted me to come downstairs and give her a good-bye hug. As soon as the door closed, I felt a wave of regret. I wasn't going to see her, my brother nor my father for a week in a half, and I did not even see them walk out the door. I rush to the window to see the car drive away.

I sighed, showered and I threw on some ripped capri pants and a white tank top with a golden star on the front. Looking in the mirror, I let my hair loose and brush it, leaving my hair down. It reached all the way to my elbows. Quickly, even though I still had time, I brushed my teeth and glossed my lips with a clear coating. My phone started ringing so I look at the caller ID. I smiled a Cheshire grin and bounced up and down in excitement, but hurriedly answered the call in my sweetest voice.

"Hello?" I say acting like I do not know who has called me.

"Hello? Is this Kori?"

"Yes, is this Richard?" I felt him smile.

"Yep, so I was wondering-" This was exactly how it started in my dream. Please, finish your sentence. "If it was okay if I pick you up to take you to school?" I sulk a little, I just met this guy. It was foolish of me to think such things.

"Oh! That would be wonderful!"

He laughed,"Great, I didn't want to seem like a stalker or anything," he said which made me giggle. "So, does 7:45 sound okay?"

"7:45 is perfect," I say bouncing a little.

"Good, I'll see you later," Richard said.

"Okay, bye," I say sadly that he is now hanging up. I would not mind if he talked to me all morning.

I ran down the steps, ready to prepare my breakfast, when Komi stopped me.

"Why weren't you down stairs?" she asks, hands on her hips. She was wearing a black mini-skirt and a black T-shirt that said" Work like a Boss, but the letters S were written with dollar signs. I wanted to tell her not to wear the skirt because of what happened to me the previous day when I wore mine.

"I have my reasons," I say trying to be like her and throw back her words in her face.

"Well then, who were you talking to?" she asked with a smirk on her face. Her arms moved from her hips, now they were folded. She was listening to my conversation? From all my silence she knew she was victorious. I huffed and went into the kitchen.

I put two poptarts in the toaster and got out the orange juice. I could not wait until 7:45! Normally, I am eager to learn new things, so I enjoy school. However, Richard just made it even more enjoyable!

When I was eating my breakfast, I kept choking and gagging while checking my phone every five minutes. It was now 7:30. Komi already left for school which sounds suspicious. Why would she leave so early if yesterday she seemed as if she didn't want to go at all? Anyhow,all I needed was to waste 15 minutes. During this time I put on some mascara and glossed my lips again since the orange juice made it fade.

Ding Dong! The doorbell rang. I yanked the door open ,exposing myself. Richard was wearing a dark, short sleeved, navy shirt with black jeans and of coarse his sunglasses.

"Greetings", I mutter and smile because that is all I can say.

"Hey", he says steeping out of the way so that I can come outside. I do, and lock the door behind me, swinging my bag over my shoulders. I look in the driveway and see the same black mustang. Hopping into the soft leather seats, we start our drive to school in a comfortable silence.

"May you tell me what happened with that note. I was worrying about it all night." he admits which surprises me.

"You were worried?" I question.

"Yeah about you...er...or", he did not finish his sentence but I saw him blush.

"It was nothing. Just some idiot trying to flirt with me," I say and Richard

I turn on the radio and flip through the stations until I hear one of my favorite songs. At first I am humming and Richard starts chuckling and starts singing. It is not too long before I join in too.

I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

"Hey, that's not true!" Richard said which made me laugh and we continued singing.

By the time the song was over we arrived at Gotham High, still breathing heavily from holding the high notes.

We made small talk as we entered the building but, we had to separate since our lockers were not near each others. For the first time,(in forever...sorry I'll stop) someone greeted me at my locker. I didn't exactly know this person but they looked similar to Richard.

"Um, hello?"

"Hey,cutie",suddenly I jump. Someone was standing directly behind my locker. Wait a minute. That's the same staement that was on the note. This was "X",also known as, the jerk who gave me that perverted note.

Before he could say anything else, someone shouted my name.

"Hey girl,how's it," she stopped and looked at me then "X". "Is Xavier bothering you?"

"Well," I reply.

"No. We were just talking until you interrupted us." he tries to convince her.

"Let me ask you a question, Kori. Do you want to have sex with him?"

I immediately blush. "N-N-No...," I stutter. He leaves.

"Thanks,Bee," I say thankfully.

"I'm having a sleepover at my house. All the girls are gonna be there. You're welcomed to join us and I'll send you my address."

"That sounds wonderful! I would love to come!," I say excitingly.

We talk as we leave my locker and depart into our next class. I walk into history when Xavier stops me once again.

"Listen, I'm having a party and I want you to come," he looked directly at me and I started to feel really uncomfortable. "So, will you?" he handed me an invitation. There was only one answer I was going to say: Oh, hell to the no! Well, that's what I want to say but I am going to use my manners.

"No, thank you. I do not attend parties hosted by perverted jerks," and I turn to go back to my seat. However, when I do, Richard is standing right behind me.

"Xavier, I'm only going to say this once. Don't you ever mess with Kori or I will kick your ass!" he said calmly but sternly.

"I'd like to see it happen, Grayson," they taunt each other for another five minutes until the bell rings.

"Again?" Dick asked.

"Alright, you three, take your seats!" They glared at each other and grunted before taking their seats. Richard and I, once again, took a seat in the back.

No One's POV

"I am truley sorry about all of that drama that happened in history," Kori says turning towards Dick as they continue walking towards the gym.

"No worrys. This is highschool, there's gonna ba a whole lot of drama,"

"Run for your lives, dudes!" Gar came and ran between the two of them. He ducked behind Dick, who was confused until Rachel came running down the hall.

"I'm going to beat the living shit out of your worthless body!"

"Wait, what happened?" Kori asked.

"Gar, what did you do?" Dick asked loudly.

"I didn't do anything! I swear! I just wished her a happy birthday!"

"And how exactly did you know about my birthday you stalker and why the hell would you care?"

"Guys look we all have to go to P.E, so let's just wait 'til lunch"

Rachel

How does Gar remember my birthday? My own father forgot my birthday which is normal. My birth is not a celebration to me niether my family exept probably my mom,even though she doesn't even celebrate it , something has changed once my dad started abusing both me and my mom. Ever since then I've been writing poems about my so called "feelings" and then Gar had to come and screw all that up.

Who comes to school with a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing topped with a blue unlit candle? And the worst part is, he gives it to a purple haired creep. I am so ticked off! I chased him to the gym, for some reason.

Dick and Kori were there, probably flirting when Gar ran in between them and I followed close behind.

"I'm gonna beat the living shit out of your worthless body!"

Everyone was surprised and confused by my outburst and we had agreed to finish whatever this was at lunch. I was starting to get a headace and I didn't know if it was from stress of just thinking too hard.

After Gym Class...

I headed to Mrs. Anne's literature class and it's more akward with Kori now tagging along.

"So are you skilled in Literature?" she asked

"Um,sure. I'm okay at it," I didn't exactly know where this conversation was going and I didn't really care. As long as she didn't mention-

"So,Rachel, what happend this morning, you know, between you and Gar?" she asked as I sighed a breath of frustration.

"No,thanks," I said through gritted teeth but, she wouldn't stop pushing.

"Is that why you were all the upset with Gar? I heared it was simply because your birthday," she stated as we both took a seat in the back.

Mrs. Anne had light-brown hair in a lace braided bun with a white long sleeved shirt and kaki pants, with a blue scarf. Why was I worried about Mrs. Anne's appearance? I really must have wasnted to get out of answering Kori's question and she looked at me quizzically. So, I decided to answer.

"It was about my birthday which is why it bothered me," and I was going to end it like that until she got another question.

"But, why?" She kept pursueing. Mrs. Anne was writing something on the chalkboard and since she was in the way I couldn't see.

"Why would he even care for a creepy person like me? He doesn't like me and is just toying with my emotions!" I sorta yelled. the whole row was staring at me and they weren't the good "Im cool, hot and rich" stares that Dick gets, they were the "she's out of her mind" stares that only I get.

"Alrighty, class,"she put her glasses on the top of her head,"We will be free styling it today! So, you may choose to work alone or together in groups of two on a poem you will sharing at the end of class," She annouced and walked to her desk.

"Rachel would you like to-" Kori was about to ask but, I already finished her sentence.

"No, I work better alone,"

She nodded,"I understand. Oh and Rachel?"

I turn to let her know I have her full attention.

"Maybe you were too hard on Gar, as well as the rest of your friends. We still do not fully understand you. However, we all have secrets we will not tell,"

I was going to correct her that she ws still not my friend but, I let it slide. She seemed...nice

Just great. I had to explain myself to my friends at lunch. With Gar and I had to speak in front of the class. To top thing At least, I could just use one of my old poems.
