"Hey Xavier," Kory said as she walked into his room.
"Hey cutie," he replied and Kory smiled at the name he gave her.
"How are you feeling?" she asked, sitting down on the edge of his bed.
"I'm actually feeling a lot better. I think it's just one of those weekend flues that don't last very long. What about you? You look kind of stressed out," Xavier asked, sitting up in his bed.
"I had a run in with Richard the other day," Kory said.
"Where?" Xavier asked.
"At the spa," Kory said and Xavier laughed.
"What was he doing at a spa?" he asked.
"He was with some slut, but in the end he had to take a cold shower," Kory said, biting her bottom lip.
"You dirty girl," Xavier joked and Kory giggled.
"I was covered in mud!" she exclaimed.
"That's what they all say," Xavier said and they both began laughing.
"So, you think you'll be healthy in two days?" Kory asked once they stopped laughing.
"I should, why?" Xavier asked.
"I heard Richard is having a beach party," she said.
"Oh yeah, his annual beach party, but freshmen aren't aloud. Just for safety is what he says," Xavier said.
"Well then, it's a good thing neither of us are freshmen," Kory said.
"Oh yeah, you're a sophomore now! I guess we'll be going to that party then," Xavier said, looking at his girlfriend.
"Alright, but I'll need you to protect me because Rachel won't be there to," Kory said.
"I swear on my life that I won't let anything happen to you," Xavier said and Kory smiled.
"Thank you," she said before standing up.
"You should probably get going," Xavier said.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow," Kory said before giving him a kiss on the forehead and leaving.
----------------------------------
"It's like impossible to find a place to park!" Kory said as Xavier drove along the street.
"Well just have to walk then," Xavier said before leaving the main court and going out onto a side street. He parked the car and then looked over at Kory who was fixing her make up in the mirror.
"You look fine," he said.
"Thanks," Kory said, smiling sweetly at him. They both then got out of the car and walked towards the beach.
"Kory?" Richard asked, spotting red hair.
"Oh, hey Richard. Great to see you again," Kory said. She gave him a quick hug before returning to Xavier's side.
"Are you feeling alright?" Richard asked, looking at Kory oddly.
"Of course. If I wasn't would I be here?" she asked.
"Uh, I guess not," Richard said.
"So we'll see you around," Kory said before walking off. Richard followed her with his gaze and once she was gone, he stood where he was.
"Did she just hug me?" he asked himself.
"Richard!" some random girl yelled, running forward. Richard gave her a once over and decided she would be his date for the night.
"Name?" he asked.
"Stacy," she said, smiling up at him.
"Wanna go for a swim?" Richard asked. Stacy nodded and smiled when Richard wrapped his arm around her waist. The new couple then began walking towards the beach where the real party was.
"Hey Richard!" some random guy called, holding up a beer.
"Go have fun," Richard whispered to Stacy before she went running off and Richard went over to the guy that called him over.
"Who are you?" Richard asked, walking over to a tall African American.
"I'm Victor Stone and this is Karen Beecher, my girlfriend," Victor said and Karen winked at Richard.
"Oh, what year?" Richard asked, sitting down with them.
"I'll be a senior, so will Bee," Victor said.
"Bee?" Richard asked, raising his brow.
"It's my nickname," Karen explained and Richard nodded.
"Well, nice meeting you," Richard said before standing up and leaving. He had only walked a sort distance before he was stopped again, but not by someone, but by himself.
"Is that Kory?" he thought to himself, watching as a thin, tall, tan, red head when running by in only a white bikini with a black haired, built guy went running after her.
"Must be," Richard said before walking towards them.
"Get back here Kory!" Xavier yelled, running after her. Kory glanced behind her to see how close he was to her and when she did, she ran into someone.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Kory said, looking up. She looked up and was caught in the gaze of beautiful, bright, blue eyes.
"No problem, have to expect it at a beach party," he said, smiling down at Kory.
"You okay Cutie?" Xavier asked, stopping next to them and catching her breath.
"Yeah, I just ran into…," Kory trailed off.
"Oh, right. I'm Allen Wavery," he said.
"I'm Kory Anders and this is my boyfriend Xavier Red," Kory said. She then began to blush a deep red from noticing how close they were. She did run into Allen, so their bodies were pushed up against each other and his hands were placed on her hips.
"Sorry," Kory muttered before backing away from Allen and returning to Xavier's side.
"Come on Cutie," Xavier said, taking hold of Kory's hand.
"I'll see you around Allen," Kory called to him. Allen nodded and then walked off in the opposite direction.
"He was nice," Kory said.
"Yeah, he was also holding you really close to himself," Xavier added.
"Are you jealous?" Kory asked, smiling smugly at him.
"No," Xavier quickly said.
"Aww! That's so sweet!" Kory said before giving him a peck on the cheek.
"No need to make a scene," Xavier said.
"Alright, let's just enjoy the rest of our night," Kory said before they headed off to the water.
