Dedication: To the reviewers and those who voted.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans

Sorry about the wait! My acting camp started so I can't update as much. I've decided to start replying to reviews in here!

Kjl;ul;uip: Yes I know about the typos! I've decided to do Speedy (Roy) and X (Xavier) but X has a special thing I can't tell you about!

RoseXxxXThorn: Thanks; I didn't think people would find that funny but whatever!

Cartoonstar: Thank you! I agree about Kitten. I will probably just keep her in the story so I can make her break an arm or something. Quotes? Sorry, this is my first fanfic.

Kori giggled to herself waiting for the bell to ring by her locker. "KORI!" She heard someone yell. "Hello Richard." She said without turning around. He stopped panting next to her. "How is your head?" She asked. "Fine." Richard nodded rubbing his forehead. "What did you need?" She asked. "You know how our last gym teacher got arrested?" (That happened to my art teacher!) Richard asked. "Yea you told me about him." Kori nodded. "Well they finally found a replacement and so we have gym today." Richard smiled. Just then the bell rang. "Come on!" Kori called dragging Richard.

Kori sat in homeroom whispering to Rachel. "Yea I heard two new guys are starting today." Rachel whispered. "Why are they coming here?" Kori asked. "I heard they just moved here from really far away." Rachel whispered. "Oh." Kori grinned. "I hope they're nice." She smiled.

"Richard what is wrong with you?" Gar asked. Richard had been sitting there staring at the door or Kori. "Nothing." Richard growled. "Is this about the new kids?" Victor asked leaning over. "New kids are coming?" Gar cried. "Gar you're an idiot." Victor sighed. "Why is Richard worked about two new guys?" Gar asked. "They're guys!" Victor pointed out. Gar grinned. "And Kori's a girl." He chuckled. "Shut up!" Richard hissed turning to glare at Gar. "The new guys!" Gar cried. Richard whipped around.

Two guys stood in the classroom. One was leaning on the teacher's desk a cocky grin on his face. He looked very much like Richard but taller and with a more lanky build. The other one had red hair and was slightly shorter then the other one. Mrs. Char rushed in. "I am so sorry I am late!" She cried. "Oh, you're here! Please introduce yourself while I catch my breath." She huffed. The shorter one-stepped up. "I'm Roy Harper." He said rubbing a hand on his neck. The taller guy strolled up. "Xavier, Xavier Redd." He smiled. "Yes, yes. You two have the same day as Richard Grayson and… Miss Kori Anders. They can show you around." Mrs. Char smiled as the bell rang. Richard groaned. "Just my luck."

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"This is you Math class. And Richard and mine." Kori giggled. The two boys grinned at here. "Get in there!" Richard grunted. Kori glared at him but walked in and sat down in a seat. Richard hurried in sitting next to her. Xavier and Roy looked sad but found seats near Kori. Xavier whispered something to here and Kori giggled. Richard glared at him but Xavier ignored him. "You like Kori over there." Roy chuckled. Richard looked taken aback. "No!" He shouted. Roy still chuckled. "You just stay away from here." Richard growled. "Don't worry, I like here but I don't know if she likes me. If I find out she likes me be worried. You should worry more about Xavier then me. I went to school with him and he is a ladies man." Roy nodded.

Kori giggled. Xavier was very funny. She didn't notice the glances he was giving here but she did notice Richard glaring at Xavier. "Is something wrong?" She whispered. "I don't like him." Richard grunted. "He is being very nice to me!" Kori sighed. "Why are you so?" Kori wondered. What was the word Rachel used? "Jealous?" She asked. "I AM NOT BEING JEALOUS!" Richard screamed. "Richard Grayson!" Mr. Orin cried. "Sorry." Richard muttered. "Boys are strange creatures." Kori sighed.

After that Richard and Kori split up. Kori And Xavier went to Science and Richard and Roy to English. "What was up with your friend?" Xavier asked Kori. "Richard is, um, overprotective of me I guess." Kori shrugged. "I can see why." Xavier chuckled. "Why?" Kori asked confused. "He is afraid someone as pretty as you will be snatched up by some good looking guy." Xavier smirked. Kori blushed. "No. It's not that." She stuttered.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Richard your scowl reminds me of Rae." Gar cried. Richard just glared at him. Kori was expecting Rachel to yell at Gar for calling her Rae but she didn't. Kori peaked over at her and she was grinning behind her book. Kori giggled. "Hey Kori!" A voice called. Kori turned around. "Hi Xavier!" She waved. He went over to sit with Roy. Richard grunted. "Jealous?" Karen asked, she was sitting next to Victor. "I AM NOT JEALOUS!" Richard yelled. Karen just rolled her eyes and went back to talking to Victor.

"What are you two planning?" Kori asked trying to ignore Richard's mumbles. "Victor is going to take me to a movie on Friday." Karen smiled. "Look at the time! Lunch is over! YEA GYM!" Richard cried for a second forgetting to be mad. "I like you better when you happy." Kori smiled.

Richard stood in his gym clothes waiting for Kori. Kori skipped out. "I wonder who the teacher will be?" She asked. "I only know it's a guy." Richard nodded. "Boys and girls!" A booming voice called. Richard and Kori turned around. "I am your new teacher Mr.Slade!" There stood a tall man with dark brown hair. "This is not a goofing off class but since this is my first day we will play dodge ball!" He called again. Richard didn't like him, he didn't know why. Kori shivered. There was a foreboding feeling in the air.

Richard stood waiting for the game to start. Kori stood next to him. "Ready?" He asked. She nodded. The game started and Richard ran to get a ball. Kori stood back letting others get the balls. She stood waited for a ball to come to her and walked up to the line. She threw it and it went hurtling through the air. It hit Kitten so hard she lost her breath. "Kori!" Richard cried. 'What?" She asked. "I never knew you were that strong!" He cried.

Kori understood, it was an archangel thing. "I used to play soccer, and tennis, and volleyball back home." She nodded. She had played those with Rachel over the weekend. Soon enough Kori's team had won, a lot!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Richard leaned up against the school's wall. "Wow Kori." He gasped. Kori giggled. "I already asked everyone else in the gang and you the last. I'm having a sleepover at my house. Want to come?" Richard asked. "Sure!" Kori smiled. "I'm going to walk home now!" She called. "Bye!" Richard called. Kori ran off. "Cute isn't she?" A voice asked. Richard whipped around. It was Xavier! "You stay away from her!" Richard cried. "Calm down. No need to get jealous." Xavier smirked strolling off. "I AM NOT JEALOUS!" Richard screamed.
