Chapter 6

What are we, exactly?

Friend. What is the meaning of the word? Look it up in dictionary? Its just a word. Half of us want to be more than friends (a.k.a KORI N RICHARD!!!), but maybe, maybe we're just hoping...

Tears flowed out of Kori's emerald orbs and she ran. She ran until, she didn't know where she was. She wasn't concentrating on where she was going, what she was doing. All she wanted was to get away. Run away from everything. From the man she loved, from the truth...

When she finally stopped she found that she stood in the middle of a park. Well, more of a garden. The garden was huge and covered in well groomed carpet grass. It seemed that the garden was seperated into four parts. It looked like all the four seasons put into one garden. One part was all summer trees, another winter trees, one was filled with spring trees and the last with autumn trees. Now it was summer so the summer part if the garden was in full bloom.

An arm wrapped around Kori's waist and tried to pull her close. Kori immediately pulled away. She took a few steps forward and turned around, a dark look plastered on her pale, saddened face.

"Friends don't do that to each other! Friends don't hold each other that way!" Kori lashed out. She'd snapped.

"BEST friends don't kiss each other and say nothing happened!" She added, furious.

"I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND! I DON'T WANT TO BE JUST YOUR BEST FRIEND! I WANT TO BE MORE! I LOVE YOU GODDAMNIT!" Richard burst out. That was it. He had confessed. His head just hung.

After a little while he heard Kori laugh and he risked looking up. She was giggling with a huge smile on her face.

Then, it turned serious.

" If that's the case. Ask me seriously then." grinning from ear to ear, Kori was completely serious about what she had said.

Richard smiled.

" Kori Anders( I don't get it! Her real name is Korian'dr! Right?), be my girlfriend?" he asked seriously.

"Hmmmmm." Kori pretended to think," I'll think about it." and with that she started walking away.

A hand grabbed her and pulled her back.

Their lips met yet again. Kori smiled into the kiss and let out a moan of pleasure.

"Finished thinking yet?" he said when they parted.

"I dunno. Maybe you'll have to convince me more," she smiled. Richard was only happy to comply.

But she didn't give him an answer. Even after he dropped her home...

The next day at school...

"Morning Rae!!"

Raven turned around to face...Garfield Mark Logan.

"Don't call me Rae!" clearly she was in a bad mood that day.

"Awwww.Rae-Rae. What happened?" annoyed even more she closed her file and started walking.

"One of the stupid teachers started hitting on me today! Stupid, what was his name? Oh yea, Malchior! Stupid flirt."

The cheerful Garfield just disappeared just like that (snaps fingers).

"What.Did.He.Do.To.You.?"he asked, his normally cheerful face now stony. Raven tried to shrug it off as maybe just something else, but she couldn't help but feel surprised at Gar's reaction. But she was so angry she didn't want to think about that.

"He was hitting on me. He even pushed me up into a wall. Urgh! Conceited jerk!" she was a little calmer now. Okay. Scratch that, she was a whole lot calmer now.But for Gar, that was a different case.

"HE WHAT?" Gar roared. Nobody had even seen Garfield Mark Logan like that ever before. And no one wanted to see him like that again. By that time, the others had joined them and they too were surprised at his reaction. Even Victor.

"Oh come on. It's not funny Gar. You can stop it now. Thanks for making me feel better. I know you're there for me." Raven was the only one to see this as a joke.

"If you think he's pretending to be angry, Raven, you are so wrong." Vic said. He saw the anger in his best friends eyes and knew immediately what was going on.

"DID HE DO ANYTHING TO YOU?"

Raven just shook her head as a no. Now, she was scared. Which was so weird for her.

"He-he-he just pushed me up on a wall and tried to get close but I ran away."Raven was now restraining herself from stuttering,"But I kicked him, where it hurts, so it's okay."

"STILL!HE TOUCHED YOU. HE LAID A FINGER ON YOU.HOW DARE HE!" Gar stormed away.

"He went looking for him..."Vic said.

"Why? Why did he go there?Why was he so angry?" Raven asked.

"Isn't it obvious?He cares for you."

Raven stared at Gar's retreating figure.

Cares for me? Yea I know he cares for me. But I want it to be more. I want him to love me...WHAT?Did I just think that?

Raven finally realized. She loved Garfield Mark Logan?Nah.(Too early!)

With Gar...

Blinded by rage he stormed off towards Mr. Malchoir's classroom. Once he got there he banged on the door until Malchior came out, clearly frustrated.

"What?"

"What.Did.You.Do.To.Raven.?" Gar's voice was so stony and forceful that Malchior was practically cowering under him.

"Who?"

"Raven you bloody idiot! Raven! Purple hair, amethyst eyes, pale skin, pretty figured Raven!"

"Oh her? The one I sweet talked this morning. She was hot, man. I'd so do her in a second!"Malchior said gaining confidence.

Gar's eyes blazed. The sparkle that was usually in those forest green eyes of his, was gone and was replaced with anger, blazing in the dark depths of his eyes.

"You better shut up. Before he pounds you." Victor suddenly cut in.

"What?He her boyfriend or something?" Malchoir challenged(Sorry it's a bit OOC!!)."I think she's fine. Maybe she'll go out with me. Though she's got a good kick though. But she hit the spot. Oohh, she makes me wanna do her."

Sound effects: POP!

Gar snapped.

"Okay, now he's angry."

Gar threw a punch at Malchoir who got hit square in the face.

"Owww. What the hell are you doing?"

"Don't you dare say that about Raven. EVER! Got it?" Gar nearly threw another punch at him, but he seemed to think twice about it and lowered his hand. Malchoir took the chance and punched Gar before he could react.

"She's not yours. I can charm her all I want. Got it?" Malchoir sounded malicious.

Slap!

Raven's hand flew across Malchoir's face.

"Don't you EVER come near me again." she said venomously.

Gar, frightened of what Raven would do to Malchoir, quickly steered her away from him. Gar looked back and saw Victor and Rich talking to Malchoir.

"Raven, are you okay? A-A-A-Are you hurt?"Gar was silently checking Raven for injuries.

"Yea. I'm okay. Are you okay? Can you still teach?"

Gar laughed. That sparkle was back in his eyes. He was happy that Raven wasn't hurt or anything.

"I don't have any classes remember? That means, I can sit all day in the auditorium and crack jokes at your students."

Raven, seeing that he was fine already(he actually wasn't) clocked him on the head and walked away.

Gar carefully removed his palm from his face as he saw Raven's retreating steps. His hand was blood stained and his jaw was cut. He was surprised.It didn't seem like a very bad punch. How did he get a cut?

Almost immediately, dozens of girls was by his side asking him whether he was alright.

"I'm fine, girls. I'm fine."he tried to fend them off.

"Oh, but Mr. Logan your jaw is all red and bloody!"one of the girls said. Her voice was familiar. Very familiar.

Out of the whole crowd stepped out...Terra Markov.

"No wonder I heard a familiar voice. Terra."

He had met Terra on his first day at Jump City High and she constantly flirted with him. Only Raven, who had saw them, knew about it all.

"Oh!Mr. Logan you remember me! So, does that mean you have an interest?"she seemed overjoyed but in a whiney voice she had said that. Gar visibly cringed.

"No.I'm sorry. No interest."Gar flashed a smile and began to walk away.

As soon as he was out of the crowd his hand flew to his injury. In truth, it did hurt. A lot. He hurried to the auditorium and sat on the stage. The auditorium was empty so it was good that no one knew that he was there. He tried cleaning up with a tissue but it wasn't near enough.

"Gar, you always were and will be an idiot." Raven said wiping his jaw.

"My idiocy amuses you, am I correct?"Gar smiled weakly.

"Since when did you know the word idiocy?And amuse?"

"I read you know.But I suppose you didn't.There's lots of thing about me you don't know. No one knows.Uh, thanks."Gar took Raven's hand in his own and put it back down on her lap. Both of them were sitting at the edge of the stage now.

"Why, Gar?Why'd you do it?"

Gar was hesitant to answer. He breathed in and out and finally let out a long sigh.

"Raven, the truth is...

There. It's not much of a chapter. But hope you liked it! I don't think that's much of a cliffy though.GASP! What's gonna happen next?Review yea!
