Chapter 10: History
August 30, 2010; Monday; 8: 32 a.m.
Gotham High School
Mr. Weir was talking about the theater and the stage. Richard, Vic, Karen, and Kori were in one group writing notes.
"Hey, Kori," Richard whispered.
"Yes, Richard?"
"Can I see your schedule?"
"Sure," she smiled and gave it to him.
Richard's eyes, under his sunglasses, scanned through her schedule.
"Wow. You got a lot of AP classes," Richard mumbled in awe. Not only was Kori pretty and friendly, but she was smart, too.
Vic's head shot up. "Can I see?"
Vic's eyes trailed around her schedule and his eyes lit up. "Dude, she has P.E. Competitive with us! And I have her for APUSH (AP U.S. History) and AP Chem!"
Karen joined in and looked at her schedule as well. "Looks like we're all having French together in third period. And I have you next period and APE (AP English)."
"Shhh! Group six, if I ever hear you talking while I am talking again, I will not hesitate to send you to detention. Understand?"
"Yes, Mister Weir," Richard, Kori, Vic and Karen replied.
8: 49 a.m.
"All right, class. That is enough for today. The bell is going to ring soon. Homework is to read pages 1 – 3 and answering questions 1 – 5 on page 4. I want this to be turned in at the beginning of class tomorrow."
RING!
While Kori and Richard were in the middle of their conversation, Vic and Karen grabbed hold of Kori's arms, one at each side. "Let's go! APUSH is at the other side of the school!"
Rachel walked towards. "Let's go then."
"See you later, Kori!" Richard called behind them.
"See you, Richard!" She shouted as Vic and Karen dragged her to their next class.
"Hey, Dick. Let's get to Physics!" Gar said.
"Yeah."
8:57 a.m.
2nd period Physics
"Hello, class. I am Doctor Light and I will be your Physics teacher this year. Take out your notebooks and open your books to the first page. This week we will be studying about . . ."
Richard and Gar groaned inwardly. They both knew this was going to be one of the boring classes.
"Dicki – poo!"
Oh no. Don't tell me.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe we have, like, the same class together!" Kitten said in a girly, flirty voice.
"Yeah," Richard scoffed. "Coincidence huh?" He looked beside him to see Gar with his face buried in his elbow and gave out a small whimper. It was a sad sight to see.
2nd Period APUSH
A middle-aged man wearing a white and blue striped coat, short, red cherry hair, yellow rotten teeth, and small square glasses came in the room with a black cane. "All right, my duckies. I'm Mr. Mod and as you know this is bloody U.S. History. I'll be telling you all about how the bloody Americans cheated on Britain. Get your bloody notebook out and open your bloody books to page 1 and read to page 26. You lot will be reading a lot of bloody pages because this is not a regular U.S. History class. Now, start reading, and I want a 5 paragraph bloody essay at the end of the bloody period. We'll see if you've got what it takes to be in bloody APUSH."
The whole class groaned and started reading.
Ten minutes later . . .
Kori sighed heavily. She just finished reading 26 pages in ten minutes. She can usually finish a 500 page book with 2 hours.
"Hey, you guys. How many paragraphs are we supposed to write again?" Kori asked innocently.
Their table was in a group of four, Kori sat next to Rachel, and across them were Vic and Karen.
Rachel turned her head to Kori. "You're done?"
Kori nodded again.
Rachel's eyes widened in shock, and so did Vic's and Karen's.
"What?" Kori asked, concerned.
"Nothing," Rachel replied in surprise. "It's just that, I've never seen anyone who could read so fast. I mean, I read a lot too. And, I'm only on page 13. Oh, and its 5 paragraphs."
"Thanks, Rachel," Kori smiled at her.
Vic leaned over and whispered to Kori's ear. "Don't worry, Kori. Rachel's just shocked that's all. She's an avid and fast reader."
"Oh." Kori replied in a mumble and started on her bloody 5 paragraph inclass essay.
9:22 a.m.
"Class, get into pairs and turn your books to page 4 and answer questions 1 – 20. I want this turned in at the end of the class," Dr. Light ordered.
Immediately, Richard grabbed hold of Gar's arm, holding it like a lifeline. Which was sort of the case.
Gar chuckled, "Kitten?"
Richard grimaced and nodded, still not letting go of his arm.
"Oh, Dicki – poo!" Kitten sang. "Do you want to be my partner?" She emphasized on the word 'partner.' Ew, now that's just plain gross, Richard thought.
"Sorry, Kitten. Gar's my partner," he quickly explained to Kitten.
Gar pretended to bat his eyelashes and said in a girly voice, "Oh! I am flattered, Dicki – poo! I am so glad that you think I'm much prettier than that slut behind you!" And then he giggled in a girlish way.
Richard couldn't help but laugh at Gar. He can be so funny at times.
Kitten fumed red and stomped her way back to her desk.
Richard and Gar gave each other a high five.
Kori cracked her knuckles and handed in her paper. Mr. Mod nodded his head, impressed.
"What was your name again, lass?" he asked in his fake British voice.
"Kori Anders, Mister Mod."
"Well, I have to say. This is a bloody good essay!"
The whole class looked at Kori. She flushed.
"Um . . . Thank you?"
"Now, go back to your seat and have an early head start on the homework, read pages 27 – 42. Answer questions 1 – 35 with two paragraphs each. It's due tomorrow."
Kori grumbled childishly and went back to her seat.
"Okay, let's split up the questions. You do odds and I'll do evens, cool?" Gar advised a plan to split up the work evenly so they could be done faster. To Richard's surprise, it wasn't a bad idea.
"You know Gar, that was one of the smartest things you could've said. It's not a bad idea and we can get the work done a lot faster," he grinned at him. "Good job, buddy."
"Thanks," Gar grinned proudly.
Twenty minutes later . . .
Gar and Richard were the first ones finished. They handed it in to Dr. Light. For being the first ones finished, they got extra credit.
"BOOYAH!" They both said Vic's signature victory word and gave each other a fist bump and another high five.
9:37 a.m.
"Whew!" Vic wiped the sweat out of his forehead. "Glad we got 7 minutes to spare. Class is about to end soon." Karen and Rachel both nodded in agreement, their fingers exhausted.
"Kori, how'd you finish so fast?" Rachel asked with curiosity.
"Well, you can say I'm a fast reader," Kori smiled and looked at her right and saw Babs from her class before.
Curiosity washed through her. "Hey, guys," Kori asked. "What's your history with Babs?"
Vic, Karen, and Rachel looked at her with surprise.
"You noticed that didn't you?" Vic asked.
"Yeah. When I met Richard in Harper Hotels, one of the reporters asked him if he was cheating on Barbara Gordon, which I assume is Babs, but he replied that she cheated on him. And now she's with Xavier. But when I saw Xavier in the hotel, he was flirting with me," Kori explained.
The three of them looked at Kori again with surprise.
Karen sighed. "It's okay guys, I'll tell her." Vic and Rachel nodded.
Karen took a deep breath. "Last year when we were sophomores, Dick and Babs started dating. They've been friends since they were third grade when Dick moved in a new school. They became best friends and usually best friends of the opposite sex fall in love. They've dated from the start of sophomore year to around April. But then there was Xavier. Xavier came into their lives in middle school, and soon he and Dick became rivals instantly. So last year, after she and Dick had 4 months of dating, Babs became attracted to Xavier."
Karen stopped and her hands were clenched into fists. Vic and Rachel had pained faces.
"What happened next?" Kori whispered.
Rachel answered. "The stupid bitch cheated on Dick. I've known Dick since grade school, we've been good friends, and I know that he had a hard past - which is why he rarely opens up to anyone, and the first person he opens up to cheated on him. Babs cheated on him for almost half a year. Dick found out about it at the end of sophomore year and he's been depressed for a while."
This time Vic came in. "Which is why Bruce sent him to Harper Hotels for the summer. So he can relax and let go. Bruce became furious when he found out that Babs, Dick's long friend, cheated on him for six months. But he changed so quickly," Vic's eyes softened. "He said when he met you two days ago that you were really friendly and nice."
Kori felt her face reddened. Yeah, she did like Richard. He was friendly and funny. Not to mention he was also handsome and charming. A bonus.
Did Richard really like her? I mean, Kori, a redhead with unnatural orange skin, abnormal green eyes, and unusual height?
RING!
Kori jumped in her seat. Her three friends were just looking at her.
From afar, Babs was glaring daggers at Kori.
IMPORTANT: I AM REALLY REALLY SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE, ESPECIALLY ANY BRITISH PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO READ THIS STORY. I AM VERY SORRY AND PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE.
