Yeah, this computer works!!! Here is chapter 10 enjoy.

Kori thought over and over again about all that's been happening. She needed a distraction, she looked to her right and saw the numbers on her computer shining in bright red 2:15. Kori sighed school wouldn't be getting out until 4:00. so she took a shower slipped on some shorts and a sweatshirt. On her way out of her bedroom she put on her boots. Kori decided she wanted to settle things between her and Richard once and for all, whether he liked it or not.

She walked out her door and crossed the street. She is rich and lives in the same neighborhood as the famous Bruce Wayne but she has kept it a secret from her friends and Richard. It was an advantage because she wouldn't have to use gas, she could just walk. Kori straightened out her clothes and knocked on the door of Richards mansion.

She could hear shuffling from the other side of the door. Finally the door opened revealing an elderly mad in a suit.

"Ahh, miss Anders what a delightful surprise, but shouldn't you be at school?" The butler named Alfred asked.

"Hey Alfred I know school doesn't get out yet, but do you mind if I wait here for Richard?" Kori asked.

"Not at all Miss Anders." Alfred said letting her in.

"Thanks, Al I owe you." Kori said then rushed up the stairs.

Alfred just chuckled and shook his head, wondering if he should have told her that Richard had come home earlier.

-"-"-"-"-"-

Kori rushed up the stairs almost tripping on her own feet in the process. She ran down the hallway trying to remember where Richards room was. Finally she found it and decided to sit and wait. She was about to sit down when she heard a door knob twisting.

Kori looked up to the noise and screamed as the door opened. Quickly she ran out of the room yelling after her, "I'll wait outside."

Kori slammed the door shut behind her. She slid down on the wall to the right of the door. Her heart was racing. Why because she just saw Richard naked, okay not totally naked he had a towel wrapped on his waist but still. Kori took a couple of breaths trying to steady herself.

'What is he even doing here?' Kori wondered. 'But you did get to see a handsome guy' Kori told herself mentally. SMACK 'no no no I hate Richard and I am here for a truce so we can be friends, nothing romantic.' Before her mind could get into a full heated argument. The door to Richards room opened.

Richard threw his car keys on his dresser, he had came home to clear his mind from all the stuff that has been happening with him and Kori. Why cant she just tell me I can keep a secret, Richard told himself. Sighing he ran a hand through his ebony locks and decided to take a shower.

After a good 30 minutes of shampoo lather and repeat, Richard decided he should get out of the shower; he did have homework after all. Reaching his hand out to the knob he turned off the water and opened the shower curtain letting the steam spread through out the bathroom and the cold air to hit his body.

He reached out and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He walked over to the mirror and carefully put gel in his hair, it was his most prized possession after all.

Once he was done he realized he didn't bring his clothes inside the bathroom with him, Richard sighed and walked over to the door that lead back to his bedroom. He turned the knob and was about to walk into his room when he heard a feminine scream followed by a "I'll wait outside."

Richard closed his eyes in embarrassment now knowing it was Kori that had just seen him in only a towel. 'Great the girl you secretly love and pretend to hate at the same time just practically saw you naked, way to go Dick' he thought to himself.

He walked over to his dresser and put on a pair of sweats and a red t-shirt. Not wanting to keep Kori waiting he walked over to his door and slowly opened it.

At first he saw nothing, but then Kori's perfectly tanned legs came to view after he realized she was leaning against the wall.

Kori's eyes met his beautiful blue ones. She gave a nervous laugh and in response Richard just gave a smile. Kori was about to get up when she saw Richards hand in front of her face, at first she was confused then realized he was helping her up. Kori put her hand in his, ignoring that electric shock that went through it. In one quick motion she was on her feet.

They stood there staring at each other for what felt like hours. Neither Richard or Kori wanted to be the one to break the awkward silence that settled upon them. Finally Kori couldn't take it anymore so she decided on saying something but ended up rambling.

"I'm sorry I should have knocked I mean it is your room but since it's like 2:30 I thought you weren't going to be home so I thought why not and besides Alfred would have mentioned that you were here, right?" Kori said all in one breath resulting in her inhaling a deep breath afterwards. Richard looked at Kori for a moment wondering what she could possibly want with him, considering she practically ran off of school grounds after asking him to leave her alone.

"It's okay, I actually wanted to talk to you unless you want me to leave you alone." Richard said adding mimicking quotation marks when he said leave you alone. Kori rolled her eyes and resisted the urge to back mouth him, this is the reason why he is an arrogant jerk, Kori thought.

Kori gave a sweet innocent smile trying to hide her annoyance.

"Is that so?" Kori asked with a mysterious glint in her eyes.

"Yup, but first I want to know why your in such a rush to see me." Richard said.

Kori looked down trying to hide the blush that has now settled on her face. Once she was sure it had faded away she looked up at him.

"I wanted to talk to you also, but not here." Kori said eyeing the hallway. Richard got the point and grabbed Kori's hand and led her back into his bedroom. He walked over to his bed and motioned for Kori to sit next to him, she did as she was told.

"Look I know you have questions you want to ask, but I cant tell you anything about this afternoon okay?" Kori said.

"Why not?" Richard demanded he wanted to know what was wrong, and that if she ever needed someone to lean on he would be there. It hurt him to see her in pain and if this Jason guy was the cause of it he would teach him a lesson.

"Because you may not think of me the same if you knew." Kori said sadly.

That answer shocked Richard now it just made him want to know even more. 'What could possibly be so haunting' he told himself. He looked at Kori and noticed she had tears in her eyes.

"Hey Kor, don't cry you will be okay, I promise not to let anything to happen to you okay." Richard said pulling her into a hug. He heard a muffled laugh from Kori. She slowly pulled away with a smile on her face.

"You would have think that I should slap you for that." Kori said.

"Wouldn't surprise me." Richard muttered.

"Look I didn't come here to fight with you." Kori sanpped.

"Then why did you?" Richard said nearly shouting.

"I want a truce." Kori said casually.

"A truce?" Richard questioned thinking he heard wrong.

"Well yeah I mean we have been hating each other for so long and I think it is time to look forward and be friends." Kori said.

"So you want to be friends." Richard said trying to break it down making sure he got it all.

"Uhh yes." Kori said with a little comfusion in her eyes. 'Isnt that what I just said' she asked herself.

"Okay truce, I mean how could I say no, you already know me and I mean that in more ways than one." Richard said with a smirk on his face.

"Your such a pervert." Kori exclaimed while nudging Richard in the arm playfully.

"Hey if were going to do this lets do it right." Richard said sticking his hand out to Kori.

Kori smiled but obeyed and placed her hand into Richards as they shook on it.

Yeah they are friends now!!!
