Ugh, I needed inspiration for this. Had to wait a while for an idea, but here is it!

Took forever. Sorry.

OH, and to answer a question on one of the reviews, no, I do not write a bunch of chapters and then post them at once. I'll write one, post it, then decide to write and post another. You are not blind, lol :D

Don't own TT. Don't sue.

A few tendrils of Kori's hair stuck to her neck and the side of her face and she walked up the front steps to her school. There were students milling around all over the place, and no one paid much attention to the unbearably humid weather.

Kori smoothed out her purple tank top and calmly walked up the stairs to the main doors of the school. She let out a long sigh and pushed through one, happy to have decent AC.

Angelica and Jamie immediately rushed up to Kori and began talking at the same time. Kori glanced from one to the other as she tried to make out what they were saying.

"OHMYGODKORIAREYOUOKA-did he really- was there really a- what did the cop do?- does your sister know, better yet does your uncle know- Kori are you okay?-where is that prick?- I'm gonna kill someone- Kori are you okay?"

Kori shrugged and looked at the floor. Angelica and Jamie rushed at Kori and enveloped her in a huge bear hug.

"Aren't group hugs supposed to be for happy moments?" A male's voice scoffed. The three girls turned around and came face-to-face with Kitten, Terra, Fang, and Xavier.

"Ah, so there's that prick," Jamie mumbled. Angelica laughed once, menacingly.

"Kori, I think we need to talk," Xavier said icily.

"F-fine," Kori stammered. Xavier made her nervous.

Xavier smirked.

"Yeah, it's over," He said coolly.

"Thank X'hal," Kori muttered.

"What?" Xavier urged, waiting for Kori to burst into tears and fall to his knees. Just so he could walk away.

"I said, Okay, good. What do you expect me to do, crumble at your feet?"

Xavier's eyes widened in shock.

"Aww," Kori said, sounding more filled with hatred than she had ever sounded in her entire life. All nervousness vanished. "Are you upset because I did not crumble, crying at your feet?"

Xavier was silent, just looking into Kori's eyes with a blank expression on his face, mouth agape.

"I can assure you, you will get no sympathy from me," Kori continued. "I am not sad, but I am so happy that we are over. I will not do what the others will do, it is my choice, and you are just scum for thinking otherwise." She turned on her heel and walked away. Angelica and Jamie followed close behind; shooting death glares at Xavier, who was still standing in the same spot, his jaw dropped.

-o-o-o-

Kori turned the corner of the hallway, which was now filled with students rushing to get to class, and slid down to the ground behind a trash can. Jamie and Angelica kneeled down beside her and tried to comfort her.

"He's so worthless," Angelica said.

"Yeah," Jamie agreed. "I can't believe we were ever friends with him.

"You two will be late for class," Kori said in a monotone, staring off, straight ahead of her, into space.

Angelica moved in front of Kori and stared at her. Kori didn't move.

"God, Kori, stop that. It's creepy," she said.

"Go," Kori whispered, afraid if she spoke, her voice would crack and assert everyone to her wanting to cry.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Jamie said, concern dripping from her tone.

Kori nodded, and the two girls walked away reluctantly.

Kori leaned her head against the wall, and closed her eyes. She didn't know how long she stayed like that, only that when she opened her eyes and looked around the trash bin, she saw that the hallway was completely empty.

Kori sighed let her head drop. A tear slid down her cheek, despite her best efforts to not let it fall.

As Richard pulled into a side parking spot on his motorcycle, he heard the first bell ring. That meant everyone had 5 minutes before the tardy bell rang. He turned off the engine on the R-cycle and laid his helmet on the handlebars.

"Yo, dude!" Gar said, approaching with Wally at his side. "Heard about the scare on Friday night"

"Mhm," Richard mumbled, adjusting his sunglasses. They were sticking to his face because of the humidity. "It was... scary," he said sarcastically.

"Well, maybe not for you, tough guy," Wally said. "But you should have seen Kori. She was bawling"

"Kori was there?" Gar asked.

"Guess you didn't hear everything," Richard said. He turned towards the school building and stopped short.

Gar raised an eyebrow.

"What did you hear, Gar?" Richard said, facing away from the other two boys.

Gar gulped. "Umm..."

"Spit it out, Garfield." Richard said in a monotone.

"Well, I heard some people talking about how you beat up Xavier because he said something about your..." Gar gulped again. "Parents"

Luckily for Richard, he was wearing glasses, because he about started crying. Right then, right there. He took in a deep, shaky breath and wiped some water vapor off his forehead.

"Wrong," Richard said, controlling his urge to throw something at someone. "I beat him up because he was trying to rape Kori"

"Could'ya be any more blunt there, Dick?" Wally questioned.

Richard still had his back to his two friends, but he could imagine Wally's face as he said that. It made him want to flip Wally off, but he didn't.

Rachel would be so proud.

"Anyone seen Vic?" Richard finally said, turning around and actually facing the two boys.

"Oh, we forgot to tell you," Gar said awkwardly.

At that moment, Karen walked up to the small group. She stopped next to Gar and placed a hand on her hip.

Gar glanced over and smirked. "Karen can tell you," he said as he walked away.

"Karen can tell him what?" Karen said after him. "YO! Come back here, you coward! I better not have to tell him what I think I have to tell him!"

"Which is?" Richard said. Karen sighed.

"Vic was injured in a football game Saturday night," she said. "It was pretty bad. They're not sure if he can be put in a cast and heal. They don't think it will work. He's at the hospital right now"

"Damn," Richard said. He opened his mouth to continue, but he saw Karen's expression turn to panic and he felt a hand slink around his bicep.

Not again.

"Richy-poo!" Kitten cooed in Richard ear. Richard winced.

"Help me!" Kitten continued. "Fang's making me go with him and Terra to watch Xavier break up with Kori! I don't want to go anywhere with Fang!" She whined. "Tell them you won't let me!"

"Sorry, Kitten," Richard said. "But I want you to go with Fang." He ripped his arm from her grasp and stalked away.

As he hid from Kitten (which he was sure was in class) by his locker, the tardy bell rang, and he noticed he was the only one in the hallway.

"Shit," he muttered, as she slammed his locker and fast-walked down the hallway, turning a corner, and then another one, only to slam into a sobbing trash can.

"Anyone there?" Richard said, peeking around the bin.

WHOO! Finally! I hope someone actually reads my story, and I hope that I didn't kill my few readers by making them wait too long.

Tell me what you think?

OH, and I got a Fictionpress account. YAY ME! :)
