Woohoo! Speakerbox's comeback!
Sorry I was away for such a while… family issues. You do not want to hear about those, though.
I re-read all of my previous chapters. They sucked. And I was offensive
I'm sorry.
I'd like to thank all of my loyal… fans, and umm on with the show.
Here it comes… urr.

"Are you sure?" Her words. Her simple, caring words.
"Yes."
"Positive?"
"I said I was fine, Kori."
"But Rae-."
"Raven."
"You simply must go to wor-."
"I can't."
"But what about-?"
"Listen. You go, I'll be alright. I'm just having a guest come over."
"Rich?"
"No."
"Vic?"
"No."
"Than who?"
"So you want to be late?"
"Goodbye, friend Raven, may your spirits be well."
"Go, Kori."
It was a long night. A rather tedious one indeed. Irritable and annoyed, Raven sent Kori out quickly. Just another distraction for her to deal with. After coming home to a worried room mate, and that room mate's angry boy friend, Raven was miserable.
A tape and a phone call. That's all it was.
As Kori walked down the street she pondered on last night's activities. Was Rich angry? "Well, perhaps with Raven, but not with me." She kept thinking to herself.
And Raven's well being?
"You can be a bit paranoid, Kori but you must stop being so worried." She still tried to reason with herself. "Raven was fine, and you ruined your date with boyfriend Rich! You are quite foolish, you know."
It was then that she noticed the person walking past her.
"Kori?"
"Gar!"
"Kori, how are you?" his words. Croaky, but calming to a frustrated girl.
"I am alright. I am most probably late for my art class, but I'm alright."
"You're in college?"
"We could not afford it. But the next best thing, friend Gar! I am taking, what I believe is a 'college prep course'."
"Interesting." He said in a less than interested way. He was too busy looking at the apartment complex behind them. That is, of course, the complex Kori lived in, along with…
"And you? What of you, friend Gar?"
"I went into photography."
"Photography? This is some sort of combat?"
"Uh… no. I take pictures, and study tapes. Remember in high school? My three electives? You even took a class with me on it?"
"Oh yes, that is what I failed?"
"No, I thought you failed Home Ec."
A rather embarrassed Kori now began to walk forwards. "Oh yes, I do remember. I must be of the heading off to the class of art. Goodbye, friend Gar! I shall be seeing you soon?"
"Maybe sooner than you think," he said and walked into the apartment complex, and leaving behind a surprised Kori.
