Kori took out her lunch money. She hated lines. She was so impatient and she hated herself for that. She knew she needed to work on that little issue of hers. That was one of many things she had on her mental list of things to do. She grabbed a tray and began to fill her plate with the "mystery" food that the lunch lady's said was edible.

Squish

Splat

Gerrrbul-gerrrbul

The food seemed to be alive and looking at her. Was it just her or did it seem that the food was talking and judging her because she was about to eat them. She sat at the table Victor had lead her to and with a face of disgust and fear pushed the tray as far away from her as possible. She heard Gar laugh as he saw her face.

"Don't worry. we've all been there." Gar said as he placed his own lunch on the table. "Yum! There's nothing like soy milk and tofu dogs!"

Both Richard and Victor looked at Gar as if he was a pink leopard with orange spots wearing a tutu (I have no clue where that came from). Kori looked at the walking, talking, staring food in front of her and then at the chunky pale food Garfield was eating. She started to gag. Richard and Victor started to laugh so hard their faces turned reddish purple. Gar shot them a death stare and took a big bite of his tofu dog, which caused Kori to gag more. Victor fell off his chair from laughing and Richard started to laugh so hard that he grasped his throat for air.

Finally Kori stopped gagging. Victor sat back in his seat and Richard gasped for more air.

"Hey y-you k?" Asked Richard trying not to start laughing again. Kori nodded and looked away from the food.

"What are you bozos laughing so hard about?" Asked a voice. Kori turned around to see a girl with short violet hair and matching eyes. She had on a black t-shirt and pants. She had a little make-up under her eyes. Kori looked at the beautiful girl.

"Hey Rae. This is Kori. She's new." Said Victor introducing the Goth to Kori.

"Hello! Is your name really Rae?" Asked Kori.

"No! My name is not Rae! It's Raven. Only Victor is aloud to call me Rae." (Victor and Raven are really, really close friends) Raven glanced at Garfield. He smiled sheepishly.

"So Kori saw the crape that Gar eats and the stuff that they serve here and started to gag! It was so funny! You should have seen it. Owe!" Richard rubbed his head and glared at Gar who held a lunchbox in one hand.

"I don't do funny." Said Raven in a voice so cold that it sent shivers down Koris spine. She sat by Victor and stared at Kori.

Richard watched as kori walk away after school and took a mental note as to what direction she headed. He turned to his three good friends, Garfield, Victor, and Raven.

"So do you think we should tell her?" Asked Richard.

"I think we can definitely trust her." Said Victor.

"Yah. I agree, we're already really good friends with her."

"I don't trust her." Said Raven in her monotone voice. Everyone looked at her to hear the reason as to why she didn't trust such a sweet girl who was already good friends with them after only one day. It felt like they had known each other for years. The four friends walked behind the school in silence.

"Ummm, why not Rae?" Asked Gar who finally asked the question they where all thinking.

"Don't call me Rae! It's Raven. What if Kori was like Terra?" They all fell silent. They felt a pang of hate toward the girl who betrayed them and blackmailed them.

"She's won't do that!" Richard spoke up.

"Oh! Does Richy Poo have a thing for Miss Kori?" Teased Victor. Forgetting for a moment about Terra. Gar snickered.

"Does Richard want to 'play' with Kori?" Said Gar trying to hold back laughter but failed when Victor burst out with giggles.

"Grow up you idiots." Stated Raven.

Richard tried to kick them but missed. He swung a pretty good punch and a series of karate combos.

"Dude! You getting pretty good!" Said Gar before he turned into a bird to get away more quickly before he was knocked out by a fist coming right at his nose. Victor caught Richards fist and twisted it behind his back. Even a strong boy like Richard could not get out of Victors strong grasp. Victor was the strongest boy in the whole city. Suddenly black energy surrounded the three fighting boys. They were torn apart from each other.

"Stop! ALL of you immature five year olds!" Raven yelled as she put them on the ground. They glared at each other for at least a minuet.

"Fine!" They all said in unison.

TEN MINUETS

Kitten saw Richard walking to his motorcycle. She walked over to him.

"Hey Richy poo!" Kitten squealed. She saw Richard flinch but she ignored it.

"Can you go away?" Richard asked as he put his helmet on.

"So you know that that new girl, Kori? She has a picture of you and kisses it every morning and night? It's true." Said Kitten.

"What? Are you out of your mind? Your perfume is getting to your head." Richard said as he got on his bike.

"And she wants to be your girlfriend…but only because she knows how rich you are!" Kitten said desperately trying to make up things about that new girl that he was beginning to like.

"Don't you have to go shopping or talk on you cell phone?"

"No, that's at 4:00 and 5:00 other wise I'm free and all to your expense!" Kitten said with a meow at the end. Richard looked sick.

"Kitten when will you get a life?" and with that Richard roared off on his motorcycle. Kitten narrowed her eyes. That bitch Kori Andrews is so…never mind. It will take a lot more to break the growing bond between her and my Richy. WAIT! I've got it. I'll make innocent Kori realize that Richard is my boyfriend. Thought Kitten.

Richard parked his motorcycle in front of the big mansion. He went through the big front doors with out knocking.

"Hello Master Richard. How was your day at Jump City High." Said Alfred, Richards's favorite butler. Alfred was like a father to him. Bruce was always doing his job are out with girls all night. It bugged Richard a lot but there was nothing he could do.

Sometimes when Richard was lucky Bruce would let Richard go with him to fight a villain. After all he was one of the best of the best karate/ ninja teenage fighters (what do you call what he is).

"Hey. Schools fine. I'm going up stars to do my homework."

I think we should tell Kori. Even if Raven says she could be like Terra. Kori isn't like her. I just now that she's sweet, innocent, trustworthy, loyal, hot, and I know I'd love to……WOW! What am I thinking? Stop Richard Grayson!

He just didn't know what Kori would think if she knew that Garfield could turn into any animal he wanted, Victor could make his arm be a mega blaster. Or that Raven had telekinesis, mind reading, and could heal and that he himself had fighting skills.

Maybe I'll just wait for a few more weeks and see how close we get. Was Richard's final thought before he slumped on his bed and fell asleep without doing his homework?

Kori walked into her room. She unzipped her backpack and pulled out her binder. Why do I feel so…so weird around Richard? It's been only one day and I'm begging to have a crush on a boy I hardly know. But on the better side I've made four new friends on my first day at a new school! Well I'm not sure about Raven but still! Maybe I can tell them about my being able to shoot star bolts from my hands, lazars with my eyes, and have enhanced strength. It would be so nice to have someone else who knows.

Kori looked out her window. She saw a boy on a bike and a girl playing jump rope. She suddenly saw a man staring at her. He was hiding in an all across the street. She blinked and he was gone. It was just my imagination. She looked again just to make sure she didn't see someone there. No one. She shrugged and opened her math book and began to work a problem.
