Chapter Four: Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Kori dipped the brush in the silver and purple bottle then brushed it against her lashes. She quickly finished and then grabbed her lip gloss. She dipped it in the bottle and then smeared it over her lips. Raven was sitting on her bed watching her with a sly and triumphant smile on her face.
"You set this whole thing up didn't you?" Kori asked her while watching her from the reflection of the mirror. She laughed. "What gave you that idea?" Raven replied asking her even though she already knew what gave her that idea.
Then Raven's phone started ringing. She picked it up, pressed a button, and put it up to her ear.
"Hello? Oh, hey, Roy. Oh- okay. I'll see you in five." Raven hung up and grabbed her jacket with a big red X on the back. Kori looked at her.
"What's wrong?" Kori asked her.
"Nothing. Roy just ants to talk to me at the lounge about something." She replied.
"Oh, well could you ask him if anything's wrong. I came to the lounge with Robin this afternoon for lunch and he was acting incredibly rude to him." Kori asked her in an innocent voice. Raven opened the door. Kitten barged in and pushed Raven out of the way. She rolled her eyes and smiled and nodded at Kori as she closed the door behind her.
"Where are you going tonight?" Kitten asked as she attempted to pull the white pump off of her foot. It finally snapped off. Kitten went flying backwards into Raven's dresser. Kori giggled. She couldn't tell if it was because of Kitten's question, or Kitten in general.
"I'm going on a date." Kori told her sounding quite triumphant. Kitten smirked as she stood up and jumped back onto her bed. Kori was very excited that she got a date with one of the hottest guys on campus. But that's not why it felt good. It felt good because Kitten never dated Robin because he thought she was a slut- which she is.
"With who?" Kitten asked as she managed to pull the other pump off her foot without falling off the bed. Kori looked at her trying to stay straight-faced. It didn't work that well. She still had a slight smile on her face that wouldn't go away no matter what.
"Robin." She said simply. Kitten fell off the bed in astoundment.
"Yes, Kitten. Richard Grayson. The one you can never get to date you. Yes, Richard Grayson aka Robin asked me, Kori Anders out." She said. Kitten gritted her teeth. She smashed her pumps on her feet as she dialed a number on her cell phone.
"Terra, its Kitten. How fast can you get to my dorm?" She asked. Then the door opened. It was Terra with a smile on her face. She walked over to Kitten. She held her phone up to Kitten's face.
"The speed of light." Their phones got too close together and began ringing louder and louder. Kitten and Terra and Kori shrieked. Kori grabbed Kitten and Terra's phones and threw them out the window. The girls shrieked louder.
"I still had three payments on that!" Terra cried. Kitten shrugged it off.
"Oh well. I'll just tell daddy to send me a new one." Then they got up and left the room slamming the door behind them and leaving Kori in the room alone. Kori smirked with a frown sealed on her face. But then she smiled. A slutty witch and her stupid little servant weren't going to ruin this night for her. Nothing could, should, or would.

With Raven...
"Listen, Roy, Kori said something about you and Robin...Roy what are doing?" Roy was frantically running around nervously in a way of pacing. Raven arched her eyebrow.
"Thank God you're here. Robin, he's in the back acting really weird. He seems sick. Really sick. And not the normal kind. Could you go check on him? Last time I did he whacked me with a broom and threw a bag of trash at me." Roy told her. Raven bit her lip and nodded.
She ran to the back. She heard Robin singing. She whipped the door open and quickly closed it. Robin was sitting on a bunch of cardboard boxes. She eyed him suspiciously.
"Oh, Kori. You're here." He ran over and hugged her. Raven's eyes grew big. She threw him off of her. He fell backward into the trash can head first. He started rocking back and forth laughing and giggling. Raven rolled her eyes and pulled him out of the trash can.
"What are you doing? Kori will be here any minute! You need to stop- doing whatever you're doing!" She yelled at him. Robin began crying.
"What are you doing now!" She asked him.
"The angels! They've come for me!" He cried. Raven slapped him. "Cut it out!" She said. Then he started laughing and dancing around and singing a song by Bob Dylan.
"But I would not feel so alone! EVERYBODY MUST GET STONED!" he sang. Raven's eyes grew big again. Her jaw fell. She grabbed him by the shoulders and began shaking him. She stopped minutes later. Then he pulled something out of his pocket.
"I got you a flower!" He pulled a green-like plant out of his pocket. Raven screamed and whacked it out of his hand.
"That's no flower! That's a marijuana plant leaf!" She screamed.
Roy was on the other side of the door listening to their whole conversation. Then somebody tapped him on the shoulder. He let out a small yelp. He turned around. Kori was sitting right there.
"Oh, it's just you." Roy said sheepishly as he scratched his shoulder in a shy manner.
"Where's Robin?" She asked.
"He's in the back." Roy told her.
Kori walked behind the counter and looked through the glass window. Robin had Raven in a dip and was kissing her! Kori began crying. She ran out of the lounge and onto the green. It was raining down hard. There were mud puddles everywhere.
Kori didn't care. She kept on tripping over stones and splashing in mud puddles. She finally gave up running back to her dorm. She collapsed under her favorite shady tree. She fell right into the mud puddle.
Kori began helplessly crying harder and harder while throwing rocks and splashing water in the air. Then somebody wrapped their arms around her waist and picked her up. Kori had her eyes shut while crying and didn't want to open them. She began to cry herself to sleep.
----------------------
Kori opened her eyes. At first everything was blurry, but then her eye sight came into focus. All she could see was Roy hovering over her brushing her hair with his hands.
"What happened?" She asked him.
"You found Raven kissing Robin." Roy told her. Kori frowned. Her whole face was already stained with tears. Her nice red halter top short dress was all muddy and messy. One of her white boots had brown mud spots all over it, and the other wasn't even on her foot anymore.
Her hair was all tangled and knotted and there were dry clumps of mud in it.
Roy scooped her up in his arms and cradled her. Kori, who was still devastated at the fact Robin had lied to her about many things, just allowed him to hug and kiss her. She decided she needed a good man in her life that won't lie and abandon her for her best friend.
"Know the worst part about it, Robin lied to me." She told him.
"I saw. There was a marijuana leaf in his hand." He replied.
"And this afternoon he was saying that he hated people who lied about not doing drugs." She said.
"I know, I heard. But really, aren't you more mad at Raven?" Roy asked.
"No. Raven would never lie to me. In fact, she's the one that set Robin and me up. I've known her ever since I was about three. She has never lied to me or done something that would hurt me. I can forgive her." She said.
'Then maybe I shouldn't just be after Robin.' Roy thought.

A/N: Cliffhanger? Yes? No? Maybe so? Okay, totally random. Anyway, I just haven't had the time to thank all of you for being such good reviewers. I am very proud of you (And me! Don't forget me!) all.
Okay, ha-ha. So, obviously Roy set the whole thing up to get Kori to forget about Robin. But what about Rae? She's going to be a victim in this whole story too.
And don't worry. For one, that's the last time she'll ever kiss Robin in this story. She ends up with Beast Boy aka Garfield. And Kori doesn't end up with Roy. She ends up with Robin. And Victor ends up with Karen...and stuff like that. The usual.
Please remember to review! So far I believe all of you have reviewed every chapter. Maybe one or two of you didn't review the first, second or third chapter, but hey, who's keeping count? Well, I am, and you should be too!
You never know when I'll give honorable mention to some reviewers.
