Thank you all for reviewing. At first when I knew I wasn't updating the story very often because my computer was down, you guys would loose interest. But you didn't, you stuck by my side and read and responded. That really shows support and encouragement, guys.
Chapter Six: Dates and Dunces
Kori plucked a small emerald into her ear. She glanced over at the time and quickly tinted her lips with lip gloss again before standing up, grabbing her purse, shutting off the stereo, and racing towards the door.
Kori had no idea where Roy was taking her, but she hoped it'd be elegant and sophisticated. She began running out the door but bumped into Roy outside her dormitory. He was wearing a simple black shirt with beige baggy shorts on. Kori was wearing a green short dress that if she began twirling, the bottom would go up some too and swirl. She was also wearing green sandals that had a small, thick, green heel.
There was a red motorcycle behind him that had a capital 'R' (Sound familiar? Well, it should) on the sides in black surrounded by a yellow circle. Kori's face lit up. She was excited about the bike, but wasn't actually sure if she should get on it or not. Roy tossed her a helmet as he climbed on it like a horse and started up the engine by turning the key in the ignition.
Kori looked down at the red helmet with an 'R' just like the one on his bike over the part where your eyes are. She frowned. Roy made the engine roar as if her were waiting impatiently for her, which he was.
"C'mon, Kori!" Roy called to her. She looked up. She knew this was a once in a life time chance. Sure, Roy would probably take her home on it, but even then, it was just nerve-racking. Kori understood when she got on it and they began driving she'd love it, but before exciting events happen to her, she always gets unsure.
But then she slid it over her head and ran over to the bike, climbed on and wrapped her arms around his waist. Roy sped away.
----------------------------
It was around a half an hour they were driving. Kori looked around. It didn't look like they were on campus anymore. She looked at the road before her and Roy. It ws very dark with some small streetlights every now and then. All that was there were them, the road, and the woods surrounding the road.
"Roy, where are we? This doesn't look like campus to me!'" She called loudly trying to over talk the powerful wind brushing her face and making her hair dance and swirl to its tune. They were racing against the wind and going pretty fast which made it even harder to hear and talk.
"Don't worry, we are." He replied. Kori sat back and relaxed a little bit. Being that Roy was there for her and trusted and supported her decisions when she found out about Robin, she decided to trust Roy this time and believe him.
Roy finally stopped and took the key out of the ignition. He got off and helped Kori pull the helmet off her head. He helped her up with one hand and placed the helmet on one of the handles with the other hand.
The restaurant in front of them seemed very elegant and sophisticated- what Kori hoped. It was a French resturant. She could tell by the name. Maybe she couldn't pronounce the name (and I couldn't think of the name…lol), but she could tell.
The two walked in and stopped at the front desk. It was cherry wood and the frame was carved into tiny fruits and vines and leaves. The man had a straight face. He had a tiny swirled mustache and was wearing a black and white pinstripe tuxedo.
"Table for two, please." Roy said wrapping her arm around Kori's waist.
"Very well." The man said with a sigh in a French accent. "Follow me." He added. He took the two onto the balcony. The full moon was lit right in front of their perfect. They were in the corner right next to the small fence keeping people from falling off the balcony.
The man turned the light on for the umbrella. They were green and shaped like leaves to match the metal work melted into vines and leaves like the balcony and indoor tables at the lounge/ coffee house.
Kori looked around nervously as she took a seat and got handed a menu. Roy took a seat across from her. He looked at her with a particularly weird look on his face. It was more like his eyebrow was arched so it was making his forehead crinkle a bit.
"Anything the matter?" He asked her. She looked around again with a sort of frantic look on her face. She bit her lip and looked at him again.
"Are you sure we're still on campus? I mean, I've never heard of-"Roy placed his hand on hers.
"I'm sure. Chill out." He sat back and flipped his menu back up to his face again. But he should've known Kori better. Kori would never rest until she knew where she really was. She stood up.
"I'm going to the bathroom." She lied. Roy looked at her, nodded, and then shoved his face back in front of the menu. Kori looked at him as she walked then began looking in front of her. She rolled her eyes. 'And he thinks Robin takes a long time picking out what he wants.' She thought.
She looked around searching for a waiter or waitress. She finally found herself going back to the front desk asking that somewhat rude greeter.
"Um, hello?" She tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around- still know showing any emotion on his face. Kori began to feel somewhat sheepish.
"Yes, miss?" He replied.
"Well, um, see, that guy I walked in with, he's kind of my boyfriend- okay, so you really don't care." She took a breath. "Where is this restaurant- to be exact?" She asked. He closed his eyes, sighed, and then opened them.
"Our restaurant is on the outskirts of Gotham City- four miles away from Gotham College, I believe." He said. Kori smiled sourly and nodded her head thank you. Then she trotted back to her table.
She whipped her purse up off the table and stormed off. Roy watched her. He immediately started running after he. Kori began to quickly pace. She finally made it outside. Then Roy made it back up with her.
"Kori, what's wrong?" he asked her as he placed his hand gently on her shoulder. She grabbed it and snapped it backwards making Roy squeal.
"Don't you ever lie to me again! She began pacing quickly again down onto the sidewalk.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" Roy barked.
"No! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for ever letting you touch me! I'm sorry for ever letting you take me out anywhere! I mean- do you think I'm stupid? You tried to turn me against Raven! What were you thinking? She's my best friend! I've known her longer than you! Much longer! Who do you expect me to believe- the girl that's always helped me up when I'm down and was always loyal and honest, or you- a stupid little boy acting like a total stuck up loser who only cares about him?" She began running once more.
"How are you going to get home?" He asked. But by that time she was already out of sight. There were some bushes moving. Roy figured it was just an animal so left it alone. Then somebody leaped out in front of him and began beating her up.
