Chapter Nine: Smoothie Signals

Kori decided that just in case she needed to run again, she wouldn't dress formal or elegant. She'd go in simple ripped jeans with her Old Navy white sandals with brown spots from where her feet would be placed, and a plain yellow spaghetti strap tank-top with light blue and white thin stripes.

She put her hair up in a decent half-way pony tail with some parts hanging down. She put on a little blush and a vanilla-flavored lip-gloss. She grabbed the first hand-bag she designed and ran out the door.

It amazed her how she would race out just to see Roy. Every second she'd spend thinking abour Roy and/or Robin, it made her feel more like Kitten every time. Sure, Kitten would be juggling tweny or thirty guys at a time, but it was the same plot- sort of.

Kori ran through the double doors and into the library. Seeing all the books that she could crack open and read till doomsday, the smell of the books acient pages being opened with the smell of dust and chesnut, everything excited her and made her more thrilled Roy asked to me her in the library,

Kori looked around and decided that she should try and find the book she needed for her evening class. Just until Roy got there.

Then she bumped into him. Not Roy. The one person she never thought she'd ever see hanging around a library.

It was Robin.

Kori's jaw dropped and a small yelping gasp slipped out from under her breath. She was in awe. Robin looked as if he had made it clear that he loathed libraries. So why had he suddenly appeared in it- on the night of the first October game (football)!
Uh- um, sorry. Robin said sheepishly as he turned on his heel and began walking away. Kori sslipped the book she was looking at back onto the shelf. Then she quickly trotted after him.

Why are you, out of all people, in a library? She asked him.

Doesn't take a genious like you to figure that out. He replied sarcastically. Kori let out a small and practically silent growl between her lips. She despised when people would toy with her. She felt it rather flattering to be called a genious, but not in a statement like that one.

So, I know of this quaint little cafe around- He continued with a sly smile.

The coffee lounge? Kori asked hima lready knowing that's what he was talking about. He stopped and turned to her, face-to-face.

Hpmh! You really are a genious. So how bout it? Robin asked her. She turned to him but looked down at her feet. She began to shuffle then but moments later looked back up at Robin.

Well, I was meeting someone here, Robin frowned. but it's nothing, really. Robin's face lit up once more. They turned the other direction and went to leave.

Kori had no clue why she burned Roy off like that. But what really was a mystery to her, was why she wanted to be near Robin at that moment? She had never felt this way when she was around Roy.

But still, Kori knew she had ot keep her cool and stop herself before she fell deeply in love with either of them. Or worse- both of them at the same time. Roy lied to her, and Robin kissed Raven. There was no way she could trust either of them. But they were both great guys and both played a big part in her life nowadays.

-----------------

The two sat down on the balcany alone once more and took a sip of their smoothies.

Kori stopped taking gulps of her pineapple smoothie and relaxed her eyes on Robin. He was leaning back in the chair with one of his legs on the othr resting. His legs weren't fully crossed. Only one of them was facing the ground. He was drinking his coconut smoothie every now and then and watching the game.

At other times Robin always seemed insecure and unsure about himself- well, at least when he was around her. But at that moment, he seemed so- peaceful.

Listen, Robin I- Something caught her eye at the door. She turned to see who it was. She gasped and leaped underneath the table cloth and hid under the table. Robin slid under after her.

What's wrong? He whispered. Kori put her index finger up to her mouth giving him the quite signal. He nodded. Then two pulled up some of the plastic, ruber feeling tablecloth.

She guy said. Kori whipped the tablecloth down again. She had been found- and by Roy!

Dun dun dun! Another cliff perhaps?
