Chapter 13: Rain, Rain, Go Away

'Another rainy day.' Kori thought with a sigh. Kori slogged through wet gravel covering the dirt of the campus roads. She stepped into a deep icy puddle. Her whole jean pant leg from her sandals up to her knee was drenched in rain water, mud, and a few leaves. She let out a groan.

Then an umbrella went over her head. She turned around and stopped walking. Raven was standing there with a sly smile on her face. That was odd- Raven rarely smiles. "Jesse goes to this school! Jesse goes to this school! Jesse goes to this school!" Raven shrieked hopping around Kori but still managing to keep the rain away from her and Kori. Kori tried not to smile. Instead she blankly looked at Raven.

"Gar did some research on that bitch." Raven continued putting much emphasis on the word 'bitch'. Kori joyfully laughed. She just couldn't contain it any longer. "She's a frosh!" Raven squealed. They both shrieked some more and kept walking.

"No way! Jesse is a freshman?" Kori couldn't believe what her best friend had just announced to her.

"Way! But Garfield said that since he dug dirt up on her for me, I owed him another date. That's what he was talking about last night. It sucks. But girl, its gunna be worth dating Gar for!" Raven said. Kori stopped walking. Raven stopped a few inches after her. She turned around.

"What?" Raven asked her.

"You agreed to be Garfield's girlfriend so he could keep digging dirt up for you so you can tell me and help me resolve my problems?" Kori asked sounding a little angry. She didn't like when people sacrificed their life or free time to help her fight her battles. Kori liked to have a little dependence once in a while.

Raven shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess so." She said digging her hands into the pockets of her snow white puffy vest. Kori kicked up a clumpy and muddy rock. It smashed when it fell back onto the ground making it an obvious dirt rock. Kori laughed.

"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me." Kori said. She couldn't get mad at Raven, after all. Maybe Karen, Roy, Gar, Robin, Victor, Terra, Carmen, Kitten, or anyone else, but never in a forever could she get mad at Raven.

Raven smiled and the two kept walking further. They were just talking about the events that have been going on in their lives. They walked around the whole left side and front side of the campus until the got to the middle where their favorite tree was.

The tree was old and was there long before the girls were even thought of. It was tall and had one long, thick branch sticking out. The girls made two wooden swings and attached it to the swing. One would occasionally fall off, but they always tied it back on in a triple knot.

They made the swings the second day of their freshman year. Ever since anyone who wanted to would go a swing on it or relax. Some kids used it to be alone, others to relax, some to play their guitars or sing, and some couples loved it because they thought it made a romantic date.

Raven and Kori climbed onto the swings and dragged their feet into the dirt where grass once was until feet kept scraping along the green area. The two swung higher and higher while watching the football players run, and tackle, and slip, and slide in the mud.

Kori squinted to get a better look at the game. The sharp crystals of the fridge water falling from the stars were stinging her face and skin. It was beginning to rain ten times harder than before but they kept swinging, and the practice game went on.

"Is that – Roy?" Kori asked Raven.

"What?" Raven could barely hear here from either the strong winds, or the crisp rain being blown against their faces.

"ROY! ISN'T THAT HIM ON THE FIELD?" Kori screamed at the top of her lungs. Seconds after screaming she coughed numerous times. Raven was now squinting. Thunder rumbled in the distance.

"YEAH! YEAH, I THINK IT IS!" Raven screamed back. Kori, who was the closest to the tree truck swung sideways and kicked off the trunk. She grabbed Raven's rope of the swing and pulled her closer.

"Let's go home! It's too stormy, icy, and windy out here!" Kori said. Raven looked at her platinum watch.

"Kay! I need to get ready for my date with Gar, anyway!" She still yelled. The jumped off the swings and began running. Kori grabbed Raven's arm and wouldn't let go because she didn't want to let her leave her side. It was foggy, misty, rainy, windy, and everything else bad and Kori could barely see. At least if she got stuck out there in the rain, she wouldn't be alone.

"Kori! Our dorm is on the other side of the Central Quad! We're in back of the Coffee House!" Raven said pointing to the small three-story building.

"Yeah, but one- you need to get ready for your date, two- it's closed and three- I don't think I can make it!" Kori whined. Raven looked at her annoyed. She pulled her arm and began racing against the wind.

"Garfield and Slade are still in there! And they don't lock the doors until regular closing time which is ten at night!" Raven pushed the back door open with all her might. Kori was resting her head on the side of the dumpster not caring that her head was resting on filth.

"Ya know, I could use a little help here!" Raven yelled. Kori weakly pushed her way over to the door and pushed with her. The wind stopped blowing for a second and the door whipped open making Kori and Raven fall on the ground. Raven stood up, then Kori.

"Shut the door." Raven said looking behind the counter. The lights were on, Slade's laptop was sitting on the coffee table, the music was still on, but nobody was in there. Kori checked in the game room for Garfield.

"Why is the place opened on a day like this?" Kori asked.

"Garfield said him and Slade have to be here so incase the football players can't get back to their dorms they can come in here." Raven said opening the refrigerator and taking out an already made iced coffee. Kori looked at her. Then Slade and Garfield walked down the stairs.

"Girls? What are you doing out in this weather?" Professor Wilson asked them.

"Hey, Slade. I just got outta class. When I got up this morning it wasn't raining." Raven said slurping up the iced coffee. Kori hung her denim jean jacket up on the rack.

"I have the same class as her. So, what were you guys doing up there?" Kori asked them.

"Watching the weather. It's going to be like this all night so we're all trapped here. Then the football players will be stuck here with us, too." Garfield said. Kori and Raven gasped. Roy and Robin were both on the football team! Kori was going to be stuck there the whole night with the two and a bunch of other idiots!

Kori snatched her jacket, slipped it over her shoulders, and attempted to open the door.

"I've gotta get outta here!" Kori screamed. The door opened, thanks to the wind. Slade slowly walked over to her from the forces of the wind and slammed the door shut.

"No. You can't leave. You might get hurt. Plus, isn't your dorm on the other side of the Central Quad? Plus the gym and library and right in front of your dorm. You'd have a long way to go in just sunny weather. You wouldn't make it back to your dorm until at least midnight. And it's only 2: 42-" Then the door slammed open and drenched football players walked in panting and laughing.

Kori sat silently on the ground behind the door.

"I'm doomed." She said over and over again while banging her head into the palms of her hands.

DUN! DUN! DUN!

Okay, I didn't do an interesting fact thingy about me last chapter, so I'm doing two this chapter!

Unknown Fact About Me #2:

I am afraid of turtles. I don't care what kind of turtle- I just am. When I was five, I got bit by a snapping turtle. They HURT! Snapping turtles don't let go when they big you. It was holding onto my arm for like 20 minutes! Finally, my stupid aunt whom I hate heard my screaming and crying and came running. I don't swim in ponds, lakes, or oceans. After that, I only took showers. I never wanted to go in the bath tub. Good bye rubber floaty froggy, bubble bath, nope. I only took shower. Now, I barely like to go in my swimming pool alone.

Unknown Fact About Me #3:

Even thought I watched 'Shark Week' on discovery channel, I love to look at shark pictures and watch shows with sharks and movies with sharks in them, I'm terrified. That's the other reason I don't go in swimming pools. I know there aren't any in there, but I don't care.

Okay, I promise with some reviews –hint, hint- I'll update quickly. I'm inching to write the next chapter, but I need some reviews, first.

So, was it a cliffy?
