Chapter three: Bouncing Bitch's Boyfriend
Richard turned around in his computer chair, thinking about his conversation with Kori. I was a little harsh, but it serves her right to just assume that I'd do that to her. He thought to himself. But by saying those things I was just proving her right. Man! I'm such and idiot! He stormed out of his room towards the kitchen.
"Would you like anything to eat Master Richard?" Alfred, the old butler, asked.
"Nah, Alfred. I just needed to think. I don't know why I'm in here actually." Richard looked around the kitchen confused. He spotted the phone and started to walk toward it.
"I might just be an old butler, but you know you can confide in me anytime, Master Richard." Alfred watched as Richard touched the phone.
"Aw Alfred! It's this girl. Actually it's not just a girl it's Kori! She's all made at me 'cause I decided to hang out with some new friends." Richard explained, turning to face the old man.
"Well who are these new friends, Master Richard?" Alfred inquired
"It's the popular group. My friends and I didn't really like them much before, but now they seem really nice. I don't know what changed." Richard took a seat on a nearby stool.
"I think I know what changed. Actually it's not the matter of what changed it's the matter of who changed." Alfred said speculatively. "If I am correct in thinking so, you are the one who has changed, Master Richard. Now you are a 'hunk' and all the 'popular people' want to hang out with you. If this is the case then, Master Richard, it seems that they don't like you for who you are, they like you for how you look." Alfred ended decisively and turned to walk away.
"Thanks Alfred. I'll probably break it off with them tomorrow."
"It is your choice to make, Master Richard." Alfred walked off.
Richard decided to go back to his room and wait for tomorrow to set it right with Kori. He felt that it needed to be handled in person.
The next day
Kori arrived at school later than her friends. When she got there she saw Richard talking with the populars. She walked over to Raven, Gar, and Vic and fumed.
"Who does he think he is just dissing us?" she sat down with a plop.
"Kor, he's over there to-" Gar was cut off.
"I don't care what he's doing with those….. 'people.' I never want to talk or see him again!" Kori said with finality. She walked into the school and toward the bathroom.
"Someone should follow her. You know someone who can go into the girls' bathroom." Vic said hinting at Raven.
"Okay. If you insist, I'll go. Just to help out a friend." Gar said, standing up.
"Not you, stupid, Raven!" Vic said, pulling Gar back into his seat.
"I knew that." Gar grumbled, smiling sheepishly.
"Pervert." Raven walked away.
Richard was trying to break it off gently with the populars. He didn't want to hurt them, but he also didn't want to be their friend.
"Kitten I need to talk to you." Richard approached the populars table.
"Oh Richard! Sit sit sit! You just have to come shopping with me! I want to pick out the perfect out fit for something special." Kitten smiled seductively.
"Um sure, but now we need to talk." Richard sat next to her and faced her.
"Yes, Richard, I agree. We need to talk. I have a seriously important question to ask you." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear to prolong the question. "Well you see I really like you. Not just like but like like. I was wondering if you'd like to be my boyfriend." She blushed a slight shade of pink.
"Um yeah. Sure, I'd love to go out with you." The words flew out of his mouth before he could realize what he said.
"Oh Richard! You have made me the happiest girl alive!" Kitten stood up and started bouncing around.
"Uh Kitten wait. I didn't-" Richard started to say.
"Oh I have to tell everyone!" Kitten ran off towards the table Vic and Gar are sitting at.
Richard's face flushed white. "Kitten, no!"
Kitten bounded up to Vic and Gar. "Guess what. I am the very proud girlfriend of… RICHARD GRAYSON!"
Vic and Gar stared at her in disbelief. They turned their gaze to Richard who was still sitting at the populars table. Their gazes turned cold and they quickly stood up and stormed into the school.
Raven had looked everywhere for Kori. She wasn't in the bathroom, she wasn't in the halls. The only place she hadn't checked was Kori's homeroom classroom.
Raven walked to the room and stopped at the door. She could hear faint crying coming from inside. She pushed open the door and walked to Kori's side. "It's okay, Kor. Richard isn't worth your tears. He's not worth anything at this moment." Raven rubbed Kori's back for comfort.
At that moment Gar and Vic burst into the room. "You two won't believe what we just heard!" they both shouted simultaneously.
"What is it you two?" Raven asked.
"Richard is going out with kitten!" Gar blurted out.
"What!" Kori's head shot up. She stood up and stomped past Gar and Vic.
How could he do that to me? Why would he do that to me? I'm his best friend! I'm so mad at him I'm not even blaming that bitch. Wow that's mad. Kori stomped to her car and decided to go home. No one can tell me I can't go home. Plus I live alone, I won't get in trouble.
Kori reached her house and pushed past the maids. "Miss Kori, you are home early. Was school cancelled?" a maid named Sarasim asked.
"I don't need to answer to you!" Kori ran up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door.
Kori lied face down on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
Dream Sequence:
Kori was walking happily down the halls of Jump City High. She turned a corner and saw her best friend, Richard Grayson. She ran up to him and attempted to hug him, but, from out of nowhere, a perfectly manicured hand slapped her across the face.
Kori turned and saw a blue eyed blonde girl staring daggers into her. "What's your problem, bitch?" Kori glared at the girl.
"Look whose talking, whore. Don't you dare touch my boyfriend." The girl screeched
"B-b-boyfriend?" Kori stammered.
"Yes. I'm her boyfriend." Richard said before planting a huge passionate kiss on Kitten's lips.
Kori stared in shock. The ground opened up under her. She fell through a large crack in the floor. She opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out. She flailed her arms and tried to hold on to the sides of the chasm.
Richard stepped over to the chasm with his arm around Kitten. He looked down at Kori as she tried to grab his hand.
"Richard save me!" Tears streamed down Kori's face.
"Sorry. To busy with my hands around my beautiful girlfriend." Richard stared down at her as her eyebrows furrowed.
"Fine! Leave me so you can be that bouncing bitch's boyfriend! I hate you." She shouted, forgetting her surroundings. "Ahhhhh!" she screamed as darkness surrounded her and she fell deeper and deeper into the chasm. She was reaching the bottom of the crack. In an instant she fell upon sharp jagged rocks.
End Dream
Kori woke up with a start. She started breathing heavily and she was sweating profusely. She walked to the bathroom and splashed her face. She walked back to her bed and looked at the clock on her cell phone. She was going to be late for school!
