Chapter 7: So This Is How It Ends?
Kori arrived home and slapped her purse down. She was furious at Richard. Part of her wanted to rip him into pieces, but another part of her wanted to just smack Kitten down. This is all her fault right? Kori's face screwed into a look of confusion. She wasn't sure who to blame.
Kori had a restless night of sleep. She woke up early in a cold sweat. She walked slowly to her full length mirror. She looked at herself and gasped. She looked horrible!
Kori sat bolt upright in her bed. She was having a bad dream and was now sitting up in bed crying. She didn't know why she was crying. She felt that she needed to let things out some how.
I need to talk to him. That is the only solution. I just need to sit him down and have a friend to friend talk. He'll understand if he saw my point of view. Kori got up and showered quickly.
Kori chose the best outfit she could find; blue Hollister pants, a plain green t-shirt with a short sleeved jacket. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror, satisfied at her choice in clothing.
Richard's cell phone rang. It was Kori. He slowly lifted his phone from his pocket and picked up. "Hello?" he said apprehensively.
"Richard!" Kori was bouncing with excitement. "Thank goodness you picked up. I was afraid you were busy. We need to talk." Kori started to get serious.
"Ok. Where and when?" Richard shifted from foot to foot.
"Now and here at my house." Kori tried to hide the excitement in her voice.
"Sure. Coming." Richard hung up and started to walk toward the car.
Richard arrived at Kori's house and knocked softly on the door four times. Kori bounded down the steps, barely making a sound because she's so light. She flung open the door and pulled Richard into the house.
"Whoa! What's up with you?" Richard was surprised at her sudden actions.
"Well, I have to ask you something. Well it's not really a question but we have to talk." Kori stared at him straight on.
Richard tried to avoid her gaze, failing miserably. "Kor, what's this about?" Richard stared at her this time.
"You've changed Richard. Now you don't hang out with your regular friends. All you do is hang out with Kitten and her group of snobs and populars. It makes me so sad!" Kori started to sob.
"Kor. Kor. Kor. Don't cry. If you want I'll break up with Kitten. Right now too." Richard took out his cell phone.
"No! Don't do that because of me. I love you too much to let you throw your life away like that." Kori gasped, realizing what she had just done.
"You, love me?" Richard turned Kori around to face him.
"Yes." Kori was starting to tear up again.
"So do I!" Richard wrapped Kori up in a hung and kissed her passionately.
Kori kissed back, just as hard. This is going better than I expected! Kori smiled broadly to herself.

Richard walked up to Kitten, determined to not be denied. "Kitten, we need to talk."
"Oh. Thems be fightin' words." Kitten giggled.
"I'm not kidding Kitten. Listen. I'm sorry but I can't be your boyfriend anymore. I, kinda, found someone else." Richard smiled sheepishly.
"What!" Kitten roared. "Who is it? Tell me!" Kitten laid furious eyes on Richard.
"It's Kori." Richard said, not backing down.
"Kori! Kori!" Kitten screeched.
"Yes." Kori appeared having heard her name.
Kori was wearing an I Love Kitten t-shirt with a cute little kitten on the bottom and some faded jeans. "Kori." Kitten purred. "I love your shirt." Kori pulled out her shirt to show them all.
"Thanks." Kori smiled. "So did you need me?" Kori looked as innocent as she could.
"Oh no. I was just… Uh... Doing nothing. Hah!" Kitten turned to Richard and pulled him aside. "So this is how it ends?" Kitten pouted.
"I'm so sorry Kitten, but yes. Take care." Richard patted her on the shoulder and walked toward Kori.
Kori and Richard walked to the table with their friends and joined the conversation. Things are lookin' up. Kori smiled to herself.
