Chapter 3: Why now?
"Wake up"
"Ughh… Wha-what is going"
"Wake up damnit"
"Ma-mandy? What time is it"
"We have to go"
"Why? 2:47 A.M.! Where…? What about Ryan"
"Call your friend, Robin or something… to watch him for a while"
"You mean Rich-"
"Whatever. Just get a few clothes and meet me downstairs. I'm gonna get a few packs of gummi-worms. Ohh… look what I got you"
"Ohh sister! It's so beautiful.
"Yep, they match your eyes"
"Yes… how wonderful"
"Alright. Get your clothes already"
"Where are we going sister"
"Just get your damn clothes and meet me downstairs!"
"Hey you guys!" Victor jogged over to a bench where his friends were sitting.
"Yo, what's up Vic!" Gar said with a big smile on his face. Raven was reading a book that seemed to be titled "Poetry for the Dark". She waved to Victor as he came over, but not once looked away from her book.
"Well, on my way here to school, driving in my baby…" Victor always referred to his ocean blue '98 mustang as 'baby'. "I saw this cute little lady"
"AHHH! What the crap is vibrating on my a-" Gar yelled out of now where, but was cut off by Richard.
"My cell phone. I was looking all over for this." From this, Raven looked up from her book and smiled at the look on Gar's face.
"Hold on, let me take this call. It's Kori." He was staring at his phone and clicked the 'accept' button on his phone. He walked over to an empty tree and sat down on the floor.
"RAAAAAAVVVVVVVVENNNNN!" Gar screamed even louder and had a stubborn look on his face. "Stop laughing! It's not funny!" He continued to whine about this on and on for the next couple of minutes.
"I didn't even laugh. All I did was smile." Raven said in her calm voice. She had once again returned to her book and emotionless face.
"You guys are so cu-" Victor began, but was cut off by a stunning look from Raven. Her eyebrows were raised and it was just a look of irritation. "Ehh… never mind. I think I should get to 1st. I heard that chick I was talking about just came in. Imma check out if we've got some classes together"
"What's the girl's name?" Gar came about to ask.
"Umm.. Betty… Betty Klein. Yep." Victor said with a victory tone in his voice. "Well got to go." He then left giving Gar a little wink.
"Boys…" Raven said in a low voice catching the wink.
"What about boys"
"One word. Idiotic"
"What do ya mean IDIO-" Both Raven and Garfield turned to look at their friend Richard.
"Richard? Are you alright?" Raven asked as she pointed to the bench signaling him to sit down.
"Yah, dude. You look like you've seen a ghost. What's up"
"Ko-Kori"
"Yah! We know… she's like the most beauti-" Gar started out in a mocking voice as he gestured with his hands as he said this.
"No.. Sh-she's gone." Raven and Garfield then looked up at one another, worried.
"umm… It's ok Rich…" Garfield started to say, but struggled a bit. He gave a look to Raven that cried out 'HELP'
"Look Robin. It's going to be fine. This isn't the first time Kori has done this." Raven said to him with the most complete sincere voice. Kori has disappeared before and always called Richard. Richard look at Raven and looked as if he was calming down.
"Yah… Thanks Rae..." Raven just smiled and looked up at Garfield who stopped to sweat.
"B-but I helped too!" Garfield cried out. Raven just rolled her eyes and put her book in her bag.
"Stop whining Gar. Let's get going to History. Bye Richard. I'll see you in Spanish." She waved goodbye to Richard as she tugged Garfield on his collar.
"G-bye Ri-ich…" Garfield cried out as Raven continued to pull him on his collar. Richard smiled at his friend's childish manner, but he couldn't help but feel worried about Kori. He knew that she have left for days at a time, but this time he felt really bothered.
Victor jogged over to the gym for 3rd period. He began to do a few stretches and lunges here and there. Victor was a very big guy. He was 6 foot 3 and excelled on all physical educated related activities. He wasn't large, but fit; it attracted many of the girls in his school. He then saw a couple of girls over by the benches checking him out. He smiled and jogged over to grab a basketball and then went to the girls doing a couple crossovers with the ball.
"Hey ladies! Wanna check out the Cyborg play?" He asked the girls with such an egotistical manner. Cyborg was his nickname for his athletic body. The girls just giggled and some winked at him. Cyborg then ran over to the basketball court and shot some hoops. He made all of them.
"Woohoo"s and "Wow"s were shouted. One of the girls though, asked, "Do a dunk!" All of the girls began to cheer louder and clap their hands. "Alright hold up." Victor began to dribble the ball and ran for the dunk and SCORED! More cheers and roars came on from the girls. Victor, being the cocky guy he was, started to bow. He went to reach down for the ball when a foot was placed upon it. Victor looked up and saw a girl with puffy black hair into balled up tails at the top of her head. She looked familiar to him.
Victor stood up and asked, "Can I please have the ball?" He then took his hands out gesturing the ball toward him.
"Can you take it from me?" the girl questioned with sureness in her voice. She began to dribble the ball. Victor stared at her. She stared back. Hard.
"I can, but I don' wanna." Victor said with a raised eyebrow. He then took his hands and tried gesturing for them again.
"Nah… I want you to take it from me." She said, now doing tricks with the ball. Victor, getting tired of the girl's attitude, reached swiftly for the ball, but was not swift enough making the strange girl dodge it and dribble down the court for a lay up.
Victor was left speechless. He'd never seen a girl like her play.
"Dang girl." Victor said, checking her out. "You're pretty good. Are you in the team"
"Nope, I just transferred from the Murakami high school here to Jump City. But I'm going to talk to the coach and show her those moves I just schooled you in." She told him laughing.
"Haha, nah, you just got lucky." Victor said walking toward her. "So, what's your name and schedule? And… can I have your number"
"Betty Klein, schedule's in my bag, and…" She made him wait a little after saying this. She looked into his eyes. It made her weak in the knees. "Maybe"
"Hey! You're the girl I saw at the bus stop! You're pretty smooth with your words. Wanna come sit with me and my friends at lunch" Victor shouted with bliss. 'Dang, I've got some good taste...'
"Sure. I don't really know anyone yet, so it'd be good. I met this other girl already. I think her name was Ra-Raven... Yep, she was pretty dark, but was nice." Victor grew a huge smile on his face.
"That's great! Raven's one of my closest friends! If you think Raven's nice then you'll fit in fine with my friends"
"Cool..."
They both stared at each other for a few seconds when the shower bell rang.
Richard, Gar, and Victor were all sitting at a table in the cafeteria when Raven and Betty came. Victor stood up right away when Betty approached. Richard and Gar giggled behind him like two little school girls.
"Alright. Rae already knows Be-"
Victor was cut off by Betty who said, "No, I don't like the name Betty. It sound like I came from the 1800s. Call me Bee." Bee said with her daring voice and then nodded her head.
"Ok. So BEEEE…" Shouting it, making sure to Bee it was loud and clear to her. Bee just smiled. Victor continued, "…Just transferred here. Rich this is Bee. Bee this is Rich." Rich nodded his head to her and gave her a heart-warming smile. She smiled back. "Gar, this is Bee. Bee this is Gar." Gar gave him a goofy smile and a peace sign and she began to laugh. "Told ya, you'd fit right in." Victor whispered into Bee's ear. She looked up at him and smiled and took a seat.
Richard walked the hallways after the 6th period bell rang a few minutes ago alone. He missed Kori.
'Where can she be'
'I hate when she does this'
'She makes me worry like crazy'
'I need to know how long she's going to be gone'
These thoughts flew through Richard's head all through the walk to Kori's house.
'Kori is trusting me to look after Ryan till she's back'
Richard stepped up to the door and rang the doorbell. "Ryan! Ryan!" Richard continued to knock and ring the doorbell. "Ryan! It's me! Richard!" Richard went silent. He heard little footsteps coming toward the door. A little boy burst out of the door and ran to hug Richard.
"Richard! Wh-where's Kori?" Richard didn't know how to answer. He just hugged Ryan. It was a long time before any of them talked, but only sobs from Ryan were heard. After a few talk less minutes, Richard kneeled down towards Ryan and wiped the tears out of his eyes.
"Ryan. It's going to be ok. Kori will come back soon." Richard said softly as Ryan buried his face in Richard's jacket.
'Kori… Where are you?'
Yup, well that was the 3rd chapter. I thought it was kinda bleh… I liked the 2nd one more. But please don't stop reading. It'll get better! Promise! ;) I made Bee athletic and bold because she really is. I know Cy is more of a football type of guy, but I love playing basketball. Hehe…
Well stay tuned for more! I really appreciate the reviews too! Thanks a lot you guys!
