The Next Day, Kori's House
"Kori! Wake up!" Karen yelled, pushing Kori so she would get up. It was Thursday, the day before the dance, and Kori kept claiming it was Saturday in her sleep. It was currently dark out, a little light showing. Normally, they were on their way to school during sunrise, but that might be different today.
"No, it's Saturday. Go away!" Kori mumbled in her sleep, swatting at Karen wearily as if she was a fly.
"Here, let me try." Rachel said monotonously, walking over to Karen and the sleeping Kori. She grabbed one of the sequined purple pillows that Kori wasn't hogging and hit her in the head with it. Kori shot up, eyes wide, as if her house was under attack.
"OW! Are we under attack?" Kori asked timidly, pulling the blanket slightly over her face. Rachel rolled her eyes and Karen giggled uncontrollably. Kori glared at them and threw the blanket off of herself, switching positions so her legs were hanging over the side of her bed.
"KORI! Get ready! We're gonna be late for school!" Karen exclaimed, throwing a lilac corset and denim mini skirt at Kori, signaling for her to get ready.
"Oh, snap! I thought it was Saturday!" Kori shouted in return, grabbing the clothes and running into her bathroom.
"I'll be doing my make-up over there if you need me." Rachel murmured, walking over to the mirror on the other side of the room. She took out her purse and started applying eye liner.
Karen ran to her bag and grabbed some clothes, and ran out in the hallway into the other bathroom to change and put some make-up on and do her hair.
30 Minutes Later
"Shit! We're gonna be late for school!" Karen muttered, running downstairs to put her white and yellow etnies on. Rachel and Kori quickly followed, grabbing their purses on the way.
"Kor, which car are we taking?" Rachel asked, observing all of the cars in the huge garage. Kori looked around carefully but quickly.
"This one!" She answered, pointing to a light blue Mercedes Benz on the other side of the garage. Karen sighed as the three girls started running towards the car, arriving out of breath.
"Rachel, can you drive?" Kori asked, throwing Rachel the cars keys without waiting for an answer. Rachel stared at the keys blankly, then at Kori, then back at the keys. Kori started tapping her foot impatiently as Karen sighed.
"Give me those!" Karen demanded, harshly grabbing the keys from the goth. She opened the drivers side door and got in. Kori got into the passengers seat as Rachel got into the back.
"Kor, I have a question," Karen announced. "Who was the guy you made out with for that long?" Karen asked seriously, looking to the right to see Kori.
"Remember my last boyfriend Everett?" Rachel and Karen nodded. "Well, him." Kori blushed. She had been praying they wouldn't bring that up. But, of course, they had to.
At School
Kori, Karen, and Rachel arrived at school later than usual; five minutes before the late bell. They casually walked over to the guys, who were having a normal conversation.
Karen opened her mouth to say something, but Garfield cut her off. "Were have you been! You made me sit here with meat-man! How could you! I almost passed out from smelling that meat shit!" Gar exclaimed, pointing at Victor who was eating a piece of salami. Kori started to giggle when she looked at Victor, who was sitting there with salami in his hands and his mouth open, letting some of the meat fall out of his mouth. He immediately turned red and wiped the food off his chin.
"You girls should have been at Vic's last night. This guy called and said he loved Vic and that Vic should go homo! It was hilarious!" Richard said, laughing. Gar also started to laugh, as Victor tuned red and Karen nervously coughed. Dick's laughter quickly died down when he seen the look on Karen's face.
"Was that...you?" Dick asked suspiciously, carefully peering at her.
"Maybe..." Karen drifted off, turning around so her back faced everyone. Garfield had finally stopped laughing and had a worried look plastered on his usually happy features.
"Karen..." Victor started sympathetically, but was interrupted by the late bell. He looked at his friend one last time before heading into the building with the guys.
1st Period, Home base
Karen was quickly writing on a tiny piece of paper, hoping the substitute wouldn't see it. As soon as she finished, she quietly folded it into a small square and threw it on Kori's desk. Kori glanced at her and opened the note, making sure the sub wasn't watching. She quickly skimmed through Karen's neat writing.
I have to talk to you alone. Which means away from the guys and Rachel. Will you be on IM later?
When she finished reading the note, she grabbed her pencil and started to write her response underneath Karen's.
Okay, why? I'm always on IM; where have you been? IM me before five, cuz Richard's coming over.
Kori slowly folded the little not back into a square and threw it directly in front of Karen. Karen looked at Kori to see she was smiling at her, so she returned the smile. After she read it, she looked back at Kori– who was still looking at her– nodded.
Kori felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around. None other than Rachel Roth was staring at her, on the edge of her seat; literally, clearly wondering what the note said.
"I'll have to ask Karen" Kori whispered, causing Rachel to nod and sit back in her seat a little.
Kori turned to Karen. "Can Rachel see the note?" Karen nodded. "Thanks." Kori whispered softly, waiting while Karen took the note out of her purse. Karen handed the note to Kori, who gave it to Rachel.
(A/N: I'm gonna skip the rest of the day. It's unimportant.)
After School
Since Karen was going to Kori's house for a little bit because of something she had to tell Kori, Rachel was stuck to walk with the guys. They all lived pretty close to the school, but it was still a pain to walk because of the many hills.
"Can you be any more faster?" Rachel asked the three guys sarcastically, sighing in frustration. Dick, Victor, and Gar were casually talking, but walking slow. Real slow. 'If I had an apple or something else hard, I'd would hit them so hard with it. Wait...I have books!' Rachel thought, looking for her novel through the piles of books she was holding. 'Aha! I found it!'
When she found it, she grinned evilly and started walking towards the boys. When they seen her, they immediately ceased all their actions and stared at the goth.
"Rachel...what are...you gonna do...with those...books?" Gar asked timidly, pointing to the novel Rachel was holding. Rachel just grinned even more if possible.
"Rachel, put that damn book down!" Dick ordered fearlessly, knowing she might listen to him. Rachel's face softened and she put the book back in her pile.
"Fine." She spat, turning on her heel and walking off. Gar looked like he pissed himself, but just had to mess with Rachel.
"Somebody's got PMS." Gar announced, causing the other two to snicker and causing Rachel to turn around.
Kori's House
Kori and Karen were currently sitting on the leather sofa in one of Kori's many living rooms. Karen had been biting her nails nervously for the past ten minutes; not a good sign.
"Karen, what's wrong?" Kori asked gently, peering at her friend, who suddenly stopped biting her nails.
"I...think that I...like someone." Karen said quietly, not making eye contact with her best friend. Kori's expression changed from worried to excited.
"Really? Who?" Kori asked, a big smile on her face. Karen looked at Kori and let a giggle escape when she saw the excitement of her friend. When she remembered her situation, the giggles stopped and she frowned.
"Okay," Karen took a deep breath. "I like...Victor." Karen said softly, looking down in shame. Kori had an 'I-Knew-It!' face on when Karen glanced at Kori again.
"So?" Kori asked stupidly. Karen sighed, even though she was a 4.0 student, Kori could be pretty dumb.
"Kori, he has a girlfriend already!" Karen yelled in frustration. "I can't like him!" Kori looked at her understandingly. She wanted to help her friend in any way possible. Who wouldn't?
"No, he doesn't. They're just going to the prom together." Kori pointed out simply, trying to make her feel better. Karen sighed once again.
"It's weird, really. After dating Dylan, I've never let another man win my heart. And now..." Karen said lightly, trying to let out a soft laugh, but failed miserably.
"Karen..." Kori started, wishing she knew how to comfort her. "Who's Dylan?" Kori finished lamely, hoping that her question wouldn't hurt her friend even more.
"Well..." Karen hoped Kori had time, because this was going to take awhile. She was lucky Kori was patient.
Okay! Suspenseful? Probably not.Okay, the reason I picked the name 'Everett' cuz I like this guy named Everett. So, yeah. And I just randomly picked Dylan. Now, it's time for...POLL TIME!
