Kori's House

Karen had just recently finished telling Kori about how her ex-boyfriend, Dylan, cheated on her, abused her physically and emotionally, and how he had almost raped her. Kori was currently in the kitchen making hot chocolate for her. Karen was sitting on the couch, close to tears from reliving the horrible experience with her ex.

Kori walked back a couple of minutes later, carrying two steaming mugs of hot chocolate, and a bag of marsh mellows in her mouth since her hands were full. Karen's eyes slightly lit up when she seen the chewy marsh mellows. Kori laughed.

"I figured you would want some of these." Kori laughed again, indicating the marsh mellows. Karen lightly smiled and motioned for Kori to sit down next to her. Kori accepted the offer and opened her mouth, causing the bag of marsh mellows to fall onto the couch. Karen grabbed them and eagerly opened them. Kori carefully set the two mugs on the coffee table and sat down next to Karen, taking a marsh mellow and slowly eating it; unlike Karen.

"Should I invite the guys and Rachel over?" Kori asked, watching Karen think as she kept shoving the gooey substance into her mouth. She nodded hesitantly, and swallowed a mouthful of marsh mellows and taking a drink out of the mug.

Kori grabbed her purse that was sitting next to her and quickly took out her cellphone. She went on her contacts list and scrolled down to Richard's number. She pressed 'send' and put the phone to her ear, listening to "I'm In Luv With A Stripper" while she waited for him to pick up.

"Hey." Richard greeted, obviously already knowing who it was; thanks to caller ID. Kori smiled to herself. How did someone like her end up with someone like him?

"Hey, look, can you co--" Kori started, but was interrupted when Carmen walked in, followed by Corrinna, Tara, Xavier, Roy, and Jen. Carmen took one look at Karen and snorted.

"No wonder you guys are losers. I always wonder why we never have marsh mellows." Carmen said in a snobby tone, harshly grabbing the bag from the table and putting it in a kitchen cupboard.

"Come on, you can have something to eat. If you want." She continued, as Xavier, Roy, and Corrinna followed her.

"Kori!" Dick shouted from the other end of Kori's cell. She gasped; she completely forgot she was still talking to Dick!

"Sorry!" Kori apologized quickly. Tara and Jen cautiously walked over towards her and Karen and sat down on the couch. Karen looked at them suspiciously.

"What do you want?" Karen snapped, her eyes flashing and narrowed. Tara seemed taken aback, but it seemed to have no affect on Jennifer.

"We have to talk to you. We already know you hate us, but give us a chance to explain." Jen whispered, not wanting the four in the kitchen to hear what she was saying. Karen was startled and confused.


"What's going on?" Richard asked Kori curiously through the phone.

"Carmen and her little gang." Kori said, a hint of anger in her voice. She got up and walked into an extra room filled with couches, a TV, a stereo, tons of game consoles, a pool table, air hockey, etc. She went over to one of the many sofas and sat down.

"Oh." Richard said awkwardly. Kori giggled as she snatched the remote belonging to the 45" flat screen TV that was rarely ever used. She turned it on and switched the channel to VH1, her favorite channel. Hogan Knows Best was on.

"What were you going to say before Carmen interrupted you?" Richard asked smoothly, also turning his TV on to VH1.

"I was gonna ask you, Vic, Gar, and Rachel to come over. But..." Kori trailed off, turning the TV volume down.

"Oh." Dick paused. "Are you ready for the prom tomorrow?" He asked playfully, grinning.

"DUH! I'm so excited! I can't wait!" Kori exclaimed excitedly, smiling broadly. She was already sick of TV, so she turned it off and leaned on the pool table. Richard lightly chuckled.

"Well, I gotta go. Gar just came over cuz he said he needed some food." Dick explained to Kori, telling Gar to hold on at his house. Kori looked confused.

"Doesn't he have his own house with his own food?" Kori asked, utterly confused. She got up from her position on the pool table and walked back into the living room, where Karen, Tara, and Jen were talking.

"Yeah, but, you know him. Bye."

"Bye." Kori hung up her phone, walked over to the couch, and put her phone in her purse.


What Happened With Karen, Tara, and Jen

"Fine, I'll listen. But I'm probably not gonna like what I hear." Karen said, tapping her foot impatiently on the beige carpet. Tara sighed in relief.

"Okay, Carmen and Corrinna are really started to piss us off. We're mad at them, I'm not lying." Tara informed quietly.

"So?" Karen asked simply, having no idea where this conversation was going. But she had a bad feeling...

"Well, we plan on, leaving Carmen's little 'group'." Jen finished for Tara, whispering once again. Karen looked startled and unsure.

"Really?" Karen asked slowly, making sure all of this was happening. She absolutely hated Jen, and now she wasn't going to be a prep? Maybe even be in their little 'group'? It wouldn't work out if she liked Vic and Jen liked him, too. Or would it? Questions filled Karen's mind, but she simply shook them off for now.

Tara nodded, taking control again. "Could we hang out with you maybe?" She asked nervously and softly, still being aware that Carmen, Corrinna, Xavier, and Roy were in the other room. Tara's expression was blank, but Jen's was desperate.

"I'd have to discuss it with the others, but it'll probably be a yes." Karen replied somewhat bitterly. She was hoping that she could get close to Vic, but with Jen, Karen started to doubt that would happen. Just at that moment, Kori walked in, carrying her phone and going towards the sofa.

"Kor, can I, uh, talk to you in the other room? Alone?" Karen asked nervously, watching to see Kori's reaction. Kori lightly shrugged.

"Yeah, sure. Why?" Kori suddenly became suspicious, looking from Jen and Tara to the nervous Karen. Kori's question wasn't answered because two seconds later Karen was dragging her into the room she just came from.

"What's up?" Kori asked, sitting down on one of the many sofas and motioning for Karen to do the same. Karen slowly sat down next to her and started to explain.

"Well...basically, Tara and Jennifer want to hang out with us." Karen said simply, thinking that explaining this would be much harder.

"Well, they do like Vic and Gar. Why wouldn't they want to hang out with us?" Kori pointed out, making absolute sense.

"I...guess your right." Kori smirked. "I'll call the guys and fill 'em in." Karen said, getting up from her comfortable position on the couch. Kori smiled to herself and followed her.

"Did you decide, yet?" Tara asked impatiently, after she briefly stopped biting her nails. Kori shook her head no.

"We have to call the guys and Rachel. We can't make all the decisions, can we?" Karen muttered, dialing Rachel's phone first as Kori called Richard. Rachel picked up the phone on the second ring.

"What?" Rachel asked dryly. Karen was slightly surprised, but shook it off.

"We have to talk." Karen told her strongly. Karen sensed Rachel rolling her eyes on the other line.

"Don't we always." Rachel mumbled sarcastically. "About what?" She finished in a more serious tone. Karen shot Tara and Jen a quick glance, before responding to the goth's question.

"Tara and Jen." Karen whispered, bracing herself for Rachel's response.

"You're...kidding. Right?" Rachel asked, laughing nervously on the other line. Karen sighed.

"Well...no." She replied more confidently. There was a pause on the other line and Karen swore she heard a door open, and a booming voice yelling at Rachel and her mother, Angela.

"Look, I gotta go. My dad just got home. Yay for me." Rachel said hastily and sarcastically, emphasizing the word dad.

"Okay. We'll talk tomorrow." Karen said softly, hanging up her phone.


Kori's conversation had been close to Karen's, except there was way more yelling. All the guys were hanging out at Dick's that night, so Kori didn't have to call the other two separately. They all came to the agreement that they would discuss it more at the prom. Mr. Wilson was kind enough to give them the day of the prom off. But, Karen had left a few hours ago to her mother's request. It was currently 11:04, according to Kori's alarm clock next to her violet colored bed.

Kori sighed and switched positions on her bed. She was so excited and nervous about the prom tomorrow. Poor Karen and Rachel. They had no dates. The guys they like are for some reason going with the skinny blond and former goth. Luckily, Kori persuaded them to come and at least try to enjoy themselves.

Kari quietly took out her diary, lamely hidden behind her third pillow. Kori grabbed the locket hung around her neck and carefully opened it, revealing a small golden key; the key to her diary. Kori quickly shoved the key through the keyhole of her diary, making a small 'click' as the lock opened, revealing Kori's secrets. She flipped towards the middle of the small book and slowly turned a couple of more pages until she came across the first blank one. She grabbed a blue-inked pen from her night stand and began to write what had happened to her and others that day.

After about a half an hour of writing in her diary, Kori placed the small key back into her locket, locked her diary, put the diary away in the same spot she had got it, and placed the pen back on her night stand. Shortly after her head hit the violet pillows, Kori drifted off to sleep.


The Next Morning, Victor's House

Victor woke up later than he usually did on days they were off. He quickly glanced at his digital clock. 11:55 AM. Shit! He was supposed to call Jen at ten! Victor sighed in frustration and got up out of his bed and trudged into the bathroom to brush his teeth, etc, etc.

Victor was finally done about an hour later, making it almost one o'clock. He jogged back into his room to answer his ringing cell phone that was laying on his maple desk. He looked at the caller ID. Jen. Great, he was in deep shit.

"Hey." Victor greeted hesitantly, nervous if she would yell at him or not. He heard a sigh of relief from Jen.

"Hey. It's about time you answered!" She exclaimed, causing Victor to rub the back of his neck nervously.

"Sorry, babe. I woke up pretty late and I take as long as a woman when I get ready." Victor said shortly, chuckling a little. He heard Jen quietly giggle from the other line.

"Okay, I should've known. When are you picking me up again?" She asked, hoping that he remembered. She knew she should've wrote down what time!

"Uh...about 7:00. Where do you live?" Victor asked, sighing as he leaned his head back on his fluffed white pillows. He quickly grabbed a pen and a piece of paper; ready to write her address down.

"1804 Diamond Drive. It's right next to the Pizza Hut. It has a pool in the backyard and a wrap-around porch. It's a creamy white and the roof is a silverish color. Did you get all that or do I have to repeat myself?" Jen asked jokingly, wishing she could see the look on Victor's face.

"Nope, I got it all. I'll see you then. Not before seven, got it?" Victor asked, getting up and going over to his laptop. He turned it on and waited for about two minutes for it to turn on completely. He got onto the internet and checked his mail. 'This might take awhile...' Victor thought, listening to Jen slightly whimper on the other line.

"Fine, but I'll be missing you." Jen informed him. "See ya later." She ended, hanging up her pink phone.


Dick's House, 3:30 PM

"So...what are we gonna do for three hours?" Garfield asked from his position in the overly-sized pool. The guys were chilling at the pool barbequing and relaxing until they had to start getting ready for the prom. They had already ate, Gar had his tofu and Victor and Richard had real meat. They had been just sitting/floating in the pool for at least an hour; almost dying out of boredom.

"No idea." Dick responded in a bored tone, much like Rachel's. He got out of the indoor pool and climbed up the ladder to the slide and sat at the top of it. Victor rolled his eyes.

"Man, I hope you fall off or something like that." Victor said, as he and Garfield started laughing for no apparent reason.

"Whatever." Dick muttered, oddly finding a pebble on the platform connected to the slide. He grinned evilly and aimed it in between Gar and Victor. He fiercely threw the pebble at the aimed area and they got splashed slightly by the waves created by the small pebble.

"What the hell was that for!" Victor shouted, quickly going underwater to retrieve the thrown pebble. He quickly resurfaced and aimed the pebble back at Dick, who opened his eyes in horror.

"You wouldn't." He said, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. Victor smiled briefly and threw the rock back up at him, but with Richard's quick reflexes, and easily dodged it. Dick's head snapped back to Vic's direction. He slid down the water slide and splashed into the water; wanting revenge on Victor. Victor saw this coming and swum as fast as possible to the other side of the gigantic pool. He stuck out his tongue at Dick, who growled in response.

"Dudes, I think we should start getting ready!" Garfield exclaimed, already out of the pool and looking at the time on his cell phone. The two boys in the pool shot him a questioning glance. "It's 4:15." He continued, putting his cell back onto the table and rushing into one of the pools private bathrooms with his clothes to get a shower. Dick and Victor quickly looked at each other and rushed out of the pool, grabbed their clothes, and went into one of the many showers,


With Kori

The girls had gotten together at around one o'clock to hang out together before the prom and to get ready together, also. All three of them had gotten into the showers at least a half an hour ago, and Kori, the first one out, had just gotten done.

Kori inhaled the scent of her hair. Vanilla. Perfect, just how she wanted it. She grabbed her brush and started gently brushing through her shoulder-length auburn hair. Kori mentally counted how many times she had stroked the brush through her hair. Ever since her mother told her about combing your hair one hundred times before you went to bed, Kori had always done so. Kori opened one of the drawers in her bathroom and pulled out a hair-dryer. She carefully plugged it in and turned it on, drying her hair cautiously.

When she finished, Kori unplugged the hair-dryer, put it away, took out her curling iron, plugged it in, and waited for it to heat up. After waiting a minute or two, Kori began to slowly curl her hair, making sure it was completely perfect. As soon as she was finished, she examined her hair to make sure it looked okay. After approving herself, she lightly applied some hair spray. Before she changed into her dress, Kori took out a hair tie and carefully pulled her hair up into a bun like a pro. She let a few curly strands fall out of the bun in the back and let some strands hang down in the front.

Kori grabbed her dress from the hook on the bathroom door and changed into her beautiful dress (described in chapter 3). She walked back into her room and sat down at her desk, pulled out a mirror, and started to apply make-up that went well with her lilac gown.


With Rachel

Rachel had gotten out of the shower about ten minutes after Kari had. She quickly combed her hair and blow-dried it. She found a black hair-tie and put her short, black hair up and let a few strands hang down, similar to Kari. She nodded in approval and put on a decent dress she had found in her closet. It was a little longer than Kori's, maybe by an inch or two. It showed all of her curves and was sleeveless. Rachel thought it looked absolutely stunning and wondered why she hadn't wore it before. She silently grabbed her make up bag and started to put on her usual make up; seeing as she didn't have a date.


With Karen

Karen took the longest out of the three girls. She finished 20 minutes after Rachel. Karen, like the other two, blow-dried her hair. When she finished that, she put it away. She brushed her medium, brown hair. Instead of the normal two, she put her hair up into one bun. She sprayed a little hair spray she found on the counter on her hair and put it back where she found it.

Karen carefully changed into her dress and examined it. It was about as short as Kori's, had a slit on each side at the bottom, had spaghetti strapped sleeves, and seemed like it was made especially for her.

She walked over to where her make up was and applied red lipstick. She walked out of the bathroom and walked towards Kori's room and knocked.

"Kari, can I come in?" Karen asked through the door as Rachel came up behind her. There was shuffling heard on the other side of the door and Kari opened it. She moved out of the way to let Rachel and Karen in.

"What time is it?" Rachel asked in her usual monotone. Kari slowly got up and walked towards her clock, careful not to ruin her dress. She read the clock and turned around to face them.

"6:45. Are you guys riding with me and Richard?" Kari asked, walking back over towards them.

"If you don't mind." Karen responded, sighing and walking out of Kori's room. "Are we going downstairs to wait, or what?" She joked, walking backwards so she still faced them. Rachel and Kari exchanged glances and followed their over-excited friend.


With Victor

Victor had just arrived at Jennifer's house and was sitting in his car like an idiot, wondering what to do. He sighed and got out of his car. He hesitantly walked up to Jen's house and knocked loudly. A few seconds later, a woman in her mid-forties answered the door. She took one look at him and called for Jen.

"Come in." The woman demanded softly, motioning to a couch for Victor to sit on. Victor muttered a simple thanks and sat down on the comfortable white leather couch. He patiently waited for Jen to come down and when she did, his jaw dropped.

Jen was wearing a long, flowing, dark pink gown that was a little sparkly. It went down several inches past her knees and had one long slit on each side that went below her thighs. It was strapless and showed off her pale skin. To Vic, she looked absolutely stunning.

"Are we gonna go or are you just gonna stare at me all night?" Jen asked playfully, walking over to Victor.

"Yeah, let's go." He agreed, getting up from the couch and getting into his car, Jen following right behind him. He kindly opened her door for her and gently closed after she was in. He walked to the other side of his car and opened his door, allowing himself to sit down and change the radio station.


With Garfield

Garfield was on Tara's front porch, waiting for someone to answer the door. After a few seconds of him impatiently tapping his foot, a boy who seemed a little older than Tara answered the door. Gar assumed it was her brother, and politely asked if Tara was home.

"Yeah." The boy turned around. "TARA! YOUR DATE'S HERE!" He yelled up the steps. He told Gar she would be right down and he left the room.

Tara hastily walked down the steps, although she made sure not to trip on her way down. She smiled when she saw Gar standing there looking formal.

Tara was wearing a long, flowing yellow gown that went down to her tanned ankles. It was strapless and had a v-neck, showing off her silky tan skin. She walked gracefully off of the last step and casually walked up to Garfield.

"Hey. We going?" She greeted, smiling even more if possible. He simply nodded and took her arm in his, leading her out the door after she quickly snatched her purse.


With Richard

DING DONG

Richard nervously stood at Kori's doorstep, biting his lip as he waited for her to answer the door. He heard shouts from inside and immediately knew Karen and Rachel were over. Kari quickly swung the door open and looked at Dick sheepishly.

"Hi." Kari greeted in an exaggerated voice while Karen snickered behind her. Kari whipped around and glared at her viciously. Karen nervously chuckled and stopped snickering and Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Are they coming?" Dick asked Kari softly, looking at the two girls who were engrossed in a conversation. Kari quickly shot them a glance and slowly nodded her head.

"If it's all right with you, of course." She added loudly, causing the other girls to look at them curiously.

"Yeah. Let's go."


The Prom

Victor, Jen, Garfield, Tara, Richard, Kari, Rachel, and Karen arrived at the prom simultaneously. Victor walked over to Karen and Rachel with Jennifer trailing behind him like a magnet.

"Hey. I didn't know you two had dates." Victor said, chuckling slightly. He tried to read Karen's face, but she turned away too quickly.

"We don't. Why would you care?" Rachel snapped, realizing Karen's pain. Sometimes she wanted to just kill Victor. Vic's face softened and Rachel turned away and was quietly speaking to Karen. Jen caught on to the fact that Karen liked her man. That bitch would pay if she screwed things up with Victor and her.

"Rach, can I talk to her alone?" Victor asked Rachel, meaning Karen when he said 'her'. Rachel nodded and went to find Kari. She had to avoid Garfield at all costs. She just hoped no one noticed...


Dick, Kori

"So...what do you think about Tara and Jen?" Kori casually asked him, getting to the subject of their 'offer'. Richard looked taken aback.

"I'm not cheating!" Dick shouted, throwing his hands up in a dramatic manner, assuming Kori thought he was cheating on her. Kari lightly smacked her forehead with the back of her hand and sighed. He could be so stupid!

"I didn't say that!" She shouted back, slapping the back of his head softly.

"Oh."

"Yeah, 'oh'." Kori mocked, forgetting what she wanted to ask him.

"Why do you care what I think about them?" He asked curiously, reading her expression. Nervousness. Great, just what he needed.

"Oh! No reason..." She quickly lied, calmly drinking her drink.

"Do you think Corrinna will be here?" Richard asked fearfully, looking around to make sure Corrinna wasn't hiding in a bush and stalking him or something. Kori rolled her eyes. She knew Corrinna would come, but he could figure that out on his own.


If it says "Kari" instead of "Kori", I'm really sorry. My spell checker was being gay. Okay, this is just part one. I was gonna do the whole prom, but it would take much longer and I haven't updated in awhile. I have no idea when I'll have part two out, but hopefully it'll be soon.
