Chapter 3: The Fake Truth

Kori looked at the clock as she sat in her 6th period class. Biology. She hated that class as much as Raven hated girls screaming mindlessly over boys. Fortunately the only good thing in her biology class was Richard as he sat behind her and scribbled something on a piece of paper. He then tapped Kori on the shoulder and passed the paper on. Kori took the note and opened it slowly, careful that the teacher would not see. For the next few minutes, the two wrote each other with the note.

"Talk about boring huh?" Richard wrote.

"Tell me about it. Ugh, I could die right now of the boredom I'm suffering through." Kori replied.

"Well, that's what we get when we get stick with Mr. Bolton for biology."

"Hahaha. You got a point. Hey are you coming over after school today?"

Richard thought for a moment. He again looked at the note. Of course, he was invited to her house like a million times. But every time they would ask each other over, it felt like a date for him.

"And don't forget, we will have a test next week. So study people." Mr. Bolton said. Just as he said this, the whole class groaned of anguish, dreading of the upcoming test.

Richard looked at the note that was unfolded in his lap and was about to write his response as the bell rang. Suddenly, most of the class rushed out of the class like a pack of hungry animals as they rushed out of the building that has held them captive for 9 hours.

Richard quickly folded his paper and looked up seeing that his best friend wasn't there, who always would wait for him. But strangely, she wasn't. Richard walked out the door and the first thing that caught his eye was Kori and Roy, who were busy in conversation. Richard narrowed his blue eyes and quickly walked over to Kori as Roy left.

"What was that all about?" Richard asked suspiciously. Kori looked at her best friend as if he had just offended her.

"What's with the angry tone? He just asked about some history homework that's all." Kori snapped. "Now let's hurry up and catch the bus."

Richard chuckled. "Oh and to answer your question, I am coming over, if you don't mind."

Kori gave a giggle. "Richard, you have been my best friend since like forever. Do you actually think I would mind you coming over?"

Richard again paused and thought sarcastically. Kori gave a grunted sigh and grabbed Richard's arm.

"Come on Einstein, we're gonna be late." Kori said and dragged him to the bus.

-Later that day-

"C'mon let's go to my room." Kori said as she made it up her carpeted stairs. Richard of course followed. Once they arrived at her room, they tossed their backpack aside.

Kori had an average room that had what every teenage girl would have. Some posters on the walls, purple walls, some books, a computer, a desk with homework and some photos, and a bed with some stuffed animals on top.

"Wow, this place looks different the last time I came here." Richard said as he sat on a chair and faced Kori, who was busy getting out books for their upcoming biology test.

"So what chapter was that test on again?" Kori asked as she continued to rummage through her backpack. Meanwhile, Richard just stared at her as a question appeared in his mind. Seeing that there was no response she looked up from her things.

"Hello? I asked what chapter the test was on." Kori said waving and snapping her fingers in her face. Richard finally came back and decided to ask her the question that was on his mind the whole day.

"I'll tell you, unless you answer a question." Richard said as he leaned back in his chair.

Kori raised a brow. "Oh and does this concern biology? 'Cause I really did not pay attention."

"No, it's something else." Richard said slyly. Kori looked up and stared at Richard and crossed her arms.

"What now?" Kori asked. Richard tried not to blush and fortunately, for him, it was working.

"Do you like anyone?" Richard asked straight out. Kori was taken aback by his question and couldn't help but blush a little bit.

"Why?" she asked.

"What? Can't I have the right to ask questions?" Richard asked coolly and crossed his arms.

Kori could feel her cheeks burn up and put her face down to her backpack to pretend she was looking for something.

"Well….yes," she said quickly. "Now what's the chapter?"

"Who is it?" Richard asked. Kori nearly felt like her stomach did a flip. Her heartbeat increased and she could feel her face blush like mad.

"It's no one you should care about." Kori said.

"Aw c'mon Kori. You can tell me." Richard said. Suddenly Kori got up and got a binder from a shelf and stayed there for a while.

"So?" Richard pondered. Kori thought for a second. She couldn't just tell him that she liked him! She had to think fast, so she turned around and took a breath….

"Well…" Kori started.

"Well?"

"It's Roy," Kori answered and sat down in her chair. But all Richard could do was just sit there and feel heart-broken.
