Chapter 5: Heartbreak

For the past few weeks, things have gone from bad to worse for Kori and Richard seemed to grow apart. But the only thing that was even worse…was the only event that would ruin their friendship even more. Winter Formal.

Kori and Richard never liked school dance and never attended them. But over their summer, Kori and Richard promised that they would go at least once and of course with each other. But now, that promise seemed impossible to reach.

"Move loser!" a blonde girl said as she shoved her way passed Kori and a few other girls following behind her.

Meet, Kitten Robinson. Despite her good looks, she has a nasty personality and is apparently Kori's rival. Apparently, she's a junior and once Kori came into the school last year, it seemed the spotlight was stolen from Kitten. From that day on, Kitten was never nice to Kori and always looked for ways to make Kori's life miserable. Unfortunately, Kori's life was miserable as it is.

"Ugh, I so don't know what her problem is." Kori said as she walked to the girls restroom with Raven.

"Well, maybe it's cause your way more popular than her." Raven said.

"Well, I really didn't want to be popular…I didn't ask for the popularity." Kori said as they walked in.

Kori walked over to the mirror to put on her make-up.

"Well, maybe that's what your fate is. To be popular." Raven sighed. Kori sighed as she put her lip gloss in her purse.

"Well at times I wish I wasn't I lost my best friend to it…" Kori said. Kitten at the moment was about to open the bathroom door when she over heard their conversation.

Raven looked at Kori and noticed her dreamy state of mind.

"Oh my gosh, Kori…you…you like Richard don't you?" Raven asked placing her hands on her hips.

Kori immediately looked at Raven and blushed like mad. "No! I don't! Why would I!" Kori blurted out. Raven arched a brow.

"You expect me to believe that?" Raven said. Kori said.

"Do I look that obvious?" Kori asked. Raven nodded then smiled.

Kitten on the other hand smiled to herself, seeing the news on Kori's moody state and then went to go put her plan in action.

"You should ask him to Winter Formal." Raven said.

"Yeah, but there's only one problem." Kori said and sighed.

"Oh yeah, right…Roy." Raven said.

"Yeah, I just gotta tell him that I just don't like him. I don't even know why I kissed him!" Kori said.

"Well go now!" Raven said as the two headed out for the bathroom.

"Yeah I should." Kori said confidently and walked down the hallway seeing Richard at his locker.

Kori smiled and started to walk over to Richard until Roy blocked her path.

"Hey baby," Roy said and leaned in to kiss her. Kori pushed him away.

"Look, Roy, I gotta tell you something." Kori started.

"I'm listening," Roy said.

"Ok look…" Kori started off and then she saw Richard. The two then locked eyes for a moment. Kori felt like she would die as she saw the hurt in his eyes. She had to do this fast.

"Look, about the whole kissing thing. I didn't mean it. And I'm sorry that I lead you on. Truth is…there's someone else." Kori said. Roy stood there staring at her. But all he did was run his hand through his hair.

"Alright…whatever…," was all Roy said and walked away. Kori let out some air. That's done, and now for Richard. Kori thought and followed Richard who was about to enter his next class until Kitten blocked his path. Kori frowned and hid behind a plant, over hearing their conversation.

"Look, I wanna ask you something." Kitten said as she twirled her hair with a finger.

"What?" Richard asked. Kitten stepped closer to Richard.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to winter formal with me." Kitten asked. Richard was about to say no when the thoughts of Kori and Roy came to his mind. Richard sighed.

"Sure." Richard replied and turned to go into his classroom.

Kori felt like her heart was broken into a million tiny pieces, stepped on and was thrown into a fire. She could feel her tears well up in her eyes.

Kori slowly got up and started toward her next class until Kitten again bumped into her. Kitten smiled evilly at her.

"Oh, I just saw that you broke up with Roy. So who you gonna take to Winter Formal?" Kitten asked. Kori couldn't take it anymore so she ran suddenly burst into tears and ran for the bathroom. Raven meanwhile, who was watching from afar chased after Kori wanting to know what happened.

A/N: Well, as you can see I introduced another character for the story line! And as she is in the show, she is still the snobby spoiled rich girl as we all know. But as for Kori, many could say she had it coming, since she treated Richard so horribly before! Talk about karma! But anywayz, as you can see, there is more drama being added to the story! OoOo! It feels like a soap opera! But I will try and update as soon as possible! So reviews are greatly appreciated! Oh and again, thanks, to all those who have read that last chappie! Much love! So here comes chappie 6!
