Hola! Thanks for all of your awesome reviews and here's another chapter to power you all up again. Haha. And as usual, don't forget to drop by a review for me!

It was yet another day for the teenagers of Gotham Prep to go back to school.

7:30: Richard and Kori arrived in the driveway in time for the morning announcements. They headed over to their usual table where they gathered and waited for the others to arrive. The traffic was beginning to slow down now, and their friends should be arriving any time soon.

"Hey y'all and here's Jennifer Lee!" the annoying voice said over the loudspeaker "Today's lunch is…." And her voice kept droning on and on.

"Hey you guys," Victor said as he plopped down next to Richard.

"Hey," Richard said nodding over in Victor's direction.

"Hello, Victor," Kori said flipping through the nearest issue of Lucky.

"So I hear you two are going to Homecoming together. Is it true?"

"Yeah," Richard said. He looked as if he were peering over his sunglasses, but obviously, nobody could see his eyes.

"I heard that you were going with Bumblebee," Kori said. She took out her lip gloss and recoated.

"True," Victor said. That was when the clinking of shoes was heard and they could hear the familiar noises of Rachel.

"Hey Rach," all three said at once.

"Hi," she said. She seemed happier today for some reason.

"Are you… okay?" Kori asked finally looking up from her magazine. Rachel nodded. She walked over to Kori and whispered something in her ear. Kori jumped up clapping her hands.

"Has anybody seen Garfield yet? It's almost 7:40," Rachel said as she looked off towards the driveway of limos circling.

"Nope. Knowing Gar, he's probably still sleeping," Victor said. He looked at his watch.

"And now people, here are the nominees for Homecoming Court: For the guys: Victor Stone football captain, Garfield Logan, "Fang", and of course… RICHARD GRAYSON! And for the girls: Bee, Rachel Roth, Kitten, and Kori Anders. Congrats you guys!" Jennifer said over the loudspeaker.

"YES! We're nominated!" Victor said punching his fist into the air. "Where's Gar! I gotta tell him!"

"Isn't that wonderful?" Kori asked Rachel. She was blushing.

"Yeah, but it's obvious you and Richard are going to win," Rachel said smiling at her best friend.

"That is most untrue," Kori said closing her magazine and sticking it into the pockets of her overlarge Prada messenger bag.

"Suure," Rachel said not sounding like she believed Kori.

Class time…

"You will all be doing a project for two people… a film on the story we've been reading lately: The Great Gatsby. You and your partner may do whatever your young hearts desire, as long as it follows the storyline of the book. Obviously, there will be some sort of love in it," the teacher droned on and on about the project.

"I love this story," Kori whispered to Richard. He rolled his eyes.

"You actually do? Really?" he asked her. She nodded to him.

"Mmhmm. It's very sweet," Kori said.

"Kind of like you," Richard said jokingly. They turned their attention back to the teacher.

"It will be due in two weeks. Now get going… this is 25 percent of your grades!" the teacher said.

"Be my partner?" Kori asked Richard. He nodded.

"As usual," he said.

8:40…

"Garfield… no! It's purines hook up to pyrimidines. See? It's adenine equals thymine and cytosine equals guanine. Everybody knows that," Rachel said to her date for Homecoming, Garfield. He had made it in time for half of first period.

"REALLY?" Garfield said amazingly. Rachel nodded her head.

"How did you ever get to AP!" she asked him. Garfield shrugged his head.

9:20….

"So Victor, what are you going to where? I mean…. If you're my date you obviously have to wear something nice right?" Bumblebee asked as she watched her partner over the computer.

"I have no idea what I'm going to wear yet," Victor said with a shrug.

"You're hopeless."

"So are you."

Lunchtime at the Café…

"You know… I don't know what I'd do without Starbucks," Victor said as he sat down with his mocha.

"Well, I'm loving the fact that we have everything here," Garfield said. He sat down with his vegetarian sushi rolls. Richard and Kori were slowly walking together towards the table. They were busy talking. Richard had a pizza with soda and Kori had a small salad with water on her plate.

"Have you guys seen Rachel?" Garfield asked as Richard and Kori sat down. They shook their heads and continued talking.

"Richard… it is not that hard. You see…" Kori began. She took out a notepad and a fountain pen and began writing down a problem to show Richard.

"Yeah, but see… this can go into this. Therefore, my answer could be correct," Richard said pointedly stealing the pen from Kori. She stared at it.

"No, because…"

"God I'm tired of them talking about math all the time," Rachel said. She looked over at her two love sick friends.

"Homecoming is this Friday you know and it's already Wednesday," Garfield said. He smiled.

"I know," she said giving the smallest of smiles. Richard and Kori looked up and stared at Garfield and Rachel. They were too busy smiling at each other to notice anything. Then Richard began to eat his pizza and Kori bit into a piece of her salad. They continued staring.

"So.. uhh.. anybody in there?" Richard finally asked. Garfield and Rachel turned and looked at them.

"Duh," Garfield said.

Homecoming Day….

Kori drove out and towards the hair salon… the next place she was going. She had already gotten her dress: a dark red Versace with laces and sparkled Stiletto heels. Next stop was her hair, and she'd be all set. Then her phone rang.

"Speaking," she said as she came to a stop.

"Hello," a familiar voice said.

"Richard," Kori said. "Can I call you back? I'm driving right now."

"Yep. Just wanted to know what my date was wearing though."

"You'll see," Kori said and she hung up. Then her cell phone rang again. Kori gave an exasperated sigh and looked at the caller ID. It was Rachel.

"Hey," she said as she shook her head so the phone stayed on her head.

"Hey," Rachel said. There was a sound in the background.

"What's that noise?"

"It's my pedicurist and manicurist scrubbing," Rachel said over the loud noise of dead skin being cut.

"I see," Kori said. She looked at her watch. She had five minutes left before her hair stylist got mad.

"Hey, I'll talk to you later okay?" Kori said as she turned a corner.

"Kay," Rachel said. She hung up.

Later at the game…

Here was the moment. It was finally halftime. Kori was bouncing up and down. She looked beautiful with her hair slightly curled at the end, and the dress giving her a look that Richard drooled over when he had seen her. The guys all had tuxedos and the girls were wearing a variation of dresses.

Kitten had a pink strapless dress as usual, Rachel was wearing a black silk gown, Bumblebee was wearing a yellow and black dress that went down to her mid knees.

It was now the time to walk. Kori and Richard were last. They gave one smile at each other and sat down at the table next to Garfield and Rachel.

"And today's homecoming King is………
