Rachel couldn't move, he had just kissed her and she couldn't believe it.

"Um Rachel are you ok?" Gar asked, getting worried because she didn't say anything.

"You love me?" Rachel asked, finally speaking.

"Yes, more then anything," Gar said and once Rachel heard this she pulled him into a passionate kiss. At first Garfield was shocked, but then he deepened the kiss. So there they were making out and our favorite couple comes by.

"Yes! They are finally together!" Kori yelled and made them jump. They quickly pulled away from each acting like nothing happened.

"I saw it all… and I'm so happy!" Kori said and then hugged Rachel.

"We should probably go home, it's almost twelve," Gar said looking at his watch.

"Ya probably should," Kori said and then started walking to the exit.

Over the next 1 ½ months, Kori has been acting more and more like Richard and Richard was getting worst. She still was trying to get him back to normal, but she was having lots of fun doing all the things she was afraid to do originally.

Last Friday Richard and Kori ditched school at 3rd period to go jump off a nearby waterfall. Did I mention into the freezing cold water? It was about a 25 food drop to the white water rushing below her. When she hit the water, Kori noticed just how cold it really was and it made her throat cold. Giving her the feeling she could breath. Richard jumped in after her and they soon started making out on a rock

(When I went to Dunsmuir I jumped off a water fall, but it wasn't that high. The water was freakin cold so I described how I felt… and to tell you the truth I started to panic. There were rocks you could sit or stand on that were still a lil bit in the water and that's were they started making out. I did not make out while I was in the water!)

So far, Kori's life as a punk trying to fix her boyfriend was pretty good. It was getting close to summer and when I say close I mean really close, like one week left. Rachel and Garfield were deeply in the love and inseparable. Victor and Karen had gotten together also, but that was no surprise.

Kate was still mad that Richard killed Xavier and everybody at school knew the first day they came back to school and saw the look in Richard's eyes and what he was wearing. Nobody would go near him and teachers tried their hardest not to get him mad.

FLASHBACK OF THE DAY THEY RETURNED TO SCHOOL:

It was like any other day. Get up, take shower, get dressed, put on makeup, and then go down stairs and wait for Richard. But today wasn't like any other day, no…. today was the day they came back to school. Today was gonna be weird.

Richard came down stairs wearing a red shirt with a black skull on it. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and red and black shoes. His hair was spiked and had red streaks in it.

Kori was wearing a black tube top with a red heart on it. She wore a pair of red short shorts and black flip flops to match. Her read hair had black streaks in it and she was wearing a pair of red heart earrings.

They walked to the corner where they met Rachel and Garfield holding hands. Rachel was wearing a green shirt with a pair of blue jeans. Her hair was down and she was wearing green high top converse. Gar was wearing a purple shirt and blue jeans. His green hair was spiked and he was wearing purple converse.

"Hey," Gar said with a smile and then they started walking to school.

When they got onto school campus everybody stared at what Richard and Kori were wearing. And they were also staring at Rachel and Gar's hand holding.

"Wow what happened to you?" Roy asked Richard as walked up to him and then looked at Kori.

"Wow… you are so fine"' Roy said and went over to Kori. But before he could say anything else Kori slapped him.

"I'm with Richard and if you're a good friend you'll stay away from your best friend's girlfriend," Kori said and moved closer to Richard who wrapped his arm around her slim waist.

"Still fierce, I love that about you," Roy said with a smirk and then walked away.

"What a creep," Rachel said and then walked off to her locker with Garfield. Just then Kate walked in a slapped Richard.

"That's what you get for killing him!" Kate said, crying.

"You already snapped me," Richard stated.

"Well that was for killing him and this is for pointing a gun to my head!" Kate yelled before slapping him again and then she ran off with Terra following. Everybody started at Richard as he walked by with Kori.

"Did he really kill somebody?" some girl said to her friend.

"Maybe that's why he's so different now," a boy said to his girlfriend. And then Roy walked up again with Allen.

"So Richard who'd you kill… if you did kill anybody?" Allen asked.

"Xavier Red. Shot him in the head," Richard said in a tone that said, 'I don't care that I did it, I'm actually happy that I killed him.'

"You killed Xavier?"' Allen yelled.

"Ya, you got a problem with that?" Richard asked him.

"Ya I got a problem with you killing Xavier!" Allen yelled.

"Why'd you kill him?" Roy asked.

"He was going to kill Kori," Richard told them.

"So you killed a guy to save some girl?" Roy asked and then Richard punched him in the face, giving him a nose bleed.

"Don't you ever talk about her that way!" Richard threatened before he walked off with Kori. They were walking down the hall the principal started talking through the intercom.

"Students, I need your attention. It is sad to say that Xavier Red was killed about a week ago," the principal said and all the kids stopped, but Kori and Richard. They kept walking to their lockers.

"That will be all," the principal said before he turned off the intercom. All the kids started talking and once they were in their class some guy from behind Richard asked,

"Who do you think killed him?"

"I did," Richard said blankly.

"WHAT?!" the boy yelled.

"I killed him, do you need me to spell it?" Richard said load enough for all the kids in class to hear it. They all looked in Richard's direction and then started screaming or talking.

"Quite," Mr. Moth yelled as he walked into the class.

"Why are you all yelling and screaming?" Mr. Moth asked sitting down at his desk.

"Richard killed Xavier!" a girl from the front row screamed.

"What? That's a lie. Richard wouldn't kill him… would you Richard?" Mr. Moth asked him.

"Ya I killed him and I'd do it again if I could," Richard said and then stood up.

"Come on Kori," Richard said, walking to the door.

"Where are we going?" Kori asked, standing up as well.

"Let's go for a joy ride."

"Finally! I was waiting for you to say that," Kori said and then walked over to him.

"And where do you think you're going?" Mr. Moth asked, standing up from his desk.

"For a ride," Kori said and then walked out with Richard.
