Dick
Katrina kept trying to send me these flirty looks and it got on my nerves. She had to be in my class. Silence hushed over everyone when a knock was heard at the door.I didn't know who it was but I was glad that Mr. Mod finally stopped talking. Whispers were heard and Katrina finally turned around. I looked to see what everyone was whispering about but then I saw it, well her.
She was a beautiful red-head with bangs that framed her face. She bit her lip in nervousness which only made me blush. I haven't seen her last year so she must be new. I saw other guys basically drooling over her which only made me angry. "Please tell me your name", I silently begged. And she did. Her name was Korina Anders but she's always called Kori. I kept my eyes on her when she walked over to me and sat down. I think I have stared at Kori too long because she looked uncomfortable as she quickly took a seat beside me.
"Mad" Mod told us that we would have to watch a stupid 30 minute video in order to start history and all my other classes better not have videos like this. As the lights turned off, someone handed Kori a note. It was just a note so it was none of my business, but after she read it she crumbled it up and tossed it in her book bag.
"Hey, are you okay? Who was that note from?" I asked curiously wondering why she had acted that way.
"It was nothing," she turned away, moving her book bag further away from me as if she was trying to hide the note. Maybe she didn't trust me. She seemed really nice and I would definitely like to get to know her. Hopefully, she's not like the other girls, who only love me for the money or for my looks. However, I guess it serves them right since I was a playboy.
"Hi," I started rather nervously even though I'm The Dick Grayson,"Hi,I'm Dick,where are you from? I finish asking trying to start a conversation. It's not like we're going to get caught, Mr. Mod looked asleep anyways.
"Greetings, Dick, my name is Kori. I'm from Jump City however I originate from a country called Tameran." she finished.
"Tameran," I repeated slowly. I must have sounded like an idiot to her. She sounded so uncomfortable and irregular when she said my name.
"It's a small country many people do not even know it exist." Really? I ask silently to myself, because I remember Bruce saying something about Tameran. Materoffact, we had to study Tameranians once.
"I know about Tameran," I say as I watch her face light up. The video is almost over. There's only about 21 minutes left.
"My real name's Richard, Dick is just a nick-name," I say so she doesn't think I have a weird name. (No offense to those who have that name)
"Hey, let me see your schedule, we might have the same classes. Besides, I'll need to show you around the school."
"Okay," she replied as she pulled out a sheet of paper from her bag.
"Hm, let's see," I said as I read over hers then mine. "We both have gym together and Math. Ofcoarse, not to forget lunch, there you could meet my friends."
"Friends? Oh, I'm not very good at meeting new people." Kori said as she hung her head down in shame. She was just adorable.
"Well, you were amazing at meeting me, how could they be any different?" I ask slightly cheering her up. "We sit in the middle of the cafeteria, just incase you were wondering. You most certainly are welcomed to join us. The bell rang, waking Mr. Mod up.
"I'll see you all tomorrow,my duckies!" He yelled as he got ready for his next class.
Meanwhile, I took Kori's arm, which was incredibly soft, and she giggled as I lead her out of the classroom. Suddenly, she stopped giggling and said, "Are you certain your girlfriend would not mind?"
"My girlfriend?" I said questionably as I thought what she meant and then realized.
"Do you mean Babs?"
"Was she the one wearing all pink?"
"No, that was Katrina. Babs used to be my girlfriend, but we broke up and agreed to only be friends."
"Oh," Kori said softly which made me smile which I almost never did, especially on the first day if school.
"Here we are," I announced as we walked up to the gym. "After you change into your gym clothes, you can meet me and a couple of my friends right there," I pointed towards the last bottom two bleachers, to the left of the gym. I gave Kori one last stare, she was just so sweet and beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Finally, after blushing she and I separated into the locker rooms.
Kori
I smiled. How kind he was and what a liar, what was her name,Katrina? I groaned in remembrance. I opened the door to the smell of perfume and the hotness of steam. Once, I walked all the way in the locker room I could see the lockers and I found an empty one beside a girl with two puffy pigtails, on top of her head. She looked strong and very athletic. If I had a choice to have a person on my team she would definitely be one of my first picks.
I was suddenly insecure about my body and having to disrobe in front of all these girls. I have been told many remarks on how my figure was not normal even though there is no such thing as a normal figure. The athletic girl beside me said,"Are you alright,girl? Don't be shy we're all girls here, I think."
"Sorry, I guess I was a little shy," I said admittedly.
"It's normal, don't sweat it. Save your sweat for P.E."
We laughed. This had to be the only nice female I have encountered, not including Ms. Debby.
"By the way I'm Karen, Karen Beecher," She introduced and I did the same.
"My name is Kori Anders."
Once I got dressed I came out with Karen with a white tank top and black shorts and said,"You can come sit with me and my new friend," as I pointed towards the bleachers where Dick said he would be. Karen smiled.
"I see you've met my friends," Karen said as she started walking towards the bleachers. I stared, very confused as I followed her.
"Yo, Karen!"
"What's up Vic!" The two hollerd at each other.
"Uh, Bee who's your friend over there?" Asked a short boy with blonde hair with green tips at the end. I thought it looked funny, but not in a mean way. A pale girl with purple hair slapped the back of his head and the tall, mucular guy called Vic laughed. The girl with puple hair hissed,"Manners!" I however, gasped in surprise. Why would she do such a thing to a friend.
They must have heard me gasp because Karen stated,"Don't worry this is normal behvior. Karen turned around to the group,"Guys this is-"
"Kori," finished a familiar voice.
I turned around and smiled,"Richard!"
"Hey, Kori this is Vic ,Rachel, Gar, and Karen," Dick said taking a seat next to me, pointing to everyone, matching their names with their faces. After everyone in the gymnasium warmed up a loud blaring whistile screeched and the coach screamed right afterwords," Who's ready to start off the school year with a friendly game of dodge ball!"
Some of the students groaned, lke Rachel and Gar, but others cheered, like Dick,Vic,(Hey that rhymed), and Karen.
"You all will get together in groups of six, write down your team name, and wait to be called out onto the floor!" The coach hollered once more.
"Dudes, we have to find another person to be in our group!" Gar panicked even though he said six.
Vic replied,"Man, are you blind? There are six of us."
"Really? Hold on maybe I miscounted. Zero," he said pointing to Rachel,"One," he said pointing to me but before he could go on any further Rachel stopped him.
"You idiot, you don't start with zero when you count!" Vic shook his head in shame and I giggled.
"Geez dudes, I was just kidding!"
Rachel rolled her eyes,"Yeah, sure you were."
"Hey, Riche-poo! Got room for one more?" Katrina came over and asked when clealy she saw we were already a team. Everybody in the group groaned and shook their head, and I was one of them.
"Katrina we know you see we already have six people and even if we didn't you'd be one of the last people we'd choose," Dick said irritatedly and I knewt the feeling.
"Are you sure you don't have room for just one more," she pushed me to the side so she could sit beside Richard. He seemed even more irritated.
"No we don't," he said pushing her out the way and pulling me closer towards him. I blushed and I thought I saw a blush on his cheeks too, but I dismissed the idea.
"Well, don't be upset when the "Pretty in Pinks" beat you brats!" she screeched as she, her two followers and three other girls I haven't seen before, marched away.
"Now, that that's over what should our team name be?" Raven asked out of the silence.
"I say we call it Titans!" Gar shouted in enthusiasm.
"You know, that's actually the first good idea I have ever heard come out of your mouth," Rachel said monotonously as she smirked at Gar who slumped.
We wrote our team name on the paper and "Titans" was the first name called. We walked out onto the floor and shuddered as the name "Pretty In Pink" was called. Both teams started at opposite ends of the gym and we waited for the whistle to blow. As soon as to did we all raced for the ball, however the "Pretty In Pinks" stood there, scared, filling their nails. Each one of them got hit and I smacked the ball in Katrina's face.
Everyone cheered and slapped the high-fives while Vic and Gar fist bumped. After we took a seat we mainly just talked, waiting for the bell to ring which it did and we all dressed out and met in the hallway.
"I have French next, Kori so I can't go to Literature with you," Richard said, disappointedly.
"I have Literature," Rachel spoke up,"You can go with me,"
"I thank you, friend," I said glad now I have someone to call my friend.
"We're not friends,yet," she adds that last part not to sound too rude, but I slump my shoulders and nod as we walk on.
Gar stops me and says, once Rachel is out of earshot,"Don't worry about her, she can just be hard to get along with. Trust me, once you get to know her she's a true friend." I nod and catch up to Rachel ready for Literature.
After School... No ones POV
Everyone was outside of the school, walking down the steps chatting. Kori now new most of Dicks friends, but some weren't present, on the first day of school!
"So Kori, what bus are you getting on?" asked Dick.
"Oh, there is not a bus that comes into my neighborhood besides I walked to school today," finished Kori as she continued walking. The rest of the group waved goodbye to each other but Dick was still walking with Kori.
"Do you not have a bus to ride or a car to drive to go home?" she asked looking up at him.
"Yeah, but I can't leave you walking home alone in the streets of Gotham, or any streets in that matter. Would you mind if I drive you home?" he asked trying not to be too sudden.
"Why, not at all,"Kori said as Dick lead her to his black mustang and opened the passenger side door. She giggled and slipped into the comfortable seat as he closed the door behind her.
Kori guided him to her house, they even exchanged phone numbers.
