I am really sorry about the late update guys! I know I was a jerk...mmm... beef jerky O.O
Disclaimer: Guys Guess What! I Stole the Teen Titans!...
Kidding, I'm way to lazy to that today so here's the chapter...
Sleep Over
Kori
I am sitting in the library, with my head in my arms, replaying the whole scene that just happened. Rachel and Gar are upset with each other or were. Katrina, also known as, the slutty bitch who stole Richard from me... and Richard. He invited Barbra, whom I am informed, is his ex-girlfried.
Thinking about all of this suddenly makes me want to cry. However, I cannot. Not right now. My phone buzzes three times in a row. I immediately get shushed by the old librarian. "Sorry," I whisper. She squints at me.
Am I the only one who comes to the library during lunch? It was so empty. I take a look at my phone and read my text messages. They are all from Richard, surprisingly.
Where are you?
Are you ignoring me?
I'm sorry...
"What are you doing here all by yourself, cutie," he asks. I almost dropped my phone. I do not even have to turn around to know who it is.
"None of your business," I say putting my head back in my arms.
"Listen, about my party-" Xavier begins.
"I do not wish to come to your stupid party!" I shout forgetting I am in a library. The old lady shushes me again.
"Hear me out," he says putting his hands up in defense,"You don't have to come if you don't want to,"
"Good," I say ending it but he continues.
"I just thought since you were new I could show you around sometime. Take you out."
"Like a date?" I ask getting nervous. Wait, why was I nervous?
"It can be whatever you want it to be," he smirks.
"Where is it located?" I ask and he responds quickly.
"I'll pick you up. It'll be a little surprise."
I didn't entirely trust this guy. At least, not yet. All I can think about is that note he gave me. If he picks me up, he'll know the location of my house. I mean, Richard knows where I live. Well, that's different. I still didn't know where this "party" is going to take place.
He stares at me, knowing that I am deep in my thoughts. He leans close to my ear and whispers,"I know what happened between you and Grayson,"
As he whispers I shiver and a blush creeps to my face. I try to hide it. What does he mean between me and Richard. There is nothing between us. We are just friends and nothing more. Right?
I feel uncomfortable again because he is so close to me. It is true that what Richard did was wrong, inviting another girl to our table. Right? One night couldn't hurt. I just need to stop doubting myself.
"When is it?" I ask.
"Next Friday," Xavier says.
"I will come to your party, Xavier," I say confidently.
He smiles,"So, are you gonna give me your address so I can pick you up?"
There was one thing I was sure of: I was not giving him my address.
"How about you tell me where the party is or I will reconsider coming," I said.
His smile gets bigger,"It's at my place. Nearly the whole school's gonna be there, even the Dick Grayson, himself. I'll pick you up."
It was at Xavier's place because each year Dick Grayson and Xavier Redd throws a big party inviting everyone to the school. Normally, it is a competition on who threw the best party. Of coarse, there were no judges or anything. It was just something they would do. Living in Jump City, I was not in the same district as the people who are in Gotham. However, I heard that their parties are always the best parties.
"I'll have Richard drive me there." I said. I didn't even know if Richard would drive me there but I really wanted to end this conversation.
"Come on, I'll drive you. I'm not such a bad guy once you get to know me. Trust me," He says with another one of his famous smirks.
"Fine,I trust you," I say as we both walk out into the hallway.
"Good. Catch ya later, cutie," he says and all I see is his dark brown hair and the back of his black sweatshirt.
Rachel
I catch up to Kori who was probably walking home. Her head was hanging down, looking at the pavement as she walked. "Kori," I call out.
"Yes?" she turns around towards me.
"Don't forget about Karen's sleepover. It's tonight."
"Oh, alright," she says turning back around, continuing her walk. Probably, not thinking too much on what I just said.
"Do you want a ride?" I ask. There seemed something off about her. Well of coarse there was something wrong with her. Dick invited Babs and Kori got jealous.
"You have a car?" she asks turning around again.
"If I didn't I wouldn't be offering you a ride," I said.
She smiled. I led her to my Dad's old convertible. Just thinking about my dad makes me shiver a bit..It was black with the hood down. We hopped in, literally, and I cranked the car up.
It wasn't cold outside, but it wasn't sunny either. It looked like it was going to rain later because of the thick gray clouds in the sky. Normal Gotham weather. "Do you have Karen's address?" she asked. Oh, that's right, Kori doesn't know that the sleepover's at Dick's house and that the guys are coming. Should I tell her? She's not gonna wanna go so I might as well not tell her, yet.
Everyone is coming up with a plan to get Dick and Kori together. It's so obvious the they like,wait scratch that, love each other. Now all they need to do is make out.
"Yeah, but let's go get your stuff for the party," I said as I smiled which is rare.
"You already have your stuff?" Kori asks.
"Yeah, I packed this morning," I said focusing on the road as Kori lead me to her house.
I packed all my stuff this morning because I didn't want to go to that place I call "home". My dad and my mom have been fighting even more than usual. At first, it was only between them two, but now I'm apart of the problem. About a week or so ago, my dad came home drunk as hell. He took my mom and beat her to the floor and I had screamed at him to stop...
Flashback
"Yeah ,Rae~Rae, I'll see you tomorrow, sweetheart," my mother said as she left my room. I blushed as she called me "Rae". It reminded me of...No. I shake those thoughts out of my head. She went back down the steps.
I continued to read my book as I laid there in bed, under my cold dark blue and gray covers. My eyes got heavier and heavier, just as I was about to fall asleep, a loud crash was heard down stairs and my mother's scream followed immediately.
I jerked awake running downstairs. Not knowing what was happening I asked loudly,"Mom?" as I see her on the ground in the kitchen. She was using a frying pan as her only protection.
I didn't know what was happening. It was all going by so fast.
"Get up you no good piece of shit!" my father screamed and kicked her. She looked towards me and mouthed the words,"Go back upstairs." I disobeyed her. There was glass all over the floor from broken beer bottles.
"Get off of her or I'm calling the cops!" I shouted at him. He grabbed my arm roughly and laughed. He threw me to the ground and of the first time in my life I was actually scared. I looked at my mother and her face was covered in purple and blue bruises and several scratches. I looked back at him and saw the devil.
End Flashback
"Rachel!" Kori screams my name.
"What!" I shout back.
"I called your name like five times," she looks at me with concern.
"I'm fine," answering the question I knew she was going to ask.
"You passed my house three minutes ago," she says as she points the other direction. I raise my eyebrow and mutter sorry and make a U-turn.
oooo
Once we arrive at her two-story, baby blue house I park the car in the drive way, next to a silver Mercedes Benz. I hear Kori sigh. We both get out and head to the front door. She fumbles with her keys and hurriedly opens the door.
"Kori, you don't have to rush. It's only about 4:00," I say and she nods.
"Sorry, it is just my sister is here and I do not want to run into her," she smiles and pulls me up the stairs. Loud, and I mean, loud music was coming from a door. I'm suspecting that's her sister's room.
"Where's your parents?" I asked.
"They went on a business trip to China with my brother," she said uninterestedly. So, she's uncomfortable talking about her family. Well, at least we share that trait.
I walk into Kori's room and I'm surrounded by purple, gray, and emerald colors. These colors fit Kori perfectly. She grabbed a Nike bag and put in a bra, panties, gray pajama shorts, with purple hearts on them and a T-shirt that said "Zzz All Day". Not to mention, an extra pair of clothes. I know all this because she showed me.
"You're not going swimming?" I asked.
"Huh?" she asked. She probably didn't know that whenever Dick invites all of us over we normally go swimming.
"You know there's a pool and we all go swimming when we're all together",I said carefully. I was trying not to mention that the party wasn't at Karen's.
"Oh, I guess I can go get a swim suit," she said as she went back to her drawer and pulled out a green bikini.
I smirked,"Isn't Dick just going to love that." Of coarse she blushed and I chuckled.
Since I brought my bag and we had time to kill, I showed her my pajamas and underwear. They were blue plaid pants and a tee shirt that a a picture of a bunny. I also brought a book and blanket and my black one piece.
"Rachel, since we still have the time maybe we could go to the mall," Kori says.
"Or we could do our homework," I suggest. Homework was so much better than going to the mall. The last time I went to the mall, Karen gave me a stupid makeover that made all the guys laugh at me for a week. Not including Gar.
"What about Komi," she says as she shifts her weight from foot to foot.
"Who?" I ask.
"My sister," she says and rolls her emerald eyes. I'm thinking that they don't get along very well. This was a very hard decision. We could do our homework and be ready for school Monday or we could waste all our time at the mall.
"If you feel uncomfortable around her, then I guess we could go to the mall for an hour," I said and she squealed and bounced up and down.
Only 4:30 we went back into the car and to The mall for an hour.
Dick
Alright now all I have to do is tell Bruce about this "party". Man isn't he going to be happy. I walk down the hallway into the living room. I already told Alfred and he popped some popcorn. Bruce comes directly towards me.
"I have an unexpected meeting and won't be getting home until late tonight," he says staring at me. It was this shit again. Cutting straight to the business. No hi or how was your day. I didn't have to tell him anything since he would be going to The Wayne Enterprises again.
"Yeah, anything else," I said like I didn't have anything to say. The quicker he left the quicker I could finish preparing for this party.
"Now I know you almost out of high school but, you know you can tell me anything," He looked at me and I raised my eyebrow,"about friends or school or ladies." He paused at ladies and I couldn't help but think about Kori. I've only known her for about three weeks and I feel this way about her. The way her eyes are that special green or the way she talks like an angel. Or how- Dammit he's staring at me. He probably saw me blush when he said ladies.
"Who is she?"
"Who is who?"
"You know who I'm talking about," he said tapping his foot impatiently. He started this conversation, not me.
"Do I?"
"Dick!"
"Yes?" I was being a dick and that was how I liked it. He stared at me with irritation written all over his face and walked out of my room, into the elevator.
I changed into my black and blue swim trunks. Checked around my room to make sure it was clean just in case Kori or anyone else wanted to come up here.
Kori
After we go to the mall of shopping, me and Rachel head towards Karen's house around 5:25. We had to stay an extra twenty minutes or so because we wanted a little snack. So, we went to Auntie Annies for some cinnamon sticks and a pretzel. Even though we had that, we both were still hungry.
"Kori?" Rachel says and I turn towards her. She keeps her eyes focused on the road.
"Yes?"
"We're not going to Karen's house," she says this as if it was nothing. I get confused.
"Then where are we going?" I ask raising my eyebrows.
"Dick's house."
"But, why?" I asked. Maybe I missed something because I was told the party was being held at Karen's house. I could not go over Richard's house. He abandoned me for that Babs girl! Well, maybe I'm overreacting. It's not like I am his girlfriend or anything. We are just friends...
"Because, the guys asked to come, her place wasn't big enough for all of us, so were staying at Dick's for the night with the boys," she said with no hint of emotion. With the boys? Great. And yes, I was being sarcastic.
We pulled into a big and I mean big house... It was not even a house, it was a mansion. The grass was nicely cut and everything. I felt underdressed. We parked beside a red Chevy and a nice looking car I could not name. It was just so nice it looked like you could get it from the store and at the same time you could not find this car anywhere else. Of coarse, I saw Richard's Mustang.
We walked down the pathway to a white door and I rang the doorbell. It opened quickly.
"Names, please," an old man in a tux asked formally. I thought this was a slumber party. My bag was starting to hurt my back. I was eager to get inside, change into my pajamas and get out of the light rain that started to fall.
"Rachel and Kori," Rachel said rolling her eyes.
"Ah, yes," he said,"Miss Anders and Miss Roth, you may certainly come in," he said as the door opened wider.
I stepped in and stared in awe. A flat screen television with a nice black couch. Windows were rarely seen. One or two here and there. It was amazing! As Rachel and I stepped in, and the kind old man who let us in stepped outside along with a strong man in a suit and closed the door behind them. I am guessing that was Richard's father.
"Hey girls," Karen greets the both of us. Vic smiles behind her. They are both already in their bathing suits. Karen was wearing a black and yellow stripped, matching two piece and Vic in his "Hey, I'm gonna go change into my swimsuit," Rachel says as she walks down the hall. She has definitely been here before.
"Well, hi there 'lil lady!" Vic beams and I cannot help but giggle. He gave me a high five.
"Excuse me, friends, but I must go change," I beam and follow Rachel down the hallway she went through. I stop at a small room with the light showing through the creases of the door. I knocked.
"Occupied," I hear Rachel's voice.
So, I waited. The doorbell rings and footsteps are heard from the steps. I am guessing that Richard going to answer the door. I wonder what he is thinking. He probably is upset with me. I was acting like a baby, I will admit and I was a little jealous.(Mmhm, a little) I hear laughter in the other room.
She steps out and glances at me. "Are you okay? You seem sick, I can drive you home if you want."
"I'm fine," I said and she nods.
"would you do the braiding maneuvers on my hair?" I ask.
"Sure, why not," and she turned to go back into the kitchen to greet everyone else.
I quickly change into my bathing suit. I used the restroom while I was in there and my coverup, which was an old white T-shirt. Grabbing my purple blanket out of the bag I put the bag over my shoulders. I put my stuff on the back of the kitchen chair.
No one's POV
"Hey, Kori," Wally said and she flashed him a smile.
"Hello," Kori replied.
It seemed as if everyone was here, in just three rings of the doorbell. Jen, came over and passed her a soda called Sprite. So far, her first slumber party was going well.
"Thanks," Kori said as she opened it up and drank some.
"No problem," she said as she and Rachel continued talking about whatever they were talking about.
"Vic I told you to just order a vegetarian pizza!"
"How could you not enjoy the all meat experience?"
The two bickered for a minute or two, until Rachel stepped in. It seems as if she always has to do this.
"The pizza hasn't even arrived yet," Rachel stated and slapped the back of their head's.
Their hands quickly went up to the spot where Rachel smacked them. "Ow, man,"Vic complained.
Gar, however, was quickly over it. He was used to it."So, when's this pizza coming anyway?" he asked looking around the room.
"So, what movie are we watching?" Richard came in with two films in his hands. Kori had to take a second glance at him."Whatcha got?" Karen attempted to snatch the movies out of his hands. She failed. He held them up for everyone to see as he spoke.
"The first one is a drama filled one I didn't even know we had, Mean Girls," he said without much enthusiasm.
Most of the girls squealed. Well you know, except for Rachel. She merely rolled her eyes.
"The second one is a horror movie called The Nightmare on Elm Street," Richard said. This caused several gasps to be heard, one confused Kori and a pair of eyes that belonged to Rachel lit up but quickly went dim. She was hoping that no one saw her get excited. She was wrong because Gar saw here and that put a bigger smile on his face.
"I vote for the second one!" Gar shouted.
"Yeah, me too," Rachel said.
"Wow, Rae, I think that's the first time you agreed with me," Gar teased and Rachel rolled her violet eyes for the third time.
"There's no way in hell I'm watching that!" Jenny exclaimed.
"Why not, Jen, you scared?" Wally asked and Jenny faced away from him. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"What the fuck are you gonna do?" Jenny asked with a hand on her hip.
"I have never heard of this movie," Kori stated not knowing whether to choose this film or the other one. She recognized that the title said the word nightmare and shivered. Yep, she wasn't a fan of this movie.
"I choose Mean Girls," Kori said quietly. Dick smiled and turned his gaze on her.
"Yep, Mean Girls," Karen agreed.
"How about we go to the pool and play "Wet Shirt Relay" and if the boys win, we watch Nightmare on Elm Street and if the girls win we watch Mean Girls", Wally suggested.
Rachel shook her head," But, not all the girls want to watch Mean Girls."
Karen gave Rachel permission,"Fine, you can be on the boys' team just this once."
"Yay," she sarcastically replied.
OoO
They all went into the backyard, where the pool was, and began taking off their coverups if they had one. The beautiful venue caught Kori's green eyes since she had never been over Dick's house.
Kori went over to one of the pool chairs and took off her T-shirt, exposing her green top. Now this made Dick look her way and his mind was quickly flooded with thoughts that he shooed away.
"Cannon ball!" Vic yelled and made a humongous splash. Sprinkling all that were near the pool edge. Rushing, Wally and Gar raced towards the twisty slide and both fell on top of each other while sliding down.
"You guys do that each time!" Karen shouted as she jumped into the water. The five in the pool laughed. Rachel sat on the side and dipped her feet into the cold water. Pulling out her book, Mocking Jay Part 1, and started reading the 4th chapter.
"I'm referee!" she called without looking up. She didn't even have to call it but she does each time, anyway. Rachel really wasn't the competitive type to try and win. She'd simply sit in the side and referee. Besides, who didn't need a referee?
Jenny slowly went down into the water after setting two of Dick's T-shirts at the end of the pool, preparing for their game. Dick set his towel down on a pool chair beside Kori and slipped his flip flops off. She of coarse, did the same.
Smiling towards him she asked,"Are you going to go swimming equipped with your sunglasses on?" It was very odd, indeed, to wear sunglasses when swimming. Especially, when it wasn't sunny out. I was not even hot out, but the eight friends decided to go take a splash in the pool. Also, do determine which movie the teens would watch.
Looking at her confused expression, he answered back copying her smile," Of coarse, not! Just how crazy do you think I am?" He put a hand on his chest, pretending to be offended.
Kori giggled,"My apologies, it is just, you wear them all the time."
He asked Kori he asked in a husky whisper," Would you like to remove them?" Leaning close to her caused her to blush. He smirked when she blushed because of him.
"Uh, yeah, sure," she whispered back, clueless to why they were whispering. She slowly reached up towards his eyes and lifted the dark pair of shades. Leaning close to him he shifted from foot to foot. Once the sunglasses were completely off of his face, she stared into his sapphire eyes.
"Oh Richard they are beautiful!" she exclaimed.
"Thanks, so are yours. Now come on!" he grabbed the sunglasses from her hand and placed them on the chair, now tugging her towards the pool.
"About time," Wally rolled his eyes,"My fingers were starting to get wrinkly." They both hopped into the cold pool water.
"Finally," Karen sighed," I thought you guys were gonna make out and forget all about us." Both Dick and Kori blushed.
"Okay since their is eight of us it needs to be even in order to play "Wet Shirt Relay". So, I'll be on the guys' team. Does everyone understand the rules?"
"Yes," everyone said at the same time except for Wally.
"Yes, mom," Wally said jokingly which got him a death glare from Rachel. "Kidding!" he quickly covered.
The rules for "Wet Shirt Relay" are simple. The players have to split evenly into two teams and get into lines based on their teams. Two XL shirts should be at the other end of the pool. (both were Dick's) Each person, from each team has to dive into the water, swim to the other end. Once they're there, they'll have to put on the T-shirt and swim back to the other side, strip off the T-shirt and hand it to the next person and continue until the last person strips off the T-shirt. Whosever team that person is on, wins!
So, Kori, Karen, Jenny and Wally were on one team since he changed his mind and wanted to watch Mean Girls and Dick, Gar, Vic and Rachel were on the other team. Since there was no referee, Rachel said that she would just call go so that no else cheated. Everyone was lined up in that order.
"Alright! Let's go Kori!" Karen cheered as Kori smiled at her opponent. Dick looked back at her and smiled.
"Good Luck!" she called back and he was going to thank her until she finished,"because you shall need it!"
"Oh you naughty girl!" he called back and the two laughed.
"On your mark," Rachel shouted unable to see from the back of the line,"Get set," Kori and Dick looked at each other one last time before fixing their haze on the pool in front of them,"Go!"
"C'mon Dick you can do it!" Gar shouted at his friend.
They dove into the cold water and raced for Dick's two t-shirts. Both of them were extremely great swimmers. Neck and neck they reached the end and Kori hurriedly threw on Dick's black and blue t-shirt. Looking back at her before he dived back into the water with his red and green t-shirt, he couldn't help but think how incredibly sexy she looked in his shirt. It clung to her perfectly.
"Dick, what are you doing?" Vic yelled. Water splashed on his face, bringing him back to reality, as Kori jumped back into the water. "The game" he thought. Dick shook those perverted thoughts out of his head and quickly swam after her.
OoO
Back inside, after the game, the teens settled down to watch Mean Girls. The girls, and Wally, were victorious much to Dick's disappointment. He was hoping that Kori would get scared so he could hold her hand. Not to mention, Gar had wanted to watch Nightmare on Elm Street so that Rachel would be happy. Laughs were shared like popcorn as they watched the film.
"Get in loser we're going shopping!" sorry I had to it. Again I am so sorry about the late update! Please don't be mad! I apologize if there is any spelling or grammar issues, I started this chapter yesterday and I rushed to get it to you guys. Hopefully, I won't be mean and make you wait again. Oh and I will be more organized. ;) Review, Favorite, Follow or all three!
