p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""You will not tell anyone else, understand," Rachel warned her eye beginning to twitch./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I nodded eagerly. Rachel trusted me. About time. Rachel looked over at Jenny and Terra who were busy going over French words./p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"My grin fell off my face. So this wasn't some "girly secret" like the one they tell at sleepovers? Now I got nervous./p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""So, what's the problem?" I asked confused on how this felt with Terra./p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""That's not true," I gasped,"You guys went on a date yesterday. What makes you say that?"/p

I came back to my small apartment at three in the morning. I could barely afford the bills at my place so I had to get a quick job that offered me a whole bunch of cash. I left because I'm done with the shit that's going on. So yeah, I'm a stripper and I work at this place called Red X. Yesterday I got a total of five hundred twenty four dollars. In just one day. So I was going to be having this job for a while. With a job like this there's not that much time for school so I'm thinking about dropping out so I can focus on work. Next thing you know I'll become famous and have people look up to me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Or I could just marry someone who's famous. There's Dick Grayson. He seemed as if he was all over my sister which is a problem. This bitch ,Kitten, had came up to me whenever I was in school and she had told me about some plan about making Kori's life miserable. I honestly don't know yet./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"One things for sure, I could go to Dick Grayson's party, meet him up there. It'll be perfect. The only thing that could really go wrong is that he won't be into me. That's going to screw up the whole plan. I know Kori likes him, you can see the way that girl looks at him. Well, if she dates him then we all can get loads of money. Well, Ryan, her =and Galfore. I doubt she'll think of me the slightest bit./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Too many stuff fucking up my brain and Kori is still my sister and, as much as i hate to admit, I guess I love her. Just a little! I don't feel bad at all for telling Ryan, he was going to have to find out sooner or later. I just picked sooner./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I walked into my apartment. It was small with a stool pulled up to the counter for a table, a chair in the "living room", and a mattress for my bed. This was all just for the moment until I could spruce up the place if not buy a new crib. I dropped off my groceries, which were cereal boxes, plastic silverware, paper plates, bread and eggs./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I had to keep my job. The boss is going to put my head on a bronze, no, silver platter. Yeah, Kori isn't the only one to get confused over English terms and slang. I just remember to think before I speak. Sometimes. Everyone calls my boss, X. And all the ladies are creeped out by him. He looks really young to be the manager of a strip club. Feels like I've seen him before. That guy is bad news./p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Kor, give that back," Rachel hissed quietly./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I took a glance at it and skimmed it over. Clearly Rachel was blocking me out and had her own poem halfway written. She attempted to grab it out of my hands and I threw it back at her. I had already seen enough to see who it was about./p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Nothing."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Rachel," I warned./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""You shouldn't have snooped."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""You should've been paying attention. We're partners."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Rachel sighed in defeat,"Whatever, sorry."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Now, why would you write something like that about Terra?" I whispered more quietly./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""How the hell did you know what the poem was about?" Rachel asked astounded./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""The fact that 'Tara' means Earth is enough. Come on Rachel just tell me."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""You will not tell anyone else, understand," Rachel warned her eye beginning to twitch./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I nodded eagerly. Rachel trusted me. About time. Rachel looked over at Jenny and Terra who were busy going over French words./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""I'm serious Kori."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"My grin fell off my face. So this wasn't some "girly secret" like the one they tell at sleepovers? Now I got nervous./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""I..I think I like Gar," She whispered quietly a blush creeping to her cheeks. My grin found its way back to my face. I just couldn't help it./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""So, what's the problem?" I asked confused on how this felt with Terra./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Gar likes Terra."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""That's not true," I gasped,"You guys went on a date yesterday. What makes you say that?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""The date was canceled and he thinks it's my fault. And I just dropped him off at his house."/p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Yeah, oh."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I smile at her,"Well, admitting it is the first step."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"She smiled at me,"Well then, go ahed. Your turn."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Now it was my turn to blush. She chortled. We both knew who she was talking about but, I'm just not sure. That playboy thing had a big effect on me. I think Rachel could tell./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""I heard what you were talking about on the phone the past days and I want to let you know, I've known Dick for a while and he really likes you. He's just a big dummy 'cause he's in love, with you. Of coarse there's going to be girls who flirt with him and he's going to get distracted because he just doesn't want to admit it. Like I said, a dummy."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I smiled,"Thanks Rae."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;""Don't call me that," she smiled back./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"We laughed lightly. "Now about this haiku you were talking about..."/p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Another shift at my job and I got no sleep from it. I came back to my small apartment at three in the morning. I could barely afford the bills at my place so I had to get a quick job that offered me a whole bunch of cash. I left because I'm done with the shit that's going on. So yeah, I'm a stripper and I work at this place called Red X. Yesterday I got a total of five hundred twenty four dollars. In just one day. So I was going to be having this job for a while. With a job like this there's not that much time for school so I'm thinking about dropping out so I can focus on work. Next thing you know I'll become famous and have people look up to me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Or I could just marry someone who's famous. There's Dick Grayson. He seemed as if he was all over my sister which is a problem. This bitch ,Kitten, had came up to me whenever I was in school and she had told me about some plan about making Kori's life miserable. I honestly don't know yet./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"One things for sure, I could go to Dick Grayson's party, meet him up there. It'll be perfect. The only thing that could really go wrong is that he won't be into me. That's going to screw up the whole plan. I know Kori likes him, you can see the way that girl looks at him. Well, if she dates him then we all can get loads of money. Well, Ryan, her =and Galfore. I doubt she'll think of me the slightest bit./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"Too many stuff fucking up my brain and Kori is still my sister and, as much as i hate to admit, I guess I love her. Just a little! I don't feel bad at all for telling Ryan, he was going to have to find out sooner or later. I just picked sooner./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I walked into my apartment. It was small with a stool pulled up to the counter for a table, a chair in the "living room", and a mattress for my bed. This was all just for the moment until I could spruce up the place if not buy a new crib. I dropped off my groceries, which were cereal boxes, plastic silverware, paper plates, bread and eggs./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"I had to keep my job. The boss is going to put my head on a bronze, no, silver platter. Yeah, Kori isn't the only one to get confused over English terms and slang. I just remember to think before I speak. Sometimes. Everyone calls my boss, X. And all the ladies are creeped out by him. He looks really young to be the manager of a strip club. Feels like I've seen him before. That guy is bad news./p
