Authors Note: Hey guys! I know I said that I would update by Sunday but this is Sunday and the reason this isn't up is cause I spent all my time trying to get chapter 1 up so I hope this chapter will make up for it! BTW Andrew is Aqualad. T.T.F.N. Ta Ta For Now!

By lunch Kori was completely and totally lost. Not just by class but by the strange social pyramid. The people you would think to be the jocks were the stoners and the people you would think to be the stoners were the nerds. It was just the way they dressed. The nerds wore baggy shirts with 80's bands on it and really baggy pants. The stoners wore tight pants and seemed to have their group fused wit the skaters. As she observed this she sat alone at the nearest blue picnic table.

"so you new here?" came a smooth voice beside her

"what was your first clue?" she asked turning. Roy could here the tension in her voice.

"well for one I don't know you. And two everyone has a group. Even the outsiders all hang together; I guess that doesn't make them outsiders then, huh." He chuckled "so why don't you hang with me and my group?" he asked while putting his arm around her. She hesitated. "Don't worry, there are girls in the group." He laughed. She considered and then said "sure."

"great!" he said while jumping up and stretched out his hand to her.

"by the way, I'm Roy, Roy Covet." She took his hand and he helped her up from the bench. "Kori, Kori Anders." She said shaking the hand that was in hers and giggling. They walked over the quad and Roy introduced her to everyone. She shook hands she made small talk and she laughed at their jokes, but she still felt like something was missing. Just as she was thinking that an all too familiar face came over to the group. She made his peach hand into a fist and pounded in on Roy's fist. First on top then bottom then knuckle to knuckle. He did that with every guy there then leaned against the rough brick wall. In the group there were five guys and four girls, including her. There was Richard, Roy, Andrew, Garfield (but everyone calls him by his last name, Logan.), and Victor. This group was no group in particular. Richard was the bad boy, Victor was the jock, Logan was the clown, Roy was the want to be, and Andrew was the swimmer. The girls covered the rest of the categories. Bee was the attitude, Terra was the prep, and Rachel was the goth. The group was well rounded.

"uh, what are you looking at?" Richard said. She snapped out of her trance and realized she was starring straight at Richard. Roy noticed this and started talking to Kori immediately. "So, uh, Kori, what's your favorite movie?" he asked trying to sound casual.

"Well it's ether Tristan and Isolde or Titanic." She said trying to look around Roy but not enough to let him notice. Roy was the nicest guy she met yet at this strange school. She thought the hottest guy though he was mean to her was Richard. She just met him and yet she felt as if she knew him for a lifetime.

"Kori? Uh, Kori are you listening?" Roy asked

"Oh sorry, Roy. My thoughts are elsewhere today." She said apologetically

As she said that Richard walked up to Roy.

"Hey Roy, can we talk?" he asked taking off his sunglasses showing true neediness.

"Sure hold on." Roy turned to Kori.

"Hey I'm really sorry about this Kori but he never takes off his sunglasses and after what happened on Friday I think I should really talk to him."

"Yea sure. But wait!" she said grabbing his arm. "What happened on Friday?" she asked pleading with him with her emerald eyes.

"I can't tell you. I think Richard should tell you if he wants you to know." He said quickly and hurried off to catch up to Richard. About a half an hour later the bell rang and she went to her next class. 'Lucky me.' She thought as she scanned the class. The only one in her new "group" in the class was Richard. Which she found surprising considering this is an honors class. English 2 honors to be exact. The teacher told her where to sit. 'What are the odds?' she thought' I'm seated next to Richard in the two classes I have with him, well so far anyway.' She still had 3 periods. Her school was on a blocked schedule. She took the empty seat next to Richard. He glanced at her with his sunglasses on and looked away almost as fast. Kori took out her flowered folder and took out a piece of binder paper. On the paper she wrote,

Ok, look, I know you don't know me very well but I have to know,

What happened on Friday? Please tell me!

She folded the paper into eights and passed it to Richard while the teachers back was turned. He took the paper in one swift movement and read it, fast. He then put the paper down on his desk and started to write in front of the teacher like he was taking notes. He folded the paper back up and when the teacher turned to write something on the white board he passed it back to her. It read,

I rather not tell anyone right now. It's still a sore subject. Btw where are you from?

She smiled. She then started to write her message back; before she could the bell rang. She stood up and started to walk towards Richard.

"So how was your first day of school?" Roy asked jumping in front of her before she could get to him.

"Uhhh, good. Look I have to go." She said nervously looking around for Richard. When she spotted her he was at the door. He turned to look at her and saw that she looked uncomfortable talking to Roy at that moment and walked over.

"Hey guys." He said

"Hey Richard!" Kori said

"Hey Rich." Roy said seeming just a tad upset by his presence being there.

"Um, Roy, I kinda need to talk to Kori right now." He said sounding regretful and pulling her by the elbow towards him. They walked out the door and down the hall before they spoke a single word. He was still clutching her elbow by the time they got to the end of the hall.

"Thanks for that." Said with much relief in her voice.

"No prob." He said laughing a little. "Roy can talk your ear off, but he's a good friend when you need him."

"I don't know him very well but he does seem nice. Oh and sorry for asking you about your ex. I know you'll tell me about her when your ready." She said with a comforting smile on her face.

"Thanks. Oh and before I forget there's gonna be a party at my house tonight so why don't you come?" he asked her

"Yea sure I'll come. You'll be there right?" she asked flirtatiously.

"Of course I'll be there it is my house after all." She said smiling and returning her flirtatious tone.

"Then you know I'll be there." She said smiling and walking away.

"Hey do you have a ride home?" he called out.

"No I have to walk. Bummer huh." She said turning around walking backwards slowly.

"I'll give you a ride." He said running to catch up with her.

She turned around and started walking with him at her side.

"You know what Richard."

"Call me Rich, and what?" he asked looking at her. She looked back but kept walking.

"You are definitely not the person I expected you to be." She smiled and kept walking with him. He smiled to himself too. And kept walking with Kori Anders at his side.
