Happy New Year (dont drink and drive)...though Cinzano is good...
After shutting all the curtains and locking all the doors, she opened all the lights in the apartment and sat in front of her computer. Waiting for msn to connect her online, everything that happened today suddenly came back to her. Everything repeated over and over again in her head.
She was bright, but confused and naïve at times. She kept on thinking about all the 'what ifs'. What if Richard wasn't there? What if she hadn't taken that shortcut? What if she had taken those karate lessons and listened to her god father, Galfore? What if she had never bought that damn jar of Cheese Wiz?
Didn't she ever see that glove before? Maybe she did…maybe her imagination was getting the best of her. And that strong smell of metal was still irritating her nose. It was like those metal bracelets, or watches.
But what did she ever do to—
''Oh Rachel!'' Kori quickly opened a conversation with her friend, waiting for some news.
.star.light. says : Rachel, what's new?
Raven::evil.beware.we.have.waffles says: Gar is dying to take me out on a date tonight…I didn't want to ruin his mood or crush his hopeful spirits...
.star.light. says : so you said yes??
Raven::evil.beware.we.have.waffles says: no…
.star.light. says: …
Raven::evil.beware.we.have.waffles says: Kori…you seriously think I would say YES to gar?
.star.light. says: YES! Because you are in LOVE (L) call him right now. That's an order.
Raven::evil.beware.we.have.waffles says: Geeze…you're kidding…right?
.star.light. says: no
Raven::evil.beware.we.have.waffles says: I hate you
.star.light. says: I know!
Raven::evil.beware.we.have.waffles says: ...brb
She closed the window, proud of herself. Playing matchmaker was one of her favorite hobbies. She knew that Gar was mad about Rachel and was dying to take her out on a date. Rachel, on the other hand, was not mad about Gar and was not dying for the day to go out with him.
She just found him…cute. Pretty much like Richard and Kori. He found her cute, she found him cute. End of story.
Right? WRONG!
Eager to find out what would happen, Kori sat comfortably in her chair and waited for someone to talk to her, or an ingenious idea to pop in her head.
Suddenly a window popped out. ''Finally, someone interesting…''
FirstFloor: I see that you're up late, miss Anders?
Kori raised a curious eye brow. Who was 'first floor' and what kind of lame name was that?
''Looser!''
.star.light. says: I don't know you…do I?
She didn't have anything better to say…
FirstFloor says: Maybe not as well as I know you.
She didn't get any of this. It was soon autumn, but not Halloween. And even if it was a Halloween joke, it wasn't funny at all.
.star.light. says: Who are you?
It was a classic. She knew that they asked that in movies and she always wondered why they asked that instead of another intelligent question but…she needed to know who he was. If he was stupid he would tell her his name, but maybe he or she could give Kori a clue…anything!
FirstFloor says: I am the one who 'scarred you for life'. Literally.
She raised another curious eye brow. Who scarred her for life…literally? Nothing made any sense. Should she call for help? The police?
Naahh. She was a big girl, she could handle it. Right? Riiiight…
.star.light. says: I've got to go.
FirstFloor: You can't go as far as you think you can.
She looked around and wondered—
CONVERSATION TERMINATED
Those words flashed in a strong red and cut off her thoughts. This wasn't normal at all. She looked around and every thing seemed normal. Maybe it was just Richard playing a joke or kidding around.
She suddenly jumped to the sound of the phone. It rang…rang…rang. She didn't bother to pick it up. Kori didn't really want to know who was on the other side of the line. She crossed her fingers and the answering machine picked it up as she wished for.
Rachel's voice echoed in the whole room and Kori quickly picked up the phone answering with a relieved 'hello'.
In few seconds, Rachel explained that she was going on a date with Garfield the same night and she HAD to make Kori go with her. Why? It was her first date.
''Beginners…'' Kori rolled her eyes, thinking about the 'good old days'. ''How do you want me to come along? I don't have the intention to sit between you two and decide when you'll kiss.''
Rachel choked on her cookie and yelled several times 'KISS? What KISS?'. Then she offered a way for Kori to come, in a way that she wouldn't be seen. The red head had no choice but to accept.
Kori hung up and let herself fall on her couch. It was a long day and she didn't feel like getting out at 8pm but, duty calls!
She HAD to bring them together no matter what it would take…
''KORI!''
She rolled her eyes. ''Coming, coming…''
Rachel grabbed her by the arm and tugged her down the stairs after braking in her apartment. ''Hurry, hurry…''
This was not like Rachel. She was the usual calm girl, who liked to read and meditate. But goin on dates and being…nervous?
She shoved Kori in the back seat of the car and jumped in the front. ''Ok Kori, all you have to do is hide behind the seat, under this cover.'' She said handing a black cover to Kori, who seemed confused.
''Aren't you going out to a restaurant or—'' Her eyes widened. ''Don't tell me you're going where I think you're going!''
''Well, if you think you know whaty I'm thinking about, don't ask.''
With a puzzled look on her face, Kori kept silent while trying to place herself comfortably in the back seat—corner. ''Rach, I—''
"Stop!''
Kori crunched up her nose and kept silent, a very difficult thing to do. ''I don' think you—''
Rachel gave her a death look in the front mirror. Kori took a deep breath…
''I don't think it's a…a…goodideatodoitonthefirstdate! Eeek!''
Rachel gave her a puzzled look.
''…I don't think it's a good idea to do it…on the first date.''
Rachel's jaw fell. ''You seriously thought I…''
''Well…''
''Eww…'' she stuck out her tongue in disgust and turned around to face Kori after parking on the side of the road. ''We're going to a drive-in movie theatre. So stay quiet and keep your hormones on the steady…I don't even think we'll kiss.'' She said, whispered the last part.
As Garfiel sat in the car, Kori agreed to the idea that even if they weren't going to kiss, she would make them. But you know…what's the rush…?
---
Richard kept on hitting the wall, waiting for a response from Kori but, she didn't answer. He sniffed the room one more time and it smelled Kori-ish. He wasn't saying it was a bad smell!
He picked up the dark piece of cloth and walked out of his apartment in a hurry. Richard knowcked on Kori's door but, still no answer. Thinking this was an emergency, he unlocked the door with his spare key and walked inside very calmly. He gently put the black piece of cloth on her couch and started to make his way out the door once he saw a flashing red light coming from a screen. He approached it as if it was a bomb and pocked it.
It was a computer. Good. He knew he shouldn't read anything because it would be an invation of privacy but…it was stronger than him! He had to know…he was too curious. One of his big flaws.
''Kori?''
Richard jumped and had no other alternative than…BE Kori.
''Yes'' came a very squicky response.
The person walked in Kori's apartment and threw nother question to 'Kori'. ''Are you sick?''
''I'm…loosing my voice.'' He tried to cough.
The lights flickered on and Xavier starred at Richard with a disgusted and puzzled look. ''If I interrupted something…''
Richard sweatdropped. ''APRIL FOOLS!''
Xavier closed his eyes, feeling humiliated. ''Richard, if you have you're clothes off, put them on. I'll be in you're apartment. I think we need to talk...man to man, ya know?''
Ok i really hope you liked it all.
maybe it'll take some time for more chapters cause i have to study and im stressed up to my eye balls...but ill make sure to write more.
