After the trip to school, Richard and his friends found themselves sitting in the auditorium for a special assembly. Garfield was talking to Victor about some football match and Richard looked through the crowd, trying to find the other two girls. He saw Raven's violet hair and by her side a laughing Kory. As they started going upstairs Raven tripped and fell on Jericho's lap, on the other side Kitten made her way through the crowd with an evil grin on her face.
"What is it? Your ego is too big?" Raven said while Jericho helped her up. Kory grunted under her breath. Kitten didn't stop walking.
"Watch it, I almost fell." She said, ignoring Raven's clever remark. Kory moved past Raven and spoke loudly.
"Too bad it was an 'almost'" She said. When she was near Kitten's level, she whipped her hair, making it fall on her face. Kitten's mouth dropped and she looked nastily at Kory, waving her hands in front of her face to see clearly. Then quickly let her gaze fall over her giggling friends, they fell silent immediately.
Kory sat next to Richard and Raven stayed with Jericho.
"Is she PMS-ing or something?" Richard asked.
Kory laughed softly. "I think PMS isn't her problem."
An elder man, in his late fifties walked over to the medium piece of wood where he stood up and corrected the microphone's position.
"Children." He said sternly. The auditorium's noise didn't stop, in fact, it became louder.
"CHILDREN!" His voice boomed and bounced through the auditorium and then silent fell over everyone.
"Thank you for your attention everyone. We are here gathered to listen to Kitten Moth, president of Student's council about the dance." He moved back with a serious face and Kitten stepped forward, an evil grin on her face.
"Students! I, Kitten Moth have planned this dance for the last two months, and here it is. The final image for this year's fall dance!"
A big sign with a red circle appeared behind Kitten. Two black silhouettes could be seen dancing and musical notes were painted on blue paint. It looked good, but still kind of sketchy. Applauds were heard, though they weren't as loud.
"That looks like a kinder garden drawing."Victor commented. The group of teenagers laughed silently, as Kitten kept talking.
"..We will have a contest on which was the most creative way of asking a girl to the dance. The winners will get a limo to have a trip to school with their chosen friends. Until next Friday people!" Kitten moved out of the platform and cheers rose. Kitten blushed, when she found out they were cheering because she stop talking, anger bubbled up in her.
"Sounds pretty boring if you ask me." Gar sat down on Kory's opposite side putting an arm around her.
"Don't be such a party pooper; it's going to be fun. Besides, maybe if Jericho asks Raven with a song, we'll be able to go in a limo." Kory pointed at Raven who was laughing with Jericho.
"Not if I do something first." Gar wiggled his eyebrows and Dick rolled his eyes.
"Gar, I love you, but let's face it, creativity isn't your area." Kory narrowed her eyes while Dick tried to stop himself from laughing.
"You offend me, we'll see about that." Gar said.
The students began moving through the auditorium's door, all ready for a new day of class. At one moment, Gar slipped his arm off Kory's shoulders.
"Where are you..? We have French class now!" Kory screamed at Gar.
"I'll meet you guys later!" Gar aimed for the art room quickly.
"Any idea of what he's planning?" Raven came to where Kory and Richard stood with Jericho close behind.
"Not really." Kory looked at the art class doors.
"We'll ask him at recess, let's go." Richard started walking up the stairs. and Kory followed. Raven and Jericho looked at each other, shrugged, and they both moved.
"Quel est votre nom ?" , the French teacher asked Roy. She was evidently bored. She's spend about 15 minutes trying to get Roy to say the accent correctly.
"Uhm.. mon nom..?" He hesitated looking at the serious expression on her face.
"Mon nom est, Roy." His eyes shrinked a bit, as Garth moved a sign while Mrs. Christina wasn't watching. Garth and Roy had good strategies when it came to cheating. Roy let out a relieved smile.
"Mon nom est Roy, Madame." The corners of his mouthed quirked up. Ms. Christina rolled her eyes. "Garth put the sign down." She said not moving from her position. The class exploded in laughter. Garth frowned and let the sign fall.
Kory, who was sitting next to Raven and in front of Dick was the only one who didn't, instead, she looked out the window, disctracted.
"Sit down Roy, 7.5." She said in a boring tone.
"Yeeeeeeeeah buddy." Roy went over to Garth and shared a high five. Ms. Christina rolled her eyes and she scanned the class.
"Kory."
Kori flinched and looked at Ms. Christina with wide eyes.
"mhm?"
"Stand up." From the other side of the room, Kitten's smile grew even wider while she saw Kory standing up.
Kori straightened her hair in between her fingers and stood still, waiting for the first question.
"Quelle est votre saveur préférée de crème glacée? " leaned over the borad and pushed her glasses over her nose bridge. After some moments, Kory answered.
"Ma saveur préférée de crème glacée est le chocolat." The class started to whisper loudly, Kitten laughed above all the noise.
"Silence s'il vous plaît ! " clapped her hands frustrated.
"Quel a été le fait que sous la Révolution française?" She looked at Kory over lowered glasses.
The class fell silent.
"what did she say?" Roy asked Victor in a whisper.
"La prise de la Bastille." A satisfied smile appeared on her face. Ms. Christina's eyes widened a bit, but she hid it inmediately by shuffling random papers.
" Uh.. sit down Kori. 10. "
Kori smiled relieved. She walked to her desk and sat down, sighing inwardly.
"You go girl. " Kole commented as she saw Kory sitting down. Richard wasn't surprised. Who say's Starfire didn't kiss a french guy sometime ?
Gar entered the room with a loud banging of the door colliding with the wall. Everyone stared at him and the room fell silent.
"Calm your tits Gar." Roy commented. Some snickering filled the air and Gar laughed sarcastically, making his way to his seat. Garfield sat on the opposite side of Kory. She stared at him bewildered.
" Your hands.." She said pointing at Gar.
" Huh ? oh ! "Garfield hid his hands in his book pack and smiled at innocently.
" Monsieur Logan, want to share anything with the class " She crossed her arms over her chest.
Gar shook his head. "No."
" Great." The teacher looked at her watch and sighed relieved. "Pack your teenage stuff, the bell's about to ring. "
" Teenage stuff." Gar huffed and laughed with Dick. As he tried to slip his arm across Kory's waist, but she backed off of his grasp.
" Whoa Gar, you'll stain me. " She checked her clothes for any paint remainings.
" Mean." He crossed his arms like an inmature five year old. Dick's mouth corners rised up in a smirk, this was all so amusing.
"Would you look at that? " Kole walked over to the couple, Dick and Victor standing. All four of them turned around to see Jericho and Raven talking.
"They've been really close these few days…" Kole shot Kory a look.
"Do you think..?" Kory looked at her.
"Jericho is a quiet dude." Gar commented. He looked at his hands and then at Kory. "They'd make a nice pair."
"It's about time." Victor said with a laugh.
"Vic.." Kory narrowed her eyes at him.
"What? Raven deserves a nice guy!" He said laughing. "Am I right Dick?"
"Why don't we just wait and see if Jericho makes a move." Dick said simply. Victor looked at Gar and wiggles his brows. Garfield's smile dropped immediately.
"No, no way in hell. "
"Come on man! Please!"
"No bets Victor!" He said crossing his arms. Victor looked at him in the eye.
"Just cause you know you'll loose!" He pointed at Gar.
"Not true!"
"GUYS! Calm down." Kole stepped into the two fighting teenagers. "It wouldn't be right to bet on Jericho, he's our friend."
"Kole's right. Don't try and damage him Victor." Kory said smiling.
"I think he's damaged already." Garfield sticked his tongue out at Victor. When the bell rang the group of friends aimed to the cafeteria. Gar looked around at all times, as if looking for someone.
"uh.. everything okay?" Dick asked him. Garfield nodded, still looking around. He jumped slightly as he saw something in the distance and pushed his tray into Dick's free hand.
"I'll meet you guys at the table, can you get my food? Thanks man." He ran off leaving Kory and himself alone lined up. Dick's mouth dropped and he fumed a bit. Kory saw Gar running away.
"What's with him lately?" She asked.
"I don't know, he's your boyfriend." Dick said. Kory laughed and took her tray.
"Whatever let's just go eat. If he doesn't get here in ten minutes, we'll eat his pudding, deal?"
Dick smiled. "Deal."
