Richard POV

"I don't deserve her, I never have; but she also deserves better than Xavier. She deserves the best, like the guy in the notebook, she always loved him." I told Karen, smiling until she started laughing. I realized what I just said and my smile dropped. Shit… I'm never going to live this down.

"You watched the notebook?" Karen asked as she stopped laughing.

"Yes, Kori wanted me to when we were still friends and you know how hard it is to turn down those puppy dog eyes. No one ever can." I told her.

"She Notebooked you… that's my girl. Wait did you cry?" Karen said as she laughed again.

"Is this all you want to talk about now?" I asked Karen getting annoyed with the laugher and looking away. Since, I didn't want to tell her I did cry a little, when she forgot her kids. It had to break her kids, and grandchildren's' hearts, feeling like in a way they lost their parent. I mean I know they didn't truly lose her yet, but they lost all the wonderful memories they shared, which makes it bittersweet at times to remember those memories. There were no more laughs to share over that time the one daughter embarrassed herself in front of her crush, no more thoughtful memories of how they still all met up at their parent's at Christmas Eve every year, and so many other memories lost. Sure, they still had their father. Most men would not admit this, but everyone needs their mother. I should know I lost both my parents in a circus accident which is why I live with the famous Bruce Wayne. He is an amazing man, especially for taking me in, but I still miss my parents.

"Why are you such an asshole now? I remember when you were nice you know. I mean we were exactly like the Rugrats. You were always the Tommy of the group. So what happened? What made you the biggest asshole in Gotham?" Karen asked me becoming all serious again.

"I always wanted to be popular… popular girls seemed to like the jerk. Along with that I am always being stalked by reporters ever since Bruce mentioned I be taking over Wayne Enterprises five years ago but I don't want to. I also found out my dad has a sister, two years ago. She could have taken me in when my parents died, but she didn't like kids. My parents even had her as my guardian, but she said she didn't want me. I guess the point is I was continually getting screwed over in my life and I didn't want to mess up your guys life's anymore. So I started being a jerk," I told her. I know it wasn't the greatest reason ever, but I just couldn't let more individuals get affected by my life.

"How did you mess things up with our lives?" Karen asked me.

Rachel's class (Rachel's POV)

I closed my eyes as Malchior walked closer. After he was convicted I finally realized he was bad for me, and I no longer loved him.

"Dude back off, before I make you?" Gar voice said as he reproached us. I opened my eyes to see Garfield standing between Malchior and me.

"And if I don't?" Malchior asked him a smirk placing over his face.

"Well then were going to get in a fight, and I am guessing that wouldn't be good for you. You might just get sent back from where you came from," Garfield said smirking back at him.

Malchior smiled dropped, "This isn't the end of it, I am going to see my two little friends Rachel and Kori again."

"Do you have a death wish? If you touch either of them I know Richard, Victor and I will personally beat your ass. And if you hurt either of them again I will personally put you in your grave. Do you understand?" Garfield asked him.

Kori's class (Kori's POV)

I wish I had a friend in drama with me. The teacher is already putting together groups and I don't know anybody but Kitten and Richard. Richard, I no longer considered a friend, but I heard the teacher call his name at the start of class. Luckily, he wasn't here today.

Just then the door to the class room opened, and I saw a face that I hadn't seen in a while. My childhood best friend from Tamaran, the island my family used to live on. We moved away when I was three due to the war. I knew it was him since his family still came to visit our family every year.

"I'm sorry I'm late, Mrs. Sharp, but I am new here. My name is Bryan Mangor," he said.

I was surprised by how good he was already at speaking English; sure he practiced when he came and visited my family. But it took me forever to learn English; I couldn't help but be a little jealous. His red hair was just below his ears. He was around 6'5'' and very well built, which was probably why most of the girls in the class room at this moment were drooling. This caused me to smirk since he would never go for them.

"Oh yes, Bryan that is fine, you will be in a group with Kori," said Mrs. Sharp, he finally noticed me and we smiled at one another. Then she continued, "Along with Kitten, and Richard, who happens to not be in class today."

My face immediately fell. This was going to suck.

"You can't put me with four eyes!" yelled Kitten. Mrs. Sharp glared at her.

"Kitten, I don't wear glasses anymore," I told her as I gave her a death glare. I knew she was stupid but come on.

"So?" she said.

"Well if you had any intelligence at all, Mitten was it. Then you would know four eyes was an insult invented for people who wore glasses. But now only insecure little girls use those words. I was hoping girls would be more respectful and mature here, like Kori," he stated as he winked at me. I mouthed "Thank you." At least I was going to have someone to support me during this project.
