"Hey, why are you so smiley?" I heard a familiar voice ask. All I could do was shake my head…I have no idea…

Chapter 3

Pleading and Desperate Eyes

I shook my head and turned around to see my best friend in the world, Rachel Roth. Rachel was a striking beauty like myself, her eyes were a deep purple and had an almost empathic look to them. Her dark hair had a slight purple tint to it, and contrasted perfectly against her porcelain skin. She was like a sister to me and I could tell her anything. She was dating Garfield Logan, he was a goof, but he loved her like crazy.

"Hellooo? Earth to Kori! Who was that?" Rachel questioned wriggling her eye brows at me. I rolled my eyes and gave her a silly look for the 3rd degree she just gave me.

"Nobody import, he's just a guy from my oceanography class." I replied looking back toward the direction Richard had walked.

"Ooo really?" Rachel was giving me that 'I think you like him' look. I hated that look… "I think some body likes him…" she quipped.

"Nooo, I barely know him. I just started talking to him…we're just friends. And you know I kind of like Roy." I lied. I knew I sort of liked Roy, but some thing told me I liked Richard too but since I barley knew I didn't want to start anything and have all my friends asking me soo many stupid questions. Although I knew I would end up telling Rachel. I couldn't keep a secret if my life depended on it.

"Okk, if you say so." Great she knew I was lying already…o well. "O hey Gar is having a party tomorrow, all of our friends are going to be there and some of the seniors too…like Roy, Victor and of course Mr. Richard Grayson."

I suddenly felt myself blush…I wasn't sure if it was about Roy or Richard being at the party.

"Yeah I'm definitely going, in fact let's just get ready at my house and I'll drive us there." I said. Rachel nodded in agreement. Our conversation was put on hold when Rachel got really quiet. Her visage became solemn and worried. "Rae, are you ok?" I inquired. She looked down at the floor and then at me.

"Do…do you think Gar likes someone else." She asked, her eyes were pleading for an answer and desperate for the right one.

"What? No he's crazy about you! Why do you ask?" I tired to understand why Rachel was asking me this.

"Well it's just…I see him with Terra a lot. I mean he knows I don't like her and don't want him talking to her. I mean I know he used to like her and now she likes him…I don't know…I'm just worried." Rachel said looking at the ring on her finger. I was a sliver ring with a sapphire and two diamonds.

Gar had given it to her on their two-year anniversary. They started going out freshman year. We had stopped being friends with Kitten Moth, because she stabbed us in the back. Gar and Rachel had always liked each other but were too afraid to admit it to each other. Until one day he finally told her how he felt. They were perfect for each other. She was moody some times and needed someone to make her laugh when I wasn't around of course. And Gar was just the person to do that. He was a goofy guy and would always be a little kid a heart but he was crazy about Rachel, and everyone could tell that is until recently. See, Gar before he liked Rachel, used to like this girl named Terra. She was pretty but common, blonde hair, blue eyes and a nice body. She was the preppy girl you see in all the movies. Well she never liked Rachel and she knew that Rae liked Gar so she just pretended to like him to make her mad. In the end she broke his heart and then moved to Boston. But now she's back and seems to be very interested in Mr. Garfield Logan.

"Rae, I know he talks to her a lot and she likes him, but I don't think he likes her. He loves you, no matter how goofy or stupid he acts." I said smiling reassuringly at her. She smiled back and hugged me as if to say thanks.

When you know exactly what your best friend is thinking…no words are needed.

"Come on, let's blow off last period and go to the mall and get clothes for the party!" I tempted her with a twinkle of mischief in my eye. With that we raced off to my BMW put the top down and sped off to the mall.
