This Chapter is in regular pov.

Girlfriend. The words burned her tongue every time she said it. Certainly not because she was a girlfriend, but because the boy she wanted to be the girlfriend to already had one. She hadn't really liked Dick at all until they actually started to talk. The suddenly right after they kissed he was gone. He was now with the ever-so-popular- knew girl, Barbra Gorden.

Barbra. Yet another word that burned her tongue. When Rachel told her he was dating her he flipped, but not like any other normal girl would.

Kori didn't seem to react if you looked at her, but on the inside she was dieing,

Barbra was a slightly stuck up, daddy problem, perfect hair type of girl. Sure she was gorgeous and any guy would date her and her milkshakes differentially brought all the boys to the yard.

Kori got out of Rachel's car and together they walked into the school. Neither of them said a word to each other.

Finally they said their goodbyes and parted to go to their lockers.

"Stupid locker. Stupid lock code. Stupid."

"Need help?"

Kori turned to see Dick Grayson.

"HAHA. Oh wait, your not kidding." Kori went back to fidgeting with her locker.

"We need to talk."

"If it's about Barbra I already know."

She finally opened her locker.

"How?"

"Rachel. Now if you could please leave me alone."

"Kori?" Dick said in a longing voice.

"I thought you weren't a playboy anymore?"

"I'm not, it's just-"

"You don't like me?"

"No."

"I have to go."

Kori made her way to her first class leaving behind Dick.

The rest of her day went by smoothly. She tried hard to not think about Dick and easily distracted herself by talking Rachel and Gar, even though most of his jokes aren't funny.

Right before the final bell she asked to go to the bathroom, but went to her locker. As she shut it her locker the bell rang and she made it to her car with out bumping into Dick.

"Kori!"

"AHHHH!" (That was a scream.)

"Can I explain?"

"43 seconds."

"43?"

"42, 41-"

"So Bruce is a business man. He does business. Barbra is the daughter of another business man."

"20, 19-"

"Bruce couldn't get a deal unless I dated Barbra."

"15, 14-"

"At her school, the guys were real. They actually were more interested in what they did and their personality then who they are and looks."

"5, 4-"

"It's not my fault. I had to. Bruce was selfish-"

"Times up."

"Do you forgive me?"

Kori laughed.

"Of course not! You don't have to do anything you don't want to!"

He didn't answer back. She didn't let him. Instead she got in her car and drove away, because sometimes just walking away eases the pain.
