Chapter 5: Afternoon

Kori held on tightly to Xavier as they speed down the road on his motorcycle. They came to a stop and she got off.

"Finally, were here." said Kori.

"What, you didn't enjoy my ride?" asked Xavier, pretending to sound hurt.

"No, it was fun. I'm just hungry."

"Well, shall we." said Xavier, extending a hand.

Kori nodded and grabbed his hand. He held open the door for her and she walked in first. What she saw made her eyes go wide. In the back booth was Dick with the same girl from French class. Maybe he would have said hi, if he wasn't in a lip lock. Xavier saw the shocked expression on her face.

"If you want, we could leave."

"No, no, don't be silly. I'm fine. Let's just get our food."

Xavier shrugged and led her to a booth. They sat down, opposite of each other, on the red seats. A waiter came over and took their order. After waiting in silence, Kori looked over her shoulder. The girl Dick was with was laughing. He grabbed her hand and lead her out the pizza parlor. Kori couldn't help but feel envious of the girl.

"Kori."

Kori snapped out of her thoughts to look at Xavier. He pointed down to there food. She was so busy looking at Dick, she didn't notice their food had arrived.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was busy looking at -."

Kori stopped herself from saying anything else.

"Yeah, I saw." said Xavier, trying not to sound mad.

They ate their food in silence. Kori twirled her straw around, mixing the soda and ice cubes into a dance. Her eyes was facing down. Xavier knew something was up. Usually, Kori is the type of person who is very happy and talkative.

"Ok, what's up?"

Kori looked up and gave him a questioning look.

"Listen, if you want me to take you home -"

"I'm sorry." Kori cut in before he could continue.

Xavier raised a brow. "So you gonna tell me what's wrong."

"I don't know," said Kori, playing with her hair. "Seeing Dick with that girl made me-"

"Jealous."

"Yes." said Kori in a low voice, disappointed in herself for being jealous.

"I don't see why you bother with him."

"He's my best friend, Xavier."

"So that's all you think of him as, a friend?"

Kori wanted to change the subject, and fast.

"What about you, Xavier?"

"What about me?"

"I've never seen you with a girl. How come?"

"I'm waiting for a certain girl to come around."

"Who?"

"Well, she's beautiful, kind and I like her a lot."

"Does 'she' have a name?"

"That's for me to know, and you to find out."

RAVEN

She got out of the car and closed the door behind her. She said her good byes to her friends and waved to them as they drove off. She sighed.' No putting it off.' She slowly made her way to the white, painted house. She took one step up the mini stairs which lead to the door and could here the yelling coming from her parents. The sound of glass breaking was also heard. She waited for the yells to die down and she took out her key from her pocket. She opened the door and pushed it open. On the black, leather couch was her mother, sobbing into her hands. She looked up at her daughter and wiped away the tears.

"Oh, Raven. Your home." she put on a fake smile.

"Yeah, Vic drove me home." said Raven, sitting down next to her mother.

Her mother buried her head on her shoulder and began to cry again. Raven ran her fingers through her mothers blond hair. Raven looked up at the stairs. No doubt her father was locked up in the room, cursing at the walls.

"It's okay, mom."

Raven knew things between them wasn't okay, but still, she wanted to comfort her mother.

KORI

Kori opened the door to her house and walked in. Kori waved good bye to Xavier and watched as he drove off. Closing the door behind her, Kori walked up the stairs to her room. She opened the door to her room and walked in. Remembering what Raven had told her earlier she began to dig in her drawer and found exactly what she needed to make Dick happy. Kori smiled to herself, she couldn't wait for tomorrow.
