Sick Cycle Carousel

Goodbye ✌✌

Chapter 9: Goodbye ✌✌

It was the first day of October. The air was fresh and the leaves had turned their golden brown color. Dick sped down the road in his new convertible. Another present given to him by Bruce. It wasn't some suit or lecture, it was a car, a fast one at that and Dick was enjoying it immensely.

The car came to a stop and Dick beeped the horn. A few seconds later Kori emerged from her house. She was wearing a High wasted blue jeans with a White crop top and some all white Jordans. Dick leaned over and opened the door for her. She climbed in and shut the door.

"I see your enjoying the car." Kori said with a smile.

"Yup, Bruce may be a old man but he sure knows how to pick cars."

"How is Bruce anyway?"

"Happy and in love. That Diana girl is really good for him."

"That's good." Kori said, leaning back in the leather seat and closing her eyes.

She made herself comfortable and enjoyed the ride. That's when she felt a change in the cars direction. She's been riding to school with Dick for a long time. She knew when they weren't going the right way. She opened her eyes and looked behind her. Dick didn't take the turn to get to school. In fact he went the opposite. She looked over to Dick and raised a brow.

"Uh, Dick, school's that way."

"I know. I promised Ashley I'd pick her up."

Kori leaned back in her seat and sighed. "Of course...the blonde one from french class...how could I forget."

Dick raised a brow at her sudden sarcastic remark. Kori wasn't really the one for sarcastic remarks. That was more of Raven's field. He saw Ashley house and noticed she was standing outside, a annoyed expression on her face. The car came to a stop and Ashley glared at Kori with venom in her eyes.

"Hey, babe. What's up."

"Oh, nothing really just that your late," she said with anger in her voice. "What took you so long?"

"I had to pick up Kori."

"Right. Kori."

"Let's not do this now. Just get in the car."

Ashley reached for the front door but stopped when she saw the place was taken by Kori. She sat in the back and put her seat belt on. Dick took off and no one said a word. Kori however felt extremely uncomfortable. She could feel Ashley's eyes burning a hole in her back. But why was she so angry? Kori and Dick were just friends. She had nothing to worry about. Kori would never think of stealing another girls boyfriend. The car came to a stop and Kori's thoughts were broken.

"Kori, you comin' or what?" asked Dick, his arm around Ashley's waist.

Kori nodded and grabbed her back pack.

ART CLASS

Raven yawned for what seemed like the hundredth time today. Her eyes were half closed, her chin resting in her hand as she some what listened to what the teacher had to say. Today it was just her and Kori in class. Karen had got this period off because she had to help the music teacher.

"Hey, you okay?"

Raven turned her head to see a very concerned Kori.

"Yeah, I'm just tired."

"Your parents?"

"Yeah."

Out of all of her friends, Raven trusted Kori the most. Kori, besides herself, was the only one who knew what was going on in the Roth household. Raven's parents had been arguing a lot. Raven wasn't sure how long her mother could put up with her fathers crap.
