Chapter 31: Spin

Kori opened her eyes to feel a pleasurable feeling sweep over her. A smile played on her lips as she remembered the events of last night... or today, it depends on how one would view the time. None the less Kori couldn't help but feel happy. Never would she have imagined that Dick, her best friend and crush (not so secret crush), would kiss her. Her! It was as if her wildest fantasies had come true.

Kori rolled over in her bed so she was resting on her back. By a sudden impulse she began to hum to herself. There was a knock on her door and Kori called out to the person to come in and she continued to hum to herself. Raven walked in dressed in her black pajamas and walked over to Kori's bed.

"Komi wanted me to tell you that she's going to work early so one of us has to make breakfast." Raven said in her regular monotone.

"Mmmhmm." was the response she got from Kori as the red head continued to hum.

Raven arched a brow. Something was different about Kori. It was no surprise to Raven to see the girl be cheerful in the morning, that was just the kind of person Kori was, though Raven couldn't help but notice she was a little too cheerful. It was as if she was injected with some type of happy drug. Curious to the new change Raven stayed in Kori's room.

"Alright spill," Raven demanded. "What's with all the happiness?"

"Why, Raven, I don't know what you mean," Kori said as she opened her eyes to see Raven standing over her, arms crossed. "I'm always happy."

Raven narrowed her eyes. "I know, but today is a different happy. Did something happen?"

Kori giggled like a school girl and smiled.

Raven's eyes widened. Kori always giggled but this giggle was a one-in-a-kind giggle. The only time Kori had giggled like that was in fifth grade when Tim Drake asked her out on a date. Raven came to the conclusion; Kori's happiness had been caused by a boy.

"So who did you hook up with?" Raven asked with a small smirk on her lips.

"I did not hook up with anybody," Kori said and then she blushed. "...I did kiss some one..."

Raven stood still in sudden shock. Kori had kissed some one at the party. Raven prayed that it wasn't Xavier due to the fact that he was looking for her at the party. He must have been looking for a New Years kiss. Raven tried not to jump to conclusions.

"Who did you kiss?" Raven asked as she sat at the edge of Kori's bed.

Kori's cheeks turned as red as her hair. "...Dick."

Raven sighed in relief, so it wasn't Xavier that Kori had kissed. What a... Raven's mind went still, did Kori just say... "Excuse me?"

"Dick...I kissed Dick..."

Raven stood up from Kori's bed and walked out of the room with out a single word. Kori blinked a few times in confusion, wondering why Raven would just walk out like that after she told her something so personal and important. Kori gasped as the worst came to mind. What if Raven was angry at her? Of what if she wanted to use this as blackmail... although that was more likely to happen with Gar and Vic.

Raven walked back in the room carrying two silver spoons and a carton of ice cream. She sat on Kori's bed, cross legged, and handed her a spoon. Raven opened the ice cream and dug her spoon in, taking out some of the cookie dough ice cream. Kori blinked a few times trying to figure out what was going on, but just shrugged and began to eat ice cream as well.

"So...," Raven dug her spoon in again. "How'd it happen?"

Kori looked up, her spoon still in her mouth. "Hmm?"
