New Girl (StarRae)

Guilt

Kori was grabbing the things she needed out of her locker quickly while humming to herself. She wanted to catch the raven before she left so they can walk together again, but sadly a hand closed her locker and an unwanted head of black hair came into view.

"Kori, what the hell were you thinking sitting with those.. those freaks at lunch?" Kori has never seen the boy so mad, which made her even more furious with him for thinking he has a right to poke around in her life.

"I was thinking that I could enjoy my meal with people who actually cared about me." She kept her anger down, she didn't want to cause a scene in the hallway where everyone was starting to leave making it one of the most busiest times.

"I told you you cant be friends with her! And why were you letting those other two weirdos touch you!" His voice was hushed but still loud enough to get a few stares from people passing by.

"Excuse me Robin, but I thought I told you that I can be friends with whomever I so please. And those two weirdos are very nice boys who wouldn't insult others for the way they choose to express themselves." She turned on her heal, the calm demeanor she was putting on was starting to crack. How could he think he has the right to boss me over?! He grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her back, by then the hallway was empty.

"Stop hanging out with them or else we will not be friends any more." Before the red head could reply a giant hand grabbed the raven's wrist and pulled it off the girls arm, twisting it behind the boy. Victor was standing menacingly next to him holding him in that position. Raven walked up to him with a glare that could kill a man, whispering words that weren't English, successfully scaring the shit out of the boy. Garfield stood next to Kori asking if she was okay.

"Keep putting your hands on her and you'll get more than a hurt shoulder and a curse." Her words were like daggers and when Victor let go of Robin, before he could run off Kori spoke up.

"Robin, I do not wish to ever be your friend anyway." With that he ran off, eyes wide and scared staring at the raven, who turned to look at the red head.

"Did he hurt you?" She stepped closer to look at her.

"I'm okay friend Raven. Did you actually curse him?" A small smile played on the raven's lips as she looked back.

"Of course not, i was just mumbling random words to scare him." The three laughed and raven crossed her arms smiling.

"That's a good one Mama!" Garfield and Victor started to walk towards the door and soon the girls followed. After a few moments of comfortable silence the taller girl spoke up.

"Thank you, Raven." The shorter one just shrugged and kept her eyes in front of her.

"No need to thank me. I think Victor could have scared him off just as easily."

"Though I am grateful for Victor and Garfield's help, I am joyous that you assisted in sticking up for me." When the raven looked at the other girl, a light blush dusted her tan skin.

Raven couldn't get the sight of her blushing out of her head all week. She wanted to make the girl blush more because it was almost too beautiful for it to be human. She thanked her gods that night for blessing her with such a creature but she would never tell anyone that.

The next few weeks, Kori stopped talking to everyone she use to in favor for the three new friends she had. She stopped being invited to after game meals or parties and she was happy for that because it exhausted her showing up to them anyway. She still cheered and people still liked her company but most were told lies about her being brainwashed from the jock, so instead of friendly greetings she got pity stares. She didn't mind though because when she was with the trio of friends nothing mattered, and when she looked at a certain pale skinned girl worries about school were erased.
