Chapter 1
- Me, You, Them -
"I'll ignore everyone of them, because I only want you."-unknown
Mind racing, hands shaking, Richard Grayson walked the empty streets of Jump City. Every few seconds he looked over his shoulder, he had the lingering feeling that someone was following him. A crunch of a branch put him on edge, he quickly turned the next corner. He plastered himself against the wall as he held his breath, foot steps getting closer.
Almost now.
A shadow passed and he launched at the figure following him. He tackled the bystander to the ground, hitting the sidewalk hard, chipping away a small fraction of it.
"Hey Rich it's me!
Richard's eyes had been closed up to this point and looked down at the boy in his grasp. The blond hair and forest green eyes were all to familiar, he was staring down at one of his best friends. Gar Logan. Richard pulled himself from the ground and extended his hand toward his friend, who graciously excepted.
"Sorry Gar."
"Sorry my ass, why the hell are you so paranoid?"
Richard just shrugged he had his own reasons for being paranoid, it had helped him survive on the life he was living. The boys began walking down the street, the wind whipped passed them and Richard tugged on his black jacket. Black, that was their gang color. Gar was also wearing a black jacket and he noticed a green shirt beneath it.
"So why is Victor calling a meeting?"
Gar shrugged his shoulders, he seemed as much in the dark as himself.
"I don't know."
Victor was the gang leader, Richard was offered the job, but declined it. He didn't think of himself as a leader, but he did come up with the name. The Black Riders, everyone else agreed to it and they adapted it as their gang name. They rounded a corner to see other people huddled in the alley way. They were greeted with nods of the head. Both boys bumped fist with their other friend Xavier Red. Shaggy brown hair and grey eyes, all the girls swooned at the sight of him.
"You guys are late."
"So sue me."
Xavier smiled and relaxed, but tensed just ask quickly when a voice came out of the darkness.
"Now that we're all here," the comment being directed towards Richard and Gar, "we can start the meeting."
Other guys in the gang gathered around their leader Victor, all wearing the same black jackets. Victor jumped down from the ledge he was sitting on, landing gently on the ground.
"Aaron thinks he so cool, he thinks he runs the school, but we know who really runs things around here."
The gang snickered and a small smile graced Victor's lips. Richard relaxed against the wall next to Xavier and crossed his arms over his chest. Victor began to pace in front of the gang, taking slow steps.
"But Aaron is full of shit and has demanded that we give up to park." Fits of outrage broke out.
"That's our territory, no Scorpions aloud!"
The Scorpions or better known as Aaron's gang, they were the bitter enemies of the Black Riders. Long story, we'll get to that later. Victor hushed his members and his smile widened.
"Well you know what I say? I say that we fight for it then!"
Everyone agreed at once with cheers and whistles, boys bumped fist as a sound of pleasure ripped through them. Richard's lips were graced with a small smile, it didn't excite him as much it did the others.
"The fight will take place in two weeks, so keep your mouths shut and be off."
He waved them away, they stalked off back home exchanging hushed whispers about the upcoming fight. Only Xavier, Richard and Gar lingered. Victor walked over to them and placed a hand on the wall.
"Well if it isn't my good buddies, how you been?"
An a assortment of grunts came as responses, Victor just shook his head as he stalked off.
"Whatever, get out of here ya'll. See ya at school."
A smiled still lingered on his lips as he walked into the darkness. A moment of silence passed between the friends.
"Guess I better get home."
Xavier pushed himself off the wall and started off in the other direction. He turned back to his two friends.
"Hey see you later and don't get into any deep shit."
Richard smiled and waved as he and Gar walked back the way they came. Gar took his leave as Richard said he was going to make a stop in the park.
"Later Richard."
"Later."
The grey clouds coated the sky as the wind whispered in his ear. As much as Richard liked being in the gang, he wished he could give it up. All of it, but once you're in you're in. There's no turning back. He has a nice life, but it just wasn't enough, they dumb ass rebellious side of him kicked in and that's were he met Victor. Back in second grade the two became friends and not to long after that Gar came into play. Fifth grade Xavier joined the group and life was good.
Everything changed when a controversy broke out, shit happened and Victor started a gang. Richard didn't want to be a part of it at first, but things happened and soon there was no option, but to join.
Now I'm stuck in this shit.
He kicked a small pebble as he neared the park entrance, it was colder than her thought, just in jeans and a black jacket. The park was empty as far as he could see, nothing caught his eye. He let out a breath as he walked deeper into the park and past the trees. He paused when something did catch his eye. Over by the fountain he could see a beautiful girl, long flowing red hair, tanned skin and a perfect figure. She was dipping her feet into the water and it perplexed him, since it was rather cold.
"Hey!"
-
Kory Anders clutched her books to her chest as she started the long walk home. She pushed passed kids and they bumped her hard when they got the chance. The whispered behind her back, girls giggled and boys snickered. She obviously wasn't wanted there. When she first started going there she caught every boys eye, but this caught the girls attention. One in particular. Katherine Moth.
Bitch.
Her long blond hair and sharp blue eyes were always the center of attention, but every since Kory started going there everything changed. So Katherine started making rumors, it spread like wild fire and in just one day Kory became the most hated girl in school.
"Hey Kory over here!"
Kory titled her head to the side as she saw Katherine wave to her, she began walking faster, but Katherine was quick to catch up.
"Where do you think you're going?"
She stepped in front of Kory and the other girls made a circle around her.
Damn, I'm trapped.
No point and making a run for it, they would just hurt her more. Might as well take it now. Katherine smiled as they closed in on her and Kory took all the punches and kicked thrown her way. Katherine finally gave her a hard shove sending Kory to the ground. Her knee scrapped and a trickle of blood ran down her leg.
"Nice playing with you Kory."
They then just walked away, smiling like it was a small gossip circle full of friends. Kory sighed as she picked up her books. She hated her parents for forcing her to go there.Not like they'd care, they're too busy with their money.
As much as she tried to tell her parents what was going on, they refused to listen. Kory eventually gave up, she decided to take a small detour to the park. The leaves rippled on the ground as they were stirred up by the wind.
The fountain trickled behind her and a smile formed on her lips. She thought maybe if she could get sick enough she could miss school for a couple of days. She ran over to the fountain and slipped of her pink flats and sat on the edge of the fountain. She rolled up her jeans slowly and lightly touched the water.
Feels good.
She began to wash the blood away and she shivered as the cold water dripped down her leg.
"Hey!"
Kory was startled by the voice and she to the ground with a small 'eep'. She looked up to see a tall boy with spiked black hair, sapphire eyes and a black jacket. He gazed down at her, deciding whether to help her or not. He made up his mind as he slowly approached her and held out his hand. She took it with some hesitation.
Richard looked into her beautiful emerald eyes and felt himself being lost in them.
"Thanks."
Her small voice broke his train of thought and he blinked a couple of times.
"No problem."
He dropped her hand and he shoved his into his pockets. He then turned and walked off. Kory watched him for a second and held out her hand.
"Wait!"
He turned to see her standing their by the fountain, barefoot and jeans rolled up.
"What?"
Kory seemed at a loss for words, what do you say to a complete gorgeous stranger.
Kory dismissed the thought as she coniunted to look at him.
"What's your name?"
Richard arched an eyebrow.
"Richard and yours?"
"Kory, how-why did you come in here?"
The question caught him off guard and he tilted his head to the side, studying her.
"Doesn't matter and I better go you don't want to be seen with me."
He started off again, but Kory was letting him go so easily.
"Why?"
He stopped a bit annoyed and turned back to her.
"Why what?"
"Why wouldn't I want to be seen with you, I mean you seem like a nice……."
Richard began to chuckle, which startled Kory. She bit her bottom lip and stared at him.
"For reasons you don't need to know. Look you seem like a nice girl with no problems so just go home to your rich little house and have a good life."
Kory's eyes narrowed and it surprised Richard at how angry she looked.
"Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I don't have problems."
"Whatever."
He started walking faster, but Kory wasn't through with him yet. She grabbed her shoes and ran after him, she stopped in front of him blocking his way out.
"Can I help you?"
"You know Richard you're not the only one with problems so don't go judging a book by its cover."
Richard's brow crinkled in frustration, she seemed more complicated than what he had first thought. She crossed her arms over her chest and neither moved or spoke.
"Fine I'm sorry, but you still shouldn't been seen with me, It's dangerous."
"Life is dangerous, but I'm still living."
He almost laughed, something about her intrigued him.
Don't get involved, it will only bring pain.
"Well you can keep living, now I got to go."
He side stepped around her and made it to the park entrance.
"Will I see you again?"
Another question that caught him off guard. He turned to her a playful smile on his lips.
"For my sake I hope so, but for your sake I hope not."
He then disappeared into the empty street. The answer perplexed Kory and she sat down on the park bench. He had to go to the school she went to, but never saw him.Maybe I was looking, but wasn't really seeing.
She pulled her knees up to her chest as he thought about his answer.
For my sake I hope so, but for your sake I hope not.
The answer was beyond confusing and gave her a headache for thinking to hard on it. She sighed as she looked up at the grey sky, a small feeling filled her soul.
I believe our paves will cross again Richard, whether it's good or not.
More about how they all got into the gang and how it started and stuff will be explained through the course of the story. And of course Richard and Kory will meet again, oh and Rachel will be in the next chapter…I think. Anyways please review!
Peace Out
