The wind blew the tall golden grass back and forth across the plain. The blue sky stretched as far as you could see.
Dick gazed upon the peaceful landscape as a silhouette appeared in the distance. He focused his eyes on the figure.
It was a girl. Her hair flowed behind her in the wind as she hugged her skinny, but tall frame.
Dick called out to her, "Hey!"
She turned her head to look at him with a questioning look on her face.
"Hey, come here. I promise I won't bite!" he said trying to bring her closer.
She giggled and started to walk closer to him. She stepped gracefully through the long stalks of grass with her bare feet as her white, formfitting dress blew around her legs in the wind.
He could see her better now, but just enough to see her amazing jade green eyes. "Almost like…" he said to himself, "…Kori?" he said a bit louder.
She took a few steps back; she looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"No wait! Kori!" he shouted desperately, but her backward pace continued, steadily becoming faster. "Come back!"
Her pacing soon turned to running as she took off in the opposite direction.
"KORI, COME BACK! I -"
-BEEEEEP!-
"Good morning JUMP CITY!"
"DAH!"
-THUNK-
"OWW!"
Fifteen year old, Dick Grayson let out a painful groan as he rubbed the now red spot on his forehead. He had collided with his nightstand as he was awakened from his slumber by his alarm clock.
"The sun is high and the w-"
He turned off the radio and rolled out of bed. Yawning he dragged himself out of bed and to the bathroom door. "I hate Mondays…"

Ten minutes later the door opened, and steam poured out in to Dick's room. He stepped on to the carpet of his room with a towel wrapped securely around his waist. He shook his black locks, sending water everywhere. He grabbed his normal quarter sleeved red and white shirt (the sleeves are red and the rest is white), his dark blue jeans, black stud belt, and black low top converse. He put these on and gelled his hair in to their normal spikes. He than grabbed his backpack and headed down stairs.

Dick slid down the banister of the mansion him and his guardian Bruce Wayne, the biggest playboy in Gothom and Jump City, lived in. Bruce traveled back and forth from Gothom to Jump City weekly, for his company was in Gothom while Dick wished to remain in Jump City at their mansion. This week Bruce was in Gothom and would be till Sunday.
Too wrapped up in his thoughts, Dick didn't relies the family cat, Batty, was sleeping on the bottom of the banister. He slid right on top of the poor cat. Batty's cries of pain were the only thing to wake him from his thoughts.
"RRrrOEWW!"
"ACK!"
Dick lost his balance and fell off the banister and onto the stairs. He slid down the stairs on his back and landed at the bottom headfirst with his legs over his head.
"Owwwww……."
"My, my aren't we graceful this morning, Master Richard?"
Dick opened his eyes to see the butler, Alfred, standing above him. He had a solemn face on, but his voice dripped with amusement.
"Good mornin' to you too, Alfred," Dick smirked.
Alfred simply walked away shaking him head.
-
Dick walked out the door. He let his thoughts wonder as he walked to school.
"Why did she run away so fast? I mean I know I startled her, but come on she's my best friend………or is she more? ...nah…"
"Hey, Dick!"
"Ack- uh, hey Gar."
He looked down a bit to see his good friend, Garfield Logan, beside him with a stupid grin on his face. "Someone's a bit jumpy."
"Heh…I don't know what's wrong with me…"
"Maybe it's sleep depravation."
Dick gave him a questioning look. "Why would you think that?"
Gar sweatdroped. "Umm…I donno know…"
Garfield Logan was, in a few words, a pranks/jokester. He loved to get a good laugh from anyone, or just for himself. But, there were times when his pranks either went too far or back fired. Like the time he unscrewed all the screws holding their other friend, Victor's car, but only two of them fell. Not only that but when Vic found out it was Gar,he put green dye in Gar's shampoo and body wash. Gar was green for two weeks! Even today his blonde spikes still have green tips. Gar is also an amazing soccer player, and is known to become an animal out on the field. For this he has been nicknamed, Beast Boy.
They walked up to the school and into the first hallway were they said their goodbyes. From there Dick continued to his locker.
"Hello, Friend Dick!" came a jovial cry behind him.
He turned to meet the same green eyes that haunted his dreams. And there in front of him was Kori Anders….
