Before Korina could get an answer out of Dark, the bell rang, giving her perfect excuse to scamper off without explaining herself. It didn't come as much of a surprise, though. The bell had probably knocked her back to reality, reminding her of who she was and that she and Korina were on two different planets. Either that, or she was avoiding the conversation that they were just about to engage in. "Umm, bye." she managed to say before Dark dodged out of the room. Only when she was gone did she realise the copy of 'A Christmas Carol' that still sat on her desk. She shrugged as she picked it up and stuffed it in her bag along with her notebook.<br/><br/>She got up and was on her way out of class when she felt an arm wrap around her waist and a gentle kiss against her neck. Instinctively, she tilted her head sideways, revealing even more of her neck. She was such a sucker for those neck kisses and Jared knew that very well, allowing him to use that against her whenever he pleased. "Jeez, I leave you alone for half an hour and you suddenly become besties with Dark?" he said as he caressed her waist. "I fucking hate you." she groaned, squirming feebly against his hold, hardly in a rush for him to let go. She hated that so much; the fact that he knew her so well that he could manipulate her with just his touch.<br/>"You can hate me all you like, but you still know you need me. I keep you from doing stupid shit." he whispered, nibbling her ear. "Now come on, we've got to get to class before Ms Green loses her marbles again."<br/>By this point, Kori wasn't mad enough to keep fighting anymore and the short cuddle had kind of mellowed her out, so she let Jared take her hand and drag her along the halls to their next lesson.
