With her head turned to the ground, Korina took the lonely walk to the to her next class, pondering on her recent encounter with Dark and Art. She always tried her best to distance herself from the popular mean girl stereotype, and for the most part, she managed that pretty well. Despite the company she hung around, she started no fights and made few enemies. Apparently she was wrong; there were still people who looked on her with scrutiny and saw her as a threat. However, she couldn't quite say this came as a surprise. She just didn't expect to find out this way, after two days of protecting Dark from the same people Artorias accused her of being like. She sneered at the thought of the football player. Where was he when Madison was about to beat her into the ground, when Casey and Jannes humiliated her in front of everyone. The fucking nerve!<br/><br/>She slammed shut her locker in anger before taking a good minute to calm herself. She didn't have to react like this. Dark wasn't her responsibility. She did her a favour; that was it. If Art didn't want her to talk to her, then she wouldn't. it wasn't worth starting any fights over.<br/><br/>"Yeah, you're right, Kori. You've got friends of your own," she thought to herself. "Tammy's probably been missing you all day."<br/><br/>With her anger all but quelled, Korina put on her usual smile, strutting down the hall towards her next class.
