As Dark walked through the hallway towards her, Korina had only one thought on her mind. 'That poor, poor girl. She's about to get assassinated.' Why she had thought it wise to come here, especially at this time was really beyond her. It's not like she didn't know how dangerous walking through here was and that the repercussions could border on sheer cruelty; it just didn't make sense. Whatever it was that sh wanted certainly couldn't have been worth the risk.<br/><br/>To Kori's surprise, Dark somehow managed to walk all the way to her without even as much as a stubbed toe. Nobody tripped her, nobody chucked a book at her, nobody even touched her. Compared to what some other kids had gone through, one could easily have said she had gotten off easy.<br/><br/>Korina glanced sideways at Tammy, who now wore a rather unsavory look as she glared at Dark. The rest of the crowd wasn't any better. There was a lot of jeering, name calling, and fashion criticisms (apparently they had a lot to say about her goth outfit and bare face). Some of the girls had already started closing in like a school of piranha, ready to obliterate her at the first chance. Korina would have given her the book immediately so that she could leave, but seeing the way the whole situation was unfolding, Dark would not have left that hallway with it. She had barely even gotten the book out of her bag before a tall blonde girl came to interfere.<br/><br/>"You know, I'm really not surprised that this is one of your friends, Kori." said the girl, her haughty eyes shooting from Dark to Korina. "I always knew that all you redheads are freaks, anyway." She wore a smile, but there was no hiding the look of contempt on her face. That was Madison for you; possibly the single worst person Korina could think of. She never quite managed to get out of the friendzone with Jared and that understandably made her a little sour. What Kori couldn't excuse was the way that Madison treated her after she and Jared got together. She apparently made it her mission to ensure that her life was miserable for as long as she was with him.<br/><br/>Korina smirked at the blonde, rather unconcerned by the comment. This was almost a daily routine for her. "And I hear all blondes are just sluts. Aren't you supposed to be in the bathroom with some dick in your mouth?" she replied, making the corner of Madison's lip twitch slightly. "Ha-ha... I bet you think you're so funny. But whatever, I didn't come here for you. I came here to take out the trash." She quickly wheeled on Dark and began to saunter towards her. "What are you doing here? You lost? You think talking to her gives you a free pass to just walk through here and breathe my air?" The much taller figure stood mere inches from Dark with arms folded in front of her. "Or maybe you're just a dumb bitch who doesn't know her place. I think that's the one."
