Ali looked up briefly as someone walked into the lunch room and she took in the girl with the reddish brown hair and blinked. She hadn't seen her before, but she doubted she was new. She watched as she just stood there, beside the security guard and then watched as she looked over to her table. Aliyah swallowed hard and went back to her lunch. It seemed she was going to get a test in her social skills. Ali wasn't sure how she felt about this and looked up again as the girl walked over. She finally sat and she nodded to her and gave a small smile.<br/><br/>“H-hey. I'm Aliyah.” Ali looked behind the girl to the security guard and watched him leave and then looked back to the girl across from her. She wondered briefly if the girl had done something to warrant the escort and decided not to ask, letting her blue eyes fade back to her food. She was sure the girl was pretty, but something about her made her heart pound and kicked off a small bit of fear and she didn't know why. It felt like something long ingrained, but something that made no sense to her.<br/><br/>Ali raised her blues back to the honey browns and blinked again. “So, uh, your escort is gone, what was that about? If you mind me asking, feel free to tell me it's none of my business.” Her voice was low and sweet and soft like velvet. Her blue eyes held nothing but curiosity. This would be the first time in a long time that Ali had ever talked to anyone besides her family. Maybe she could make a friend of this girl, just maybe. As scared as she was, she longed to have a friend, someone to laugh and share inside jokes with.<br/><br/>Ali looked back down to her food and took a bite and then looked back up to the girl across from her. She seemed embarrassed, but why? Had her question been wrong? She really hoped not. She wasn't going to bite the girl. A swirling took over her and she fought it back down, her hair lifting slightly and she yanked her hood of her hoodie over her head. “Sorry.” She mumbled and finally the feeling passed and she took the hood off, watching her companion. She had no clue what that had been, what all the weirdness was that kept occurring around her, but she knew she wanted it done and over with and all she wanted was to be normal. Little did she know, she was never going to be normal and was far from a human and her parents knew it.
