After having gone through the rest of her classes for the day, she had been informed some time ago about the dinner that would be taking place- And she wasn't too happy about it. Not only did she not like being around crowds of people, but she hated wearing dresses. She had plenty- Sure, but she still hated them.<br/><br/>The one she wore that night was black, falling to her knees and maybe even an inch lower. The straps of the dress originally were thin- But she wore a small jacket- type thing to cover her arms up, that only went about half way down her torso, at her rib area. That part was long sleeved- She hated showing skin. And, frankly, she'd do almost everything in her power -not- to show any skin.<br/><br/>Despite having dragged one on and trudged over to where she needed to be, Elizabeth had been surprised at the girls who had seemed to almost immediately sit around her. She had been planning on sitting alone through it... But evidently not. For the girls had already started talking to her, which she found rather strange at first, but she wouldn't exactly complain. Yet.<br/><br/>A girl, Jocelyn was to her side. And she listened to what was being said- Truthfully not liking all the noise of all the people there, though she would deal with it. It was always easy to deal with things, but it was hard to grow accustomed or to like things, at times. And at some point Elizabeth had agreed to going to The Guiding Footsteps party that apparently was after this. Of course she didn't really want to go, but Jocelyn had made her feel bad enough at the thought of the girl going alone that she would trudge through it, just like she was with this.<br/><br/>But of all things, she was surprised when seeing Aleksey. It was easy to tell he wasn't feeling too good, perhaps, though she wasn't sure what to make of him telling her to come with her- It seemed more orders then any suggestions as far as she could tell. And though she was thinking about staying, truthfully, as soon as jokes about him were being cracked she frowned slightly to herself. This was what she hated. She hated the people that always thought of themselves as better. The ones that thought they ruled the school.<br/><br/>And right when the stare down between Jocelyn and Aleksey had begun, Elizabeth stood, stepping to the side of Aleksey to put a hand on his arm, not even caring to glance at Jocelyn. "Come on, then. Don't want to keep me waiting, do you?" She stated, in her head trying to think of what possibly could've been wrong enough that Aleksey would rise from his seat to go find her. And, without really waiting for the stare to be broken between the two, she gave a small tug to his arm as well towards the nearest door that led outside.<br/><br/>If she hadn't been so concentrated with getting Aleksey away from this Jocelyn girl at the moment, she would've had more time to ponder over the fact that, Aleksey had growled. It wasn't a simple mad growl that she heard from people all the time- It wasn't human, and sure as hell wasn't natural. But she wouldn't be the one to make note of that- She hadn't ever been one to judge before, and she wouldn't start there. Maybe... The sound just hadn't come clear to her ears with all of the other noise in the hall.
