Ali looked up as the light popped and blinked. Had she seen what she thought? No, she had to be seeing things. She shook her head gently and looked back to the girl across from her, watching her flush. “Ah, so they caught you. It happens sometimes. I snuck out once or twice and didn't get caught, but it didn't feel right to me, so I stay.” She shrugged and blinked now realizing she hadn't gotten the girl's name. “I don't believe you gave me your name.” Her voice was light and lilting and she gave the other girl a friendly smile. “If you ask me, they've got sticks up their butts around here.” She mumbled it and then snickered a little at herself.<br/><br/>This wasn't as hard as she had pictured it to be. Although she still felt awkward and making jokes felt odd as well, but she wanted to make this other girl smile. She seemed to be so detached and she wondered why the girl had chosen to sit with her, then. She didn't know what more to say when the bell rang and Ali jumped a mile, squeaking out of sheer shock. “Hah, lunch is over, look at that.” She stood, pushing out her chair and took her trash, threw it away and then came back to see if the girl wanted to walk to class together.<br/><br/>“So, where is your next class? Want to walk together if it's close to mine?” She tilted her head in an inquisitive manner, her hair falling away from her newly clipped ears. You could tell they were not normal human ears. She quickly recognized this and covered her ears with her hair again and coughed, straightening. She looked to her feet and then back up to the brunette before her. She didn't know what more to say and what more to do. The teen before her was beautiful and she wouldn't dare say it. She had not seen any girls around the school who looked at girls the way she did and it made her even worse self conscious.<br/><br/>With a slight whine she sighed and headed to move off into the crowd, stopping for the other girl, reaching a hand out and motioning for her to follow. If she chose to go alone, Aliyah wouldn't question it and would understand that she had merely sat at her table out of need for her escort to go away and not out of wanting to actually talk to her. That would hurt, but she would deal with it. She wasn't sure how she would deal with it, but she would. Her blue eyes shone as she looked over the other and then she looked away, not allowing her thoughts to cross her face.
