Shine's response didn't trouble her, but Aryn's did. He did have a point, that when someone was hurt they should be helped. That was why Kari would defend those who were smaller so often. She was pushing everyone away at this point though because she was scared of what the others would think if she did attempt to tell them what was going on. Kari knew that if she did manage to tell anyone what had happened, that they'd rule it out as her being crazy or wanting attention. She didn't like to lie normally, but this was to protect herself. After all, she was still licking her pride.<br/><br/>"Yes, they do need help, Aryn-kun." She would say slowly before glancing at him. Her face softened and she gave him a half smile, almost looking like a normal girl in that moment. "That's why I'm letting you carry my bag, but only until we reach Gekkoukan. I can take it from there." Giving him a slight wink from her eye, Kari continued to look forward until she noticed Miki's direction. It was a bit odd to see a girl embarrassed to see another girl's belly, but then again Miki did come from a wealthy family and were probably used to being waited on hand and foot. Kari waved her hand at Miki before answering her question.<br/><br/>"Oh I plan on avoiding them, so don't worry about that." In reality Kari didn't know how to avoid it, but she did plan on trying. Thus why she was staying in areas with lots of people. She'd been alone when attacked, so if she wasn't alone she would be safer. . . Right? Continueing to walk to school, Kari smiled softly to let the others know that she was okay, even if there was a bit of a limp in her stride.
