Ava heard Alexander's words,  and new this standoff was not going to end lightly.  "He was the one that threatened a female.  Not I.  And now he say's it was not him by default of sleep!"  But Ava knew Alezander was right.  One of them had to stand down.  As much as it gripped her, Ava hopped down from the desk and glared at the beast, "I do not lie, Lyk.  I was not the only one that heard your threat.  Ask your own kind, and you will see."  She said softly, then turned, moving away from everyone and finding a spot in the back of the room.<br/><br/>Her anger was still there, festering inside.  No one had ever accused her of not telling the truth.   This whole place left a sour taste in her mouth.  All she wanted was to go back home to her father and her old routine.  Crossing her arms in front of her, she kept her eyes on the entire class from the back row, she had no desire to be talked down like a common urchin again.
