[center] Naka [/center]

Naka watched the assembly with a wry smile, even as it became over run with teenage (and adult) bloodlust, she didn't even flinch. She'd heard talk of Xaiver's death, and though it hadn't effected her, she could understand their attitude. As the speech came to a close, most of the students seemed in a hurry to file out, some milled around to talk to the faculty. Just as Naka was making back up plans in her head, a familiar face spotted her. Her friend seemed to sense Naka's injury too, and the young woman sighed softly as they walked closer.

Inwardly, the gypsy girl cringed, but outside, she smiled through the busted lip, hoping her swollen eye wasn't showing. "You should see the other guy..." Naka awkwardly trailed off as she shrugged. " Nice to see ya Rory, I didn't know ya went here..." The two had only ever seen one another in public, party settings. They'd drank together a few times, and Naka had nothing but warm feelings for the girl. The friend soon was joined by another and seemed to be in a rush to get going. Naka shook her head, "Listen Rory, if ya could just show me the hospital bay...or....whatever you call it here, I can fend for myself from there."

It was a lie.

But Naka wasn't about to show weakness in front of these other girls.
