Kenny shook his head. "Yeah. Well, I might be able to help you out with more money if you need," he said.

"Yeah, see you around, Nox," Kenny said. "Dera didn't hurt you too badly, did she?"

"Nah. Just bruising." She assured him. "It's not as bad as it looked."

Kenny shook his head. "Yeah, sure. Whatever you say. If you need some ice or something, I can help you out."

Meanwhile, Rakel had left class that day with an agitated, upset air. She already hated this school. Only half the water fountains worked and those that did always tasted of rust. There was graffiti everywhere outside and in the bathrooms, but all that was just the area. She could almost get used to the flickering lights and the cracked mirrors and the occasional boarded-up window. But what really drove her nuts was the people. It was so crowded, all the time. She asked for help in a couple classes (being out of class for a couple weeks as she transferred schools and moved had put her a bit behind) but her teachers hardly glanced over to her. Trying to figure it out herself was an exercise in exasperation. It didn't help that most of the people there didn't seem to care either. Several students hadn't shown up to class (not that she was going to complain about the classroom not being even more crowded) and even those that were there spent the time talking, hassling the teacher, and otherwise being distracting nuisances. Sure there was always one class clown in the class, but that kind of behaviour from the whole room made doing any work impossible. The whole experience was driving her nuts and she was glad to get out and try to find that boy Kurtis - who was the closest thing to what she could call a friend in this lousy town.

Rakel was almost off school grounds by the time an older boy with strawberry blond hair approached her. "Hey, you must be new around here, I haven't seen you around before. Name's Ryan." His hands were firmly pressed into his pockets and, for once, he wasn't wearing sunglasses, having intended on just popping down to talk to Lynn away from prying eyes.

"Yeah, I just moved here a couple weeks ago." She acknowledged. "My name's Rakel."

"Where from?" Ryan asked. "If you don't mind me asking."

"Tacoma, if you can believe that." Rakel answered with a smile.

Ryan nodded like he knew where that was. "That's a fair ways. I guess you've realized by now it sucks here, huh?"

"You can say that again." She grumbled.

"You get picked up by a gang yet? I've heard those fuckers work fast."
