Kalista tapped her foot impatiently, glaring at the clock. The little red hand was moving so darn slowly! It was killing her to be stuck in the classroom today, for some reason she was unsually antsy. It might have been the glaringly bright fluorescent lights that gave her a constant headache, or it might have been the sucking claustrophobic feeling that came with having so many bodies crowded into a tiny room. Either way, she needed to get out of there, and fast. 30 minutes left. Not being one to shy away from dramatics, Kalista decided to fake passing out. Sorry Mr. Robbins. I'm really not in the mood to learn how x equals 76r. She half smirked, then quickly plastered a fake look of panic on her face. Clutching the edge of her table so tightly her knuckles turned white, she feigned dizziness, then promptly proceeded to slide from her chair and onto the floor, succeeding in "passing out".

A blonde, green-eyed girl sitting next to her jerked her head up sharply, studying her for a moment, then smirked slightly and shook her head. It was obvious to Sorina that the other girl was acting - at least, in a way that was obvious to someone that had spent their entire life acting. It was some impressive skill, though. Since when do I look at that and smirk and call it impressive? she thought dryly, then sighed lightly, already knowing the answer. It came from too much time spent around Lucian. She glanced up, saw that no one had noticed yet, and then pretended to exclaim in surprise. "Whoa! Hey, are you all right?" As she spoke, she knelt down beside the fallen girl, the smirk changing to a dry grin. "I can tell you're acting," she whispered lightly. "You have talent, though." She tucked a long strand of golden-blonde hair behind her ear and tilted her head slightly. "I'm Sorina, by the way," she said, still in such a light whisper that no one else could hear her. "I'm guessing you're new here?"

Staying perfectly still, kalista murmured softly out of the corner of her mouth. "Yup. And from a new girl perspective, this class is far to boring. I figured we could use some excitement, and I could get out of the class in process." She half smirked, then quickly relaxed her face as footsteps came nearer.

"Yeah, it could at that," Sorina muttered softly, a slight grin still on her face that was immediately replaced by a concerned frown as the teacher padded near. She stood up briskly, twirling one strand of hair around her finger. "I think... she passed out," she said worriedly, tilting her head to one side. "What should we do?" The distress seemed perfectly real; after all, Sorina had faked every emotion, every word, and every expression for most of her life. Even now that all of that was behind her, the skills could still come in handy. Of course, two months ago she never would have thought that she would be lying to participate in a sort of prank. But... well, everything around her had changed dramatically. She might as well change with it. She couldn't be a normal, perfect human girl anymore - she couldn't even be human.
OOC}} Just so you know, she started out human, then got changed into a vampire. Recently.

Mr. Robins waddled quickly over, obviously in panic. His face was paler than usual, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke. "S-sh-she needs to get to th-the nurse." He cleared his throat nervously. Being a rather small and weak man in his late fifties, he didn't see how he could possibly carry her all the way to the health office.
Kalista snickered softly under her breath, the slightest bits of a smile curving her lips. She kept her eyes open the tiniest slit so she could observe the small chaos that had begun to ensue in the classroom. When Mr. Robbins peered down at her anxiously, she quickly smoothed her expression.

Sorina bit her lip to stifle a smirk, then sighed under her breath. I didn't use to smirk, either. Freaking Lucian, always rubbing off on me. OOC}} Wait till you meet Lucian, he's awesome XD BIC}} "I'll take her to the clinic," she said calmly, bending to pick the other girl up. Vampire strength made it easy. She heard a couple of intakes of breath as some of the more observant classmates realized at once what she was, but she paid no mind to it. Vampires lived among the humans constantly; it was just something most of them got used to. She padded out of the classroom, and then around a corner until they were out of sight, then set her down lightly. "You can wake up now," she said with a distinguishable touch of sarcasm.

She stood, brushing off her her jeans. "Well that worked out splendidly!" Smirking she began to retie her hair into a ponytail. "You might have mentioned you were a vampire in your introductions. Though I have to admit, it wasn't that much of a shock. You vampires, werewolves, witches, and warlocks are common here, aren't you?" She arched an eyebrow in her trademark expression, her smirk growing wider. "My name's Kalista, by the way."
OOC- I'm starting to really like this character...

OOC}} I am too! Lol
BIC}} "Yeah, we are, but I've only been a vampire for a month max," Sorina said mildly, with a dismissive shrug. "It's a long, dramatic, emotional story I'm not quite up to telling." She inclined her head, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What brings you here, anyway? This place isn't exactly an ideal living environment... on the contrary, we often refer to it as the center of Hell."

"The rent's cheap." Points out mildly. "And it's the only place my mom won't visit. She's absolutely terrified of this town. Apparently my dad got changed into a vampire while on vacation here." She shrugged dismissivly. "And I doubt you get in too much trouble if you skip school every once in a while."

OOC}} Hey you know there's a chatbox at the bottom of the page right?
BIC}} Sorina snorted. "Oh, trust me. With the trouble some of my friends have gotten in, I've ditched entire weeks. No one even bats an eyelid." She tilted her head, her eyes narrowing slightly. "So you're avoiding your mom, hmm?"

"You do not know how beautifully sweet those words sound to my ears!" Kalista grinned, then crossed her arms. "My mom is bipolar. She's either way to involved, or could care less about me. I grew up with 5 younger siblings in a tiny apartment. My dad was never around, so I've never really been very close with them."

"Ah." Sorina shrugged and leaned back. "Well, I can relate to parent issues. My mom died before I can remember, and my dad hospitalized me and killed himself. It's a pretty typical story for Amenia. Almost everyone has a psychopathic relative here. It sucks, but you get used to it." She glanced up as the bell rang, then grinned widely. "Well. Apparently the other torture victims can now join us." "Hey, Sunny." She barely even jumped as Lucian's voice came suddenly from behind her, just crossed her arms and twisted to look at the dark-haired, blue-eyed senior standing in the hallway, his arms crossed and a characteristic smirk on her face. "Hi, Lucian," she muttered resignedly. Lucian smirked wider, then inclined his head at Kalista. "And you are?" he asked mildly, not as if he were really interested. OOC}} He's a werewolf btw

I padded down the hall. I heard muffled voices and listened to them carefully. It didn't take long to distinguish Sorina and Lucian's voices. I went towards their direction. I noticed a girl with them. "Well hello guys! I didn't expect to see you out here..." I lied smoothly knowing neither would fall for it. They knew me far too well. "Hi, I'm Crystal Wright, and who are you?" I asked sweetly smiling at the girl in front of us.

"Kalista." She grins innocently."Sorina was just helping me skip math. Then I got filled in on the fact that she's a bloodsucker." Smirks.

"Yes, she got changed, entirely against my efforts," Lucian growled, then paused, raising an eyebrow at Sorina. "You... helped her ditch Math?" "Yeah." She smiled ruefully. "Bit of a long story, actually, but apparently you rubbed off on me way too much." "I do that." He stared evenly at Kalista. "So. You're human. You know, that's getting increasingly rare." Sorina rolled her eyes and turned away. "Anyway... Crystal. Hey. What's new?" she asked, smirking. For some reason, she was in a very good mood today - not exactly happy, but something very close to it.
