Yesterday had been great, except for the fact that her mother hadn’t been willing to talk to her, and everything Lauren had done had been at her own risk. She had this idea that her mother had given up on her and would rather see Lauren behind bars than thriving free and doing community service. This was one of the reasons why Lauren hoped that she could move out as soon as possible and thereby not have to look at her mothers frown every day. Of course, this would be bad for her little sister, Taylor – but she had her friends, right?
Enough of those spiraling thoughts. She had a class to fall asleep in. She carried a few books in her arms, and let dem fall down onto the table with a bang. The table was so dirty. One could see how the table had been used for years, filled with residue clay, paint and what else one could think of. Jesus, Lauren wouldn’t want to think about what else could be on the table when nobody was having classes… Lauren sat down lazily and let her arms stretch over her books, a little hunched over. She leaned a little back in her stool and noticed she had sat herself next to a new face. Or maybe it wasn’t new? She let her dark eyes study her discreetly for a moment before she looked back at her books. Definitely someone she had seen in the halls before. She closed her eyes trying to remember if she knew the name of her. Fuck it. “Hey friend… What’s you name again?” she spoke softly to her knowing that sooner or later miss Morrow would step inside the classroom.

The last few days had been quiet, most of the time she buried her face in a book about a foreign land. This was her escape, cause here everything was perfect. A thing the young werewolf wasn’t really used to. Today wasn’t that different, except she had classes and next up was art class. This was one of Dakotah’s favorites, where she was able to use her creativity.
Walking towards class, she got bumped into by another student, who just laughed it off, as one of the books feel out of Dakotah’s grip. She took a deep breath and bend down to pick up the book, reaching the classroom. Two familiar faces met her with a smile as she entered and she returned it, before finding chair, just waiting for miss Marrow to enter and let the lesson begin.

Other students started joining the three of them, taking the empty chairs. Dakotah was usually left to herself, since she barely spoke to anyone, even though it was her second year. She just sat there in her own thoughts as someone started talking to her. A slight smile found its way to her lips ”I’m Dakotah.” she said, before looking towards the door and miss Marrow entered the room.

Lauren hummed a little as the blonde girl responded. “I knew that,” she said nodding a little, “It means something with being friendly right?” she said nodding a little making a little hand gesture, as if she was pointing it out. She had once had a friend who had been named the same, which was the only reason why she knew it. “Which is why I called you friend, yeah,” she licked her lips a little, knowing how awkward she had just made herself sound. God have mercy on her conversations. She turned a little in her seat so she faced the blonde werewolf more. She put her hand out for Dakotah to shake. “I’ve been away for a couple of months. I’m Lauren,” she presented herself and truly hoped that no one had heard about how Lauren had been arrested. One wouldn’t be second guessing that it had been something like prison or hospital when they noticed how she was missing her left middle finger. Gang community at it’s worst, yes sir.
Whether or not Dakotah would shake her right-hand, Lauren would change the way she sat on the stool, so one leg was in tailors’ position, and the other above it so she could hug her leg. “You know, I’m really tired,” she said and glanced from the door that opened to Dakotah, “Would you mind poking me if I fall asleep and miss Morrow notices?” she wondered and put her cheek on her knee while taking in the details of the girl next to her.

Dakotah offered the brunette an assuring smile, nodding softly, really trying to understand what was happening right now. She wasn’t really used to have conversations unless she really had to, but it was… Somewhat nice? Yeah, it was. She chuckled softly as the other werewolf reached out her hand. Dakotah took it, shook it and smiled ” Lauren? That Lauren? I mean… Uhm.. Not in a bad way” she said, trying to save her own ass, hoping she didn’t hit a nerve or something. The last thing she wanted was ending up in a fight with another werewolf… In class. All she heard was people talking about some Lauren who suddenly didn’t show up for a longer period, why? She didn’t know, didn’t really care, since it wasn’t her business. Dakotah eyed miss Morrow as she walked in ”Uhm… Yeah, sure” she said, with the same assuring smile as before. Dakotah spaced out, not really listening much to miss Morrow’s words, but started drawing small drawings on her paper, sometimes eyeing Lauren beside her, making sure she didn’t fall asleep or be ready to wake her up if she did.

Lauren was the best talker, or at least, it would be a waste to give her such medal. Her brain usually ran much faster than her surroundings, which was why her sentences could sound odd or just need some explanation. The brown eyes looked analyzing at into the blue eyes as she repeated Lauren’s name and mentioned that it wasn’t in a bad way that she had heard of her. See, even though Dakotah seemed like a really nice person with an amazing sense of fashion, there was something about the way she spoke that made Lauren believe that what she had heard about her wasn’t good. She let her tongue glide over her teeth thoughtfully. “Right,” she mumbled.
Even though Lauren was extremely tired and her eyes sometimes closed for a little more than half a minute, she couldn’t really fall asleep. Normally she could sleep anywhere in almost any position. Her eyes occasionally got distracted by Dakotah’s drawings and how she held her pen. Whenever the two of them got eye contact, she sent her a tired smile. “What are they saying about me?” she mumbled. She knew that she had a reputation with having overdosed – hell as well as she was doing, she had overdosed once every year of the academy. Hurray! She knew that people thought it was odd that she only had a little stubble of her left ring finger, but this being the second day of being back, she didn’t know if people knew. Did people know that she had been clumsy which had resulted in a kid swallowing her drugs, almost killing the kid? God, she could just remember how her mother and sister looked when she was being picked up by the police. Her mother clearly disappointed and her sister devasted. It was good that Taylor had friends. She had friends, right? With her mind going as fast as it did, the slight worry about her little sister’s wellbeing and how well she was thriving at the school was thrown away, and instead she thought of Dakotah’s name, or simply just Dakotah. Lauren liked her nose and the little beauty mark on her cheekbone. It was almost distinctive features. Wait, had Dakotah replied?

Dakotah bit her lowerlip and send the werewolf an assuring smile or tried. It wasn’t really that bad just the disappearing. Of course, she knew a little more, the whole school did, but Dakotah didn’t care, the werewolf probably had some problems that she dealt with and needed to get away for some time. Everyone had some periods in their life where people were the worst thing that existed. She looked down at Lauren and bit her lip once more ” That you disappeared, that’s the newest” she said with a soft smile ” But we both know, that people are snakes and talk shit about every person” she said, trying to sound assuring. Dakotah herself had some rumors about her send across the school, but they have been filtered out.

Dakotah was always making sure that Miss Morrow didn’t look down at them or catch Lauren slumbering off. The pen lines on the paper started slowly to resemble something, but she wasn’t really sure what it would be in the end, eventually something, right? She looked down at Lauren again and noticed how she looked at her and just smiled softly, cheeks slightly blushing up. The werewolf wasn't really that bad as people said, at least Dakotah couldn't see or feel it.

Lauren pressed her lips a little together and nodded quite tired when Dakotah mentioned that the gossip about her most recently was how she had disappeared. Interesting word to use, but of course, if people didn’t care about her, they would of course not try and figure out what had happened. That she had accidentally dropped some pills in a restroom in an apartment where a kid found the pills after she hadn’t found all of them herself… And the same day, she had been arrested and put in prison. A tough life is to be clumsy. She raised her brows a little as se elaborated that everyone was a snake, “Well, I did disappear…” she said and shrugged. She noticed how Dakotah’s cheeks got a little bit of color which only made Lauren’s lips press a little together trying to hide a glad smile. It didn’t take long before Lauren started to slumber off and she bowed her head, resting her forehead against her palm while looking at the empty paper beneath her. With her free hand she tried to make a couple of strokes, simply so it looked like she was doing something. Eventually, the way that Lauren sat made her drop her head from dozing off. It made herself move quickly which the teacher noticed. Lauren waved at her with a wide smile, as if nothing had happened. She only received squinted eyes back, which made Lauren look back at her paper, “So, you don’t like snakes?” she mumbled, and glanced towards Dakotah, trying to tie some ends together from their conversation from before she had dozed off. “Not that I’m judging at all, you know, snakes can be bitches,” she showed Dakotah her left hand, where Lauren was missing a middle finger. It was one a serpent member had bitten off, from flipping her middlefinger of the newest gang leader in the Southside Serpents. A gang that Lauren was a member of which symbol was a snake with a head in both ends, and the symbol was tattooed on the right side of her ribcage, underneath her arm.
