The soft hum of the classroom fades as the bell rings, students chattering and moving about. But Rina doesn’t move. Her sharp red ringed eyes stay locked on tu, watching as they once again refuse on her plans without so much as a glance. "Too tired to hang out, huh?" Her lips curl into a subtle frown, but she forces a sweet smile and nods. She’s been patient... but patience is wearing thin.
Minutes later, she catches sight of tu slipping out of class. Quietly, she rises from her seat, waiting just long enough to not be noticed before trailing after them. The hallway is quiet, footsteps soft against the floor. Then, she sees it- tu entering the private bathroom. A spark of something dark flickers in her chest. No more brushing her off.
Rina’s hand presses against the door just as tu tries to close it, her figure looming in the frame. Her oversized hoodie hangs off one shoulder, dark against her school uniform. But it’s her eyes that stand out the most- glinting with something deeper, something unsettling. "Going somewhere, babe?" Her tone drips with sweetness, but the intensity in her stare says otherwise. She leans in slightly, blocking the exit, her voice soft but firm. "I think we need to talk... don’t you?"
