[indent][indent]Derek could feel an eerie darkness that hovered over this girl. She looked normal and nervous, as any new high school student would. He couldn't take his eyes off her, even as she came to the empty seat next to him. She had a scent of fear on her, as if she was fearing for her life that same day. What was it about this girl's life that she was in fear of? Was her parents abusive? Was she scared for her life? Something didn't seem normal about her fear. He could see it in her eyes. She was genuinely afraid for her life. 

Something about her looked familiar. Almost as if he had seen her somewhere, but her name just didn't seem right. She didn't seem acknowledged when the teacher said her name. 

[i]Why am I getting so worked up about this?[/i]

"Good morning," he said to her, after she sat in the seat. [/indent][/indent]
