Storming through the hallways at a fast pace, Bella tried her best to calm down. Just seeing that kid in the cafeteria brought back so many horrible memories. The nights waiting on the front porch with her cell phone in hand, waiting for her brother who would never come or call. The fights her parents had. The police questionings. All the unwanted fame she was getting at her school, for being the runaway boy's sister. She didn't even know if he was alive or not! Bella sighed and leaned against a row of lockers, trying to compose herself and clear her mind. It was no good to get herself all worked up like this. That's why she came here, to forget and put this all in the past. Deciding that the eerie empty hallways weren't that great for her mood, Bella turned back the way she came. Maybe drawing would help her relax, as it usually did. She just had to grab her supplies from her room. Lino walked through the school grounds, still careful to avoid the areas thickest with police officers. It didn't seem very safe to stay in the area though; if anyone caught him and realized that he wasn't a student he would be in big trouble. Or worse, someone might recognize him. Lino made his way back to the wall that he had scaled earlier and, after checking to make sure that no one was paying any attention to him, climbed it as easily as a cat. Now back on the city streets, he decided to to see if there were any places to stay out there, or at least something good to eat that he might be able to steal or beg off a vendor, since he had absolutely no money that would be accepted here. On his way Lino noticed the kid he had talked to earlier, Flippy, walking on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road at a fast pace, seeming to be trying to avoid attention as well. [i]Odd,[/i] he thought. Students weren't supposed to leave school grounds as far as he knew. But he just shrugged and went back to his task. After all, it wasn't like he was going to turn the student in or anything, nor did it matter enough for him to figure out what he was up to.
