Reala could only look at Nathan as she listened to what he said while all the students retrieved their books and study guides for their classes and informed what district they would be in. While that was going on Reala could only think for a moment until they called her turn. She walked over and retrieved her materials then walked over to where Nathan was standing. She couldn't sit down otherwise it would be seen as fraternizing with the boys. The thought of a teacher yelling at her didn't bother her where She stared down at the ground then swept her hand across her face to prevent tears from falling down her face. She could not let Nathan see that she was getting emotional. It she did, it would be a weakness her enemy could use against her. Staying strong she shook off the tremendous pressure from the pain she felt from her loneliness and trying to use it further to act like she wasn't even hurt. She then tilted her head with a fiery look of a serious nature filled her entire face. She could feel the strength of that feeling all over her body as it pulsed through her veins giving her a new refreshed confidence after all that was said. [b]"Look, I understand what you're saying, but you cannot convince me to think otherwise. This is my problem so just stay out of it. You have no idea how I feel so don't even think you know! How could you? Unlike you, I had to fend for myself when my foster parents died. How could you possibly understand what it is like to have to go through what I've been through?"[/b] Reala paused for a moment as she saw memories she shared with her foster parents. Ones that she couldn't forget, especially the ones that kept them close together as one nicely knitted family. [b]"Reala, don't be like this! Everyone needs friends to rely on!"[/b] Meira tried to remind her, but Reala shook her head in disbelief as she turned her attention away from Meira. Meira knew Nathan only wanted to help her sister and she wanted to assist too, but Reala's do it herself ego stood in the way of trying to grow a closer relationship toward her. When Meira said she would help Reala and held at her hand, Reala slapped it away in disgust. When Reala slapped Meira's hand away she looked at her with a hurt look on her face. [b]"I was only trying to help, Reala. You don't have to be so damn stubborn. We are sisters after all? Doesn't that mean anything?"[/b] Reala immediately turn her back on Meira and gave her a hmph expression crossing her arms. [b]"You're a Princess, Meira. Unlike you I don't need anyone to protect me. Since you are a natural born leader you need everyone to protect you. Now just stop bothering me already!"[/b] With that said Reala walked over back toward where the girls were supposed to be as she awaited the announcement there train was going to arrive soon. She didn't mind being in the same class as Meira, but she didn't want anything to do with Nathan. She saw him as an obstacle who could become a problem if she didn't keep an eye on him. She turned around and her words rang a very serious vibe when they pierced the air in the room, [b]"Stop trying to think you understand me, Nathan. At least I can control my power unlike you who needs someone to hold your hand! Now you need my aunt to hold your hand. You're so pathetic! You can't do anything on your own. You're so dependent. Why don't you just shut up already!"[/b] She paused for a moment as she pointed her finger at him where she continued, [b]"Get in my way, Nathan and I will kill you! If you don't think I'm serious then just try me. I will do what I feel needs to be done. I don't need you telling me who and who I can't fight. You aren't my father and you certainly aren't my damn brother!" [/b] [b]"REALA!!!"[/b] Meira yelled at her certainly offended by what her sister had just said about her friend. [b]"Don't you think that was brutally harsh?"[/b] [b]"It's not my problem if he can't handle the truth."[/b] Reala shrugged as she continued to walk away where she returned to the wall she was leaning against. When she left, Meira could tell that Reala did not mean those words and she was just angry and frustrated. There was no way her sister would say such a thing even if she didn't want help from others.
