Corrine hesitates to answer.

[color=a187be]"T-the name's Corrine."[/color] She says softly. All of her confidence is gone, her fighting spirit crushed. She should have listened to her brother and ran home. But, she'll just have to explain herself. [color=a187be]"I-I came here because I heard someone was gonna get beat up, but I ended up meeting up with the tall ones. My brother ran back to the diner."[/color] She trails off with her story, hoping that she wouldn't get beat up and be let off easily.

[color=a187be]"So, uh, whats your name? Are you gonna beat me up?"[/color] Corrine is more concerned about getting hurt than anything. She knows that her parents would be furious if she came home with a black eye. Lord have mercy on her brothers who had gotten into fights and came home with a shiner. Especially with Antonio's old gang running around their old town, basically fighting anything that moves and breathes.

[color=a187be]"I wanted to go inside the house to see what was going on. Can I? I wont break anything or tell anyone. Honest!"[/color] She pleads. For once something exciting has happened since she moved, besides the breakfast rush at the diner.
