Karen was stupidly nervous now, her earlier blunder completely stripping her of almost, if not all, of her confidence. Her hair still billowed around her back and shoulders, as the nature of fire is to move. She swallowed what little saliva she had in her mouth, and slowly walked to sit beside the sleepy girl. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red, and she was speechless for quite some time, her mind berating her over and over for her stupidity. Eventually she realised that she still had to be polite, and she took a few deep breaths before she spoke to Hughes.

Even when introducing herself, she stuttered. Internally screaming, she forces a smile at Hughes', and hopes she isn't seen as a lunatic, or a simple idiot. She payed no attention to what Haley and Lucas were talking about, both due to her choosing not to eavesdrop, and because there was a lot more on her mind than she wanted, mostly being how stupid she reacted in front of her new class.
