Victoria had noticed Emily earlier, she was awkward and rather much had a certain reputation in general, she was some what known for being a misfit.
Nodding as she weant by heading into the school, the smell of fresh paint and cleaning products was evident. New year smell, but at least someone had noticed her in a non insulting way.

Victoria was unsure about her, she was not the norm but her reputation was somewhat cold to say the least. Maybe they strangely did have one uniting factor they did not quite fit in. 

Looking back she saw someone taller by a good foot, rather slim and dressed like he had jumped into a pile, walked out and managed to just about be vaguely presentable responding cooly, slightly irritated, sure she was not as fast or strong, but not helpless. Her accent was distinctly English though. 

[i]"I'm alright thanks... Just because I am like I am. I do not need help everywhere I go." [/i]

Relishing her situation was not entirely the best, it was obvious to feel threatened slightly. He was a foot taller, stronger and faster than she was. She needed a distraction maybe a change of direction. ICT corridor was normally busy... She hoped..

[i]"if you wanna help...  Maybe you can show me where the new ICT block is. I kinda was not around much last year." [/i]

Looking over she spotted Emily a second, was she following her, eyed flashing about a cool grey that tried to hide a degree of nerves caused by the stranger.
