Faith Eliza Cord
Four Thousand Club
"Hey, you'd be surprised, Mel," Faith said mildly, shrugging one shoulder in response. "Kids here, most of them are willing to help you out even if they don't know or particularly like you, just because it seems the right thing to do. My sister and my daughter would, almost everyone would, really. Even Raina here, as much as she might say otherwise. I bet in the end, she'd help if she could."
"But you're right, it's your choice. And if you say no, well, we gotta get going with getting him fixed up then."
As she moves to the body, beginning to tell the nurses what to do with it, she looks up, noticing that Adrian DeSanto is standing in the doorway of the infirmary, watching. She raises an eyebrow, as the boy looks from Riff's body to Mel with something like apprehension, remembering her earlier confrontation with Lil and her sneering at his sister. Katarina is standing just behind him, not quite coming close enough to look in, especially when Adrian, eyes narrowed, shoos her back.
"Don't look, Rina...what happened here? Did she do it?" he points towards Mel, his tone tightening. "Where's Lil? Did she-"
"Adrian, stay back and don't get involved in something that isn't your concern here," Faith interjected, motioning with her hand for him to back away. "There's been a serious incident, and it's being dealt with. Lil is no longer a student here so she is no concern of yours."
"What happened?" he asked again, completely ignoring her, one hand still behind him to stop Katarina from coming forward. "Who did that?!"

Sheena turned towards Nickkie slowly, not having expected her to speak, let alone such clearly adult words. She eyes the girl, thoughtful but not outwardly accepting yet, and gives a slight shrug before turning back to Macal. The girl is just a child, she doesn't know what she's saying or asking or what is even going on.
Liza nods though and hugs Nickkie again, satisfied with her assessment. "Uh huh. 'Cause love is good and mad is bad. Alex you don't get no one's chips. Ours ours ours!" She high fived Nickkie for good measure.
