Mira was startled from her afternoon cat-nap by the sound of quick footsteps as someone ran across the rooftop. She groaned and look around to see who had disturbed her. She came here during her free periods so that she could be alone and undistubed.
She caught sight of a girl standing by the railing looking out over the school grounds and decided that if she was going to have company, she might as well be social.
She pushed herself up, away from the wall she had been leaning against and walked over to where the other girl was standing.
"Hi, I'm Mira." she said as she came up next to the girl and leaned against the railing. "what are you doing up here?" she asked trying not to sound rude or nosey, but just curious.

Dia was lost in her observations of the grounds below and thus did not hear Mira's approach, and so, when he girl spoke to her she jumped slightly and whipped around, her hair flying out as she turned. Her gaze focused on Mira and she wasn't sure what to say for a moment. She had just gotten done running from the people surrounding her and now here she was faced with another. 'C'est la vie,' she thought, mentally sighing before she answered, her voice quiet and polite when she did so. "Nice to meet you, I'm Dialisse, but most call me Dia. And if you must know I came up here to," there was a slight pause where she decided to tell part of the truth before continuing. "Take a breather...there's too many people down there," she finished, gesturing to the yard below .

Mira sighed and gazed without actually seeing, down at the school-yard. "Yeah I know what you mean. I swear, there are more people just in this school than in the whole town I used to live in before I came here. It gets so that it feels like the walls are closing in on you sometimes..."
She suddenly realized that she was talking to herself more than to Dia and she felt the blood rush to her face as she looked over to the other girl. "Sorry if I scared you. So, Dia, right? Are you new here?" She asked trying to make up for dazing out.

"New?" she thought a moment, she both was and wasn't. "Well yes I just transferred here yesterday...but I've lived in tis town for a while now. I used to be homeschooled until quite recently and well...I guess you could say I don't get out much," she said and then slight smile she gave in turn with her words had a slight mockingly cold edge to it as though there were something wrong with that fact. "So....what brings you up here?" she asked, trying to change the subject as she didn't like giving too much information about herself...if any.

Mira realized that the subject had shifted to her and tried to make her mind speed up so that her absentmindedness wouldn't show too much. "Oh, me? I come up here for my free periods so that I can get out of the stuffy classrooms. I like the fresh air adn I like to away from the teachers. I don't think they like me too much; they say I talk too much."
She gave a nervous laugh and looked over to see what her companion's reaction was, hopeing that she hadn't just proved that fact.

The girl waited for a few moments after Mira had stopped talking and then realize she was waiting for some sort of response or aknowledgement and so she nodded slightly in understanding, but she didn't look like she minded the talking. "I don't mind," she confirmed, which was only half true.
She liked listening to others talk if it kept them from asking about her, but she still couldn't get over the feelings she got when around people.....there feelings. She sighed and looked away, her gaze seeming distant as it returned to the grounds below.

When Dia returned her gaze to the grounds below, Mira did the same, and saw her twin brother wave up at her from the side-walk. Goes to show how much time she spends up here...
She casually waved back and in an attempt to explain to Dia in case she had noticed, said, "Oh, that's my brother down there. He's so lucky. He took extra classes for the last couple years and this year he only has two classes so he gets to come in late and leave early every day."
She sighed and stepped up onto the lower-most rail and closed her eyes, letting the wind calm her. " I love the wind." She said absently, before remembering that she wasn't alone, and quickly adding, "It's really nice out, don't you think?" as she turned to face Dia.

Again there came a faint nod and then when she was questioned there came yet another one, and then she realized that she was probably supposed to answer. "Yeah...it is rather nice out today," she replied.
Then after a moment she added, "Kinda cold though," almost as an afterthought.
Finally she moved away from the edge of the roof so as to block the ground and all the people from her gaze. "I have to get to class soon," she said, her voice tinted with a great deal of annoyance and a slight undercurrent of fear.

Mira caught the slight annoyance in Dia's words and felt she should appologize. "I'm sorry I bothered you. I have a bad habbit of talking too much to people I barely know. In my old town, everyone knew everyone. I don't know anyone here..." she trailed off.
Just then the bell rang and she jumped in surprise. "Oh!. I have to get to class, too!" She got an idea and taped Dia on the shoulder to get her attention, before saying, "Hey, would you sit with me at lunch? I mean, since neither one of us really know many people."

Dia had turned and wasopening to door to head downstairs with the bell rang and Mira began heading towards her. Quickly she began to head down but before she got far she felt a hand on her shoulder, and then it came.
She could feel the girl's emotions and they began to paint pictures of the girl's past. Flashes of things she didn't wish to know and she let out a shriek and shot forwards like a cannon, wishing to get away from Mira as quickly as possible, and in doing so she found herself falling.
Her eyes widened as the stairs rushed up too meet her, and she tucked herself into as ball as best she could before she hit and tumbled down the stairs, slamming against the wall and then laying spraled out on the first landing.

Mira stood stunned at the top of the stairs as this event took place and, with her hand still outstreched and her wouth wide with shock, stumbled and almose followed Dia's example. As soon as she had regained her balance and her mind was working again, she ran down the stairs as fast as she could yelling as she went. "Oh my God! Are you alright? Dia?"
As she came to end of the flight of stairs she stopped and knelt down at Dia's side, not knowing what to do. She was verry hesitant to try and touch her after seeing her reaction to her touch the first time.

The blow that had occured agaisnt the wall had involved the slamming of her head, however she was still concious for the moment...though she did seem a bit out of it as she smiled slightly up at Mira.
"Yeah, I'm....fine," she said, the words coming out too slowly for them to have been the truth, a fact that the slight clouding of her eyes beared testament to. "Just...give me a minute....to collect myself," she added, falling silent for a moment before speaking once more...even more slowly and disjointedly than any time before. "I'm......sorry.....I....didn't....mean...to."
However these words didn't seem to be directed at Mira. Instead, her eyes seemde to be steadily clouding and a faraway look had com over within them. "I won't.....I won't do it again....I...swear."
Fear had returned within the depths of her eyes when she said this and then it too faded. "I just need to....sleep for a little bit." It seemed as though that would be her last statement and her voice had been slowly getting quieter until it came out barely above a whisper.

At first Dia's smile reassured Mira, but the effort she put into talking and her clouded eyes took all that reassurance away and more. Tehn when she stopped making sense all together Mira was really scared.
She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to leave Dia alone but she had to get help. She realized that Dia had gone unconcious and her decision was made up for her.
"I'll be right back." she said quickly, and sprinted like she never had before to the first classroom she came to, which just so happened to her English class. A class in which she had extraordinary talent which the teacher refused to aknowledge. She hated the teacher and was sure that he hated her, but right now was not the time to hold grudges.
Well that's what she thought at least. The teacher seemed to have a different opinion.
"Stop making up stories and get to your class." Was Mr. Kei's response when she told him what had happened. "There are no students with that name in this school, so I suggest..."
Mira cut him off. "She is new to this school! And she needs help!" She was tired of wasting time with him. "You know what? Get the hell out of my way!" She ran past him and picked up the phone on his desk as he stared at her dumbstruck. She dialed 911 and explained to them, and as soon as they said they would send an ambulance, she hung up and ran out of the room, leaving Mr. kei stareing after her.
She then ran back to where Dia was and knelt beside her, not noticing the crowd that was slowly forming behind her and only getting up when she heard the sound of the sirens and got out of the way as the paramedics came through and took Dia away on a strethcer.
They let her go along in the ambulence but made her stay in the waiting room when she got there. She soon fell asleep, someting she does often when her mind needs an escape from the thoughts of life. She drifted...
