Corina sighed softly when she took the patch and thanked her, pulling her arm back and thumping against the door. "No problem." She said kind of quietly with a little shrug of her shoulders, as she crossed her arms over her chest and watched the girl. She wasn't used to talking to people. She usually just kept to her own world, got average grades, and went unnoticed in school. She often didn't get along well with others, especially girls. She just wasn't interested in the things they were and never had been. She'd also done her fair share of pushing people away. Corina didn't want a friend to ask her to sleepover, because she could never take them to her house, and she didn't want anyone prying in her life. Plus, with moving all the time, how the hell was she supposed to keep friends? It just never worked out.

With a blink of her eyelashes, Corina realized the girl had asked her a question and pulled off the door, running her fingers through her long red hair and inspecting herself. Her old black blouse was safe, as were her shoes, but her white jeans had a small spot of blood on them near her hip. It wasn't a big deal anyway. It was too small for anyone to notice unless they looked at her really good, and she was pretty good at going unnoticed. With a shrug, she pulled her blouse over the spot and shook her head. "Nope, you didn't get me."

For a second, she watched as the girl struggled with the patch. It was clear that she couldn't tie it herself, and Corina wondered if she should offer to help her. It was weird, actually having to talk to someone. It wasn't exactly a normal conversation, but she was socializing. When the girl finally asked for her help, Corina nodded. "Yeah, sure. Here." She could tell the girl was embarrassed, and didn't know what to say to fix it. She guessed if the girl had run into anyone else, they'd be squeamish and squealy about the blood. Especially a girl. "You're lucky you bumped into me." She said with a slight smirk, reaching forward to tie the patch for her. "Anyone else probably would have been freaked out." When she'd finished tying the patch, she stepped back again. "I'm Corina by the way. Corina Ross."
