Color blooms behind her closed eyelids as she falls to the concrete and hits hard. Her face is flushed in the heat and embarrassment. Someone bends over to help her up and blue eyes flutter open taking in red hair and a sarcastic smile as a certain someone bends over to help her up. "Alkaid" the blond haired girl whispers in a voice cracked with grief and hope and her expression dies when she realizes the one standing over her is not the one she wishes it to be but someone else.
