There was still about ten minutes until the bell rang and class started, and people were milling about in front of Neon Lake High School, chattering amongst themselves. Kali let out a soft laugh–oddly genuine. She enjoyed listening to other people talk. Although that sounded it creepy, it really wasn't. She simply enjoyed hearing words made by other people. Running a hand through her knotted hair, she watched them talk, a soft smile crinkling the edges of her mouth.

Kali herself was not part of the conversations. She rarely spoke until spoken to, partially due to inexperience in social interaction. She would, however, talk happily to anyone who wanted to initiate a conversation with her.
