You learned so many things at school. At least, that's what she was told. Lina figured all the important things about life were learned while living. If you didn't figure them out quickly enough, then your life ended. Seemed to be the best way to let the dumb die off first. Which was why Lina was already skipping classes. What was the damned point of Social Science? You climbed ladders with being the best, taking out the guy on the rung in front of you, or being on your back. She didn't need to know anything else.
So she had found an empty classroom and had picked the lock. Easy enough for the likes of the criminal! The red head shut the door behind her and walked across to a window. The icy hearted woman flung it open and seated herself on the edge. A crisp breeze flowed in, giving her a nice smack in the face. Thanks mother nature!
She pulled cigs out from her pocket and pressed on to her lips. A lighter followed, and soon she was breathing lung cancer. Today she was wearing black slacks with a black and red graphic t-shirt and a pair of red and black converse. A bit of a lighter look from the day before, but still skin tight and showing every inch of her off.
Lina was only a few puffs into the damn thing when the door opened again. Apparently she forgot to lock the door after her...

Archimedes enjoyed his alone time. Which was hard to get in a school like 259. Though... his free study periods did allow him some time to try and get away from it all. And so, here he was, slinking along the halls in a forest green-button up and black slacks, trying to find an empty classroom to crash in, for at least an hour. Coming up to one of them, he brought the modified needle-lockpicks out of his pocket and had almost put them in the lock of the door when he noticed that the door was already open.
Well hey, good job janitors.
He quickly opened the door and slid inside, turning around to close it behind him, not noticing that the room was already occupied. After closing the door and locking it, Archimedes slipped the lockpicks into his pocket again, and pulled out his personal needle, quickly sticking it in his mouth and beginning to click away with it at his teeth. It was probably horrible for his enamel, but what were you gonna do? At least he wasn't smoking.
Turning around, Archimedes finally noticed that the room was occupied, though thankfully it seemed by another student trying to get away. The needle in his mouth paused in its movement, watching as the girl puffed away at a cancer-stick in between her full lips. He raised an eyebrow, before shrugging, and beginning to click away with the needle again.
Moving to another side of the room, far enough away from the girl so as not to smell her cigarette smoke, he pulled out one of the chairs on the desks, spinning it around so that he could stare out the window. Archimedes would have preferred to be alone, but he really rather didn't want to go slinking around the halls again. There was always a chance of getting caught by a teacher, or worse, a pillar.

The door opened and a male figure entered. Lina's cool eyes glanced over and took his entire frame in. He stopped, stared at her a minute, and then went about his business as if she was nothing to bat an eyelash at. Lina was vain, and this silly little boy was ignoring her.
Really? For real? Just up and ignoring her? As if she wasn't something to be drooled over and worshiped? HA. Bastard was going to learn a fucking lesson about ignoring Lina Sabir. She was NOT to be ignored. Her daily quota was about to be filled with ease.
Finishing the cancer stick off, Lina tossed the thing out the window.
Then she walked to the front of the classroom, smiled and lifted an eyebrow. Oh, she was looking right at him. Icy eyes boring holes into him. Good thing the door was locked, would make things easier if someone came in to break things up.
"You like being rude? Interrupting my privacy without so much as a hello or your name?"
She'd start off almost nice. Almost. There were so many ways to hurt a person, and she hadn't decided which way just yet. Physical was always the easiest, and the quickest to heal so it wasn't always the best. Sometimes the pains that were caused at a more basic level lasted longer. And Lina was thinking that she just might try some of that on this poor kid. Bend them until you break them.

Archimedes' amber eyes slid over to look at the girl as she walked up to the front of the room, her icy blue eyes staring right back at him. There was a cold smile on her face, not unlike the ones he would usually give toe people he was being condescendingly nice to. He rose an eyebrow to hers as she belligerently spoke to him, calling him rude for not speaking to her.
This caused the gears to start churning in his head. Rude for not talking to her? Hmmm.... full of herself then. Usually difficult to manipulate unless one was willing to prostrate themselves before the subject. Which Archimedes was loathe to do. Nevertheless, a blank smile came over his face, his voice being ever polite as he spoke.
"Rude? I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about. I left you to your own devices, and made my way a respectable distance away. Was there some... reason that I would deign to speak with you?"
His head tilted in slightly mocking questioning, the blank smile turning cold as he finished speaking. He was more than willing to trade verbal barbs. It was so much more... rewarding than any type of physical altercation.

Really now. Why did he had to put up a fight? Leaving her to her own devices. The second eyebrow joined the first in being raised above her eyes. She stepped forward for a moment, and sat on the desk closest to her. A warm smile appeared on her lips, and those icy orbs thawed to dance for a moment. Yeah, she was starting to put on the works.
She leaned forward and placed her elbows on her knees. The girl was enjoying this, even if it was a mild game of cat and mouse. And in her mind there was no doubting whom was the cat, and whom was the mouse.
"Chivalry is really dead then and this school is filled with horrible things that await?"
Lina tossed her head back and laughed at her own joke. Inner joke of course. Chivalry was dead, and she never wanted it back. Bringing it back would mean that women would have to be "ladies" again. And she was no lady. Never would be.
"Or rather, the reality of it is, you came into my den here. My territory. The moment someone does that, I decide it's good to know their name, and what they're up to. So I can get make facts straight later."
Hints and threats. Her old days in gangs rising up in her. Yes, she was speaking like this room was hers by right. She was here first after all. The red head was waiting for an answer on that.

Shifting the needle in his mouth back and forth slowly, Archimedes watched the woman carefully as her body language changed subtly. Her movements had become... softer, more seductive. Obviously she had relied on her body to get the things that she wanted in the past. The needle in his mouth clicked loudly as she leaned forward, smiling at him and speaking of chivalry.
On the idea of chivalry, Archimedes snorted lightly, responding with disgust in his voice.
"Chivalry was an anachronistic establishment that was merely a way used to make inadequates feel better about themselves. It is completely unneeded if one is content with how they are."
Though it is a good way to manipulate the more... intellectually inadequate of the female half Archimedes thought to himself, his cold smile growing a bit feral before settling back down.
As the woman went on to describe the classroom as her 'territory', a disbelieving look drifted it's way across his face. It was hers? Was she truly that delusional? He had seen her being led around by that large, fashion faux-pas student... what was his name? Kat-something or other? She was no more an old student of this school than he was.
"Yes well, obviously you didn't mark the room quite well enough, if it allowed vagrants such as myself to come waltzing in unannounced. Perhaps a few more weeks of allowing your name to filter through the school would be wise, hmmm? Putting on such airs when you are merely a new transfer such as myself does often bring the most unwanted of attention."
Archimedes bit down on the needle, stopping it in it's path of back and forth across his lips.
"Discretion is the better part of valor, don't you know."

She listened to him, slightly amused by it all. After all, he was just letting hot air go. What did she care if her name wasn't out and about just yet? It didn't mean shit whether people knew her name or not. They knew her elsewhere in the world, and she didn't give a damn about that as well.
"I don't give two shits if people know my name. Doesn't matter to me. What I know is, if I want to get the hell away from this stupid place they're making me go to, then I better be left the hell alone. And if I'm not, I'll make sure whomever decides to interrupt my 'me' time understands not to damn well do it again without some proper manners due."
Yup. She really didn't give a damn if he even wanted to hear it or not. It was said, it was out in the open. Lina stood, hands flexing as she got to her feet. All the warmth was fleeing from her eyes faster than he should have been running by now.
"Too bad too. You have such a pretty face for a boy. Guess it's your own fault though."
The last little hint she'd be leaving him. If he didn't cough up his name or leave, then it was going to be her fist meets his face, or other parts of his body. She wasn't shy about what she could hurt. There was no honor in the way she fought after all. Lina fought to win, and make sure her foe never got the chance to get back. Ever.
