[Here's the thing: Lena is nice to people who show her kindness, because she hasn't had much of it in her life outside her own family. Sure, she makes missteps --she's a self-proclaimed emo Caster girl, so she knows she's got attitude and can be a total downer-- but she really does have a good heart.
When people are jerks to her, sometimes she's a jerk back. It's juvenile, but it's better than setting their final exams on fire like that girl who talked shit on her dead uncle. This is just a girl Lena's never seen before, and she's hurt. Lena knows she really can't help now, but she wishes she could. She doesn't even get the knee-jerk reaction anymore to be wary of blonde girls like they're about to bully her for existing.]
I'll keep an eye out for those.
[She turns slightly as the girl goes to get around her.]
Are you new?
[Because if an event did this, Lena wants to know, but she can understand if a newbie was beaten up by something strange and doesn't want to talk about it because who would believe her?]
