*Lilith shook her head lightly.* "When it comes to being weird, I believe I'm the one that wins the prize. You're just amusing."

'Suit yourself,' Chance shrugged. 'Normalcy is relative anyway.'

*Lilith shrugged lightly.* "I suppose so... But I don't think anyone in this school fits any definition of normal in any way..."

Chance openedhis mouth to say something, then quickly closed it. 'True,' he nodded. 'Very true. But who wants to be normal? It's pretty boring.'

*Lilith nodded slowly.* "Agreed. Although if someone out there actually considered us normal we might not be feared and hated so much..."

'True, I suppose,' Chance said, nodding. 'But I never have had a problem with what other people think of me anyway, so I guess I don't care who hates me.'

"You're lucky then..." *Lilith leaned back against the bench, a little more relaxed.* "But then again, it doesn't seem like people have much reason to hate you."

'They don't have any reason to hate you either,' the comment came out a little more sharply than Chance had intended. 'I mean, as far as I know, you keep to yourself and leave everyone alone. I didn't even know who you were before tonight, and that's saying something. People just don't like what they don't understand,' he shrugged slightly. 'And they think it's easier to not-like you than to try to get to know you. Or at least that's how I see it.'

*Lilith stared blankly ahead of her as she thought about it.* "I don't mean to stay away from people all the time... But you have to understand... With my rather... creepy mutations... and my nocturnal habits, it's hard to find people that would stay around me long even if they did get to know me. And that's ok I suppose... If they stay away then nobody gets hurt..." *She turned her head away slightly, knowing that it wasn't ok. It was lonely. But she was trying not to sound so childish by complaining... She had already complained enough.*

Chance frowned slightly, and chewed on his lip. 'I didn't mean to say that it's your fault people think you're creepy, if you insist on using that word. I just meant to say that you haven't done anything to hurt anyone, so far as I know, and no one has any reason to have anything against you. Besides, no one deserves to be lonely....'

*Lilith turned her head to look at Chance again, a little surprised at that. But she couldn't help but decide that he was wrong about one thing... She had hurt someone. And she could still hurt other people. She was dangerous. And she wondered if that was enough to make her deserve to be alone. Her family thought it was. She wondered what Chance thought...* "What about... someone who's dangerous... uncontrollable at times...? Does he or she deserve to be lonely?"

'Umm.....no, not really,' Chance shrugged. 'Sooner or later isolation just makes things worse, I guess. 'Cause then the person who's being kept away from humanity just gets bitter and more dangerous. Then they start wanting to hurt people. To try to get back at them, or something. Besides, without other people's help then that person can never try to make whatever it is that they have a problem with better. Trust me, I've tried. It doesn't work,' he said, shaking his head.

*Lilith just stared at him for a moment, amazed.* "I suppose... I've never thought of it that way..." *A smile slowly came to her lips. She was starting to like this guy. He had a way of thinking that was so different from the others. She turned her head away a little, her voice soft as she spoke more to herself than to him.* "I never meant to hurt anyone..."

Chance shifted uncomfortably and loked from the ground to Lilith and back again. For the moment he was rather speechless. She didn't want to talk about it, that was obvious, or maybe she did, who knew? She's probably sending one of those silent signals that chicks send when they want to talk about something but act like they don't....... he thought. Maybe I should just play dumb and act like I didn't hear or something. But that would be rude. Arg! 'I'd ask you what in the world could have happened to make you think that you're such an awful person, but I'm not too sure how well that'd go over.....' Chance said, feeling rather awkward.

"Ask and find out." *Lilith looked at him and smiled a little.* "You're not like the others... If anyone else asked, I'd ignore them or walk away. But with you... I'm not so sure..."
