A stroll around the grounds.

[Jyo]

Wow I've been here for a decent amount of time and the only fights I have gotten into are tests of skill. Well not against my first scuffle with Ken. He thought rather glad that for the most part he had been able to relax since arriving. Whatever gangs that attended this school didn't seem very active. but Jyo had met the pillars and wasn't surprised. Many people wouldn't be able to take them down.

Jyo stopped in the courtyard near the edge of it. He took a moment to watch the students there. Unlike at #499 where everyone seemed to be terrified unless they were capable fighters. This place seemed more relaxed and less terror driven. But the atmoshpere of this place still gave off the signal that this place could be highly dangerous.
Odd how things can be so different from one place to another. I'm even left alone a decent amount of times. Back home I was constantly being bothered. He thought straitening out his suit a bit as the jacket had started sliding off his shoulder. He briefly considered wearing it in another fashion besides loose but quickly dismissed it as he lowered his shades to once more look at the milling students of the school. He wondered if most of them knew what Asiv had been planning lately.

[Bella]

"Caught You!" Bella giggled from behind.

Bella had been walking through the courtyard on the search to do something. She was bored frankly and she wanted to do 'something' and hadn't seen Jyo all day. She hoped that she hadn't messed up really bad on their last date but she could only find out when she saw him. Course being in seperate grades didn't help she had completely different classes than he did. She smiled up at him dressed rather cutely as she always did.

Blue jeans of a light color. A soft pink button down shirt long sleeve and with a colar. She also had on a white cordory jacket on her small torso that flared out til her hip. Her hair hung down around her body as she looked up at Jyo. She smiled happily.

"How are you? I haven't seen you in a while.. since our date. Things.. okay?" she asked softly as she looked down at her nervous hands wringing each other in front of her. The strap on her shoulder leading down to her messenger bag on her hip.

[Jyo]

At hearing the words "Caught You!" Jyo whirled around jumping back ready for battle out of basic reflex to loud noises catching him off-guard particularaly when it is yelled out from behind him.

But as soon as he saw it was Bella he smiled with a slight bit of embarassment.
"Oh hey there. Sorry about that. I wasn't expecting that. Sorry I've been gone for a while too. A few things came up and I didn't get a chance totell anyone and had to go out of town." He said smiling as he walked over giving her a hug.
"Glad to see you again right as I got back. If anything I had planned to at least drop by your place or give a call after school." He said letting her go and looking down at her.

[Bella]

"So you were out of town?" she asked looking up at him. "It wasn't that I did anything wrong?" she asked.

But soon he came over to her and gave her a hug. She smiled softly and hugged him back gently nuzzling into his chest gently. It was nice to feel his arms around her again. She hoped they could still be close like they had been before he had left because she honestly did like Jyo and she liked Lene too. He backed up from the hug and she blushed as she gently slid her hand into his to see if it was still okay and to see if he still liked her.

"I thought maybe you didn't like me.. as a girlfriend anymore." she said softly as she looked at the ground in her nerves.

[Jyo]

Jyo looked away for a second then back at Bella.
"Bella I'm going to be honest. I already care about you alot and I very much enjoy spending time with you. But I don't think I am ready for a relationship. Not with anyone really." He said keeping his arms around her. He gave a soft smile.
"Though I can honestly say if I planned to be with anyone right now it would have to be you. But I just don't know If I could really make anyone happy by being with me for a length of time." He siad. He hoped the meaning was clear. He never wanted to give the let's be friends speech. But he really didn't know what he would do in a relationship.

[Bella]

Her heart fell. She looked down at the ground and nodded. She had thought that maybe they had something. She sure felt like they had and now... well now it was nothing apparently. She bit her lower lip for a moment as he finished laying down the bomb so to speak on her. She must have done something wrong. Because that first night when they sat in that tree he had kissed her with passion calling her his girlfriend and now.. now she was getting an altered version of 'lets be friends.'

She put her hand on her bag strap and stepped out of his arms. She turned and took two steps away from him. She needed time.

"Then, I suppose I will see you around. I'm sorry. What ever it was I did. Forgive me, I thought.. we had something good. Good bye, Jyo. I'll see you around." she said.

Hiding her tears she left. Left to head back in the school no longer hungry and no longer wanting to eat. She wanted to go home and maybe in the end that was what she would do. Go home. Though they had only been on two dates it still wasn't easy to be turned down like that. He didn't even seem to show that it hurt him at all. She walked to school and went into the building to leave Jyo to his thoughts. You couldn't go from girlfriend to friend in moments it took a bit of time.

[Jyo]

Before she could leave Jyo put his hand on her shoulder. It was a form grip but not something she couldn't get out of if she wanted.
"Bella I meant what I said If it would be anyone it would be you. I don;t know how long it will be until I could be the right person for a relationship. But if you care as much as you seem to couldn't I just have a little time to think things through and get things together. I'd like you to be a part of my life after all." He said giving a small smile and then took his hand away.
