[Red River Boarding School]

*James smiled back as he walked next to her*

"i understand" he said sweetly "and i understand why you prolly wouldnt trust me, im two years older than you, we just met.. its cool.. only thing that would ever happen, if you wanted to, was a kiss."

She blushed at hearing his comment. honestly... how many times had her cheeks flushed because of him? She really couldn't keep count.

"That's why I asked you that question earlier... what if I wanted to get, so to say.. intimate with you? it'd be quite difficult... uhm, strange to me at least. to be completely honest, I've never met anyone like you before in my life until now." she slowed her pace, embarrassed at what she'd just said.

"oh...well.. um....wow..." he said trying to figure out a response "..i guess i could..." he turned intot a regular human after about a minutes concentration "i dont know why.. you.. uhm... im human.. i guess.."

She took a step back at his tranformation, not sure whether to keep her mouth open, or close it bfore it became too noticable that she was gaping at him.

"Wow... you look, different..." she said, not taking her eyes off of his features. "It's all real right? It's not just some disguise?" She took a few curious steps closer. "Can, can I touch you?" she asked, not sure as to how her question must have sounded to him.

*James looked at his hands, he want covered in fur or anything*

"..it worked.. right?" he asked

"It did." she answered for him, and raised her hand to touch his cheek gently. Almost half believing that he was able to do it. A slight rouge crept upon her cheeks at noticin how soft his skin was.

"You're quite... attractive like this." She said, biting her lower lip unconsciously before running a few fingers through his hair for overall measure.

(what does his human form look like?)

(he looks about the same, just you can actually see his scars and his eye patch shows a bit more, and he looks like any outher guy, his hair his long and kind of shaggy)

*James sighed in relief*

"hmm... i feel different.. thats for sure..." he said

She smiled, still looking at his handsome features, then caught herself and quickly backed away.

"Sorry about that. Here... why don't we just go back, you seemed tired earlier, and for some reason I have many thought i need to arrange before I start doing things I probably shouldn't." she said, rubbing her hand on her neck, slightly confused at what she said.

(Sorry, but I have to go. I'll be on tomorrow ok? Good night. 🙂 )

*James was a bit confused, he didnt know what he looked like. but he just smiled and walked her to ther dorm*

"......"

(g'night)

(Hi again.)

*next day in class*

'How boring...' Michelle thought, glancing up at the class clock, then she looked around the classroom at all the students, noticing she didn't know anyone. She sighed.

*James just woke up, he was laying outside. he hadnt changed back to his half human form, he was staying as his full human form. he had alot of changes, his feeling were different.. his body was different, but he did it for Michelle*

"....."

The bell rings, signaling the end of the class period and she decides to skip a few classes, just to sit outside under her usual tree she read at.

"..."

She takes out her romance book and begins making her way to the tree when she sees James, still in his human form. She smiles.

"Hi James, you didn't go to class today?"

*James looked at her and smiled*

"nope, i dont have to" he said "... what do i look like?" he sounded stupid when he asked, but he had yet to look

She walked over to him and smiled before sitting down next to him.

"You look handsome. You haven't looked yet? here..." she reached to her side and opened her purse, pulling out a square good sized mirror and handed it to him.

*James looked in the mirror and was a bit shocked, he had 2 or 3 scars on his face, his hair was long and shaggy, he didnt look like himself at all, but he still had his patch, and that was all*

"..wow..." he said "well.. this was for you"

She blinked in surprise, still looking at him.

"What do you mean? Haven't you done this before?" She asked, she began biting her lip again...

*James sighed and shook his head no*

"nope, first time, i wasnt sure if i would manage loseing the tail, ears, fur, etc" he said "but.. i did, and it was for you"

"I see..." she smiled to herself, avoiding eye contact and instead staring down at her hands which were folded in her lap. "Well uhm... I appreciate that, really I do." she desperately tried to think of something else to talk about since her cheeks were turning pinker by the second.

*James sighed and looked her in the eye and smiled*

"You dont have to be nervous around me" he said "just be yourself"

She laughed nervously.

"Nervous? I'm not nervous." She tried to explain, fiddeling with the pages of her book. "I am being myself, I just... I dunno."
