Ivan watch the jail roll into view, as he sat on the bus alone while everyone else with a partner, talked.

Going to a jail for a school trip, meeting murders and insane people, fun! Nothing could go wrong here, no siree.

"Isn't it stupid how the only school field trip we get is to jail," a guy in front told his girlfriend.

They boarded off meeting two security men and the warden, who guided them to almost every cell.

The inmates talked about how they got in jail, women, men, family, vengeance, hate, jealousy, etc. Eventually they reached the end of the building.

"And that's the end." The warden announced.

"That's awful quick, we're supposed to be here two more hours." Mr. Rome replied.

"And we didn't even go past that door," a Swedish boy pointed at the door behind the warden.

"That's the asylum entrance. They're too rough and, for some, dangerous. Why not eat lunch and then go around shopping . There's a mall about five blocks away. Its got food and clothes that you kids find cool."

"Well I think we should just head there and then eat." the man nodded at this.

The class happily walked out of the deary building holding gloom and sweat. Past the the gate, a waist tall bushes beside the wall shook, everyone backed away from it, kids hiding behind the teacher, girls hid behind boyfriends or vice versa.

A head popped out, everyone jumped at this but as they closely examined the face they sighed a relief. Ivan smiled watching his old friend with shining eyes now a dull color, ebony hair with white strands circled his face, casual clothes with a white jacket complete with white socks and no shoes.

He didn't mean to have abandoned Yao, he just freaked out. He didn't know how to react no ones ever told him before and he would have consulted his friends except his friends were friend and friend was the one that confessed.

Next person on the list, parents "Ahh, how cute." His mom cooed, "accept it and go out of here." dad gruffed, that was before they found out it was a guy afterwards it became "Disgusting." and "No son of mine will accept a homo's confession." Time passed before he caught his best friend being bullied, names throw yet Yao didn;t fight back. Instead of helping, he watched, strings of his heart being tugged, hurting him.

At home, he decided to consult his sisters "Ohhh, Little Brother is in love." his oldest sister squealed. "Brother! How could you!" was Natalia's reaction.

After a conversation like that, only confusion swirled, nights of sleeplessness wore on, but he hit a conclusion. The next day he ran to school excited to return the feelings but no site of Yao was seen. News of his disappear became known but the reasons weren't.

Now he could confess years later. Yao popped a strawberry from his basket into his mouth, quietly watching them.

"Hi, Yao," the boy turned to him. "I need to talk to you."

Ivan grabbed his hand, earning a shriek and a scream, "Help! Let go!"

He let go but not before Alfred in a full body bind walked onto the trouble. Alfred charged body slamming him onto the ground, squirming and successfully breaking the coat.

The one-sided advantage became matches, Ivan's shock wore off and a full match of punches began. Kids screamed backing away, the teacher holding them as one kid ran into the jail. The warden and the men came out pulling both off each other, Ivan had a purple eye and Alfred only a cut on his lip.

The men let go of Alfred, the class took a further step back as the stranger was also let go. The two adults talked, students asking Ivan if he was alright. He told them he was, watching the scene above them(its great being tall).

"You always save me when I need you." Yao hugged him tightly, the blond smiled, a strawberry popped into his mouth. The adults finished talking, the Warden walked up to Yao.

"Yao, I always tell you to stay inside."

"I'm sorry."

"Alfred...you two get back in."

"You're not going to punish them?" Mr. Rome questioned.

" No, if I do Yao won't leave Alfred til midnight and Alfred would keep shaking the doors to be near Yao. "

The warden followed after, the men trailing yet Ivan continued his staring . Yao's hand intertwined with Alfred, pulling him along excitedly, berries of the basket jumping but none falling.

The class turned to start its five block walk, Ivan's head has cool but heart strings stung.
