"Hey, Jin, can I talk to for a minute?" Julia asked walking farther away.

"Uh, sure, I'll be back in a minute, Rose. So, what's up, Jul?" Jin asked her.

"I'm plotting….against Anna….the witch. What should I do?" Julia asked after he finally understood.

"Well, you shouldn't hurt her bad, and make it look like an accident; don't want Bob III to be angry that you hurt his girl. Maybe ask if you can practice with her and hit her with all your best; say you were going easy on her and that she wasn't really trying. Give that a thought. I gotta get back to my girl," he chuckled. "Good luck; she does need a wake up call." He returned to his girlfriend. "Sorry about that. I'm back, mahaha," Jin laughed. Rose thought it was funny too. He kissed her again. "Well," he noticed Ling Xiaoyu's new look. "Look who's trying to fit in now." Jin laughed again. She was dressed in black, instead of her preppy clothes, and her hair was brushed and down. 'Ooh, hot, I've always liked her, but never her look…until now, I'd better wait a while, a few more weeks,' Jin thought to himself.

"Oh, she looks awesome. We should go compliment her…together." Rose knew Jin liked her new look as well. "Hey, Ling! Nice hair. The black looks better than the yellow and blue and reds you usually wear.

"Yeah, thanks, my dad was kinda tying me down, he likes bright colors and pigtails. Mom only wanted him to be happy so I could never get away with wearing this. But they divorced yesterday. I'm not that sad really. I never really liked my dad much. So, now, I can wear what ever I want." Ling Xiaoyu smiled.

Jin, with his arm around Rose's waist, walked away with Rose following. The bell rings again.

Rose stood still. She appeared to be zoned out. "Rose, Rose, Rose!" He snapped his fingers in front of her face. She showed no emotion. Rose collapsed and Jin caught her. He carried her to the couch in the back of the classroom. Jin didn't know if she was asleep….standing…or she fainted or collapsed from the sun.

Time for the practice. Rose was still out cold. Anna hit fast. Julia flipped her…a few times. She punched, kicked, threw, and pushed. Anna really didn't try.

"Time! Julia wins for today." The teacher had a blank tone.

A voice is heard from the back of the room. "Did my allergies take me down again?" It was Rose. She sounded tired.

Jin rushed back to help her to her feet. 'How will I tell her?' he asked himself 'That's not important now.' "Yeah, you were out," he told her. "You missed the practice. It was Julia and Anna. Julia won."

"Good," she mumbled under her breath. She didn't like Anna either.

'I think I'll just have to tell her that I love her but I think I love Ling more and that I've loved Ling longer. Oh my gosh, what do I do? I'll ask Julia later.' He was quite for a while.

"You alright? You're so quiet today. Something wrong?" Julia asked.

"Tell you later."
