As Crash began to, vaguely, tell her about the years they’d missed the first emotion she felt was concern. Then… Shock. Kathy felt her heart drop with his words. [i]‘Little Feather was travelling with him? But he wouldn’t even let me visit him when I…’[/i] Staring ahead, and doing her best not to let her expression waver, she tried not to think about such things. Well… In the end she couldn’t keep up the smile she usually had on her face, but at the very least she prevented herself from looking terribly disappointed. [color=crimson]“A-Ah… I see. So was it just you and Little Feather travelling together?”[/color] She asked, and regretted the question the very instant she finished her sentence. Actually, she was scared of learning more. She didn’t want to know if something happened between the two of them and…

[color=crimson]“Huh?”[/color] Kathy turned to look at him in surprise. [color=crimson]“You did?”[/color] It was strange. She had checked her phone multiple times a day to see if he contacted her again but she was certain that she hadn’t received any texts from him after- [i]‘Wait… Could it be?’[/i] Looking away again she began, [color=crimson]“I… Hadn’t received any texts from you ever since I changed my number. Um… Could it be that you never got the text I sent with my new number?”[/color] She certainly hoped so. For the longest time she had wondered if something terrible had happened to the shapeshifter, or if he no longer wanted to stay in touch with her.

Just when she had thought that Crash had managed to avoid any further accidents, he miraculously managed to fall into another. Literally. [i]‘It’s kind of amazing, in a sense.’[/i] She thought as she watched him fiddle with the chair. [color=crimson]“Careful… Otherwise I may have to drag you back to the infirmary again.”[/color] She smiled at him as she tried to comment in a joking manner. Her first reaction would’ve been to just ask if he was alright but… Judging from all the blood rushing into his face she figured it was better to make light of things instead of showing concern.

[color=crimson]“Hm? A surprise?”[/color] Kathy’s ears perked up at a portion of Oliver’s introductions. Having signed up for computer classes she was very curious to know what the ghost had in mind. The smile on her face widened as Ryuu stepped up. He didn’t really look like a teacher, but she felt that his classes would probably be really interesting to attend. Hopefully in a good way. As the other introductions went underway, her attention began to drift. She didn’t recognize the others and having to listen to so many of them in such quick successions she gave up trying to remember them all.

She clapped along with the other students at the announcement of another party. Her enthusiasm to celebrate slipped slightly when she saw Criston fall… [i]‘Is he alright?’[/i] She wondered, though there was no way for her to really know since he disappeared almost an instant later. [i]‘A lot of people seem to be tripping and falling today… I better be careful as well.’[/i]

With all the announcements done, most people were chattering excited and moving out of the assembly hall. Kathy was not in a hurry to leave though. Remaining in her seat, she tried to peek out at the shapeshifter beside her from the corner of her eyes. Then she looked down at herself and frowned at the clothes she had picked out… Just her usual jeans and a plain white t-shirt. [i]‘Ah… I really want to change before going but…’[/i] Turning to look at Crash again, she felt her cheeks begin to glow red as she began, [color=crimson]“Um… Crash? Since there is a party after all… Do you want to maybe…”[/color] Her voice kept getting quieter and quieter as her face turned bright red. She began to rub the back of her neck in a very Crash-like fashion as she looked back down at her shoes. Gathering up her courage, she raised her voice back to normal volume and continued, [color=crimson]“Can we go to the party together? Er, if you don’t mind I kind of want some time to change and get ready first so… If you’re not in a rush then I was hoping we could go… Together..? O-only if you don't mind of course!”[/color]
