JAKES thoughts
What just happened? Why is she so easy to get upset? Wait, was she upset when she left? Of course, she was speaking politely and she even called me Mr. Reed. But why? Didn't we agree that she should treat me as a friend? I was asking her questions in order to get to know her, not for any other reason. Did she back away because I am her teacher? No, she is aware that I am only a few years older than her and that I only have a couple more weeks as a Teacher in training so then why leave abruptly? Thinking about it, when she first arrived, she was nervous or more worried. The first thing she asked was how I found out it was her. Why would it matter if people know she is a great cosplayer and why was she sad when I asked about her cosplaying as a female character?

"Excuse me Ms.", he called to a young waitress passing by. "Yes sir?" "Do you mind answering a few questions?" Smiling, not minding at all that such a handsome young man was calling out to her. "Sure, I have a few minutes since we happen to be slow." "Great!" "Have you been living in this town a long time and do you cosplay?" "Yes to both questions. Are you a big fan of cosplaying?" "I recently became one and just moved to this town. I was curious if there are any people who are really good at cosplaying here?" "Hmm, not really, well there is this one person, no one knows who he is though. He shows up to all the Cosplaying Events...", "Wait if no one knows who he is then how do you know he shows up to all the Cosplaying events?" Laughing a little, "Well, didn't you ask if there was anyone good at cosplaying in our town? There is, but he is not only good he is gorgeous. It is soo easy to tell who he is, it is like he IS the character come to life." She begins to squeal at remembering him at the last cosplaying event. "Oh, I even heard that he recently went to an event outside of town and ran into his counterpart, oh how I wish I could have seen him as Ciel and his loyal butler Sebastian." "You see, some of my friends' friends' went to the event and told me all about Ciel actually being shy for the very first time, running away from Sebastian." "I wonder though why he would dress up as Ciel? He usually dresses up as the cool guy or shining prince of the animes. Well, anyways he will probably be at tonight's event. If you are needing any help with your outfit or your character he is the one to ask." "Ok, thanks. Oh, one last question." "Sure, what is it?" "Was there ever a female cosplayer who was just as outstanding as him?" "Hmm, now that I think about it. There was this girl who was absolutely beautiful, but she only appeared once a few years ago. She probably was visiting from another town." "Thank you for all your information, I appreciate it Ms." "No problem," she said smiling as she said bye.

Hmm, a beauty who only appeared once...'Yes, once, but female characters are either too much work or barely have any clothes, he recalls and begins to ponder on what Emma said. If it was her and she turned out beautiful, then why stop? Did someone harass her? She also got defensive when I asked about her parents. Lonely. Wait the last thing I mentioned to her was that she is like two different people. Could she probably be lonely and use cosplaying as a means to express herself?
Wanting to know more about her, he recalled the waitress saying 'he' would go tonight, but will she really go tonight? It's Saturday, so I can't ask her friends if they are going and what they are going as... 'he is not only good he is gorgeous. It is soo easy to tell who he is, it is like he IS the character who comes to life, that's it! I just have to go dressed mediocre so he, I mean she won't be able to spot me, but I will be able to spot him and hopefully get a chance to speak with him or just see how he acts in character.
With that last thought, Jake went home and asked his friend Gaston to help him out with a not-so-fancy outfit for tonights Cosplaying Event.
