Sophie followed him like a lost puppy. There was no plan in any near future of letting him go, she physically could not! Everything that she was feeling, and wanting to say, was all suppressed behind her neutral face, and tightly gripping fist. Down she went as he seated her. She silently took the shoe from his hand, slipping it onto her foot. It was eerie how quiet she was. Slowly, she turned her face up to his. Her eyes no longer puffy, instead, pretty and blue. Her naturally wavy hair combed over to one side, dangled off her shoulder. Her cheeks were rosey, and her lips a perfectly pink shade, and very plush looking. Such a pretty face. She blinked, fanning her dark, long lashes. And then, it happened. A small, meek, smile grew on her face, lighting it up as she looked to him ever so fondly. Her hand still holding onto him.

James smiled back at the young woman as she looked at him. That was better. Maybe they were starting to get somewhere now. It was a break through! His eyes traveled to her hand that was still attached to his sleeve, but he really could not bring it up to her. Not after she was just now starting to feel better. Now, that's what I wanted to see. James cheered. Oh! He reached into his pocket and withdrew her ribbon. The silky strands felt nice in his fingers and he held it out to her. Here, I thought you might like to have this back, Sophie. It looks nice when you wear it.

And just as it seemed like everything was getting better, her face full of smiles, and her eyes bright, he handed something rather real. Sophie's eyes fell to his hand as it moved over her own hand. She grew still, looking at the silken yellow ribbon in her petite hand. Tears began to drip down her face as her grip tightened on his sleeve. What was she going to do?! Momma and Papa would never stand for this! Maybe this is what she needed for them to put her back into home schooling? Of course the DA wouldn't stand for it, b-but... She began to tremble, choking back on tears as she held all of her anxieties in. After several minutes, a very small voice squeaked, Papa is going to kill me... She looked to him, the tears streaming down her face as she cried silently. I... I can't go h-home with hair like this! Her hair was left at an uneven length, having been chopped off when tied in a braid. She had never felt her hair so short in her entire life!
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

James realized his mess up almost immediately. He should have either held on to the ribbon until the next day or some other time to give it to her. Apparently, her hair was very important to her. He did not understand it. His own hair was kept short and easily manageable. There had been rumors about the girl's family, but he hardly ever listened to them. Something about being really religious or crazy. One of the two. Sophie, nobody is going to kill anybody. James gently corrected, We can get your hair fixed before you go home. It will still be shorter, but at least it will be even. You can even braid it again. He smiled at her, Would it help if I went with you and explained what I saw happen? James was trying to be friendly, trying to help this young woman. He had no idea who she really was or what he might be walking into if her family were crazy. Would he disappear? Would he be kept in the walls? In the freezer? Maybe if he were lucky... the basement. No. It would all be fine! Still, for her to be so afraid of upsetting her father when she had literally done nothing wrong was a bit absurd.
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

Absurd? Ha! They new nothing of absurdity. No. Sophie clung to her hair, which was quiet long as it was, and combed her fingers through it almost obsessively. Her lips trembled as she tried not to blubber all over the place. Shakey hands then began to braid her hair. How shamed she felt, with her hair loose. Had she sinned? Was she now a marked woman? Sophie's hands quickly found themselves holding onto his arm again as she cried. His words cooed softly to her, and after a minute or so, she sniffed. M-my family does not believe in allowing a woman to cut her hair. It is a sign of innocence to have it long, but keeping it tied shows they are unmarked... She looked to him with her pretty face, My father will be so furious with me! Looking away, she thought of his last statement. She bit her lip nervously. Gazing up to him with those doe eyes, she nodded, I-I should have it evened shouldn't I?
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

James listened on as she explained her predicament. Innocence he understood, sure. That one was easy. Unmarked woman? What on earth did that mean? Whatever it was, that's what she wanted to be and certainly did not want to be marked. If you're worried about how it will look, then you probably should. James agreed without commenting on the odder parts of her explanation. He could uncover that later on if he had the time to delve into her strange family dynamics. Still, at the very least it sounded like they cared. I know a stylist that works pretty close to our campus who charges very reasonable rates for trims and the like. You've probably never been to a place like that, but I can show you where it is if you like. James smiled at her and offered her his hand in greeting, I'm James. James Sterling. I don't think we have ever talked before, but we share a couple classes. Poor, nice, naive, innocent James. He had no idea what he was getting into.

Sophie stared at his hand for a moment, before nodding. Her own hand let go of his sleeve, and came up to gently take a grip of his. Her hand was so miniature in comparison! She blushed just slightly. His hand was so warm. S-Sophie Tidbury. She responded. A friend! Is this what a friend was? Were they friends? Was he HER friend? Happiness began to bubble up inside of Sophie, and suddenly, she found herself hugging him. Her arms draped about his neck as she held herself to him. Even her breasts pressed against him just slightly!
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

Okay. This was better. Much better than having her crying on him and telling him how very strange her homelife was. Of course, this was about twenty yards past what he would have taken as an improvement before. James awkwardly returned the enthusiastic hug. He could feel her pressed against him and made a mental note that she was certiainly not as frumpy as she liked to dress. It's nice to meet you, Sophie Tidbury. James offered before slowly moving her away from him, but not so far away that contact was broken. He had noticed her need for it earlier and figured that it would be just as bad now. We still have a class this afternoon, Sophie, but we can go after school and get you taken care of, okay? James offered. It was English class. One of the few they actually shared together. They would be many minutes late, but James was sure that he could swing it without an issue. Being popular and a star athlete made things so much easier sometimes.

She gave him a final squeeze before sliding back down onto her bum. Her hands slipped back down to his sleeve, and she held it tenderly. When he mentioned class, Sophie nodded softly. O-okay, He made movements of getting, and she once again followed. Her hand still holding onto him. They each made a stop by their lockers, which were ironically, side by side. Sophie still jumped when James shut the door of his. She was very shooken up from earlier. And so, she continued after him, holding onto the hem of his shirt now. Once they arrived to class, Mrs. Berbrich looked to them from the chalkboard, Decided to show up did we? Do you know how late you are!
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

James looked up at Mrs. Berbrich and smiled, I'm sorry, ma'am. There was a fight in the halls and I had to make sure that nobody was hurt. He explained, Nobody was physically hurt and everyone should have made it back to class by now. James looked directly at her and his face turned innocent, I will accept any punishment you think I deserve for helping other students, ma'am. Such tactics had worked before and he really was a model student for the most part. There were very few times that he had not done well or what had been expected of him. It just was not in his nature to fail or go too far against the grain of society.
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

Mrs. Berbrich eyed them both. A fight eh? Hmm. Curious. James had a reputation of breaking up fights, and he was almost never late to class, but Sophie. Sophie never really stood out. Sure the young girl had amazing writing skills, and academically she was a good student, but she was mousey and bland. Mrs. Berbrich pursed her lips, narrowing her thin brows as she looked over James. Hmmm... She thought audibly, Well, alright. Quick! To your seats. Open your books to chapter seven. Sophie followed behind James, still holding on the hem of his shirt. Eventually he had to sit down though, leaving her alone. She looked to him with those pained eyes, before making her way to the very far corner of the class room. There she sat, opening her text books. Class continued, and as it did, a close friend named Anthony from the baseball team, leaned in. Hey! What's the deal with you and miss Rapunzel?
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

James turned and watched her make her way to her seat before getting his book out and turning to chapter seven quickly. He caught up to where the class was and relaxed into his chair. He was reading along when Anthony spoke to him. James eyed the teacher for a moment, making sure she was not looking at them and busy elsewhere before he looked at Anthony. I don't know man, she was being picked on and looks like she could use a friend. James made a note on his pad of paper and scribbled down something else from the lesson. Someone shoved her in a locker and cut off a foot of her hair. There must have been twenty people there that could have stopped it, but nobody did. James appeared furious about the travesty, but took a calming breath and continued to write his work down. James looked at Anthony for a moment, I couldn't just leave her there, you know? James looked up in time to catch the teacher giving him the evil eye. He cleared his throat and went back to work, head down and focusing on the lessons they were trying to learn. No sense in upsetting the teacher more than she already was. He did not need a detention or anything like that this weekend. When the class had ended, James stood from his desk and stretched before stuffing his book into his pack as well as his notes and writing materials. He nodded to Anthony who was quick to escape from the room as James held back to let the students filter out. When everyone had left, he glanced back to see Sophie waiting on him. He smiled and walked over to her. Hey, you stayed. James observed, Let's get out of here. It had been an interesting trip to the stylist. Sophie was one that walked to school every day while he drove. She had stayed mostly quiet and kept a form of physical contact with him at most times on the way there. When they arrived, it took him several moments to get her out of the car just outside the building. That was where they were standing now, outside the glass window of the stylist. Luckily it appeared that no one was really there now aside from the woman they were looking for. Shall we? James asked with a smile.

Sophie was still holding onto his sleeve at that point. It took her several steps to keep up with his single step mostly due to their height difference. They were an odd pair, her with her frumpy outfit and short stature, and him being a tall slice of well dressed man-cake. She looked up to him in front of the large glass window. She felt nervous. Her grip tightened. She gave a small nod, Y-yes. And in she followed. The bright lights of the salon scared her just slightly. The smell of floral hair products wafted over them as they entered the girly temple of prayer. Sophie hid behind James, as he made his way up to a woman named Heidi. She was a woman of medium height, and a slightly darker complexion from the amount of times she would use the tanning salon. Her hair was bleach blonde on top, and dark red on the bottom, and curled ever so slightly. She smiled to her favourite customer, Why hello James! Here for a quick trim, are we darlin? She gave him a playful wink. Sophie poked her head out from behind him. So this was a hairstylist.
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

No, not me Heidi. James smiled and stepped to the side. Heidi, meet my friend Sophie. Sophie, this is Heidi. She's kept my hair looking good since I was a small boy. He placed a hand on the small of her back and gently scooted her forward. Sophie had some trouble with her braid today and part of it was shorn off. She just needs a trim to get it evened back out again. He spoke the truth. His mother had brought him here just over eight years ago as Heidi had come very well recommended by a client of theirs and life, to his parents, was all about contacts and making the best out of everyone you knew. It occasionally grated on James how they treated people, but there was no denying it had been successful for them. The young man turned to his newest companion. She seemed scared, frightened by everything and anything in the room. He hoped Heidi would be able to put the poor girl at ease a bit. Is there anything else you would like done, Sophie? Heidi here is a master with scissors.
Thread: Puppy Charming 101 [Isabelle x citizenanon]

Heidi looked to the young woman she was presented with. Her part was right down the middle of the head, but strands of the hair were pulled over, making it looks rather sloppy. But, as she listened to James, and the story of how she had her hair cut off, her heart melted a little. She smiled to her, Its true! I can do whatever you want. Would you like to look at some magazines to see a hairstyle you might like? Heidi used her more gentle voice, one she had used when James had come for his first hair cut. Sophie looked nervously between the two of them. She didn't know what to have done, let alone being there! Her father would surely be angry with her. She began to fumble with her fingers, having nothing else to hold on to. She mumbled a soft yes, and followed Heidi to the seating area. Now, why don't you have a seat and look through some styles while I finish up blowdrying Mrs. Keystone's hair, okay? Sophie looked to James with her big eyes before looking back to Heidi. She nodded, and took a seat. She started with the stack to her left, flipping through them slowly. The styles were all so short! She began to tremble nervously... What would happen if she came home with even shorter hair like a bob or pixie cut? She gulped. They wouldn't do that to her, would they?! Page after page she flipped, until her attention was diverted. Originally she thought it was James who sat next to her, but it wasn't. It was a young girl, about 12 years old. She had a funky style of dressing, and sat rather improperly, holding a manga novel in her hand. It was the girl on the front that caught Sophie's eye. She looked so doll like! Heidi headed towards the till to finish the service with the elderly woman. Sophie bit her lip. She would have to make her choice! And soon! H-hey! She squeeked, the girl looked over to her nonchalantly. Sophie cleared her throat for a moment, C-could I borrow your book for a moment? The girl gave her a funny look before shrugging, Sure! Here, And with that handed it to Sophie. Have you decided on anything? Smiled Heidi as she approached. Sophie stood up from her seat, tucked her hair behind her ear, and held up the illustrative book cover. Could I... have something.. like this? She asked, pointing to the picture.

I apologize, I don't know how to link things the way you do anymore Zachery Brightwood sighed and flipped his long hair out of his face, rubbing the stubble on his face. He was tall, about 6'3 or so, so he had no trouble seeing over the crowds of people in the college town in which he now lived. He was looking for the coffee shop where he was supposed to meet an assistant to the professor who was his father's old friend. All he knew was that her name was Madelyn Cortland, he didn't have a clue what she looked like. As he wondered how he would identify the woman he was supposed to meet he found the coffee shop he was looking for. When he entered he set off an old fashioned tinkling bell. Luckily the place was mostly empty, he only saw one young woman sitting towards the back of the coffee shop. He navigated his way towards her. Excuse me, miss? Are you Madelyn Cortland? he asked.

RE A unexpected courtship Madelyn Cortland shoved her glasses up the bridge of her nose. It was warm in the library for a fall day. She was working on filing some heavy encyclopedias before her 'date'. She groaned, damn the professor. Sure it was an old friend's son, of his. Deciding to force Madelyn into taking on the task of showing the male around, she wasn't even sure what to do or say or hell, even show him. God, she hadn't even been on a real date in years, let alone one of these fake ones. She glared at the clock on the wall ticking away the time. She brushed off the dust from her skirt left by the old tomes. she pulled off her glasses, pulled her hair from it's up do and ran her fingers through it. A white button up and a red cardigan completed her outfit. The skirt dipped below her knees and on her feet comfortable, but ugly, black flats. Maneuvering her smart car through the web of streets she pulled into a spot, thankfully because of the odd hour, 330, the little coffee shop was empty. Taking a seat she ordered a hot raspberry tea with one sugar and sat reading the newspaper, lightweight glasses across her nose helping the words to focus on the page. She sipped her tea, paying no mind to the tinkle of the bell. Her name was said at her side by a deep voice. Turning, blue eyes met green over her frames. She held her cup to her lips. This was her date? Ugh, he looked like he stepped out of his parents basement or rolled out of bed to meet her. She made a slight face and waved her hand at the open booth across from her as she nodded. I am, you must be Zachary Brightwood. She gave him a genuine smile, she had to be nice. The last thing she needed was him reporting back to Thompson that she was rude. So, what brings you to... well, here?

Zach looked down at the young woman as she confirmed his assumption as to her identity. He watched as she assessed him, wrinkling her nose at his scraggly appearance. True he hadn't taken the greatest of care with his hair or shaved this morning, but he was clean if not clean shaven. He himself assessed her appearance in return, taking in the white button up, the cardigan, he figured she was relatively good looking in a studious way, but he wrinkled his nose at the black flats. Zach was no fashion police but sometimes felt a woman's choice of wear could have an influence on his opinion. In the end though, it wasn't a big deal, he just hoped he could get along with her. What brings me here? To a college town? he asked, raising an eyebrow. Classes...specifically I need credits in a certain subject my old college didn't offer in order to move up to the university I want. The Professor heard about this through my uncle and got in contact with me, letting me know I could take all the classes I needed here. his tone wasn't outright rude, but it was a bit challenging. He smiled though and sat down across from her. What made the professor pick you to show me around? His prize student or something? he asked. As he sat there he took in more of her facial features. He wouldn't say so out loud, but he was of the opinion she had a beautiful face, and quite the eyes. He was a sucker for blue eyes really, but never made this known as everyone was of the opinion all men loved blue eyes. He didn't like feeling like he was being labeled so he mostly kept his likes and dislikes to himself. How long have you been in this town? he asked suddenly.

Madelyn fought hard not to roll her eyes at his cocky answer. of course she knew he was there for classes, but the why pertained to THIS campus specifically. Nodding her head she sipped at her drink, understandingly, or at least what she hoped passed for such. He slid in across from her, allowing her to catch gray or rather light blue eyes beneath the fringe of sloppy, shaggy hair. Not that her opinion mattered much, she just preferred to see into the depths of ones soul. Connections, it all made a lot of sense now. The sudden springing of this date on her and the ... She almost spit her tea across the table when he spoke. Silently, she gulped down the mouthful. Eyes watering as she forced herself NOT to choke. Noticing him staring at her, she grew self conscious and began to absently correct her self. Smoothing her hair and brushing delicate fingers over her cheek, all while averting her eyes from his direction. I'm a graduate, I want to become as great a mentor, teacher and intellectual being as Professor Thompson someday. It's a life long goal... if you MUST know. But your comments are flattering while being a bit... overboard. She lifted the cup again. I have been here for... She quickly did the math in her head, had it really been six years? Six years, I was hear for the required four and then the last year and this as an assistant on campus. She gave him a small smile, How long do you plan on gracing us with your presence? I imagine , since you are looking to obtain a degree from a noteworthy university, it will only be a semester or two at the most. I also imagine, you will grow quite bored with our sleepy little town as we are not known for our party like atmosphere, but rather our strong academics. She wasn't intentionally trying to be rude, it just seemed to come off that way.

Zach blinked in confusion she seemed to freeze for a moment. He didn't understand that by asking if she was a prized student he had basically complimented her. He was one of those guys clueless about those sorts of things. He watched as she fixed herself and calmed down. He listened to what she said and only became more confused. He was curious what she meant by that but decided it was a question for another time. He after considering her goals he nodded. Those are good goals, I have only met the professor a handful of times in my youth. I'm fairly sure he hasn't changed much since then. he said, leaning back, he shook his face and brushed the hair out of his eyes, making it so it framed his face better. He raised his eyebrows at her, locking his eyes to hers. Six years? Two years as an assistant? You must have been an admirable student if the professor let you hang around so long. he said, a light smile crossing his lips. He frowned a bit at the wording of her question, but decided to shrug it off. Not sure, depends on how many classes I take each semester. I could be done almost overnight or I could take a year or two to clear all the classes up. he said, he looked at the drink she had and frowned. One moment, I'm going to get myself something to drink. he said, standing up and going to stand in line. He sighed and looked over the list of options they had, pretending to actually consider things before defaulting on hot chocolate.
