James was impressed.  She didn't look away from him, even when backed into a corner.  Plus, the compliment was nice.  A little unnecessary, though.  Obviously he was more fun to hang out with.  He knew where stuff was, when stuff happened.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh, y'know.  You learn a lot of peoples' schedules when you <em>have</em> to.  Being out late without a Ghost Badge, you learn to avoid who you need to avoid, and you learn some handy shortcuts.  I could show you one sometime, if you'd like."</strong>A smirk danced across James' lips.  Yes, he had just invited a girl he had just met to a secluded area of school, but hey.  This was the new and improved James.  The confident James.<br/><br/><strong>"What's your first class?  If we have it together, I could show you that shortcut right away."</strong>That damned smirk would not go away.
