Another set of choices?  All right.  Joy nibbled her lower lip as she regarded the list.  What was the right choice?  Was there a right choice?  She sighed and then moved the cursor, "I like athletic guys but they can be real jerks, especially when their teens.  School fence line sounds like a delinquent meet up.  So...you know, I like nerds too.  And they tend to really appreciate it when they get it, so..."<br/><br/>She selected<tt class="bbc_tt">STUDENT COUNCIL BUILDING</tt>and then found herself walking towards a small structure that was smartly decorated.  She opened a double door and headed inside, her skirt swishing faintly as she moved.  It was quiet here.  In the school proper, there would be the sound of people talking, whether in the hallway or the muffled sounds of classes happening in the classrooms.  It was peaceful.  Though it would be a little creepy at night.  Her step quickened as she came to the room of a door and pushed it open.  A blond teenage boy looked up from a large desk and he smiled, "Ahh, hey, there you are, Joy-chan.  You're cute as always."  Underneath him, text appeared that read<tt class="bbc_tt">AKIBA SEN (https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/xt9XAVe5cvhmXD10cURaWFi7cFn7vddtGKfADNAJlAg/https/img3.gelbooru.com//images/83/7d/837d7d928c29f9ac5f018f031b712894.jpg?width=835&amp;height=592)</tt>.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">"Thanks, Sen-kun." </tt>Joy's lips moved and her voice came out but she hadn't chosen the words.  Damn it!  More of that automatic speech.<tt class="bbc_tt">"I'm sorry if I interrupted but...I really wanted to see you."</tt><br/><br/>He smiled and got up form the desk, coming around to stand in front of her.  He reached out and took her hands in his.  "That makes me happy."  Then he tilted his head to one side.  "Are you all right, Joy-chan?  You look like you're uncomfortable."<br/><br/>She blushed.<tt class="bbc_tt">"I do feel a little...warm today.  And with everything that's going on..."</tt><br/><br/>His eyes were bright.  "I see.  If it would help, you know, we could leave school for the rest of the day.  I would go with you."<br/><br/>Another set of prompts appeared over him.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">&gt; SKIP SCHOOL<br/>&gt; STAY AT SCHOOL</tt><br/><br/>Joy was a little surprised he was offering to help her skip.  Wasn't he on the Student Council?  That name, though.  She'd heard it before.  Wasn't he one of the missing people?  Yeah!  He was an odd guy.  A few years older than her at 25 and he was kind of like a combination handyman and private eye.  He'd been hired to look into the disappearances before he vanished himself.  And now he was here at school with her.  And was her boyfriend, apparently.<br/><br/>But what do to now?  She was tempted to go with him.  But at the same time...Aika was here at school.  Since she was a teacher, she didn't know if she'd be able to talk to her.  Or if she could talk to her or if it would just be canned speech.  But she had to try.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">&gt; STAY AT SCHOOL</tt><br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">"I'd like to go with you, but I really should stay.  I can't let my grades slip and I don't want to risk getting you in trouble, Sen-kun."</tt>She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.<tt class="bbc_tt">"But after school, I'll find you, okay?"</tt>
