He went to reach out and grab Keiko's arm to pull her away from the group with some half-thought excuse to discuss this with her, but he was once again stopped by that jerk Kasuka. "Tristan that isn't a manly thing to do! Keiko is her own leader she can do whatever she wants! Your not the boss of her! Shes not your toy! And why are you giving her rules. She doesn't need dating tips! Shes fine the way she is. She already has a bunch of guys hitting on her!" Tristan sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Kasuka," he started, trying to think of a proper comeback. A fight wasn't something he was looking for this early in the morning, "honestly, do you even have any idea what you're talking about? Ever? Or do you just go around running your mouth without thinking and just hope something semi-intelligent comes out? It's not working. You're wasting my time now, so shoo fly." He gave a slight wave of his hand, glaring at Kasuka with a smirk on his face. "Oh, and Keiko came to me, by the way."
As he heard the sound of his sister's voice, Tristan glanced away from Kasuka and smiled when Aki suddenly pushed her way to the front of them all, standing front and center and taking his full attention. Typical, but he loved it. "Hey, Aki, how are you doing today?" he asked, voice instantly softer as he gave her a hug. When Keiko asked her question, Tristan laughed and stepped around Aki and Kasuka, grabbing Keiko's arm and pulling her lightly along with him. "Come now, we have things to discuss, dear student!" He gave Kasuka a glare. "See you around, loser," then to Aki with a grin, "Bye, Aki! I'll see you at home, okay?"

By the time she had turned around to face Tristan, he had grabbed her arm and was pulling her along with him. "Come now, we have things to discuss, dear student!" She nodded, then replied with a "Right!" She was so enthused that she didn't notice him glaring at Kasuka and bidding his sister farewell. I wonder what we'll be talking about today~! Keiko thought to herself with a grin.

"im skipping the rest of the day" she muttered and felt like crap all the sudden. things would change when Keiko got a man...she wouldnt be as important or needed....she didnt like the idea and she didnt trust Tristan. She saw Kasuka talking, angrily to himself and smiled.
"Keep that up and people will think your crazy" she said to him.

" I'm sorry Ryu I just am really mad right now." He Looked back to his feet. Expecting Ryu to leave because she would think he was crazy.

Oh. Wait. No, that's not what I meant, Tristan thought to himself, shaking his head. "So, Keiko, I wanna know what you think about the guys you talk to. Who do you like? Who do you think you like? And why do you like them?" He grinned and sat down on the bench, motioning for her to join him as he leaned back and awaited her answer. He was kind of opting for her to say something about Hayato, but he didn't really care. He could work with anyone so long as it wasn't that prick Kasuka.

Then her mind drifted to the subject of the other two. "Well, both Hayato-kun and Gackuto-kun are really nice. Hayato-kun seems to skip a lot of classes, though, and Gackuto-kun hasn't really talked to me in a while. I wonder what I did," she thought aloud, before snapping back to the real world. "Um, I think that's it," she said, before turning back to Tristan. "So, what do you think I should do, Coach?" Her smile reappeared as she waited for his answer.

Tristan sighed and ran a hand through his hair before looking at Keiko helplessly. "You really don't like making these things easy, do you?" he said with a short laugh. "Anyway, despite popular opinion, one of the best people to date is your friends. Besides, not like you actually know anyone else anyway." He realized he was telling her something that contradicted his own style, but that was besides the point. He leaned a little closer to think while he explained. "A friend's someone who you know you can trust with your heart. If things get sketchy and you two break it off, if they're really your friend, then you'll still be friends in the end." He frowned for a moment, then forced a smile as he redirected his attention back to Keiko. "Got it? So you gotta pick someone special. Got anyone in mind?"

Ryu stared at Kasuka for a moment thinking he had said that to her. she didnt know why but she felt like she had been punched in the gut and her eyes watered. Then he finished his sentence and she felt relief rush through her.
Ryu sat down next to Kasuka and patted his shoulder with a sad smile.
"he's just jealous. dont worry about it." she said for some reason sill feeling exremely sad.
"Hey...im...gonna go...i dont feel well...will you tell Keiko im going home? thanks" she said and stood quickly before walking away. She pulled out her cell and dialed her home number before checking out of the school and starting towards home.

Keiko turned to Tristan. "Maybe Hayato-kun or Gackuto-kun? I'm sure I can count on them!" she chirped. "Do you think that they'll work out?"

If Keiko wanted to walk home with him he could probably talk to her and show her hes a good guy.

"ow" she said as she sat on the ground in the sun for a moment.

"That's--" he was cut-off as Kasuka walked up and talked to Keiko who, just as bubbly as ever, replied. Tristan rolled his eyes, but studied Keiko's reaction after Kasuka had walked away. No different, it seemed, except for her worry over her friend Ryu. He reached over and patted her on the head. "I'm sure she's fine," he said honestly, giving her a smile. "But maybe you should check on her after school." He paused, retracting his hand and pouting. "Though I absolutely forbid you to walk home with Kasuka. He'll totally ruin everything we've been working on." He grinned at her again. "Besides, you're my gal, so he can stay out of it, right? Now! I say we try for Gackuto... No particular reason. What's his favorite scent?" A weird question, sure, but legit nonetheless.

Then he asked for Gackuto's favorite scent, and her mind went blank. "Favorite scent?" Keiko repeated, blinking. "Um..." What did his favorite scent have anything to do with her trying to find a boyfriend? Such a strange question, Keiko noted. "Well, I'm sure he likes sweets, so maybe something sweet-smelling?" she suggested. Other than that, she had no clue. She didn't usually go up to people and ask for what smells they liked....
