Jezz had heard footsteps and a cough. She quickly sobered up and her head nearly snapped her neck with the speed she turned it at when she heard her last name.
Immediatly scowling when the words came out of his mouth her lips pursed. He had interrupted her for this? She wasn't even going to ask how the hell he knew her name.
"Go away" she muttered turning back to the garden, lifting her knees up and laying her arms over them.

Renji sighed, creeping up beside Jezz.
"Gomenasai, Jezz-san. I didn't mean it. I'm just a bit...I don't know. I guess I was jealous. It's not something I'm used to feeling. Don't be mad, k?" The boy sqatted beside Jezz on the grass, looking out at the sunset instead of her.
"And I'm sorry for the lesbian comment too. I was only joking. I didn't know you'd take it so seriously. I mean, I didn't get mad when you called me weak."
Still without turning to face her completely, Renji removed the sketchbook from the crook of his arm, presenting it to Jezz.
"You dropped something. I thought you might like it back."

Jezz felt confusion fill her as he admitted to being jealous, though she hadn't the idea why he would be jealous. He squatted beside her and she still refused to turn her face to him. If he thought a simple sorry was going to do....
She was surprised when he also apologized for the lesbian comment....and he was right he didn't fight her when she had called him weak.....he was slightly winning her over....
She turned her head at the book. Her eyes widened slightly and she quickly snatched it from his hands, went to open it but then thought better of it.
"You didn't look in it did you?" she asked quickly and kind of harshly....just very protective of her book

"It would really be a step backward to lie, now wouldn't it. So I'll be honest and tell you I skimmed through it." He bit his lower lip as he turned to face Jezz.
"I mostly just wanted to know who it belongs to. I couldn't find out without looking inside, now could I? But I wasn't studying it or anything, if that makes you feel any better." He made no mention of the fake tatoo he had stuck between the pages. He'd rather she stumble across that on her own. He'd signed his name across the back with a quick doodle of a kitty.

Jezz, instead of looking angry, looked kind of scared. She hadn't let anyone know about her little butterfly thing. She hoped he only saw the first page and saw her signature then closed it....she really hoped he didn't look in the back.
"W-well kind of..." she murmured
She lay the book against her knees so the pages were all facing her and she opened the book. Her sketch with the uniform was left untouched. She sighed at that. She turned to the back and froze. Out slide a small package, paper thin. It landed in her lap upsidedown and she saw the signature and a kitty.
She picked up the package and turned it over. She oculd have sworn her heart stopped. Butterfly tattoos....She looked at the page of her butterfly drawings....unharmed....but how...her frown wrinkled forehead rose and her eyes looked from him back to the tattoos in her hand and back at him then back at the tattoos as if trying to figure it out, but her mind wouldn't let her.

Renji watched Jezz from the corner of his eye, though he kept his face foraward, as though he were engrossed by the emerging stars. A cool breeze kicked up, stirring the hair around the teenagers' faces, and whipping the skirt around Renji's legs. He rose to a standing position, tucking some hair behind his ear. His eyes did drift to the darkening sky then.
"Are you still mad?"

Jezz followed Renji's gaze to the stars coming out. She turned her head when he stood. She blinked not quite fully registering what he had said. Mad? Why would she be....oh
"Uh....no, I'm not mad..." she looked down at the package of tattoos and her thumb went down the plastic covering looking at the different designs of buterflys. She knew the tattoos were not exactly expensive, but the gesture was just so....sweet. No one had gotten anything just for her that she had actually liked....hell no one paid attention period to what she did and didn't like.

Renji smiled, shallow dimples coming into view as he continued to look at the stars.
"Good. I'm glad. I know I can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. But I never mean to hurt feelings...well, almost never. I didn't with you. And I hate it when people are mad at me, contrary to popular opinion."
He shrugged, then folded his hands behind his neck, leaning back on his heels. Finally he looked over at Jezz. He extened a hand to her.
"Friends?"

Jezz blinked and looked up when the hand was offered to her. She smiled and took his hand and yanked him down so he fell on the grass next to the garden. She looked down from her stone seat and smiled sweetly
"Friends"
She put her feet up on him and gave him a look of pure innocence
"You know your a complete and utter Jerk" she said at him with a pout on her lip

Julian gasped, she quickly dropped the cigarette that had burned her fingers. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She had drifted off. The stars twinkled at her brightly. Ugh.. she thought. I can't believe I fell asleep down here! She carefully got to her feet and brushed herself off, casting nervous glances about to see if anyone had noticed. She tied her hair back and adjusted her bag before stepping into the hall.

Renji grinned up at her, running a hand through his dark, shoulder length hair.
"Hai, I've been told that once or twice. I'm sure Cyn-kun would agree with you the most." He chuckled. "You know, my mom used to say if more than one person tells you, it must be true. If I'm not mistaken, you make peson number three, Juaranos-san." He held up three fingers to emphasize the point.

"You don't even know why I'm calling you a jerk" she nudge him with the toe of her boot and stuck her tongue out at him and turned her head deliberatly looking at the sky and away from him.
The reason was that he was a jerk because she was sposed to stay mad at him and here he was figuring out what she liked and buying her sentimental presents

Renji's eyes lit up with a mischievious light as his hand tightened around Jezz's ankle, and he yanked her down into the grass beside him. He giggled as she yelped on the way down, but resisted the urge to point out the high pitched sound.
"Ok, ok...why am I a jerk this time?" he asked, draping an arm over the girl's shoulder.

Jezz did in fact yelp as she suddenly found herself falling through the air and towards the ground. She grumbled and rubbed her butt as he draped his arm around her. She elbowed him softly in the side.
"Because your an a**. No one finds out anything about me. And you found out something and bought me something that went with it." She didn't include any information about never recieving gifts from anyone but family, and the fact that not even her family bothered to find out what she liked.
She looked up through the strands of hair at him and pursed her lips "That is why, Benji, that your a jerk"

Renji wrinkled his nose at the nickname.
"Benji...isn't that the name of some American movie dog?" He shook his head with a bemused cuckle. "Where the hell do you get this stuff, Jezzabella." He smiled warmly.
"So...you wanna apply one of those tattoos? I wanna see how it looks on you."
