Fine, but if you guys don't like it, I'm blaming you 
Chapter 5Jonathan strolled into the campuses grounds; his mind was processing everything that had happened today. Nothing seemed to go right, yet, he didn’t mind. As he neared the faculty parking lot, a strange feeling that someone was watching him grew in his stomach. He spun around, knocking Mr. Jeffries to the ground, sending his books flying.
“What do you want Mr. Jeffries? Come to intrude on me after class as well?”
“No sir Dr. Crane, sir. I hate intruding on people, that’s kind of my motto, don’t annoy the teachers and you’ll do fine.” said Mr. Jeffries as he picked up his photography book and shoved it into in bag. “I just-
“Is that how you see me Mr. Jeffries, a simple mind teacher that is swaded with bias over the fact that you keep lips zipped throughout class? Clearly you not have a broad mind and I suggest that you transfer out of my class immediately or you’ll be severely disappointed. With that-” Jonathan was interrupted by a sweet yet stern voice.
“Dr. Crane, I think that Mr. Jeffries has gotten enough lecturing for today. How about letting him go and giving him 24 hours to think of something clever to say in response.”
It was Rose, she looked much different than before, her dark red hair was loose from her bun and her red and black stripped tie was loosened. Her hand was place along her hip and so was a camera. Her mysterious smile took Jonathan’s attention away from the insect that Mr. Jeffries.
“Thank you Professor Ackland, see ya’ next class.” sputter Mr. Jeffries
“Your welcome Samuel, now please go, Dr. Crane and I need to talk.”
“Ok, bye” Samuel said as he scampered off
“Dr. Crane I was observing the grounds and saw you harassing one of my students”
“Well, he is also a student of mine and by the way he was acting, he needed to a good lecture, the way he disrespectfully walked into me.”
“Well, I don’t think it was the proper way to speak to a student. But then again, by the day I’m judging you had, you need to get a sign that says ‘don’t mess with me or I melt your brain with my intellectual powers.’” laughed Rose
“Intellect, yes, powers no.”
“Powers are over rated; you can do anything if you have the right motivation. The thing I really wanted to talk to you about was that I fell terrible for ruining your notes, suit, and hair.”
“What do you mean by my hair?”
“Nothing” replied Rose. “I feel contracted to help you clean up the mess I accidentally made.”
“You don’t really have to; I can just get this one clean, but…um…um… How about we go for a nice cup of coffee?” said Jonathan as fast as he could, he didn’t know he had it in him to ask her, but somehow he did it.
“What? Um, sure, but lets hope it stays in my cup. Actually, I’ll go on three conditions.” smiled Rose
“What are they then?”
“One, I can call you Jonathan instead of Dr. Crane, two, I have to help you get your suit cleaned somehow, and finally I can take your picture for my class.”
“Sure to the first two, I don‘t know, I don’t take pictures well.”
“Off course you do, so, is it a deal?"
“Sure” laughed Jonathan as he took his glasses started to clean them. He was about to put them on, when he felts Rose’s hand on his arm.
“Your eyes look much better without them,”
With that comment, Jonathan’s face turned into a deep shade of red. He had never had a beautiful girl talk to him, let alone wants to take his picture. He reassured himself that he would be cool as Rose raised her camera.
“Cheese, Jonathan.”
Jonathan Crane smiled the best he could as the flash went off. Rose lowered the camera revealing a sinister smile.
“Now how hard was that Jonathan? So let’s get going.”
Hope you like  |

Wow! All the great Crane writers in one place! I just read it! This story has it all. Ohio's great start on where Crane is in life, Alex (fosforito) bringing in the romance (as expected! lol! ) and showing his darker side! Jinna softening him up a bit (you love your Crane to be sweet, don't you?) Ciaran's excellent description of Crane in a classroom setting! (When did you become such a great writer!?) and Dayna bringing on the humor! (I know you just want Crane out of that suit! ) GREAT story so far! Continue! please! ;D |

Alright. This is my first attempt at any sort of story-telling, so please be kind!  Chapter 6"Would you mind driving? I'm parked on the other side of campus" Rose asked as she capped her camera lens. "uhh. Sure." Great. Let's take my beaten-down lousy old car, Jonathan grumbled to himself. As they began to walk across an almost completely empty parking lot, Jonathan suddenly heard a faint whisper. Craaane He quickly turned to Rose, "yes?" "yes what?" Rose replied looking confused. Jonathan blushed. "I'm sorry. I thought you said my name" "I didn't. No. You must be hearing voices!" Rose laughed as she tapped her head. Jonathan flushed red, dropping his head down to stare at a small spot of dirt on his shoe. You see. She's only toying with you. She doesn't like you! She said yes to your 'Coffee date' most likely because she feels sorry for you. You'll be the laughing stock of the faculty by tomorrow! At that, Jonathan's head shot up. He began shaking it wildly left to right, trying to find the source of the voice he had just heard. "What's wrong?" Rose placed a hand on Jonathan's shoulder, causing him to stop. His face had become as pale as a grave on a frosty night. Realizing that there was no one else in the parking lot but Rose and himself, Jonathan loosened his tie and cleared his throat, attempting to regain his composure. "Nothing. I thought I saw a bee fly past me. I'm allergic to bee stings." He said flatly, staring straight ahead with his cold stern blue eyes. "Oh. OK." Rose examined Jonathan with a worried expression. She wanted to say something comforting but couldn't think of anything appropriate. No one gets that worked up over a bee, she thought to herself. He looked as though he'd seen a ghost. They both momentarily stood in place while an awkward silence stretched between them. Jonathan felt dismayed and confused. Did he really hear that in his head? No. He couldn't have. The voice was too loud. It was spoken so clearly, he told himself. It was probably a student. Some idiot trying to mess with him. But then, Rose would have heard it too and surely she would've said something. It must be because I'm overexerting myself, he tried to reassure himself. This has been such a long and exhausting day. "There's my car" he said, breaking the silence. Jonathan gestured with his head at an old Chevy Malibu parked in a compact space labeled, "Faculty/Staff Only". He began to pace towards it as Rose hastily followed to catch up. Jonathan opened the passenger door for Rose. She gracefully ran her fingers behind her legs, smoothing her skirt as she stepped in. She watched him run his fingers through his hair as he strode to get in on the other side. "I know a great place for coffee just 5 minutes from here" Rose smiled as she buckled her seat belt. "It's this little cafe that's owned by a very sweet old couple. They have the best cappuccinos in town and you have to try their freshly baked cupcakes. The wife makes them every morning. " Jonathan inserted his keys into the ignition and started his car. Putting the gearshift in 'reverse', he looked up at Rose and tried his best to administer a genuine smile. "Great! Just point me to the right direction. " ........ |

Jinna softening him up a bit (you love your Crane to be sweet, don't you?) i carn't help it! i think he can be very sweet. a good portion of the time, he's serious and direct and possibly, mean. but when someone comes around that he doesn't dislike, he'll be a bit more gentle. i liked your chapter, though! lol @ Crane riding around in a old Malibu. oh, the struggles of being poor. |

That was really awesome blue-eyed!! I really like how you left it open that maybe he is hearing Scarecrow or juuuuuuuust maybe he is being tormented by a an outside agressor and Rose is in on it. I also love the detail of him driving a Malibu...it definitely puts his current financial situation in clear perspective and explains some of his frustrations and insecurities. You did a great job, blue-eyed and you included some fantastic details! ;D
