Thursday. bailey thought. it is thursday, right? After double checking that it was in fact Thursday, and that she in fact had NO club meetings - a rarity for her - decided to go train or practice her taekwondo outside.
It was a tad chilly, so Bailey layered up. Bailey had gotten some stud planet earrings, and decided to wear them.
She tied her shoes, and slipped out of the dorm, heading outside. She had left her cat twinkle inside her dorm, so that she could fully focus on her training.
In her bag, bailey had her wand, water bottle, a few of the pads from her gear bag, and her extendable bostaff.
Once outside, Bailey looked around. Not many people were around, maybe two or three. It was too cold for most people, and Bailey was a tad chilly, but she knew she'd warm up.
i doubt kim will be out here... though we do seem to run into each other a lot. I hope he's not worrying or anything, he's seemed... off, stressed out, lately. Bailey thought as she walked
Putting her bag on the ground, bailey ran to a tree that was about fifty feet away and back two or three times.
Sufficiently warmed up, bailey started her form. She ran through her form a few times, and then decided to switch to her bostaff form.
In her starting stance, Bailey extended the staff and began her weapons form.NOTICE:
none of these things are dangerous. Bailey's 'extendable bostaff' if seen, looks flashy but was actually quite fragile, as it was made for show and performances, not self defense. No one will be harmed by any of Bailey's gear, or her unless she is provoked. Which we did not plan on doing...

With classes over for the day, I decided to go outside. I didn’t really want to be in the castle right now. So, after changing into some more comfortable clothes, I ventured out. For the past few weeks ever since the truth or dare game and when… erm, the night after, I’ve been on edge constantly. Worried some crazy person will jump out snd slaughter me and scared that everyone knows what I am. I know rumours have been spread, how can they not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew what Ava had said to me at the game and also what Ree and Colin said.
I didn’t want the whole school to know! The thought of that made my stomach turn and palms to be sweaty. I wiped them on my trousers.
Thats when I heard someone. Looking around, I then spotted- Bailey was it? We played the football game! I bit my lip and walked over, she seemed to be fighting something with a stick! “Hey Bailey,” I greeted nervously, did she know? Would she be scared of me? “Urm, what you up to? Fighting a ghost?” I joked pretending to look around.
I shoved my hands in my pockets, and waited for her to reply. She looked really. At peace here in my opinion.

kick... reverse punch, knifehandstrike.... bailey thought as she worked through her form.
deciding to switch to her bostaff form, bailey started. After running through the easy warm up she did - thinking one up high... two up high.... three in the middle... four in the middle... five down low.... six down low... seven up... eight on top... nine stab..
"ayah!" bailey yelled, on nine.
Wondering if anyone heard, Bailey glanced around, practicing a fancy throw, and then she had spotted a familiar face.
its Luci!!!! Bailey thought, happy to see her friend, the younger first year snek.
"Hey Luci!!" Bailey said, tossing the boy behind her back, stepping back to catch it.
he then asked what she was doing, and joke asked if she was fighting a ghost.
Bailey smiled, stopping her form, and replying to Luci.
"i'm just practicing my taekwondo - i did my traditional form, and now i was just practicing my bostaff - my staff form!"
Looking Luci up and down, bailey decided he was probably sick of people asking if he was alright, and from the look of him and the fact that he was not in the hospital wing, that he was ok.
"And honestly traditional form and weapons is sort of like fighting a ghost - it's a choreographed fight of sorts!"NOTICE:

I watched her continue to fight Ghost Granny Gil. I watched in amazement as she whacked the air. "Ayah!" she yelled out, I jumped slightly as I had no expected it. It seems she hadn't either as she looked around. I smiled a little and have a small wave. "Hey Luci!" @Bailey Glade called, tossing the stick backwards and catching it.
“Show off!” I teased, coming closer wearily. I knew about the rumours spreading about me and it was almost guaranteed she knew what I was. How would she react? I tried to hide that though, if she knew then she wouldn’r have reacted so warmly when she saw me. Right? Yeah, she could only have myths for knowledge regarding us and she could be a little worried… but I think we will be okay. “Urm, what you up to? Fighting a ghost?” I asked, eyeing the stick.
“I’m just practicing my taekwondo - i did my traditional form, and now i was just practicing my bostaff - my staff form!" woah! She looked me up and down and I fidgeted where I stood. I just knew what she was thinking. Is this my life now? Pity looks? “And honestly traditional form and weapons is sort of like fighting a ghost - it's a choreographed fight of sorts!"
“That sounds really cool Leigh,” I said in hopes of diverting her thought track or some shit. Fighting… maybe I can use this! “So… do you do this a lot? What can you do?” I gasped. “Are… are you one of them muggle ninjas?”

Bailey was running through her bostaff form when she felt a pair of eyes on her. After finishing she looked to see Luci, a first year Slytherin, watching her.
He seemed comfortable enough around her, and she the same. He gave off the same vibe as her friend @Colin McCoire, but she didn’t know why… besides they were both super sweet sneks. Bailey had found out recently that Luci was a werewolf, but she honestly didn’t care, and was not gonna treat him any different because she knew that fact.
They chatted a bit, he had asked what she was doing so Bailey did her best to explain.
He said that it sounded really cool, and Bailey smiled and blushed, fidgeting with her bostaff. “thanks!! I think it is!”
She smiled as he kept taking, and laughed when he asked if she was one of the muggle ninjas.
To answer the first part of what he had asked she said “Haha k do train a lot, but not as much as I did before you know… i found out I was a witch and all that. Now I’m part of so many clubs and such…. Plus dragging Kim places too..”
To answer his question about ninjas, she said
“unfortunately I’m not a ninja… though if this witch thing doesn’t work out I may consider it as a career… I think It would be fun!”
After a beat, Bailey asked “have you considered any careers? I could see you as… either a professional quidditch player or something like that… or an Auror- ohh or something with politics maybe?”

She said that she trained a lot. “Why train for physical fighting?” I inquired, sitting down on the grass a decent distance from the mat. “Just flipendo an adversary!” I added with an excited grin, the image of the opponent in a heap. “But that looks cooler than waving a wand around,” I had to reluctantly confess, and fighting is fun. Well, it seems fun.
“Aw. Ninja’s look cool. I think they are all magical! How do they drop the weird rock things and just disappear?” I asked, a wondered look in my eyes. I looked at her seriously, “Apparation,” I revealed confidently. It’s the only explanation!
Bailey asked me if I had considered any careers. I bit my lip a little and looked to the grass. No. I hadn’t really. I mean, my uncle (Henri Havertz) is a magizoologist and he focuses on Dark Creatures! Sure, that would be fun, but… oh I don’t know. Is that bad? I’m 11 and I have no aspiration. “I… I don’t know,” I said sadly. “I guess a magizoologist would be good,” but it would never fill me with satisfaction. What about a Hit Wizard? That sounds fun! I heard her says he saw me playing quidditch and my eyes widened, a twinkle shining. “Well, I did always want to be a beater! But… I’m scared of actually flying so that was blasted with the killing curse,” I tried to joke.
I shuddered when I remembered she mentioned politics, “Ew. Never,” I said. Imagine being sat at a desk and arguing and all that other stuff. “But yeah. You were right about quidditch,” I said with a smile, watching her. I was content to watch @Bailey Glade train! It was fascinating.
