[Jonah's POV]

I got on the bus as I saw Jacob being taken away by police as he was writing to the Joker instead of Dr. Crane. My mind then went to Ivy. 'She kissed me.' After I got home, I decided to write her a letter. The next day in Criminal Justice, the teacher made an announcement.

Teacher: "As of today, the pen pal program is done."

I was distraught.

Jonah: "What, why?"

Teacher: "Because of what occurred yesterday. Now you are also banned from visiting with these inmates."

Jonah: "But Ivy didn't do anything?"

Teacher: "It's still a risk to your safety."

I was pissed, but I was going to see her again. So, after school, I made my way to Arkham, but a guard stops me.

Guard: "Who are you here to see."

Jonah: "Pamela Isley."

Guard: "Name and form of ID."

I handed him my state ID.

Jonah: "Jonah Carleton."

He looks up at something and stops.

Guard: "Sorry, I can't let you in."

Suddenly Commissioner Gordon came up behind him.

Gordon: "Let him in."

He leads me to a window. Then I saw her. Suppose a guard didn't have to bring her over. She probably would have run to me.

Jonah: "Hey Ivy."

Pamela: "Hey, doing alright? You look angry."

Jonah: "I'm fine, but I thought I would never see or hear from you again."

Pamela: "Why?"

Jonah: "Because as of yesterday, my teacher doesn't want us to keep in contact with our pen pals."

Pamela: "Well, you could use your address and write to me from home."

Jonah: "Okay."

Pamela: "I know you said you were fine yesterday but are you?"

Jonah: "No, I'm scared."

Pamela: "Why?"

Jonah: "What if my parents hate me for loving you?"

Pamela: "You love me?"

Jonah: "Yes, I do. Im sorry."

I look down in sadness.

Pamela: "Hey, I dont mind. Anyways you better get home."

Jonah: "Okay. I'll see you soon."
