Jack kept his eyes closed for a little while longer. It wasn't like he didn't want to look at Rhea, of course he did, but he was just too darn comfortable to ruin it by opening his eyes and letting the sunlight burn them. Maybe he was coming on with a headache? He wasn't sure of that. He laughed. "Yes, but I didn't know they would go over the top with it." The green was probably the reason why he was getting a headache, it would come to the point where he wouldn't be able to think of any other colour. At this point, Jack slowly opened his eyes, and sat up slightly, he was acting like a slob, and he shouldn't do that, especially with a lady present. "I left quite early actually." Siiiigh, why was she assuming these things of him? "I just didn't get much sleep last night." Jack wasn't that bothered, he was probably anxious for the days ahead of him. It wasn't nerves, Jack Riding didn't get nervous.

Jack smiled again, wondering if she was actually telling the truth. Girls tended to hide the real reason why they were with him when he asked, because the answer was always that he was so gorgeous and they missed his beautiful face. Always. "Flatter myself? But it's merely the truth, love." She touched his hair, and he sighed. "I'm also thinking that you missed my hair."

Rhea wondered what was wrong with him. He wasn't acting particularly Jack-y at the moment and she wondered if it was because he actually didn't want to see her. Hmm, she felt a pout creeping up but stopped herself. If he didn't she would just have to make him want to, wouldn't she? She chuckled at his response.
"Well I've never actually seen inside the slytherin common room so I have no idea." She was sure it was pretty green though and green wasn't her colour, though she thought Jack wore it well.
She shifted away from him a little when he sat up and felt a flush creep up her cheeks when he answered.
"Ooh, I just thought you might want to errm...explore a little on your first night is all."

He smiled at her and she immediately felt like tense. Good he was still in an ok mood. Which was good. She laughed a little at his answer and turned her head to look around the grounds, her ponytail swishing as she did.
"But whose truth is it Jack? Hmm?" Giggle. She liked riddles.
"Well I can certainly admit to that bit. I actually did miss playing in your hair." She smiled at him.

Jack covered his mouth as he yawned, feeling that it would probably wake him up. He turned to face out side, so that the cold air could hit him gently and so that would wake him up also. He was also considering slapping himself, but that would look a bit odd, and it wasn't like he was about to pass out at any moment. Jack had got a total of 3 hours sleep last night, and it really didn't help him out, even if the bed was comfy, and even if the room was nice and quiet and dark, it didn't do him justice is all. New atmosphere, environment, must be. "Good point." Jack had forgotten about that, you couldn't go into other houses' common rooms. That was a shame, because he had other friends in other houses, and he bet that their common rooms were a lot nicer, a lot brighter.

Jack was finally awake, but not before he rubbed his eyes and crossed his legs up onto the stone wall. "I was saving that for today actually." Because the curfew was incredibly annoying, and it meant he couldn't go for a wonder actually. "Though, I think I would enjoy it a lot more darling, if you were with me." He winked, she had done that to him many times, even though he was meant to be the romantic one. But, Jack loved her doing it so much that he wasn't going to stop her.

Rhea watched as jack tried to wake himself up. Man he was really tired. It must really have been a rough night for him in the common room. She had slept quite well though and was feeling really refreshed. Then again Jack was new to the place so it was understandable, for her it was like coming home after a very long vacation. She was out like a light after hitting her nice comfy four poster.

Once again she shifted as he changed position crossing his lips up on the wall. Why did she find everything he did so hot? Crossing one's legs wasn't exactly hot if the person was a guy but it was when he did it..rawr! Oh so he was going exploring today, was he? She had done that on many occasions but was sure Hogwarts held a lot more secrets and unexplored areas. She smiled at him.
"Aww, well I'm flattered Riding. Congrats I think I feel a blush coming on." She smirked at him and chuckled at his wink. Oh it was on now, he stole ehr wink! Ok so she stole his 'darling' first but still. Once again her hand was in his hair raking through it softly. Her dad found it quite relaxing actually an she wondered if it was just like a guy thing or something.
"You know.." she said quietly moving in closer."I know a lot of little secret places around the castle." She winked at him. Ha! top that Riding.

Jack leaned his head back onto the pillar, trying to get comfy again. Man, it really was a bad idea to rest here, when he could have easily just turned back round and got back into the common room, back to his dorm, back to his bed. However, there were no girls in his dorm, and Rhea wouldn't have been in his common room. So really, it was very firtunate that he had decided to fall asleep, otherwise he wouldn't have come across her. Jack rested his elbows on his knees, which were now far apart because of his crossed legged postion, kind of like a buddhist, but not as painful position. "Really? Success." He chuckled, feeling accomplish that he'd finally made a girl blush in this place. Jack also found her hair raking rather soothing, and if she were to do it anymore, he'd probably fall asleep again. Haha.

Now she really was flirting! Jack liked this very much, because girls didn't usually do it back, they giggled, blushed, called him cute and then went to go tell their friends. He was pretty glad that Rhea was similar to him, yet thankful she hand't called him 'darling'. That was SO his thing that she stole. "Really ..." He raised an eyebrow, and moved a few strands of hair around her ear. ".... To be honest love it sounds like you want me on my own in this secret place." Something which he didn't mind at all.

Mmmm Jack's hair felt very nice. She really enjoyed raking through it and by the looks of it he was enjoying it too. She could bet the other girls didn't rake through his hair like she did,ha!, take that girls who were trying to steal the guy she liked! It was becoming more and more easy for her to talk and flirt with him. It kind of felt natural now which was good. Man she was almost happy that he couldn't sleep in his dorm. It meant that she could sit out here with him and fliiiiiiirt. Hehe
"Really." She did a half smile/half smirk.

Wow she was really getting into this flirting thing and Jack seemed to be liking it. She wouldn't stop, nope not yet.Plus if she got him to go exploring with her and NOT that french chick, she was sure they would have fun and she would probably get another kiss and this time she would make him do it first. Matter of fact she would work on that now.
"So what if I want to keep you for myself for a little bit hmm?" She wagged her eyebrows at him and then smiled as he tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear and moved in closer to him only inches from his face, her nose brushed his but she didn't do anything..yet.

Meh. She was a terrible person. A terrible TERRIBLE person. Not only had Nekoda CHEATED on Orlando by KISSING Beck, butttt she'd also basically just betrayed her best friend by kissing Aiden as well. Oh MERLIN. This wasn't good, not. at. all.

Sliding onto the ground in the corridor, she shook her head, hitting her head lightly on the wall behind her. One thing was for certain.

Nekoda was SOOOOO NOT getting best friend of the year award. Nope.

Savvy was feeling better now. She wasn't as mad, of course she still was kind of mad at Nekoda for doing that but...she also knew that Ella and Aiden were going to break up over this and that made Savannah quite happy. The insults Nekoda shot her though were still stuck in the blonde's mind. That glitter fight with Jimbo had SERIOUSLY helped her. She needed to hang out with that kid more.

......oh look. It was Nekoda.

Savannah said nothing, she just walked up to the girl, not really smiling nor showing any anger. She waited for a response, that was the best to do with Nekoda, let her speak first.

Hearing footsteps approach her, Kody's eyes traveled from the sparkly pink pumps to the face she already knew would be staring down at her. Though she WAS surprised to see it wasn't glaring, it was just...blank.

Quickly glancing back down, basically afraid she was gonna get slapped AGAIN, Kody bit her lip. She wasn't sure what to say. But it was obvious Savannah was waiting on her to say SOMETHING. But...WHAT!? What could you say when you said THE cowish things ever to be spoken to your best friend? What COULD you say when you were caught kissing her ex who she STILL loved?

Erm. Yeah, Kodah was thinking the answer was NOT MUCH. So she said the only thing she could, "I'm sorry."

Savannah nodded her head as Nekoda spoke, glad she was actually speaking. She wasn't sure exactly what to say right now, it was so awkward. Things shouldn't be awkward between Nevannah, it should be glittery and fun. The blonde gulped her perfectly gorgeous face still emotionless. She couldn't even FIND the right words to describe how she felt right now. Was she mad? Yeah, she kissed her ex! Was she sad? Yeah, Aiden was mad at her. Was she happy? Mhm, Ella and Aiden were done which meant Savvy Sparkles could make her move.

"Aiden and Ella are breaking up...."The blonde said, her voice a weeeee bit unsteady. Her hands were in the pockets of her school robes as she spoke, a concentracted look on her face."So, thanks I guess?"

Meh. This was weird.

Eirian was strolling down the corridor to the grounds, hoping to catch a bit of fresh air when it was still relatively warm. The voices of the other students was a song in her mind; a cold, English folk tune that fell at the end of each lick in the strange way English and British people in general spoke with. Even if she was fluent in the language, she would never understand them... Closing her eyes, she rested against the wall. The stones were cold, and she shivered, but being back here exhausted her so much. She couldn't be sure if she was glad or not.

And then, as she listened to the song, two familiar voices broke from the rest. Nekoda and Savannah... She sighed. They sounded dually stressed - and tiringly far away - so she wouldn't butt in. Even Eirian knew her place, and it was not amongst them at a time like this. So, trying to tune them out, she slid to her butt, smoothed her skirt out under her, and sat... thinking about how different this year would be.

Jack could easily fall asleep again; Rhea playing with his hair to the point that it felt like a massage. Yep, he could sit here all day with her. However, if he were to be polite, then he couldn't fall asleep with her there, being rude was something Jack didn't like, unless he really hated the person. And to be honest, how he felt about Rhea was the complete opposite. "Well you know it's going to be a good day when it starts with making a girl blush." He gave her a smirk, and wrinkled his nose. It was getting colder.

Jack sniggered, but it didn't sound so evil. He'd heard other peoples' snggers and they didn't sound polite at all, especially with such a beautiful lady sat beside him. "That's perfectly alright with me darling, I'd be happy to be yours for a little bit." They were close now; their noses touching and Jack wondered if maybe she wanted him to kiss her, because he was perfectly alright with that also. But the embarrassment she felt last time made him think differently. So instead, he rubbed his nose gently against hers, and pulled away again, leaning back on the pillar. If she wanted to kiss him again, then she could go ahead. This was Rhea. Rhea, who loved his hair, blushed when he complimented her and used his pet names on him. But he had to admit, it was fun to hear it from somebody else, so he wouldn't say no to her.

Her glaring at him could only make Josh laugh more. So the boy laughed and laughed as the girl glared slighty easing his grip on her wrists without realising as he laughed. Then she spoke. Oh? What was that? Blinking at the girl he stopped laughing for a moment or so. No, he stopped laughing completely.

''Okay'' he said looking slightly sad and obediently freeing the girl's wrists from his grip. This girl definitely did not know the meaning of a good joke. He was just joking around, right? She did not even like his idea of wearing a bottle cap instead. ''A bottle cap, actually, would look cool on you if you painted it in Slytherin colours.'' Now if she did not like jokes, Josh knew how to impress girls so he used his words instead ''Anything would look good on you''

Iris smiled sweetly at Josh as he let go of her wrists. "Thank you." Gah. The guy had a tight grip. Iris brushed some of her hair out of her face and then put her hands in her robe pockets.

The girl rolled her eyes as he said the bottle cap would look "cool". With a small grin, she tilted her head curiously as she looked at him. "Oh really?" *SMIRK* "Well... Why don't you go make yourself your own badge out of a bottle cap?" Teehee.

As Josh then went on to try and convince her to give him her badge, Iris went a little pink. Flattery wasn't going to get her badge. "Uh... You... You're still not having my badge. And I'm not using a bottle top."

Rhea could do this for hours. Sit hair raking through Jack's hair and talking about...wait what were they talking about exactly? O.o She had no idea but she didn't care because she enjoyed talking about nothing and having him enjoy her raking through his hair. In all honesty it was relaxing for her too. She chuckled at his comment. NO its a good day when they hang out period.
"I suppose you're right." She giggled as he wrinkled his nose. Silly boy.

Rawr so he wanted wander off with her too. Awesome he would most certainly enjoy their adventure if they ever did get around to moving from the corridor wall, though presently she was in no rush to move.
"Aww but why just a little bit?" She playfully pouted for a bit, then resumed her raking of his hair. Rhea closed her eyes as he rubbed his nose against hers. She felt for sure he was going to kiss her....this was it...the kiss was co...not coming! Whaaaaaaaaaat happened?
"Huh.."She opened her eyes at looked at him leaning against the wall and pouted. Like really pouted this time.
"You're a tease Jack Riding." She said crossing her arms.

Jack watched as he drew back from her, and how she pouted at him for doing so. He knew he had to choose between continuing or drawing back, and he thought that drawing back would be the best to do, because of the embarrassment last time. But that was because Rhea had kissed him, whereas this would be the other way around. "You were the one who said a little bit before me." There was plenty of Jack to go around, but he never liked to be in the same place the whole time, and that inculded being with the same people. Jack got bored incredibly easily. Jack bit his lip as Rhea looked confused, calling him a tease, and sulking. Oh, she was so cute.

"Oh, I'm sorry love. I didn't think you wanted me to. After what happened last time." But again, that was her kissing him, so it was completely different. He smirked at her, running a few fingers across the side of his jaw line, then tracing his finger on her jawline. If you were going to call Jack a tease, he was immedietely going to act like one. Haha. Leaning in slowly, because he was still a little tired, Jack kissed Rhea softly on the lips for a few seconds, and drawing back again. "Happy now?" He smirked, his thumb still lingering on her jaw.

Why did boys have to be so hard to understand? Girls were so easy to get..getting close to his face like that obviously meant kiss me! Jeez it wasn't that hard. What did he want her to do, stick a sign on her forehead saying Jack Riding kiss me? Pfft, she wasn't going to do that.What was she like not kissable enough for him or something? She blinked unbelievingly. Was that like rejection or something? More pouting.

"But why do you think I wouldn't want you to? Oh you're such a guy Jack!" She didn't care about last time it was kissing time naao. But then he touched her jawline and she felt that little shiver and prayed he didn't notice it if it was indeed noticeable. Then he started leaning in...oh he better not pull back again ..he better not...he didn't! Her eyes closed slowly as she kissed him back but then it was over too soon. Quick pout. She returned his smirk.
"Maybe....I'll be happy if you tell me that you liked that.." She reached up with her hand and put it on the wand that was still lingering on her jawline.

Josh just smiled when Iris thanked him for his letting go of her wrists. Maybe it had been a bad idea. Maybe he must have hold Professor Lafay's wrists instead. Hey, hold on a minute! What did Professor Lafay have to do with this situation now? He did not know but weirdly that woman kept entering his mind these days.

Whatever...

Looking down at the floor Josh shoke his head as Iris offered him to make his own badge out of a bottle cap. Actually that would be a good idea for a joke. He could paint a Gryffindor badge and replace it with Brant's badge in the boys' dormitory. Yet this idea had to wait right now.

He looked back at the girl just in time to see her light blush ''That is okay. I do not want your badge anymore, pretty, because i have something more interesting'' *smirk*

Jack laughed. To be honest, he was quite thankful that he was indeed a guy, otherwise, he would be feeling incredbily strange right now. Because he had been thinking for 16 years that he was male, and to be told differently would be quite a shock to his system. He smiled at her, a genuine smile this time, not a smirk, a smile. "You do have a point. Everyone wants to kiss me." He sighed at his vanity, loving every second of it, and how he was always able to compliment himself, whatever the situation or scenario he was in. But anyway, when it came to hints and stuff, Jack was terrible. If someone wanted Jack to kiss him, they would have to either tell him bluntly, or have a sign, or even initiate it; he was fine with that.

Moving her hair out of her eyes with the hand that had touched her jaw, Jack smiled again, but this time it had twisted back into his usual smirk. This was because, by eyeing her, Jack had come to the conclusion that she believed the kiss to be too short. Honestly, the girls aorund here were so greedy! They always wanted longer, lingering kisses from Jack. But he couldn't blame them, his kisses were pretty damn awesome. Though now, once she said this, Jack became a little worry. At first, he had always thought that she just wanted a kiss from him, and he wasn't sure if she wanted it to be something else ... "Of course I did darling, why wouldn't I?"

"You are impossible sometimes, Dylan. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, you prat!" she hissed at him again. She was annoyed that he was still dwelling on that stuff. It was unhealthy and ANNOYING.

"You need to put yourself in that equation somewhere, you know," she said as she let her hands drop at her sides and took a few steps back from him. "You know, you really should get a freakin haircut, Dylan" she spat at him before walking off.

Rhea had to admit that she really liked that. It was a lot better than the first time when she had barely just given him a little peck on the cheek. It barely even lasted a second. But this one was longer and so much better and he wanted it this time, even though she had to ask for it. She rolled her eyes at the thought without even really meaning to do that. But then his comment made her roll her eyes again. He could be so full of himself sometimes, but that's what made him Jack and she kind of liked that. Ok she really liked that.
"You're so full of it Jack." She said teasingly.

She smiled at him as he moved the hair away from her eyes. Apparently her ponytail had become loose and why wouldn't it. Things were surely starting to heat up. She pulled back from him and adjusted herself against the wall. If he wanted more he would have to come for it. She was leaving it all up to him now, well not all, where was the fun in that? But most of it. Every girl wanted to be chased, even though she was getting the feeling that Jacked like to be pursued and not the other way around. Rhea shrugged.
"I don't know. Maybe I just wanted you to say it." She smirked a little.

Brittany angrily stormed into the corridor to the Courtyard. Her destination was suppose to be the actual courtyard but she was fuming so that he only made it here. She walked over to the windows looking out at the courtyard. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and here she was all angry. She was getting rather lonely and bored but there was no wayyyyyy she was going back up to that stupid Hufflepuff common room. Not now at least.

Jack leaned back again, the back of his head touching the cold, stone pillar, watching Rhea roll her eyes, sigh, shake her head, the usual things that girls did when Jack said something egotistical. Jack couldn't help himself, he loved to hear things about himself, especially positive, as negative made him all sulky and depressed. But, it was easy to pick himself up, you just call him gorgeous, and he was extremely happy once again. Simple minded men. He laughed, and nodded. "I know I am, but you love it."

Jack had to raise both eyebrows at this. Rhea, being sneaky? Now there was a surprise. He was pretty much getting used to it now, ever since she had started calling him 'darling', which he had grown very fond of now, and the fact she liked to touch his hair, A LOT, he might add. "Well that's sneaky of you. But, you knew I liked it. C'mon, it is you love." Also, he would have known he wouldn't have liked it before hand, and would have refused to kiss her. But this was Rhea, gorgeous, seductive, cute Rhea, if you could be all three. He lifted up his hand towards her hair, playing with the loose strands that had left her ponytail. Hey, if she could do it to him, he was definitely entitled to do it to her. "And I also think you wanted me to say it, because you liked it to." Of course she did; Jack Riding had kissed her.

Rhea crossed her long legs. She wasn't like super skinny or anything but she wasn't very meaty either, she was in that nice weight height thing being at 120lb at 5'61/2. Her healer told her that was excellent weight height. She looked at them for a while. Before turning her attention back to Jack. Who was looking mighty pleased with himself. Maybe she shouldn't have let on how good at kissing he was. Then what would he do. She smirked as a thought came to her. It was sneaky but it might get her more kisses. She chuckled.
"You're right darling, I do." She winked at him.

She looked at him and snickered as he raised her eyebrows at him. So it seemed she had surprised him. What, did he think he had her figured out or something? Pftt, not even her bestfriend did and she spent like lots of time with him.
"Very good Riding, I'm impressed, flattery will get you everywhere." She smiled as he played with the loose strands of her hair. Well her ponytail was done for so she might as well let it loose. She reached up and pulled the scrunchy away, letting down waves of bouncy dark brown hair, that smiled faintly of cucumber-melon.
"Oh but I never denied liking it. I liked it a lot." She leaned forward again and kissed his cheek getting just a bit of his lips in the process, then pulled back and smirked at him.
"Though my ex just might have been a bit better..." She smirked. He was welcome to prove her wrong of course. Hehe

Jack watched as Rhea stretched her ridiculoudly long legs; smooth and shiny, and she was showing them off as if she wanted him to kiss her more. That, he was perfectly fine with. He'd never met a girl who literally couldn't get enough of them, and purposely seduced him to the point where he could easily snog them for hours on end. But he didn't want to do that, just in case that wasn't what Rhea was after, and she was merely stretching her legs. Over analysing, yet again. And there, she went; calling him darling and winking. Yes, he was right on his first guess in wondering what she wanted. "You want another one don't you?" Callie did this a lot too. But she would rather just kiss him whenever she felt like it, on her terms. Whereas Rhea liked to show off her legs and use his own pet names on him. A lot sexier.

Jack smiled when she loosened her hair out of the ponytail, at least now he had more hair to play with. Girl's hair was just so irresistable, it was unreal. Even though Jack thought his hair was gorgeous and amazing, he still didn't get the appeal of playing with it, when you were a girl, because you had your own amazing hair to run your fingers through. He ran his hand through Rhea's hair, making sure it stayed away from her eyes. "Rubbish!" Jack gasped, "I'm sure I'm far better than your ex, or any guy in this school."
