Lonely Tunes (Jack)

[broadway]

Raychel pushed open the door with one hand cautiously. She peered in, then only after she knew the room was empty, did she enter. She closed the door behind her and then took a seat atop one of the many empty desks scattered about the classroom. Raychel then began to hum a bit to herself. Whenever she was lonely, and by herself, she tended to sing.

"Wise men say, only fools rush in. But I can't help falling in love with you. Shall I stay. Would it be a sin, if I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be. Take my hand. Take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you." Raychel sang softly, her eyes fluttering closed. Little did she know, someone had stumbled upon her little performance. It was...

Jack. The new student to hogwarts, a transfer from beauxbaton due to his family moving to England. He inhailed and on the fourth count relased the air through his lips. Standing there, he had been caught watching the girl well by the girl he was watching. She was cute and not a bad voice either, something off the back just told him they'd get along. "Sorry" He stated for his interuption. "I was just trying to find a classroom... so that i know where I'm going tomorrow. A slytherin girl pointed me in this direction, and I happened to hear your singing and thought...I would listen then tell you.. out of all honesty that you should go into singing.. and now that I have done that.. I will just go." He pointed to the door behind him and started to turn.

Raychel got to her feet and laid a hand on his shoulder. "No, it's fine. Thank you, for that lovely compliment." she replied with a smile. She circled to the front of him. "Really, it's no problem. If you want, I can show you where you need to go...." she said. Raychel calmly studied his features. He was rather handsome, and he had a slight accent to his voice. She bowed her head slightly. "I'm Raychel McFarland." she introduced herself, stretching out her hand in greeting.

[freddygrey]

His head turned to look towards her hand on his shoulder, then he turned around to face the girl. He smile stretched just a little as he did as he had looked over her features. Raychel was a beautiful name. Extending his hand to hers he lowered his head towards her hand and before placing a kiss on it looked up to her. "Jack Greyer" He placed the kiss on her hand and then straightened his body after letting go of her hand. "Nice to meet you Raychel."

[broadway]

Raychel reluctantly placed her hands behind her back, blushing a bit. "Very nice to meet you." she replied softly. She awkwardly played with a strand of her hair. "Your that exchange student from Beauxbatons, right?" she asked, hoping to make some innocent conversation. Jack was quite handsome, and getting to know him wouldn't hurt.

[freddygrey]

"I am" He gave a warm smile and looked down when he had caught a bit of a blush in her cheeks. It flattered him. He got that reaction a lot, but he nevver tended to notice that he did. Not many girls stood out enough to him from the start for him to notice such things. He was in no rush to finding the classroom he would need to find for tomorrow . His mind was now towards holding a conversation with the girl, getting to know her better. Something just from the very few words that came from her lips, her posutre, her eyes.. told him that they would get along well.

Raychel smiled and took a seat back down on the desk she had been resting on before Jack came in. She watched Jack, knowing that he had no intention of finding that classroom now. She could read people well, and Jack was like an open book to her. Something about his face, his eyes, his voice. He just spoke to her. "That must have been wonderful. I've lived in a few different countries myself, until I came here for my schooling when I was eleven."

[freddygrey]

"Beauxbaton is a very beautiful place, probably filled with a bit more people who are just full of themselves from their parents being rich." He smirked and allowed it to fade as he studied her facial features. Moving around the empty classroom, his eyes moved across the walls and then the desks, picking up on small little details like a small carving of an initial, a rollypolly on the floor. "I'm originaly from brooklyn I've only beern to Paris, the small town outside of paris I lived at for a while and now here. " He thought he would share where he had been to maybe explain his accent. Most people grew curious about his slight accent. "Where have you lived?" He thought it was a good place to start a conversation since she had brought it up.

[broadway]

Raychel smiled. She folded her legs under her gently and faced him. "I was born here, in England, but my father travels a lot, so Mum and I moved too. I've lived in Berlin, London, a small town in Portugal, Paris. I love it here though, and I want to stay for as long as I am able." she replied softly. She was proud of her heritage, and the places where she lived, and she wasn't shy on sharing.

[freddygrey]

He smiled "What was portugal like?" He moved to lean againat the teachers desk for a moment, his eyes on her for a moment as he would listen to her reply. He then would move to sit ontop fo the desk, something he probably wouldn't do in a very public social situation. He inhailed through his nose and exhailed through his mouth. Something he just did everyone once in a while, after all it was suppose to be the proper way of breathing. He fogort who had told him that, but it didn't really matter at this moment. At the moment he was enjoying listening to the girl talk.

"It was wonderful. The air smelt so... clean. So fresh." Raychel replied. She placed her hands on her lap and her eyes followed Jack around the room. A faint smile played on her lips. She was rather enjoying her conversation with him. He was like no other boy she had met. He was kind, and gentle. He didn't want to talk about immature subjects, but about her life. About his life. Raychel was sure that they were going to get along perfectly.

[freddygrey]

"It sounds wonderful, I'll have to go ... one day." He gave a warm smile towards the girl and then looked around the surroundings. "So y you come here often to sing?" He wanted to keep up the conversation for a little bit and that was the first thing that came to his mind. His hands rested on his lap as his eyes once more landed on Raychel.

Raychel blushed a bit then tore her gaze abruptly away. "Erm... no. Usually, I would go to the Room of Requirement... But a younger pair of students were using it for their own private study party." she replied with a small laugh. She finally bucked up enough courage to look up and meet Jack's gaze. For a moment, she said nothing, and did nothing.

[freddygrey]

They seemed to just watch each other in silence, not like a stare, but just like they were trying to figure each other out. Like he didn't believe she was real in one sense and the other he was watching her like trying to figure her out. He gave a slight smile. "Maybe I should go and try to find that classroom." He got of the desk and looked at her for am oment before heading towards the door.

Raychel jumped to her feet. "Here... erm... let me come with you. I could help." she stammered. She felt kind of bad about that, feeling clingy. That one was thing about her that she couldn't stand sometimes. She tended to be a bit jumpy when she felt like she needed to do something. She smiled awkwardly and cleared her throat. "I mean... I'll come with...." Suddenly, Raychel tripped over her feet and she tumbled to the floor. Her long hair flew in front of her face, covering her eyes in the disarray. She felt her ears and cheeks burn a bright red. "You." she mumbled feebly.
