I want it my way

"But," she turned around, leaning agianst the opening of an empty compartment, "Lets not talk about him. I want to talk about you. What makes Collin, tick."

Tilting her head, she skipped into the compartment, and flopped onto the seat.

"You going sit down and chat," she smiled at Colin. "Or am I going to have to find someone else to ... talk... with?"

Collin had to smirk at Ninette she was a little more excitable he noticed that Kassidy, but maybe Ninette wasn't as clingy.

"Of course I am going to sit down." Collin commented as he sit down next to Ninette.

"There are many things that make me tick. One being in the company of a beautiful lady, second I like to live in the moment." Collin smiled at Ninette then stretched his arms across the back of the seat they were sitting.

"So what seems to make you tick?"

Ninette smirked as he sat beside her and after giving a flick of her wand and a muttered spell to close the compartment door, she turned to face him, closing the space between them even further.

"You like to live in the moment, huh?" she raise her eyebrow smirking, "And what exactly does this moment... say?"

"Oh, there are many things that make me tick - this and that... none of them that important," she paused putting on an air of dissinterest before flashing him a chesire smile. "Though there is one thing."

She smirked again, raising an eyebrow suggestively, and purposely leaving the statment hanging.

Collin smirked at her when she shut the door and asking about the moment.

"This moment can say a lot of things, one I just wanted to use you to make Kass jealous, you obviously want to use me for something just not sure what." Collin could be wrong but this was one girl that was coming on awful strong to not have a agenda.

Collin smirked at her when she stated that there was one thing that made her tick, Collin turned to her and smiled placing his hand on her knee.

"What would that one thing be." Collin didn't trust this girl and it had been awhile since he played a game like this.

"Well, well, well, " Ninette smiled slightly, "I got myself an insightful one, now didn't I? Couldn't I just honestly be interested in your... charming personality?"

SHe raised her eyebrow, "So you are playing a case of school boy "I hate you because I love you" - actually interested in blondie then are we."

She placed a hand on his leg and leaned in closer.

"Well, Collin dear, I like to get what I want."

Collin had to laugh "Charming personality is not something that someone usually considered me as having. So obviously you want me for something."

Collin thought about Kassidy when she asked about the blonde "Well Kass does have some interesting qualities, but I do enjoy a good game now and then."

Collin smirked when she too placed her hand on his knee and moved in closer, so Collin closed the gap even closer. "What is it you want?"

"Well now, " Ninette drawled, proping her elbow on the edge of the seat, and then resting her head on her hand, "I say that some people have a poor judge of personality - always want these kind, gallant men. I want someone a little more.... rough around the edges."

"A game, Hmm? Well I am always up for a game."

She smirked, loving when things went exactly how she wanted them too. She leaned in closer, letting her face hover just inches from Collin's.

"Well, for the moment, for assorted reasons, none important," she smiled slowly, "I. Want. You."

Collin smirked at Ninette when she stated she wanted a rough around the edges man. "So you think I might be a rough around the edges man do you?"

Collin had to laugh "I am pretty sure I can tell you like to play a game, I am just trying to figure out what you are planning on winning out of these game."

Collin was very interested when Ninette basically got right up in his face, so close he could have kissed her, but he wasn't ready to take that step, which was strange for him, he always tried to take advantage of a girl that threw themself.

"So you want me, now why would I want you?"

"Well, you certianly aren't very gentlemanly now are you?"

Ninette smirked slowly, "Well, I think you'll have to keep guessing."

"Why. would. you. want. me?" she repeated the questions slowly, pretending to think about it. "Well... I don't know... I suppose it depends on the kind of person you are? You seem to flirt freely enough... so are you just a boy playing at a man's game, or maybe, just maybe... are you capable of being a man?"

Collin leaned back and laughed "You have no idea how much of a gentleman I can be. I open doors, and pull out chairs. Maybe I choose when I want to be a gentleman." Collin thought about his day out with Kassidy, he was very much a gentleman that day.

Collin laughed when she said that she would keep him guessing, but there was no guessing he wasn't stupid he knew how girls like this worked. He knew that she wanted him to think she was interested long enough to get him hooked and drop him on his face. Unfortunately for her that will never happen.

Collin had to smirk 'whos the one playing the game' he thought to himself.

"Flirting is fun, it make me see who is truly wants me for who I am, and not just a toy to be played with."

She just smiled as he talked about being a gentleman. She could care less about that. She had just been making small talk, amusing herself, but now she was bored of all this talk.

They both knew what she wanted from this day.

"Now, now -I'm not playing you like a toy," she grinned slightly, as she leaned closer. "We both know what I want out of this. You're a smart guy Collin - I know, that you know, I don't want anything more than a little ... fun."

Sliding herself closer, reaching over to wrap her fingers into his hair, giving a slight smirk, she pulled him closer, and locked her lips onto his.

Collin had to laugh when she comment that he wasn't a play thing. "Ninette, my dear when you want to play with me for a little fun, that's exactly what a toy is."

Collin listened to her talk about using him just for a little fun, and Collin was always prepared for anything. He could already tell that she wanted him to kiss her, but there was no power in him kissing her because she was expecting it. Collin preferred his girls to be caught off guard.

Collin smirked when he saw her get closer wrapping her fingers in his hair as she pulled him closer, then they locked lips. Collin was kissing her back and even deepened the kiss a little then had to come up for air.

"Well that was nice." He smirked "But I hate to inform you Kassidy was a much better kisser than that." Collin almost laughed

Collin was not about to be made a fool of from this girl.

Smirking at the thought of what they were going to accomplish, Julian held on the Lisette's hand as they strode through the corridors, ears pricked for the sound of voices that belonged to the duo they were searching for. "This is going to be so much fun." he grinned, whispering into her ear. "When I see the look on Raven's face..."

He sighed happily, grinning from ear to ear. And he was still grinning as they found Michael, though it quickly morphed into a smirk as he caught the wounded expression on his face. Waving at him innocently, he resisted the urge to laugh.

Grinning at Lisette as they finally found Ninette and Collin, he pulled his hand free to open the door. Finding it locked, he pulled out his wand, quickly unlocking it with a muttered spell.

"Everything alright in he-" Barging in on them mid-kiss, he smirked slightly, leaning against the doorframe, "Well, well, what do we have here?" twirling his wand around in his hand, he glanced at Lisette, "I think we walked in on something sinful."

Collin was not surprised when Julian and Lisette showed up at the carriage that Ninette and him were in. He figured that this is what Ninette was trying to set him up for. Too bad it wasn't turning out the way they had planned.

Pulling away from Ninette, Collin stood up to look at the two people standing in the door and just had to smirk.

"Well I don't think I would call it sinful, it was a harmless kiss, and I was just informing her that Kassidy is a way better kisser than her. Plus Kassidy doesn't try to use me for her little game."

Collin didn't play these games very well at all, he preferred if the joke was on someone else.

"So if you would excuse me, I will get back to the girl who doesn't throw herself on any guy willing to follow her." Collin smirk and pushed his way past Julian.

Ninette huffed and rolled her eyes. Well wasn't he just a loyal little bugger? So much for this being any fun. This day was just turning out to be as dull as she feared it would be. She should have begged her mother to let her just apparate to school with her.

Still, Ninette wasn't one to give up that easily. She was about to give a snide remark, and possibly kiss the boy agian anyways when the compartment door openned, and none other than Julian waltzed in and she could see Lisette close behind.

The girls lips thinned as she stared at the two. Before she could respond though, Collin completed his rejection by leaving completely.

She was really starting to hate this Blondie.

Once they were alone agian, she leveled her glare back on to Julian, her rage bubling up even more. If he had just interupted her with Collin that was one thing. But now his choice of damn blondie over her was witnessed too - and that made things even worse.

"Rousseau," she said level, her eyes sparking - fire, not as dangerous as ice.

Raising an eyebrow, Julian watched Raven carefully, "You told Ninette Fontaine that and she didn't kill you? Why don't I believe you?"

Shaking his head, he moved out of the blond's way regardless. Flicking his gaze over to Ninette, he grinned at her sheepishly, waving innocently as he leaned back against the door frame, "Ninette, didn't expect to find you here. Thought you two were taking a walk."

The moment they opened the door, Lisette had to bite down hard on her lip to keep from laughing. She regained her composure and shook her head sorrowfully, her hand on her chest, "And in a carriage compartment! I'm shocked."

Her eyes widened as Collin left the room, finally unable to keep the smile off her face, "Oops... I think we hurt his feelings..."

Ninette gave Julian a look, which should have been warning enough, but Lisette wasn't quite done yet, "Besides, once we saw you in here it was our job to see what was going on." She put on her best responsible face, "We can't have people doing scandalous things in empty compartments. It's bad for the school's image."

Ninette could care less about Collin and his pathetic attempts to keep hold of his pride at this point. So he was above being 'played' with was he?

Fine, then. She'd deal with the too proud Raven later.

Right now, she ahd her ... friends to deal with.

"And I thought you actually had a brain, Rousseau," she commented airly and with a shrugm, "I guess we both thought wrong now didn't we. Such a shame."

"Oh like you and my sloppy-seconds... Micheal was it Lissy? I'm sure that didn't shame the school name at all... after all, he was probably too busy thinking it such a shame you weren't me anyways."

Lisette tapped her finger against her leg. She was not going to let Ninette get to her. After all, she considered herself a mature, sophisticated woman, and she wouldn't be able to face herself unless she could fight gracefully.

So instead of clawing the girl's eyes out like she felt so drawn to do, she simply laughed, "My dear, Michael's just a toy! But when you try to corrupt someone like poor, simple Collin... Well, that's what's shameful. "

She smirked, "Actually, you'd be surprised what Michael was saying about you earlier. He didn't seem so upset that you weren't there."

"Yes," Julian said dryly, rolling his eyes at Ninette, crossing his arms. Merlin, as great of a friend as she could be, she was more than a little crazy. "Of course I have no brain. Not knowing that you and that Raven changed your minds makes me an idiot." Raising an eyebrow, he smirked, "I think that says more about what goes on - or what doesn't - in your head."

Tapping his fingers against the doorframe, he watched Ninette and Lisette, wondering if he'd actually stop them if they started attacking each other.

"Oh of course it is, it perfectly shameful to corrupt Mr. High-and-Mighty," Ninette rolled, "And Micheal's just bitter about being dropped like yesterdays garbage. The boy has no imagination - glad to be rid of him."

She looked Lisette over, "I'm sure you'll get along perfectly."

"Oh not knowing that doesn't make you an idiot Rousseau, just being you makes you an idiot."

Raising an eyebrow, Julian smirked, his eyes flashing dangerously at Ninette, "Now, now, I don't think it's all that fair to call me an idiot." Pushing himself off of the compartment doorframe, he advanced towards her, "Isn't there some sort of expression about this? The kettle calling the pot black?" Something like that, he shrugged.

"Anyways," he continued, "What I'm saying is that I can't even be offended by that, because it's coming from you of all people. You have to admit it eventually Nine. You're about a thousand times worse than me."

Lisette bit her lip, trying to think of a decent comeback, but Rosseau responded before she could have the chance to. She smirked as Julian talked. He was such a clever boy.

"Yes," she said in agreement, "You really do need to work on your insults Ninette. They're more endearing than anything. I think you might be out of practice."

Ninette growled. Mostly because she knew they were right. She was... she didn't know what was wrong with her. This whole bloody trip had just gone wrong.

"You know what," she siad shortly, "I think we're done here."

Without even letting them chose to leave theirselves she pulled out her wand, "Flippendo."

Hand on the door waiting to close it behind them as the spell did what she wished, and knock them both back out the door.

Smirking at Lisette, he glanced back at Ninette, about to respond before she caught him off gaurd, knocking him back out of the carriage. His head hitting the carriage wall, his eyes widened slightly, and he slumped down into a sitting position, rubbing the back of his head.

Hissing softly, Julian glared at Ninette, resisting the urge to attack her. Swearing under his breath, he glanced over at Lisette, "I think now would be a good time to retreat."
