	Re: Lisette/Jake

When Lisette's hand grabbed his shirt, Jake almost reacted automatically with a defensive Tae Kwon Do move, but he stopped himself when he saw who had hold of him. He'd been caught...the jig was up, etc. He had obviously behaved like a rank amateur in his excitement to discover something exciting about Lisette.

"Firm grip you have there, Lisette", he tried to charm her with a huge white smile. With a shrug, he tried to down play what he had done, "You know me, i was just playing around. Sorry if I scared you." This he followed with the puppy dog eyes.

"Scare me? Hardly." She let go of his shirt and pressed her fist against her hip. She flattened her lips into an unimpressed line. "But I don't really like it when people try to intrude on my privacy. Y'got that? What the hell's so interesting about me, anyway? I'm sure there are other people far more interesting than I at this school."

	Re: Lisette/Jake

"Glad I didn't scare you, Lisette", Jake tried to pour on the charm, "I promise I wasn't trying to see anything too private. Nothing pervy or anything." He grinned, letting, what he hoped were, disturbing visuals sink in.

Flattening out his shirt where the tough girl crinkled it, he assured her, "You really are far more interesting than you realize", his fair face flushed a bit, "Truthfully, I was hoping to see a little Voodoo, first hand."

	Re: Lisette/Jake

Although Lisette was not immune to charm, she was not interested in boys. Even very pretty blond boys. She ignored his attempt at charm and shook her head. "If you want to see some of my voodoo, all you have to do is ask."

She rolled her eyes a bit. "The rituals are generally secret, but there are some you could see. And sneaking about on my parents' property? Not a good idea. My dad's a bit wary about boys around the house. Got it?"

	Re: Lisette/Jake

His attempts at charming the bayou girl were falling flat, which was a bit disappointing, but he rallied himself and simply was pleased that she didn't seem to actually hate him.

"Ask?", he repeated, incredulously. "You would show me the real stuff? Not some silly act made up for tourists?"

Jakob's very active imagination created an entire nightmarish scenario representing what would have happened had Lisette's father found him snooping around."Oh, ummm, Got it! You won't tell him, right?!"

	Re: Lisette/Jake

"Sure. There are some things you wouldn't be able to see, but I could show you a couple rituals. Maybe when we get back to school." The kid wasn't so bad, actually. She sort of liked him. But she wasn't about to tell him that.

"Nah, I won't tell him. As long as it doesn't happen again." She let the warning hang in the air for a bit then looked around. "So I guess this is supposed to be a party..."

	Re: Lisette/Jake

Why oh why did she have to say there were things that he wouldn't be able to see? Now he just HAD to know what went on back there in that bayou! Maybe he could look up some kind of invisibility spell or at least a spell that might camoflage him. "Sure, Lisette! That would be great!", he replied to her offer, enthusiastically.

Jake was relieved that she wasn't going to tell her father; the last thing he needed was a Voodoo curse on his head. "Sure looks like a party to me!", he grinned widely, "Damn, he must have invited the whole school!"

Scanning the crowd, Jake recognized just about everyone, "Would you like a drink?", he asked his lovely companion. He needed to mingle now that he was here and he could do that on the way to the bar. Maybe if Lisette had a few drinks, she would warm to him...or maybe...she didn't care for boys at all! He smiled. That had to be it! Whew! He was afraid he'd lost his touch. Hormones aside, he still hoped she might want to be his friend; let's face it, she was still madly interesting and still wicked hot!

	Lisette/Jake

Lis leveled another unamused look his way. He was a little too enthusiastic, and she had seen the look in his eye when she told him there were things he wouldn't be able to witness. "You remember what I said about sneaking around my house. I wouldn't want you to end up in the swamp. There are lots of hungry gators in the swamp." She lived right next to the murky waters, her house bordered the bayou and even had a dock with a boat that was really their only transportation to and from New Orleans unless they used magic.

Lisette wasn't as excited about the crowd as Blondie seemed to be, so she mrely nodded and then shrugged when he asked if she wanted something to drink. "Maybe I'll just have some water." She didn't drink carbonated beverages, so soda was out, and she was pretty sure getting tanked would be a bad idea. The last thing she needed was to give some additional fodder or ammunition to the crowd who enjoyed making her life a living nightmare.

Standing near the door was a surefire way to get noticed, though, so she walked toward the kitchen with Jake. "You seem to know my name, but I don't think we've ever met." She recognized his face, and who could forget it with that great pair of lips, but she had never actually exchanged words with him that she could remember.

	Re: Lisette/Jake

Jake held his hands up, palms forward, "I here what you're sayin', pretty lady! No gators for me...", he winked, "...unless they come in the form of shoes or a belt, that is."

"Water? Really?", he asked, surprised. Jake expected some strange exotic concoction from a Voodoo girl out of the bayou. "Water it is", he agreed, with a shrug.

Not sure why she was following him, but pleased for her company, Jakob slowed his pace and walked beside her. "Oh, ummm, haven't we met? Are you sure?", he tried to cover, "Well, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Jakob Frost. I'm a Junior in House Rienzi." He smiled brightly and offered his hand to her.

	Lisette/Jake

Satisfied that he wouldn't try anything else, at least not for a while, she relaxed a little. "I'm just not sure what they have to drink and water seems a safe bet." All she needed was to get roofied or something. She knew that there were kids at school who could get their hands on illegal substances.

"I'm pretty sure." She nodded as he introduced himself. "I think we have some classes together. In fact, I think you sit behind me in Transfiguration." Her most hated class. She wrinkled her nose as she said it and then reached for his hand to shake it. She had a good grip and she made eye contact when she was introduced to someone. She might be an introvert, but she was also a salesman.

	Re: Lisette/Jake

"Well, you can't go wrong with water", he admitted. Smiling, he segued her drink preference into another subject altogether, "Speaking of water, do you like to go swimming? When I was a boy, my father used to take us to our beach house on the gulf every Summer." He, of course, was imagining Lisette in the skimpiest of bikinis.

"We DO have some classes together!", he exclaimed, becoming rather animated. "Ugh! Transfiguration is probably my worst class! I mean, the concept is pretty cool. I don't know why I'm struggling with it."

Lisette's hand was quite firm in his own and her eyes were practically obsidian; Jake could feel his pulse begin to quicken as he stared into the mysterious depths of her eyes. "Ummm! Yeah, so here we are", he announced, as they drew up to the group waiting for drinks. He had pulled his hand away from hers before he blushed...or worse; especially, knowing she had no interest in him.

	Re: Lisette/Jake

A dark arch rose over her brow as he posed his question of swimming and then his bragging about going to their "beach house" in the gulf. "Well, that dadburned watering hole done dried up on us and I caint go swimmin' no more," she snarked back. Considering she lived next to aligator infested waters and didn't have a pool, no... she didn't go swimming much.

She was glad when the subject returned to school and Transfiguration. It was her worst class, and clearly Jake didn't have it great there, either. "Me, either. I'm far better with charms and potions. If I find anyone to help me, I'll send them your way, too."

Her eyes slid away from Jake's face when he started getting awkward. She wanted to laugh, but she kept herself in check and just tucked her hands into the crooks of her elbows as she crossed her arms under her breasts. They stepped up in line and she took the glass of water as it was handed to her, sipping at it.

"Well, it was nice to meet you, but I should probably let you get to some of your friends. Have a good time. I'm sure I'll see you around once school starts again." She gave him a thin smile and then melted back into the crowd.

	Re: Lisette/Jake

Jakob knit his brows, as Lisette went through her sarcastic reply to his question about swimming. What was her damage? With a smile he offered, "Well, you are always welcome to come and use our cement pond, whenever you want." He chuckled afterward to let her know he was just kidding around; he certainly didn't want any hard feelings.

"Thanks!", he was truly grateful for her offer of help if she found any, with Transfiguration. "Defense against the dark arts seems to be my best class. Not sure why, but I just really get into it, y'know?"

Wow! he was getting the brush off! Well, it was probably for the best. He and Lisette were so different and it was obvious she wasn't into him, so he needed to let her go, so he could find someone to connect with. "Have a fantastic night, Lisette! Nice stalking you!", he teased. He watched her go and couldn't help but appreciate the swing of her hips as she did.
