Jake saw Aria smile, unable to help himself from smiling back. "Likewise, Aria." He responded, making sure to use her name right away. Jake always felt that when it came to poeple's names it was best to use them as quick and often as possible. The last thing he wanted was for an akward moment to come up later in the conversation where he would be stuck because he didn't know her name. "Thank goodness. I thought that I was going one be the only one new here for a while." He added a sigh of relief for dramatic effect.<br/><br/>Jake turned his head to Natasha with a bewildered look on his face. "Jimmy?" It was hard for him to contajn his laugh afterwards. Nobody called his brother Jimmy. In fact, he knew that James hated being called Jimmy. "Yeah, that's me, but I don't remember him ever mentiong you. Don't feel bad, though. We don't talk much now-a-days anyway." Jake noticed the gesture to the chari, and he quickly sat down, as if the offer had an expiration date. "So... How did you girls end up here at the academy?" He asked the two beauties, turning his head back and forth between them as not to show any favoritism.<br/><br/>James had gotten himself some coffee in the main hall. It was his the third most addicting thing in his life besides cigarettes and girls, and since he had quit, he'd been drinking coffee a lot more frequently. His eyes scanned the room, lookingfor any possible females to talk to. However, it didn't take him long to realize that there was only one table being occupied. He growled at seeing the three, knowing that he had issues with two of them. One he despised and the other he had problems connecting with. Still, part of him was a little worried that his brother was hanging around her, despite the fact that he's the one that passed him over to her in the first place. It must have been his old brotherly instinct returning a bit. Plus, he also wanted to get to know the other girl that was with them. Hopefully he could save the two before Natasha got her claws into them.<br/><br/>The older brother went over to the table and sat down, joining the three without even waiting to hear an invite. "Well, hello Gorgeous." He said to the new girl with his best flirtatious smile as he placed down his coffee on the table. His head turned toward Jake, smiling at him in a way he neglected to do when they saw eachother earlier that day. "Hey Lil' Bro'. Having fun so far?" He asked Jake, who was unsure whether his brother actually wanted to know wht his anwser was going to be. "Um... Actually, yeah..." He told his older brother, reverting yo his shy self. "Good, good. Glad you're opening up for once." James responded, seeming as if he really cared. His attention went back to Aria. "So aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" The older brother asked, taking a sip from his coffee. It was at that moment, Jake knew why his brother was being so casual with him. Part of him didn't want to say anything, knowing the possibilities if he did. Still, it would've been akward if he didn't and he didn't want to bring someone he had just met into his drama. "Aria, this is my older brother... Jimmy." At that moment, James flashed a glare at Jake then Natasha, the first time he had acknowledged her since he sat down. He shook it off to look back at Aria. "Actually, it's James. Nice to meet you, Aria" He said to her, kind of that she wasn't there so he could give his younger brother and his ex a piece of his mind. {{Jimmy? Seriously?!}}
