"Uh, never." Paige replied, throwing a leg over her broom. "But this probably won't be the last now that I know how good it feels." she added with a grin, watching Jackie push off the ground with her broom. Paige did the same and circled a few times before hovering to wait for Andi and Jackie to do something.
"Yes, I'm always following Andi around, participating in rule-breaking activities. It's become a fun habit." said Jackie, smiling in Andi's direction with a little wink.

Andi chuckled and kicked off with her broom. She looked around and found the other two swooping about in the air a little ways away. She tilted her brom slightly and it raced in their direction, catching up within a few moments. "Paige, you're not nervous at all are you? I remember the first time Jen and I snuck out. Both of us were so terrified that we would get caught that all we could do was hide in a closet until the class ended. Then Roan came along, I think he's the reason we're both so corrupted." Andi grinned and did a few flips in the air, her heart was racing with excitement and all she could think about was getting out the quaffle and practicing.

Paige circled once more and then hovered closer to Andi and Jackie. "I'm a bit nervous, but its more of the excited nervous kind of thing. I'll be okay." she said, her eyes portraying the excitement she just professed.
"So, are we going to get the quaffle and stuff, or what?" demaned Jackie with a grin. She was itching to speed over to the Broom closet to get the chest containing her favorite golden ball that gave her stress and thrill all at the same time

"Well, you're doing better than us, that's for sure." Andi laughed. She shook her head in semi-embarassment at her and Jen's first time out of class. "Of course, it's always exciting. Especially when the teachers are out. That's the best. Almost got caught the other day by Professor D. She probably wouldn't have minded though. It's the older one's you have to watch for." Andi prattled on. She had a little too much experience. "Well, if Paige is up for it, than I'm game. What position do you play anyways?"

Paige nodded while listening to Andi. "I'll try and remember that. Sounds like you really know your stuff." she said, while following them to the broom closet. When asked what position she played, Paige kind of blushed with embarrassment. "I, uh, don't really know actually. Drake plays Chaser, so sometimes he makes me keeper or beater. I've tried chaser with him soemtimes, too. Never tired seeker, though." she replied, looking to Jackie. "You can have that spot all to yourself." she added with a smile, knowing Jackie was the seeker.

"I guess I do this too often huh? I almost fel bad about it, my dad tries so hard to keep me in line, but then I get out her on my broom and realize that there's no reason to feel bad." Andi shrugged. The way she saw it, Potions was something she'd never use, but she had a career ahead of her in Quidditch. She could easily pick up a spot on one of the less important teams out there. "Well, it's all up to you. You're the guest, you pick your spot. I'll take whatever."

Paige nodded again. "Um, okay. I guess I'll try Keeper." she replied, landing on the ground with her feet as the reached the broom closet. Jackie swung her leg over her broom and walked over to the shed. After a minute or two, she returned with the chest and took out the quaffle, snitch, and bat. "Do you want the bludgers out today?" she asked Andi.

Andi nodded with excitement. "That's great. That way I can show off a bit more than usual." Andi grinned as Jen brought over the box. The box was Andi's favorite thing to see, it meant that she would soon be playing a game of Quidditch. "Hm, how about just one of them? I can handle a bat and the Quaffle at the same time.. I think. If not, Madame Pomfrey hasn't seen me in a few days. I'm sure she misses me."

Jackie laughed with a shrug, "Oookay, if you insist." she said, unbuckling the strap that held down the bludger. She handed Andi the bat and then took out the snitch for herself, setting it on her palm. Its wings fluttered and then it was gone. Paige watched, and then caught the quaffle when Jackie threw it at her. She had to lunge for it because she through it way to the left. "Nice start." said Jackie and mounted her broom again. "Ready to start?"

Andi was keyed up and ready to go as soon as the Quaffle was out of the box. "Let's do this." She said as she fidgeted on her broom. "You guys go get ready, I'll let one of these bad boys out." She suggested as she motioned to the bludgers. As soon as Jen and Paige were out of the way, Andi let the bludger go. It instantly tried to attack Andi, but with a hefty blow, it was flying in the other direction and Andi was streaking towards the goal posts. "Think you can handle it Paige?" She asked as she awaited the Quaffle, all the while keeping her sights on Jackie to make sure she was on top of her game.

Paige and Jackie flew over to the pitch while Andi took out one of the bludgers. Jackie left Paige waiting for Andi in the middle while she flew around slowly, looking for her golden friend. "I'll try.." replied Paige as Andi came up behind her. She threw the quaffle to her and then flew over to the goal posts. "I'm ready when you are." she called and then hovered, looking around for a second to take everything in. This was her first time on a real pitch.

Andi grinned and grabbed the Quaffle effortlessly form the air. She watched Paige for a moment, trying to find her weakest side, but couldn't wait much longer and sped towards the goal. She was headed towards the right goal, but the second before she took the shot, she switched paths and threw it towards the left goal. She was somewhat hoping the trick would get the Quaffle through the hoop, but she also hoped that Paige would show off some. Andi turned around before the Quaffle had reached the goal, and smacked the bludger away from herself again.

Paige watched Andi, her eyes growing tense. She looked so much like Drake sitting there so effortlessly on her broom, looking like a pro. She swallowed hard when Andi started to throw the quaffle. When the fake came, Paige was almost expecting it, though. Most likely because that was Drake's favorite thing to do with her. He always chuckled when she would leap to the right, and watch the quaffle soar gracefully into the left hoop. So, when the somewhat familiar start played before her eyes, Paige switched gears as quick as she could and lunged to the left, bashing the rusty colored ball with the end of her broom.

Andi spun around and caught the Quaffle, a huge grin on her face. "Perfect. You've definately got some potential. Here, take over as Chaser for awhile. We're looking for another Chaser to replace one of the older students we lost." Andi tossed the Quaffle back to Paige and took to circling the goal posts. She wasn't the best Keeper, but she could hold her own. She kept the bat handy just in case the bludger came back.

Paige caught the quaffle and rolled it around in her hands a bit. Then, she flew away from the goal posts about twenty feet and then turned around to speed back towards them. She threw the quaffle to the right goal post. But, having to dodge a bludger, she didn't see whether she made it in or not.
