Last stop (Colton)

Tessa stepped off the train onto the platform and looked around. She saw a bunch of people hustling around trying to get to their trains and find their families. She was not meeting anyone at her stop, so she grabbed her luggage and made her way to exit. As she turned a corner, she bumped into someone. She quickly apologized, but then did a double take.

Colton was doing his best to navigate Scotland, but he was still having a bit of trouble figuring out what was where. Apparating hardly helped when you had no idea where you were supposed to apparate to. So at the moment, he thought it might be easier to take the train to where he needed to go. He was trying to read the train route when a train let off a few passengers, and a crowd came past. Colton ignored them mostly, until one bumped into him. It was a young woman with dark hair. "No, no, don't worry about it," he replied quickly, before looking back at the map. He thought the girl would just be on her way, but didn't notice that she'd stopped to get a better look at him.

Tessa smiled at the guy she bumped into and held out her hand, "Hi. Im Tessa." She noticed a map in his hand, "Can I help you find where youre trying to go?" She knew him form somewhere. She just didnt know where. "Where ya heading?" She eyed the map but got no clues from it. She smiled again and blushed a light shade of pink. SHe giggled nervously and tried to rack her brain for where she might know him from.

Colton glanced down at the girl when she acknowledged him again, rather than leaving like he'd expected her to. She was introducing herself. Still a bit guarded, Colton offered her a smile and reached out to grasp the hand that she offered him, shaking it. "I'm Colton," he told her. "Nice to meet you." He sighed as she asked if he needed help - asking for directions was really starting to get old. But Britain was much more complicated than the town that he'd come from, and navigating through busy, crowd filled cities wasn't a talent that Colton possessed. "Er, I'm trying to get to London - King's Cross Station," he told her. "I'd rather not take the wrong train and have to find my way back." Normally, Colton would just apparate, but he'd never been to London before. And you couldn't apparate somewhere that you've never been - how would you know where to go?!

"Colton white?" She knew that name. "Ok, its driving me crazy. How do I know you?" She finally asked. The frustration was getting to her and she just couldnt take it. Then he mentioned he was trying to get to Kings Cross Station. Tessa nodded and racked her brain for the schedule in her memory. "I believe you want to take the L2 train at around 12:30. It should take you over to Kings Cross." She smiled softly at the boy and she eyed him up and down. He looked like a movie star. Maybe that was where she knew him from. A movie of some sort.

"Er, yeah, that's me," he admitted, though he was a bit glad that this girl still couldn't quite place his name. It meant that she wasn't going to be some crazy fanatic once she found out, because she clearly wasn't a big quidditch fan. "I play quidditch," he explained, though he didn't elaborate. There was no reason to tell her that he played international quidditch, or that he played for Ireland. "So you might've seen me at a match or something." Or on a magazine. Or in the paper. Oh, but she actually seemed to know the train schedule! That was helpful! "That's really helpful, actually, thanks!" he replied instantly, giving her a smile "I'm not from around here, and so far I've spent most of my time getting lost."

Tessa smiled, happy that she was able to help him. She was surprised he was a famous quidditch player, he seemed so young. She smiled and wondered if he would be going to Ariella Capulets Halloween party. She was hired as security so unfortunately she would be working most of the night. She looked around and realized they were blocking traffic. "You know, your train doesnt leave for a good half hour or so. You wanna go get a coffee or something to kill time?"
