Summary: The kids at higschool
Unbeta'd so the mistakes are all mine.
High school
The richer kids were always sat on the school steps, sniggering if someone like Rodney walked past or any nerds who were stupid enough to approach the gorgeous Teyla. The normal nerd group were heading up the steps, a young girl named Elizabeth lead them, John tried not to stare at her, he didn't know why but lately he had the hots for her. He still didn't get why she wad a nerd because, in his opinion, she was beautiful, her black her gently curled around her shoulders and her figure was "perfect" the word slipped out of his moth.
"What?" asked a young guy called Ronon, his long dreadlocks pulled back, John stuttered and finally came up with
"It was a sarcastic remark, I just realizes we have...err...PE first" Ronon looked confused and said
"But you like PE" John looked away with a look of 'oh shit' on his face, praying that nobody had seen his stare at Elizabeth.
"Billy no mates approaching" said a lad called Carson
"Not again" said a girl named Laura ad she ran her hands through Carson's hair.
"Oh God" said burying her head in her hands.
"Teyla!" shouted the young boy known as Kavanaugh.
"I'll see you guys in gym" said Teyla grabbing her stuff and racing up the steps, leaving Kavanaugh solo.
The others arrived in gym, Teyla was already running around the playground for her 6 compulsory laps.
Laps were finished and all the class in a group around the teacher. Today they had baseball. The teacher split them into two teams. John threw the ball as Ronon and the lot, along with a couple of nerds, stood in the field. Elizabeth smacked the ball hard sending it reasonably hard, sending Teyla and Ronon running up the field. Teyla grabbed the ball as it fell in mid air, eliminating poor Elizabeth, she looked pissed off but lightly handed the bat to Radek who hit yet another decent ball, running to base one and then to two.
One sweaty hour later Teyla and Ronon were walking across the grounds to the main building, when she was called to the office. She arrived with Ronon in tow, her dad, Liam Tegan, stood at the door looking close to tears.
"What's wrong dad?" she said going over and hugging him
"It's your mum, the cancer..." he stuttered "she's gone". Teyla's face dropped as tears formed in her eyes, she went back to hugging him as tears freely streamed from her eyes.
Everyone stood in black as the rain pored down onto there faces, Teyla slowly walked up to the coffin and placed a bouquet of white lilies on it and returning back to where she had been next to Ronon, he body leaning into him as more teras ran down her soft cheeks. His parents behind them among other very close friends.
All sat in silence on Laura's bed, John decided to break the silence and said "You're 16th birthday's coming up this Saturday Teyla, what do you want to do for it?" a short silence reigned over
"I don't know, I was hoping for something small, maybe just go for dinner together or something?"
"OK, yeah sure" replied John
"I can't believe you're finally going to be 16 like the rest of us! May 28th 2006, and finally all of us are 16!" exclaimed Carson "But it's not that special, well some things are" he took Laura's hand and smiled
"Just two days" said Teyla not truly animated "I wish my mum could be here though" tears began to swell up in her eyes once more, Ronon took her in his arms and Carson went over and cuddled her two, turning it into a group hug, tears streaming from her eyes, "I love you all"
"OK Sunday night...where do you want to go Teyla" asked John pulling away like the others.
"How about the steak house?" asked Teyla clearing tears from her cheeks
"OK, it'll be my present"
"Are you sure all of us?"
"My parents'll pay, we've got plenty"
"OK" Teyla nodded looking slightly happier than she had before. Not just because of John but because she felt some new feelings between her and Ronon sort of sparking around her. They had always been BEST friends and she had had the hots for him before but this, this was different.
Teyla and Ronon arrived at the restaurant and asked for the reserved table under the name Sheppard. The two sat down and realized that the table was layed for 7 instead of 5, she commented on this to Ronon but he simply stated that John was bringing a date this still didn't clarify why there were 7 seatings but she let it go.
"I hope I'm not late" said a gentle voice from behind them
"Oh my God!" exclaimed Teyla jumping out of her seat and hugging the fella "Aiden! How did you know?"
"John called and begged me to come!"
"I can't believe you came from sun America to dull boring England!"
"Well it was worth it" replied Aiden, Ronon stood up and went to introduce himself when Teyla said
"This is Ronon"
"You're boyfriend? You make a cute couple"
"No, we're just good friends" said Teyla "Ronon this is Aiden" she then turned to look at Aiden and said "Don't worry you know everyone else". Aiden took his seat and said
"I'm sorry about your mum", Laura and Carson appeared, then after all had ordered drinks, John arrived with... Elizabeth.
"Sorry we're late" said John trying to break the silence that had broken out "This is Elizabeth"
"We know who she is John" said Carson
"Be nice OK?"
"We're always nice" argued Laura
"Yeah just 'cos we have different interests, it was no reason for you lot to start insulting us! The films have got it all around the wrong way..." retaliated Carson, Elizabeth turned to leave but John put his arm around her waist not letting her leave
"Be nice" he said again this time in a slightly sterner voice. He and Elizabeth sat down and gestured everyone to start chatting again.
After there meal her and Ronon were walking back to there houses which were next door, but they were a good deal out of town so they got to have a long conversation about Elizabeth and John.
"She's quite nice" said Teyla breaking the pleasant silence
"Who? Elizabeth?"
"Yeah"
"I guess" replied Ronon "Well yeah she is, she's got a cute smile and John seems to like her" he paused and said "alot"
"I agree, I wonder if this has been going on long..."
"I don't think so she seemed pretty awkward and un-at-ease"
"Do you think her and her lot will start hanging around with us?"
"I hope not I can't stand Rodney nor Zalenka and don't even get me started on Steven" Teyla giggled
"I agree, I hope we don't end up central for everyone! We could end up with Novak and Kate or Sora!" they carried on walking in silence
"So what's the story on Aiden? Are you to exes or something?"
"Don't be stupid! He's like a brother to me!" she paused "What's it to you anyway?" she prayed to get the answer she wanted instead of what she wanted she got a
"Just curious" looking up at his house in the distance
"When I get back, I'm just going to slob out... do you want to join me?"
"OK" he replied thinking over how he had simply said just curious.
The two sat on the sofa watching Calender Girls. A tear centered in her eye while the watched the funeral scene reminding her do much of her mothers, Ronon took her hand and squeezed it, she lent into him missing her mum everywhere she went she was reminded.
Ronon lay leaning against the armrest barely awake Teyla next to him also barely awake, as Bring It On played on the TV.
"How are your parents Ronon?" asked Liam walking into the room, Ronon replied gruffly
"They're fine, my mum still a bit down, she keeps thinking she'll come over and see her best friend and then..." he trailed of with the thought "What about you? How are you holding up?"
"I'll survive, I'm going to bed, the spare rooms ready if you want it, but you can both stay there if you want"
"Thanks" replied Ronon
"Night Dad" said Teyla chocking back the tears that had formed from just hearing talk on her mum. He left the two alone.
"Teyla" said Ronon
"Yes" she replied, opening her eyes
"I have a present for you"
"I said no presents" she replied whilst sitting up
"I know but believe me you want this" he took a tiny box from his pocket, still lying down he handed her the box "Happy 16th Birthday" Teyla opened the tiny box inside sat a Celtic cross on a silver chain, that her mother had promised her a tear appeared in here eye "You're Dad said that your mum had promised this, so when i asked him what to get you his said to get you the necklace"
"Thank-you" she said bending over to kiss him on the cheek, but Ronon turned his head to catch her lips, she pecked him on the lips and went to give him another kiss when she herd someone coming down the stairs "Oh shit" she said going back to the way she had been lying, leaning on Ronon her hand next to her head touching his chest through his slightly open shirt. The necklace clutched in her other hand, she began to doze of as she herd her dad creep past them. He placed a blanket over the two friends thinking they were deep in sleep when both heads were spinning.
The phone rang waking Teyla from her sleep, she leaned over Ronon and picked it up off the floor and answered it
"Hello?"
"Hey! Teyla? It's John"
"Yeah, what?" said Teyla a little grumpily, Ronon began to sit up noticing that Teyla was half on top of him
"We're all heading into town, you want to come?"
"Everything will be shut it's Sunday"
"It's sales, remember? The shops don't shut during sales time!"
"I'll just asked Ronon"
"Ronon's there?"
"Well he is my friend" she moved the phone from her ear and pressed it against her shoulder "Do you want to go into town?"
"Yeah sure" replied Ronon gruffly, she told John and hung up, Teyla got up and went to leave the phone to charge "Well, I'm going to go next door to my house and have a shower, and I'll see you later"
"Ronon, I'm sorry about last night I don't know what came over me!"
"Don't worry about it, now I think I know how you really feel about me" she blushed and looked at the floor "and I know exactly how you feel" Teyla looked up and smiled at him and he breezed past her and out the door. She felt a little annoyed wishing that she could have all the fire and passion he could give her.
Later the two of them were heading into town in a pleasant silence "Don't tell them please" said Teyla breaking the silence
"Tell who, what?" he asked bewildered
"You know the others, don't tell that we're...you know what I mean"
"As far as I'm concerned we're the same as we always wee except now I can touch without wishing I could have all of you"
"How long have you..." Teyla paused searching for the right words "liked me?" she finished off
"A while, it's been stronger these past few weeks"
"Same" replied Teyla with a smile
They saw the others in the distance and she smiled broadly, to her surprise Elizabeth was also there"
Later after some intense shopping the girls met up with the boys for lunch. They sat in McDonald's, Teyla and Ronon sat next to each other, John was opposite Teyla, they were talking about the trip to Spain with school which was just over a week away, but Ronon was making it very difficult he had his hand placed around her back, and was slowly stroking her back in a teasing manner, making her concentration levels zilch, she stood up and said "I've got to go to a newsagents" she walked out and left the others here
"You know I should leave you couples alone" he bounded out of his seat and ran out the door catching Teyla up in no time.
"Ronon" she said in a annoyed voice
"What? I couldn't resist!"
"God if the others notice it'll be so awkward!"
"They won't, besides it's hard to hold myself back!"
"I know what you mean" she said taking his hand.
The next morning she could not get up, she hated Mondays, no matter how much her alarm clock sounded, after a long interval and a shower she managed to wake up. She met Ronon outside and his mum drove them to school and this is when her day got really weird. When they met up in the morning John didn't show, and he was normally first, and Elizabeth wasn't to be seen either, until break when it chucked down with rain, which was always the worst. Teyla and Ronon were in the back hall trying to find a quiet place where they could sit and talk. When they came across a couple who looked VERY familiar, John and Elizabeth were kissing passionately, his hand up her shirt, and both moaning softly.
"Hi guys" said Teyla as the two of them walked past, Elizabeth and John parted lips, with petrified looks on there face ad they watched Teyla and Ronon walk away. They ended up in the playground the only deserted place in the school, that sat at the back on the concrete seats, they chatted for a while when Ronon moved in slowly to kiss her, the bell rang but Ronon looked into her eyes "We should go to class" her face was disappointed but she knew she had to.
Sat in the class thing were perfectly routine, John had decided to come in and him and Elizabeth were making looks from the other side of the room
"JOHN!" shouted Ronon to get his attention "You haven't said a word all day"
"Ye well..I think I love her" the four of them were left gob smacked, they understood how Carson and Laura were in love but John and Elizabeth they barely know each other
"What?" asked Teyla
"I know you love me Teyla but I don't feel the same"
"Are you kidding me?" she exclaimed "I love R.. someone else" fury was building up inside her
"No point hiding it, everyone knows!" he grabbed his books and headed over to Elizabeth's table, Laura, Carson and Ronon looked astonished
"Where's he get that, it's obvious you're in love with R.. no one", there tutor walked into the room and handed them all a peace of paper and said
"Write you're troubles" there tutor wad weird and he just agve random work that no one did! Laura folded hers in half, scribbled something it and tossed it to Teyla
you don't love him right?
course not
i've always known that you love ronon!
what! don't be silly
see it's obvious
fine yes
he also knows doesn't he? he feels the same way doesn't he?
he doesn't know, and i don't know how he feels
At lunch they sat at there table, Laura trying to get as much out of Teyla as possible, she was just ignoring her
"OH come on! Spill" much to Laura's despair John came over and said
"I'm sorry about earlier Teyla"
"bugger off" was her reply "I don't love you because I'm head over heals for someone else, we'll forget about it, but for now leave me alone because I'm very annoyed with you" she got up having finished her lunch and walked out brushing past Ronon
"What did you say to her?" his voice didn't sound normal, it sounded murderous
"I was just apologizing"
"I'm sure you would have carried on accusing if she'd have given you a chance" said Laura, Ronon shook his head and walked out after Teyla.
She was leaning against a heater in the hallway, Ronon walked up to her and lent next to her.
"You know we should go some where just you and me, tonight"
"Don't tell me you've forgotten" Teyla gave him a puzzled look "you-me-our parents dinner ring any bells?"
"Oh shit yeah!" Ronon sniggered "Do I have to dress up nice?"
"You always look nice" he said smiling
"You know what I mean"
"No just normal" Teyla smiled and looked into his emerald eyes.
