Well, I know this has been done a million times before, but I needed a new muse, so I decided to do this one.
Summary: An unpopular girl and a super hot popular guy get sucked into Tortall after becoming friends. Cause? Kyprioth. Read and review!
..Lady Merlin..
Lily (A/N: no, not Lily Potter, though it would be a good idea…) sat on the bench furthest away from all the rest. She nibbled her sandwich and thought. She seemed to be doing quite a lot of that now-a-days. She looked up, only to see some of the popular clique walking towards her. Two 'uber hot' guys and two 'sexy' girls. The girls looked totally blonde. As in, they were blonde, but they looked 'It' too. One of the guys looked as if he'd been dragged there by the other. Oh what now? She moaned. She wasn't exactly very popular. And she was their favourite target…
"So, what'cha reading lily-poo?" asked one of the girls in a simpering sweet voice.
Oh not THIS again.
"None of your shit." Lily responded coolly, and sounding much calmer than she felt. Three of them looked at each other and –ooh-ed while the last boy simply looked embarrassed.
"AW, she's grown up, cussing like her daddy!" Lily flinched. That was a touchy topic… Her dad was an old drunk. Well, he hadn't always been like that, but when his wife died, it had gone from bad to worse.
The boy snatched her book and read the cover. "s-s-s-ilver s-t-torm."
"hmm, no shit Sherlock." Lily said amused.
"You think you're so big do you? You're nothing but a low down slut!" The second girl said. And Lily grinned. She was in luck. The girls didn't seem to have realised, but suddenly, somebody tapped her shoulder. She spun around. "Oh, it's just you Mrs. Keith."
"Yes, it's just me, and did I happen to hear one of you using a cuss word?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "Follow me, would you Liana?" she asked the blonder girl. And when Liana shot a glance at her fellow companion, Gina, she followed without a word. Lily thought, how good it is to be a teachers pet. She wasn't exactly perfect, but she was sweet and smart. The other boy stalked off, leaving her to read, but someone tapped on her shoulder. She looked up slightly startled.
"Erm, hey, I know you probably hate us all now, but I wanted to say sorry on behalf of my friends." He said in a pleasant baritone. Lily studied him. She had never noticed, but he was cute. He had black hair falling elegantly over his sky eyes. His skin was a fair beige. He was unblemished and his mouth held a shadow of a smile.
"Well, I did, but you changed that. Thank you. I never knew you lot were human. Now, I have a higher opinion about you. And just something for you to ponder, are you sure they are your friends. You seem decent, but they…" she trailed off. "I gotta go now. Bye."
"I hope you know this doesn't mean we're friends!" he yelled after her. She hid a grin and turned back, smiling slightly. She gave a small joking bow and turned away again. She knew he wasn't all bad. He just wanted to fit in, just like she had. Now she didn't care.
He looked at her confident stride and was pleased. She seemed sure of herself, confident. She didn't have all that make up and clothes to hide under. She was happy, just as she was. It was nice, you know, to have a different type of person as your friend. He gazed at her dark red hair, blowing gently in the breeze and was startled out of his thoughts by a yell from behind him, "Carlos!"
Well, how was that? I hope it wasn't boring. Lol. I made Lily kinda like Lily Potter, in looks and stuff, but erm, well, what can I say? Please Read and Review! REVIEW!
