Uncalled-for Jealousy

by an anonymous geek and BEA2688

"Alanna. . .ALANNA!"

The newly made knight suddenly realized that she was being spoken to. Everyone in the room was staring at her, and her face turned beet red.

"What?" she asked.

"You really should pay more attention at these meetings, Alanna," Jon pointed out.

Alanna looked at her former knight-master in anger. Everyone frowned at her, except for her friends who were struggling to keep their laughter in check.

She nudged Jon in the ribs, and he laughed, which spurned her anger even more. She stood up and stomped out of the room. Of course, Jon made the mistake of following her. When she realized she was being followed, she said, "Are you stalking me? You'd think you'd have enough sense to stay put. Especially since those meetings are so important to you!"

"Alanna, I don't see why you're angry at me!" Jon said back.

"You don't see? Then you're blind, which compliments your stupidity."

He stood there, open-mouthed, shocked at how she had suddenly gone from friendly to insulting.

She left him like that, but he yet again mad the mistake of following her. She did not stop for him this time. He hurried to catch up with her, but it didn't take much, since her strides were much shorter than his.

When he reached her, he said, "Come on, Alanna. Don't you think this is a bit juvenile?" She neither answered him nor looked at him. When they had reached her room, she turned to him and said, "I demand I duel."

"What?" he asked in surprise.

"You heard me."

"YOU want to duel ME?" he asked, eyebrows raised in mirth.

"I'll see you in two hours' time at the practice courts. I want this to be private. It would be best to leave your stupidity behind." With that, she walked into her room and slammed the door in his face.

A/N: I know, I know. it's a bit extreme. But be easy on me and my friend. It's gunna get humorous (we hope) in later chapters when Alanna gets drunk. Please review, even if it's just to say "HI!". Please don't get off this page without reviewing. I want to see how many people are reading this. Thanks!
