Arya
It was huge; it was all Arya could see from the window of her car as she pulled up to her new life. King's Landing University, one of the best schools in the country. How she had gotten in was a mystery to her. Maybe it was her father being best friends with the Dean or her older sister being on the honor roll and in ever club, and sororities.
It was intimidating, and the short brunette felt a shaky breath escape her. Come on Arya, it's just a stupid college, full of stupid people. Why should I even care? She questioned herself, and her decisions to come here instead of Winterfell University. It was nice there, close to home, not so damn hot and now nearly as busy as this school, she had never seen anything like it.
"Come on Arya" She heard the familiar voice waking her from her thoughts pulling out her head phones, right after missing the oddly comforting semi rock music. She offered her sister a small smile, to reassure her sister, of what she wasn't sure, but she did it anyway. In the past few months, she had grown closer with her sister, almost fixing the divide that had ripped them apart the last two or three years, They were never terribly close, but it had only gotten worse because of Joffrey, Arya despised the little bastard, everyone joked about she almost killed him when he showed up at her graduation party with Sansa, and grabbed her ass, in front of the whole family.
"You're scared!" Sansa accused with a hint of a giggle. Shit, is it that obvious?
"Am not" She replied, a childishness in her voice. It was a lie, and a bad one, but she didn't want her big sister babying her for her entire College life. "I'm a wolf, wolves are never scared" She repeated the words her father had once said to her when she was young and was sure there was something in her closet and/or under her bed.
Sansa gave an endearing smile at that. "That's my girl" She looked so much like their mother when she said that, patting her sisters cheek gently, only to have Arya push her hand back and roll her eyes. Arya unbuckled her seatbelt, gesturing for her sister to come on, she toyed with her black leather jacket before reaching for the handle of her door, this was it, once she got out, there was no going back, no running home to her parents.
"Wait" Sansa said almost silently, grabbing her sister arm, forcing her to spin back to face her sister. "Joffrey" Her sister mouthed, fear consumed her sister as she saw the stupid blonde prick walking on the side walk maybe 5 feet in front of them. This only encouraged Arya more, reaching for the handle once more, it was her chance, she would get back at him for what he did to her sister she would…
"Arya don't" Her sister commanded, and for some reason it actually stopped Arya, she didn't move a muscle, not until the jerk and the girl he was talking to (Some pretty Brunette with a floral blouse) were out of sight, then Sansa gave her the okay. Finally getting out of the car and stretching. The sun kissed her pale skin, and warmed her dark shoulder length hair.
After Sansa questioning her for twenty minutes to make sure Arya knew where she was going, and where the red head would be staying, she was finally set free. Grabbing a (very) heavy box and her bag, she pretended it was nothing, even if the weight was about to slip from her fingers. The brunette looked around the campus, spinning around once to take it all in, looking for the right way to get to her room, maybe she should have actually listened to Sansa, oh well, too late for that now.
She adjusted the box, chewing her bottom lip as she did so before heading towards one of the dorm buildings, she was almost 56% sure this was the right building, and how she hoped it was, because despite her persistence, the box and the backpack the was hung on her back, were both weighing on her small frame.
Hurrying forward, looking at the sidewalk in front of her, people automatically avoding her, because who wanted to get in the way of a girl on a mission. She was practically running when she slammed into someone else. The impact sent her flying back onto her butt with a loud oof " Hey watch it" She yelled, a fire burning in her grey eyes as she pulled the box off her lap and stood up, brushing herself off. "What's your problem" She added before he could say anything. Peering up at the person before her, she took note of him, he was big in build, had coal black hair, a 5'o clock shadow and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. Her mother and siblings Tully blue eyes were nothing compared to this.
She shook her head, as though shaking the thoughts out of her head. "Sorry I was just…" the boy tried to explain, as he looked up from the stuff he was picking up. "Wait you were the one who wasn't looking where she was going" He said his tone now matching hers. Rolling her eyes Arya grabbed her stuff.
"Well are you blind or something? You could have stepped out of the way!" Arya exclaimed, blowing her bangs out of her eyes with a huff of air. "Or are you just that stupid that you thought I'd just magically pass through you?" She asked when he didn't reply right away.
"Well maybe if I could actually see you, you're not exactly at eye level, Pipsqueak." He challenged, irritation filling her. The boy obviously saw this, and it made him chuckle, only making her madder.
"Well I gotta go, thanks for the entertainment, Kid" He called as he took a side step and passed her. There might as well have been steam blowing out of her ears, Arya was fuming. "It was fun; we should do it again sometime." He yelled, the boy yelled from several feet in front of her.
As if she was just now collecting her thoughts, she turned towards the stupid black haired boy and yelled "I'm not a kid" She had always been boyish and small, it wasn't an uncommon insult, but she had wanted so badly to leave all that back at Winterfell, hell she wanted it gone so bad, she had allowed Sansa to talk her into getting a push up bra, which she looked ridiculous in.
She heard him burst out laughing from all the way down the parking lot. Arya huffed and took a step towards him, wanting to kick him in the nuts, but knew Sansa would lose her mind if she heard of her younger sister getting into a fight on the first day, so instead she turned on her heels and huffed off. This fight would have to wait, but she knew, deep in her gut that she would see the blue eyed boy again.
I think that's a pretty good place to end the first chapter, please please please tell me what you think, and if you think I should continue. PS, I listened to "College Kids" by Relient K the whole time I was playing this, and in my mind at least, it's what Arya was listening to.
