Oberyn
Oberyn turned and walked away just in time to avoid actually having to speak with the girl. It only bought him what? Like thirty seconds? Less. He was back at their table in fifteen with two textbooks for them to actually try and get some reading done.
He held back the slight smirk that was playing at his lips as he watched the relief flush through Lyanna Stark's homewrecking face at the realization that he wasn't abandoning her to work with a new partner. But that's not to say that he didn't consider it. It was her or Robert, and he would drive his beloved Porsche Cayman GTS into the Bay before he ever worked with Robert Baratheon.
Things were going fine as they silently read the chapter on cellular respiration until the Stark girl got a little too comfortable. Oberyn braced himself for the inevitable apology.
"Look. I'm so sorry for what happened between your sister and Rhaegar. I never meant for any of that to happen. I hope that you can look past that and don't judge me before you even learn my side of things," Lyanna nervously stammered
Oberyn deemed it necessary to do one of the breathing exercising he had learned at his court mandated anger management after he'd gotten into a fight with Mr. Yronwood from up the street. Feigning disinterest, Oberyn shifted his concentration from the book to turn and look the girl who ruined his sister's happiness in the eye. He hated that he had to hate Lyanna Stark.
Oberyn cringed ever so slightly as he considered assuring Lyanna that it was completely obvious that the kiss was entirely one sided. Elia would hate him for saying it out loud. And to Lyanna Stark of all people. He shook his head and went for it anyways, "You have no reason to apologize, Stark. I never wanted Rhaegar Targaryen with my sister in the first place. It was obvious that the affections shown that night were not shared. Anyone within a hundred miles could see that you and that animal over there were in love. Which makes me wonder why exactly you broke up with him." Oberyn turned just in time to see Robert looking away after obviously hearing and being slightly hurt by his ex's current conversation.
The girl seemed to be caught completely off guard by the sudden turn in conversation. Her apologetic smile turned into one of the bitchiest expressions that Oberyn had ever seen in his life. "That is entirely unimportant. Let's get back to work," she stated icily before looking down at a diagram of the Krebs Cycle.
"You're gonna have to tell me eventually. That is if you ever want me to get my sister and just about everyone else from Dorne Heights to stop blaming you for what happened," Oberyn casually stated.
"Do you actually think I give a fuck what anyone thinks about me? Because I don't. You can tell everyone that Rhaegar and I fucked for all I care. And that's why I broke up with Robert. Go for it." Lyanna shot back through her teeth. "Asshole."
Oberyn smiled realizing that he'd hit a soft spot with the girl in bringing up whatever happened to her relationship with Westeros Prep's newest bachelor. Although it was slightly strange to know that this girl actually had feelings.
They sat in silence for another minute until the bell rang announcing that it was time for lunch. Oberyn was excited to leave his most boring period of the day but he also found himself feeling some kind of way about separating from the only female driver at Westeros Prep after finally speaking to her for the first time.
Admittedly, he'd been wanting to ever since the September race where she had only lost to him by .396 seconds. But she'd had a boyfriend and for the first time since he'd lost his virginity 5 years ago, Oberyn Martell had afraid to approach a girl. He used her relationship with Robert Baratheon as an excuse but when had he ever cared about whether or not someone was taken? Oberyn was so accustomed to impressing girls by just existing, but he knew that with Lyanna he'd actually have to work. She was completely different from any girl he'd ever been with. He had also thought of her as the type of girl you have a relationship with, not just a hookup. Then the thing with Rhaegar happened and Elia's fury was enough keep Oberyn away from the Stark girl for an eternity. He decided to give her every indication that he despised her existence and eventually his feelings dissolved. Until now. He wanted to stay mad but she chose him as a partner. Plus he had to admit, her ass did manage to look flawless even in her grey pleated uniform skirt.
