Arya had laid on her bed for the rest of the day. She didn't feel like getting up from her bed and facing people, she was too angry at the fact that she had to date Tommen. She barely knew anything about him and she didn't want to. She liked the hi and bye relationship she shared with him and wanted to keep it at that.
The more she thought about Tommen and this whole mess of a situation, the more she thought of Gendry. She kept wondering how it would have been like if she had to date Gendry instead of Tommen. After all, he was Robert's Baratheon's half son.
Arya knew for a fact that if she had to date Gendry instead of Tommen she would be the happiest girl in all of Westeros. The feeling she had for him overwhelmed her and made her feel like a stupid silly girl. When Arya was little, she laughed at her sister for having crushes and talking about boys. Arya even swore to never like guys. But that all change when she turned 13. Gendry was 18 at the time and was dating a very hot girl. Arya couldn't help but feel jealous as she saw Gendry and the girl act all lovey dovey when she hung out with Gendry and her brothers. It bothered her to the point where she stopped hanging out with him until he finally broke up with her.
But Gendry would never like her back and that made her mad and sad and she wanted to find a way to get rid of the feeling but no matter what she did, she couldn't. She always ended up wanting him more. There was no point in her imagining Gendry being her boyfriend instead of Tommen if Gendry didn't even feel the same about her. And why would he? She was shorter than him and was not even considered pretty by the guys in her school. Her hair was a plain brown and cut short and her boobs were barely a B cup. There was just no point in fantasizing about something that would never happen.
She grumpily rolled over to the side, her face facing the window in her room. The sun was beginning to set and her stomach began to grumble. She hadn't eaten anything since her brothers had forced her to eat breakfast in the morning. She had been planning on staying in bed all day, but her stomach had other plans.
With a sigh, she lazily got up and made her way to the bathroom. The reflection on the mirror wasn't a pleasant one. Her hair was a mess and the white shirt she had worn was all wrinkly. She splashed cold water on her face, awakening her up at once.
"What's going to happen to me?" She wondered to herself. She was scared of dating Tommen. Not because he would hurt her, but because he would be her first boyfriend and she really didn't want that.
After a few minutes in the bathroom, Arya made her way to her room where she fish out a pair of Pj pants from her drawer and put them on. She had discarded her black skinny jeans as soon as her brothers had left her alone in her room hours ago. After brushing her hair, she walked out of the room, hoping she wouldn't bump into anyone.
Arya's hope were quickly brought down when she bumped into someone's chest. To her surprise, there stood Gendry in a black muscle T-shirt. His biceps were huge and Arya wish she could touch them and be held in those arms.
Gendry wore a grin on his face and his blue eyes pierced her grey eyes.
"Just the girl I was looking for" Those words made Arya's heart race
"Why were you looking for me?" She tried to sound nonchalant but her voice failed her a little. She hated being so close to him, especially when his arms were exposed. Damn you Gendry and your chiseled body!
"Because, I heard you have a date coming up and I wanted to give you some tips" he winked. Arya felt her face grow hot and she wanted to run away from Gendry. That stupid boy didn't know what he was saying.
"Shut up!" Arya said, pushing him out of the way. The last thing she wanted to do was to talk about Tommen with Gendry!
"Come on now, I was joking" He said gently pulling her to him. Arya tried to wiggle out of his grip but her efforts were futile.
"You're stupid, you know that don't you!" She said annoyingly
`"And you're hot-headed" he said with a laugh
Arya rolled her eyes and tried to escape his grip. "Can you please let me go? I'm starving"
"Alright alright." He said finally letting go. Arya walked away from him and he followed behind.
"The reason why I came up was to get you. I was thinking of going to the movies tonight" He explained as they walked down the stairs.
"Why don't you ask one of my brothers to go with you? or Theon?" Arya asked, trying to hide the excitement in her voice. She would love to go to the movies with him, especially if her brothers weren't going. Even though she knew nothing would happen, she still loved hanging out with him without the extra people.
"Well, all of them are busy. Jon is hanging out with Ygritte, Robb is working, Bran is nowhere to be found, probably climbing somewhere and Theon, well the last thing I want is to hang out with Theon" He said. No one but Robb seemed to be fond of Theon.
"Am I your last resort then?" She asked, arching an eyebrow.
"No, Theon is" He joked
"Um, can I eat something first?" Arya asked
"Yeah sure. In fact I'm hungry too. Why don't you make me a sandwich?" He smiled at her as they entered the kitchen.
"What am I, your girlfriend?" The word girlfriend tumbled out of her mouth without her permission and she blushed. She hid her face in the refrigerator as she searched for something to eat.
"Of course not, you're my best mates little sister" Those words made Arya's heart sink and crash. Gendry will never see her as something more than that. Even though it pained her horribly. She knew that she had to stop whatever she was feeling for Gendry before it got out of hands. Maybe dating Tommen wouldn't be a bad idea after all.
