He was even more surprised when no one got her for dinner but who was he to question the parenting of the hosts where he was staying. School was tomorrow and it seemed the table was divided, Sansa and Bran were excited to get back to school but Rickon was defiant and saying that if Arya was down here she would back him up.
Third Person Overview
"I would do what?" Arya asked, showered and in a pair of pj's that should have been illegal. Although when her eyes settled on dinner she wrinkled her nose and walked to the fridge, pulling out leftover containers before she found the one she wanted and zapped in the microwave.
"Back me up," Rickon announced loudly "These two twits are excited to go back to school, you aren't are you?" His little face showed an expression of horror at the thought
"School is horrible; I don't know why you to twits would want to go back." Arya muttered blowing on her steaming food as she leant against the bench
"Well you are at a stalemate," Robb snorted with laughter
"What's a stalemate?" Rickon interrupted
"When the same amount of people on two different sides have different opinions on a subject." Arya offered munching on her food thoughtfully
"What do you think, Gendry?" Bran asked, eyes sparkling hopefully
"I hate to admit it but I am looking forward to school." He winced at Arya's scathing expressing
"You're a twit." Rickon exclaimed shaking his head
"And stupid." Arya snorted giving Rickon a high five
"ARYA!" Mrs Stark exclaimed "That is no way to speak to a guest in this house!"
"Our house, our rules," Arya offered "He's the one imposing."
"He is not imposing, Arya," Ned said calmly but firmly "If he was he wouldn't be here."
"I'm out of here." Arya muttered, Rickon hot on her heels
"Sorry Gendry," Mrs Stark offered looking mortified "They usually behave this way but we expected them to be more respectful to a guest."
"Eh," He shrugged telling a small white lie to make Mrs Stark feel a little better "I don't mind my siblings back home behave exactly the same way although Joffery is just plain nasty, these two are just… getting used to my presence."
"You're such a nice boy," Mrs Stark sighed "Why couldn't you be more like Gendry, Robb?"
"Huh?" He muttered with a mouth full of food before he swallowed and shrugged "You'd miss me if I changed, mum."
"Hardly." Mrs Stark smirked at poor Robb who just shrugged and kept inhaling his food
He offered to clean up but the rest of the family shooed Gendry away and he found himself in the shower then promptly in bed. Strangely though he found Arya playing on his mind, a small smile at the corner of his lips at her blunt and abrasive attitude, she was really something else altogether. He rolled over, excited for the next day at school…
Arya's Pov
I heard my alarm screaming at me and growled at it before slamming my hand down on it, relishing the silence. I peered at the clock, 5:00am, ugh, why did I do this to myself? I pulled myself from my comfortable bed and changed into a pair of workout clothes, jogging tights and sports bra. I went out the door, pushing my ear buds in and my feet began pounding the ground for my morning run. After my run for half an hour I slipped into our personal gym settling down on the rowing machine before switching onto the bike, then weights (leg and arm), crunches, push-ups and finally a gruelling set of rope climb (Climbing up a rope fastened on the roof). I peered at my watch, 6:30am. I walked out to the garage that was joined onto out house and lifted my leg over my Motor-Trials motorbike. I stood up on the pegs and balanced (Stationary) for half an hour, sometimes hopping the bike around so I didn't get rusty with the technique, taking my hands off the handle bar to shake things up, shut my eyes etc.
Peering at my watch once again I sighed, it was ten past seven, I should get a move on to get ready for school. As I walked into the dining area I saw Robb and Jon sipping a cup of coffee, mum a cup of tea, Bran was eating porridge, Rickon munching on some toast and Sansa was probably in the shower. I turned the corner and ran straight into a wall of person who I realised with a jolt smelled very, very good. I looked up and met the piercing blue eyes of Gendry, I bit back a curse, I had forgotten that he was staying here for school.
"Whoa," He chuckled arms flying down to the top of my shoulders to steady me as I bounced off him "Sorry, I didn't see you."
"No harm done," I shrugged, realising his hands hadn't left me yet "Sleep well?"
"Yeah," he nodded tucking his hands neatly into his pockets "You know you aren't as scary as you seem."
"What?" I seethed, feeling heat in my neck and cheeks "You know what, don't even bother, I don't care now if you will excuse me I have to get ready for school."
I stormed away, who the hell did he think he was? I ripped the door to the bathroom opened and was thankful that no one was in there, I was too furious to go down and pretend to be all 'buddy buddy' with Gendry and the rest of my family. The shower washed away majority of my anger and I sighed, letting it go, he was stupid and he couldn't help that. I smirked, my mum wouldn't want me to call him 'stupid' but she would just have to live with it, I would be damned if I didn't call him whatever the hell I wanted.
