Akali was sticking to Shen during the soccer match, while Ezreal tried his best to blend in, presumably hiding from Lux. Katarina had thought it impolite if she didn't accept the invitation from Garen, even though that earned her lots of awkward stares. After the game, she left quickly to go find Quinn. On the way, she noticed Sejuani talking to Riven.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Sejuani asked, a hint of sadness in her voice," Do you KNOW how long I've been trying to find you?"

"I couldn't, I was exiled remember? And besides, Ashe is such an annoyance!"

"Why would she not remember?"

"She finds me a disgrace. Remember what I did?"

"It was the right thing."

"It's wrong in the eyes of the world. The world being wholly Demacian-minded."

Sejuani sighed. "Can you at least acknowledge ME as your sister? For me?"

"Sure, but just don't tell anyone… sis…"

And with that, Riven walked off. Sejuani whispered to herself," Sometimes that younger sister of mine is really something…" Before walking off.


"Do you really think that is true?" Quinn asked, eyes wide. She made sure to keep her grudge hidden. She didn't want their feelings to affect their friendship.

"If it's Riven, I trust it." Katarina said, knowing how Riven was. They had been friends before, but Riven was a little cold. She didn't like talking, and hence Katarina didn't stick to her, though they did trust each other with secrets they wanted to confide in someone.

"But if that's true, she's Freljord's royalty! What could she have done to mess that up?" Quinn asked, voice tinged with worry. She had a feeling that it had to do with Noxians, and that she herself could end up in such trouble too. They were sitting in the dormitory they were allocated. They had been allowed to choose who they wanted to be with, though not allowed to choose to have other people away. There were the girls rooms and the boys rooms, as usual. Girls and boys weren't allowed to enter each other's rooms. They got Riven and Sejuani, and even though Ashe wanted to be with Sejuani, she was placed in another room, as there were only rooms with 4 bunks, and Sejuani had not chosen Ashe.

"Hi Kat," Riven said as she entered, her tone slightly happier than Katarina last recalled.

"Hey!" Katarina said as she gave Riven a quick hug. Smiling, the two had a quick exchange about their first day, before Sejuani gently tugged on Riven's sleeve and Riven excused herself to have a private conversation with Sejuani. Katarina turned to Quinn.

"Guess we got our chance to find out," Katarina smirked. Quinn gave her a playful slap before replying.

"Isn't stalking them a BIT too far?"

"We're not stalking, we're just helping Riven. Right?" Katarina said, the playful smirk still on her face. Quinn rolled her eyes before giving her friend a wan smile and nodding.

"Now wipe that smirk off your face!"


"Err… Cait?"

"Yeah? What is it Ez, you don't usually come find me. Got into trouble?"

"Sooomeeeething like that. Look, I need your help. GET ME AWAY FROM THIS FREEAAAAKK!"

Lux was clinging on to Ezreal so tight he couldn't break free. She was practically leaning her whole weight on him. Though she was light, she was still quite strong. Caitlyn smirked.

"I'm gonna hold this against you the next time. You owe me." Caitlyn then took her authorized taser she had obtained from her home and tased Lux. Since she was always good, she had even been inducted into police training. She had gotten the taser as part of her work equipment. Lux slumped to the floor. Ezreal then shook her off.

"Now help me find a place to hide!"

"Go to your room."

"She'll just drag me out again!"

*Sigh* "You can hide in the toilet or something, that works."

"Oh yeah! Thanks Cait! You're a lifesaver!" Ezreal said as he shot a thankful glance at the brunette before running off.


NEXT MORNING

Lux awoke sleepily. She knew Ezreal thought she was annoying. Her plan had worked. Finally she was going to get some peace. Then she heard Ashe quarrelling with Vi, a pink haired tomboy, about what attire was better. She wasn't going to get her peace, was she? Stretching, she swiftly left the room. Her roommates were Ashe, Vi, and Caitlyn. Naturally Vi and Caitlyn would choose each other. They had been friends, but everyone knew they wanted to be more than friends, though since no one could prove it, they kept their mouths shut. Lux smiled to herself as she thought about this. Suddenly, she bumped into Riven, dragging Sejuani behind her.

"Sorry! Oh, good morning Lux!" Riven forced a smile.

"Damnit Riven! I am NOT going to visit Ashe!"

"It's your duty as her sister. Besides, you wanted to prove being her sister is better than being a Noxian, right?"

"I take it back! *sob*"

Lux smirked.

"Did you two have fun last night? You look like you don't have enough sleep."

"Ye- Wait what? That's not who she is to me!"

"Oh really? Then why are you dragging her around?"

"None of your business." Riven then huffed and continued dragging the howling Sejuani to find Ashe. Lux rolled her eyes. Probably something else to think about.


The bell ringed. First period was literature, where Ms. Laurent(Surprise Surprise) came in to teach. Her accent almost sent Katarina back to sleep.

Damnit Ms. Laurent, why do you have such a boring accent?! , Katarina thought as almost fell asleep the fifth time. Pinching herself and wincing in pain, she attempted to sit up straight.

"Hey Kat, do you wanna eat Kitty snacks?" smirked Shyvana. Katarina shot her a glare before going back to looking at the board.

"How about a ball of string? I'm sure that would entertain you."

Another glare.

"I heard that cats like sleeping. Are you a cat, Kat?"

Katarina was practically bursting with anger. She held it back.

The lesson continued on with more taunts by the Demacian. Finally she ran out of cat jokes, but started with what Noxians do.

"I heard Noxians eat each other because they are too poor."

Katarina took to ignoring them.


Katarina finally got through the first lesson of the day. The second was Physical Education, taught by Mr. Lucian, which had Katarina practically jumping. They were to go back to their dorms and get their P.E. clothes. As she wore the white shirt and black shorts, she felt way more cooling, and more comfortable. Quinn had insisted that she would go to the toilet to change, and Katarina was slightly curious how her clothes would fit her.

Going down to the field, she searched for Quinn. Seeing her, she immediately burst into fits of giggles.

"What's so funny?" Quinn asked, blushing slightly. Quinn's clothes were slightly bigger than she had wanted, making her look fatter than she was.

"Oh nothing, you just really look like Valor now!" Katarina giggled, referring to the pet bird Quinn kept. With this, Quinn finally managed to force a laugh.

"I'm sure Valor would be insulted by the comparison." Quinn said, trying not to sound too embarrassed.


Thankfully, nobody insulted her throughout the class, and she survived the first P.E. lesson she had. She quickly changed back after the class, before going to recess. They were allowed to remain in their P.E. clothes for recess, but not for classes after recess. Quinn, after changing, heard from inside another room some voices. The place was reasonably quiet, and Quinn decided to be a little curious.

"You know how I feel!" Vi's voice came from inside the room.

"If we get caught, it's goodbye to the rest of our lives!" Caitlyn exclaimed, referring to the torment the other students would give them.

"Come on! Just once! Please~!" Vi pleaded.

"*sigh* Alright, but not too much moaning, okay?"

"Yay!"

Quinn's eyes widened. She ran off before she was discovered.


"Quinn!"

"I'm sorry sir, I couldn't get more information about them."

"*sigh* What about her?"

"She has fallen for the bait."

"Good. Relay Garen the information. He will know what to do."

"Yes sir."

"Dismissed."


Ezreal scribbled down his thoughts as he sat down on the toilet bowl. He had taken to writing novels as he was getting bored hiding from Lux, although when he did come out, she didn't seem to be searching for him anymore. Though that made him feel slightly neglected, he didn't mind. It was better than having that girl breathe down his neck for everything he did. She literally breathed down his neck.

"Ezreal snatched himself the gold watch as he ran off through the night." Nah.

"Ezreal said:" I will save you, my beautiful princess!" As he jumped out the side of the building, he shot out two arrows that stuck to the stone walls of the building. He then grabbed the princess and stood on the two arrows. Smiling, he helped the lady into the castle." Yeah! That'd work! , thought Ezreal. He went on to sketch the princess and himself on the cover. Strange. The princess looked like Lux. But he brushed it aside. Must be the toilet boredom getting to him.


"Hey Kat."

"Please, don't call me that." Katarina said, trying to be as friendly as possible without completely making a fool of herself.

"Oh alright Katarina. So, how did you find that soccer match yesterday?"

"Erm…" Katarina wanted to mention that it was good, but the words wouldn't come out.

"Shouldn't it be called football?" She said, lamely.

"Whatever, anything works. It's all the same, isn't it?" Garen asked, slightly dumbfounded.

"We're in Valoran, so I guess it doesn't matter."

"So, do you want to grab dinner?"

"Can I get a friend to come? It's just been a day since I met you and…"

"It's okay. I understand. Is it a guy or a girl?"

"A girl."

"Is she single?"

"…Yeah."

"Then I'll bring a friend too. Maybe she'll find her match."

"Thanks…"

Quinn sighed as she leaned against the wall. She knew Garen was just playing with her, just so she would remain innocent of what would happen to her, considering her background. But she still couldn't stand the sight of them together. Garen obviously knew it pissed her off, because he purposely brought it up every time, then smirking at her.

Quinn tried to focus on the work at hand. As she observed Katarina's movements, she knew Katarina was really smitten. She wasn't even resting her hand on her dagger, as she usually did with strangers, especially Demacians. Her dagger was up her sleeve, and she would usually put that hand on her thigh. However, this time, both hands were on the table, and she was blushing, ever so slightly, she was leaning forward, and her legs were a little closer together than usual, showing how uptight she was. Then she heard something and leaned back and quickly nodded before rising and walking off. She then spotted Quinn. Quinn quickly formed a smile, pretending she hadn't seen that.

"Hey, Garen invited us to go for dinner."

"Hmm…" Quinn said, pretending to contemplate," Sure!"
