Chapter 7
Jon Snow Stark POV
The first football game is tonight. It's kind of a big deal, but I've never been. My mom wants me to go because Sansa is cheering. My brothers Bran and Rickon really want to go, so I agreed to tag along. I miss Robb, he was always better with them even though they like me more.
School has being going okay, as well as it can. I like rock climbing, and my classes aren't too hard. My main friend is still Sam, but I've been talking to Ygritte's cousin, Tormund more. He and Sam have been hanging out some. He's nice, but he can be kinda weird.
Sam will be at the game only because he's in band. He's excited that I'm coming. He won't stop talking about Gilly, but I haven't officially met her. I just let him, she makes him happy. He's too scared to ask her out, though.
Sam still thinks I should get out there and try to find someone. I really have no interest in that. Well, that's not entirely true. I am attracted to girls, but dating isn't something I want at the moment. It's so funny because Sam thought I was some ladies' man when we first met. He imagined I had girls at my disposal whenever I pleased. I've definitely had girls interested in me, but I've never actually been with one.
My father had an affair, and one day the woman dropped me off on their doorstep. My dad didn't even know she was pregnant, and my mother was kind enough to raise me. No one would have blamed her if she left, but I think she resents me. I know she does.
I want to wait until I'm married to lose my virginity. I don't want to have a kid that feels resented his entire life, or worse, I don't want to have a kid out there that I don't know about. I haven't shared that promise I've made with many people, I know I'd be judged. Sex is kind of a big deal at Winterfell. There are plenty of pretty girls at Winterfell, but I know it's not right for me right now.
We're getting ready to go to the game, Bran and Rickon are so excited. I know Bran will just want to go off on some adventure on his own eventually when he gets bored, and Mom will let him even though it's dangerous to let him do that.
I'm more excited to go then I thought I would be. I know it'll mean a lot to Sansa and my mom that I'm there. My mom just wants me to be able to babysit so she can tune the boys out, but at least she'll be happy with me.
