Chapter 4
"Alanna!" The dance teacher said exasperated. "No it's not some kind of jig! It's a waltz. The tempo is 1! 2,3. 1! 2,3." The teacher made annoying hand gestures while doing this.
"I can't help it if you don't teach me properly!" Alanna snapped back. "When I become a lady I just won't dance!"
"The chances of you becoming a lady are about as likely as me turning into a pig-" She was cut off by suddenly squealing and shrinking, into, unmistakably, a pig in a frilly pink dress.
Alanna gasped and looked around the room. She hadn't done that! Looking at Rhiannon she saw her grinning. Rhiannon saw her watching and winked.
The teacher ran around squealing and out the hall amid gales of laughter. Alanna walked up to Rhiannon.
"Now I'm going to get in trouble for this. And it wasn't my fault!" Alanna said crossly.
"Don't worry! She won't remember a thing!"
"I Highly doubt someone forgets changing into a pig!"
"Listen. I know you want to be a lady, she had no right to insult you like that! Besides," She said a grin playing across her face. " She said the same thing to me last year."
Alanna grinned. So she had another ally! Rhiannon had a somewhat husky voice, pleasant but odd.
"Thank you so much. I've had such a bad day. My Origami swan turned into a roll of paper and, hey! Was it you that ripped my dress?"
"No I would never do that." Still hearing the squealing down the halls she looked Alanna in the eye and repeated her statement. "I wouldn't!"
Sighing, Alanna stared wistfully at Rhiannon's hands, they were slender and creamy, while hers were rough and calloused from archery.
"Come, it's time for lunch Let's go eat!" Rhiannon said taking her by the shoulders and steering her towards the doors.
"Wait! What about Faith?"
"Go get her!" Rhiannon said with a grin.
Alanna ran up to Faith who was looking pleasantly amused.
"What?" Alanna asked cautiously. "Is something wrong?" Alanna looked at the back of her dress. She trusted Rhiannon, just after the pig fiasco she was still uncertain.
"I'm glad you made friends with her, she is really nice."
"I thought you called her a slut?"
"Oh she is! Don't get me wrong. But she is also one of the most kind hearted people around." She gave a fake pose. "After me of course!"
Giving her a shove Alanna laughed and led her to Rhiannon, who embraced her like a friend.
