~*~ Meeting In the Garden ~*~
Lyra was running, her golden-tawny hair flying behind her. Blue eyes blazing. She looked down at her watch again, it was past midday. She was running through the botanic garden on Midsummer's day, late. It was two years since she had last seen Will, the guy she loved and missed with all of her heart. And here she was, late to their place on the one day out of the year when they were the closest they thought they could ever be.
Lyra had been held up by one of her teachers, Dame Hannah. She wanted to let her know how much she had been improving during her alethiometer lessons. Lyra currently lived in the boarding school called St. Sophia's. She had one roommate, who was her best friend, and a few other friends too.
Lyra continued running down the narrow footpath which led to the bench where she met Will each year. She was in such a hurry that she ran right into someone. It was a boy, Lyra had seen him around before, walking through the garden. Though she had never actually met him.
"Hi, I'm Alec." He said.
"Hello, I'm Lyra." She said shyly, which surprised herself. Lyra was not the type to act shy. She had always been very outgoing and friendly. There was something about this boy, though Lyra wasn't sure what it was…
"Sorry, I mean, for running into you." Lyra said
" It's alright, no harm done." Alec said. Alec looked about Lyra's age, which was 15. He had dirty-blonde hair and deep-blue eyes. His dæmon was a bird, a blue jay. Her name was Kiallie.
"Oh no!" cried Lyra after they had been talking for about a minute.
"What? What's wrong?" Asked Alec, trying to calm her down.
"I gotta go! Sorry!" Lyra said hurriedly, thinking of Will. "I'm late to meet someone." She continued.
"Alright, well, I'll see you around then." Alec said.
"Bye." Lyra hurried away to meet Will.

Hours later, she sat in her dorm room alone, though of course she would never be truly alone. She had her pine marten dæmon, Pantalaimon.
" Do you think we'll ever see them again, Pan? Lyra asked, referring to Will and his cat dæmon; Kirjava. She was thinking about him again, as she often did.
"Dunno, I hope so, though." That was all he got a chance to say, because at that moment, Lyra's roommate Allie entered the room. Allie Brooks had long, light brown hair, a bright smile, and mysterious green eyes. She was also 15 years old. Her dæmon's name was Ailouros. He was a white cat with amber colored eyes.
"Hiya." Said Allie in a cheery tone. Lyra looked up from her bed.
"It's getting late, I'm gonna go to bed now." Said Allie.
"Yeah, me too." Replied Lyra, though she wasn't the least bit tired. She lay awake in the dark for hours, thinking. Thinking of Will, and how to find him again. She decided she would try to ask the alethiometer again, she had tried many times before. However she was never able to make sense of the answer, but Lyra had been improving rapidly at her lessons. And she decided to try it once more.

A/N: That's chapter one, I'll try to make the next chapters more interesting, but this one is mainly just to introduce the characters. Also, I know having Alec seems pointless now, but I promise he will be a major character later in the story. : )
As always, please R&R!
