A/N: ok, here's yet another chappy for my story! I hope its ok so far. I'm
not sure yet what I will do with my other story, I have only had 1 person
say yes, and one says my others depressing. Lol. Ok, thanks those of you
who have reviewed. I don't feel like writing names, but thanks so much.
Y'all are helping me a lot. And I figured out the whole no/know thing. Lol.
Isn't that sad that I had to ask my mom about that and I'm going into 9th
grade, honors classes? Language arts teachers today. Shakes head I will
try writing it in a different format, that hopefully should be easier to
read. Also sorry the last 2 chapters were so short. This one WILL be
longer. I promise. Ok, now about this chapter, lol. I'm not sure how this
one will come out. It may be different from how TP has things. Its one of
the chapters though that I have had planned for a while. Also, hopefully
this is the only chapter where Annie does something that most of us
wouldn't normally do. I want to write this chap. So that you can see some
things about Annie. So, I really hope this ones good. And also, this
chapter does contain A LOT of cursing. So, just a warning for you guys.
Thanks for those of you who review! Oh yah, a question. What does SLASH,
AU, and OOC mean? I mean on ff.net. I can't figure it out. Isn't that sad?
Anyways, without further ado, chapter 6
Oh yah! Disclaimer: sadly, none of the characters belong to me. They belonged to thy sacred Tamora Pierce. I do own Annie, Pita, and Master. Laine (it that what they call their teachers, the Pages and squires? If its not, sorry if I made a mistake and please tell me if I'm wrong.) yeah! I own something. Does a little happy dance
As Annie was riding Pita back to the stables, the pages and squires were coming out to train (A/N: in my story, they train in the morning. Also, do pages and squires train together? I'm not sure.) Annie's mouth dropped as she watched the group of boys before her.
"What's the shock?" Daine had ridden up beside Annie, scaring the girl.
"The shock? Dude, I come to put my horse away and there are hundreds of guys with old-fashioned weapons. Many of the guys HOT!" (A/N: I had to, sorry. Lol. But you would think...)
Daine laughed and then frowned. "What do you mean by 'old fashioned'?"
"Sorry, I keep forgetting I'm not in the 20th century anymore. They are just old fashioned compared to what we have." The young girl blushed slightly.
'Its ok. Now, lets take care of theses horses and go in"
The day found Annie wondering around the palace and playing with the palace animals. The next morning she and Daine again rode in the morning. While they were untacking their horses, Annie asked, "Um, do you guys have schools and stuff here?"
"Yah, the pages and squires must take classes."
Annie looked interested. "What types? Because I was wondering if I could maybe you know, go and maybe go to some classes. I don't want to be behind at school, and I would like to meet some people my own age."
"Well, they study math and some other classes (A/N: do they have science? What all do they have? I'm to lazy to look.)"
"Could I go and sit through some of them? I'm in geometry at school."
Daine thought about it for a moment. She didn't really know that much about the knights. She mostly worked with the riders and such. But she couldn't believe anyone would mind. There was already one girl already. And it would be good for Annie to meet some people her own age. "I think it will be ok. They start at one. I will meet you outside your door and show you to the classes."
A grin lit Annie's face. "Thanks!" and with that she headed towards the palace. She was going to be with guys her age after all. She had to look presentable!
True to her word, at one Daine was at Annie's door. Annie heard her knock just as she was putting on a final touch of lip-gloss. "Coming!" she yelled as she walked to the door. Taking one last glance at the mirror she opened the door.
Daine was pretty shocked to see the change in the girl's appearance. She had bathed and put on face paint, causing her to look much older than the 15 years old she had told Daine she was. She wore a thin strapped, tight top, which showed off her nicely muscled arms. Like she usually did, she wore the strange pants. She also seemed to have grown somewhat taller. "Magic"? Daine thought, until she noticed Annie's ridiculously tall heels on her shoes. "Lets go"
When they reached the hall, which contained the classes, Daine pointed her to the first room. "Math" she said.
"Thank you so much-for every thing" Annie said soberly. Daine grinned and left, leaving Annie in the empty hall. She took a deep breath and walked in.
Master. Laine was in the middle of yelling at a page, which had not finished his assignment when he heard the door open. In stepped a young woman. She was dressed in a very scandalous outfit (well, to people back then it was) and was very pretty. "Um, hi. I'm Annie".
Master.Laine looked at her, confused. "Why are you here?"
"Erm, same reason everyone else is here. To learn stuff, I'm kinda new here, long story. And I thought it would be nice to see what the schools are like. And, well, be around people my own age." Annie was getting nervous, as every one in the class was looking at her as if she were from some other world, which in a way she was, but that was beside the point.
"You're wasting your time. I'm not teaching some whore." The gruff voice emphasized the last word.
"WHAT did you just say?" Annie's eyes were stormy. Her voice was etched with anger.
"I said I refuse to teach some girl. A common street whore."
"Why do you think that?"
"I speak the truth. Now get out, you're not getting any business here."
Annie struggled to control her anger. "I am not a prostitute, or a whore. I am an innocent girl, and I deserve to be treated with respect."
He laughed. "I don't have to respect a damn woman. Now, get out."
Annie lost control. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? You accuse me of being a whore, and just coming to get business. And you tell me you don't need to respect her? And you refuse me the right to learn? Well, guess what? I deserve that right. And YOU can't do anything about it."
The rest of the class gasped at her. Master. Laine swept over to the girl. "Do you know who I am? I am a very respected man. A common girl will not talk me like that. Now, get out. I don't have to do anything. Nothing gives you the right to be here. Get out of my sight." His voice was eerily calm.
Across the hall, Kel was gazing into space when she heard the angry shouts coming from out side. It wasn't strange to hear yelling, the teachers yelled all the time. But, this was different. It was a girl. One who's voice Kel had never heard before. The boy sitting next to her heard it to.
"Who's that?" asked Neal
"I'm not sure. But I think we are gonna find out!"
Sure enough, the teacher had walked to the door to see what was going on. He opened it and the group of student followed, eager to see what was happening. What they found was shocking. A pretty blonde girl stood in a defensive position looking up at Master.Laine, a teacher who scared most everyone. They girl was dressed strangely, in a revealing top and tight pants. To her amusement, Kel noticed several of the pages were ogling at her.
"YOU'RE A DAMN RASCIST PIG! YOU JACK ASS! YOUR JUST JELOUSE, WANTING ME TO BE A PROSITUTE CUZ THAT'S ALL YOU'LL EVER BE WITH! YOU FUCKIN PIG.
For once, Master.Laine was completely speechless.
"How much?" asked one page. Obviously the fact that the girl was not happy about being called a prostitute had not registered in Joren's mind, for following that comment he reached in an attempt to grope her.
Big mistake
Annie whirled around, blue eyes blazing with fury. "YOU DAMN PERVERT!" she exploded.
"Oh you know what I mean." Joren said sheepishly, reaching to touch her in places that just shouldn't be messed with.
"PERVERT!" Annie screeched, slapping him hard across the face.
"You little bitch!" Jornen yelled. His fist smashed into her face.
/Flashback/ She had forgotten to take dinner out of the oven and had burned it. Her dad was furious. His menacing form hovered over her. Her mom saw, well, at least that's what Annie thought, considering she had just seen her mothers form in the kitchen door. Her attention snapped back to her father as his fist smashed across her face. "YOU good for nothing little bitch," he was screaming. Then the flash of his hands and legs, viscously beating down on her, as he screamed over and over at her. Her small body hovering in a corner. Her pain was excruciating. She wasn't sure if he would kill her this time, or if he would end up killing her another time. /End Flashback/
"Don't touch me!" her words were emphasized as her knee slammed hard into his groin.
"What is going on here?" everyone turned to see a man glaring at them all.
"Sir. Myles" Master.Laine said. "This young lady came into my class expecting to get men and when I told her to leave, she got mad"
"And you?" Myles was looking at Joren, whose nose was bleeding pretty heavily and was crouched over in pain.
"I fell"
"BULL SHIT! The both of you. I beat you up," she said, looking at Joren. "And you" her glazing eyes rested on Master.Laine, "you called me a whore and prostitute when I came into your class, hoping to learn, and when I tried to reason with you, you wouldn't listen. Sir," she spoke to Myles, "I am sorry that me trying to learned caused such a commotion. But I am not from around here. It's a long story, one I barely understand, but I was not here to pick up men. I am not some street whore. I simply wanted to see what schools were like here. And I believe that I deserve to have that right. I'm real smart; I do well in my classes. You can test me on it."
"Interesting." Myles looked thoughtful. "Maybe we can have you take a test, yes, a test, to see what you know. If you pass, you will be allowed to stay and learn, but you will be treated like the rest of the pages. And if you are caught, um, 'selling yourself', you will leave. If you fail, you can stay."
"Sounds fair to me sir. Now, where is the test?"
Two hours later, Annie was watching her test being graded.
"You passed," announced Myles.
"I will be here tomorrow for class" she said, smirking at Master.Laine, who was sneering at the girl. "Love ya!" she said over her shoulder as she hopped off, blonde hair bouncing perkily.
A/N: well, there's the chapter. I hope you liked. About the Myles thing-I cant for the life of me remember who would actually be in charge of something like that. So I just used him cuz he's supposed to be smart and stuff, so, yah. But PLEASE correct me so I can change it. Thankies! Now, REVIEW. It's the nice little button. Clickety-click! And don't forget to answer my questions about what SLASH, AU, and OOC means and who would really be in charge. So, REVIEW! I hope y'all liked.
