~**~ Encounter
The rest of the week went by uneventfuly, Alanna's classes proved more difficult then she had expected but she wasn't doing too bad for an "exchange student!" She was no longer avoiding Jon but they had not spoken of their little moment of intimacy.
Her four friends were having much more trouble with their studies than her but Ayden was tutoring them a bit. "It's a good thing," he told Jon as he tutored the Prince math, "that you don't have science this semester!"
Alanna was getting to know a lot of people in her classes although none of them were as interesting as the girl they had met on their first day, Ryneka. She tried talking about Ryn a lot, but every time she'd bring it up, Jon was in the room and changed the subject, and when he wasn't around, ayden was and he'd change the subject. She could tell Gary also wanted to talk about their guide but couldn't get a word in before his cousin.
Alanna's most difficult class, surprisingly, was gym. The games were so new and demanded the use of such rusty muscles that she found it frustrating to play dodgeball. She wasn't used to being supposed to have fun.
In contrast, she absolutely loved dance, it was so refreshing to see all these girls, so free to speak their minds and wear what they wanted, doing something she understood yet in a different way. She was learning lots of dances by name but right now they were working on hip hop. She adored it, the moves were different, crisp and not as complicated as waltzes and things like that. The best of all was that it didn't matter that she was a boy to these people, there were'nt any roles to uphold in these dances, she was free to be herself.
In this class, she met two friends: Lindsey, a redheaded, energetic and quick-wittedd 14 year-old who really didn't want to be in this class but who's parents had forced her to be anyway. As well as Steph, a blonde, a smart one, she was assured quickly with a friendly smile. She had an ingenious metal contraption in her mouth called braces. It's too bad we can't do that at home, she thought of Tortall and shook her head, we just don't have what it takes, yet. She finished the thought with firmness.
Lindsey was one of those "friends forever no matter what" friends. You could neverforget her. Steph was more sedate but no less everlasting. Lindsey was also in Alanna's English and Gym classes but they were often seperated in the latter due to Alanna's charade. Stephwas in her Gym class too and her Geography class, which proved useful because Staph was a perfectionnist and always knew the right, complete answers, fortunately, she was only too happy to share them.
It was amazing to Alanna to find that there were a whole of 180 countries in the whole world! That was a lot compared to the 9 that she knew of in her own universe. And these people had boats that could cross the ocean in a few days? Amazing! When Ayden heard Alan comment about it to Raoul, he thought, It's a good thing he hasn't heard about planes yet!
After that, there was Emily and Kyla, both in her homeroom, and all three of tem would make fun of the teacher, who, to Emily and Kyla was much too uptight, but to Alanna, she she was pretty laid back, when compared to the Mithran priests she was used to. Emily was a very charismatic, friendly, and humorous sharacter. Kyla had a more feminine air than most, she would wear skirts often while others wore jeans, she had long brown hair past her waist, Emily had chin-length chestnut hair. Kyla had a "China doll complexion", which Alanna didn't understand unti; she saw a picture of a china doll that looked like an exact replica of Kyla's face. The only problem was, Kyla was one of those girls who falls for guys really often and alanna was afraid Kyla might get a little enamoured with her 'other self".
As fate would have it, Fridayu the 6th, Alanna ran into Ryneka for the first time without Jon around to impend the conversation.
"Oh! Hey, Alan! Sorry 'bout that!" She exclaimed, bending down to pick up her fallen books.
"'S'aright, was my fault anyway, wasn't looking where I was going." Alanna assured the girl, helping her with the books. Ryneka flashed her a friendly smile.
"So, how's your first week been? Do you like it here?"
"Yeah, it's lots of fun, very different though." Alanna told her truthfully.
Ryneka chuckled. "And are you going to the dance next Friday? I know for a fact that there are quite a few girls who are hoping for an invitation from you or one of your friends!"
"Really? Wow! I didn't even know there was a dance!"
Ryneka laughed outright this time. "Well there is one and it would be great if you and your friends would come." She laughed again, it wasn't a mocking laugh and it wasn't cocky either, it was friendly, like she was laughing at a private joke between them but of course, Alanna didn't know what it was. She's pretty cool, Alanna thought, then she made up her mind.
"Can I ask you a personal question? Two actually." Alanna asked the brunette.
Ryneka put on a mock anguished expression, smiled then said, "Sounds serious, shoot." Her expression was serious now, a slight frown splayed across her features. Wow, thi girl is amazing! She actually wants to listen to what I have to say! alanna thought with surprise, she was used, in both worlds, to being told that she was being feminine or just being shunned when she tried to talk seriously with people. Ryneka hough, really wanted to hear what she had to say.
"Well, this might sound stupid but, what's between you and Ayden? I mean, I figure you're not going out together but you're always calling each other names like "cupcake" and "seetie" and stuff like that, and Ayden is always talking about how sweet and friendly and beautiful you are so, like, what's that all about?" alanna rushed throught the question, barely breathing. She watched Ryneka as she spoke, as soon as her first sentence was out, Ryn's eyes widened, then as she elaborated, her facer shone with myriad emotions; hopeful, dreamy, surprise. when she finished, Ryn was silent for a minute then grinned, showing perfectly white and straight teeth.
"Well, we've never gone out, but we've been friends for ages and we hang out a lot, do we look like we're going out?"
"Well, yeah, kinda with the hugs and kisses all the time, and the way you two, well I don't know about you but the way Ayden talks about you and stuff like that."
"Does he really say stuff like that?"
"All the time!" Alanna told her, rlling her eyes with a grin. Noticing Ryn's once again hopeful face, she added, "So, when are you gonna ask him out?"
"WHAT?!?" Ryn's eyes were the size of the moon and she almost walked into the wall.
"C'mon, we both know you've got the hots for him!"
Ryn blushed tremendously. "Is it that obvious?"
"Yes! I'm pretty sure he likes you too so you have a good chance, I think the only thing holding him back right now is that it hasn't been that long since you broke up with that guy Ryan?" Ryn nodded. "And he doesn't want to pressure you," she finished.
"Really? 'Cause I always wait a whole month after a break up with someone to go out again, you know, so the guy doesn't think he's rebound boy."
"You and I both know Ayden won't think that, now I think, if you'd like to know," Ryn nodded vigorously: "help me!" Alanna chuckled. "You should ask Ayden to the dance, it's a sure thing and I know for a fact that he likes girls who make the first move, takes the pressure off, ya know?"
Ryneka nodded vaguely. They walked in silence for a moment more. Then Ryn spoke, "Thanks a lot Alan, I've been in need of that kind of reassurance for a while and my friends aren't all that supportive. They're always saying I could do better and stuff like that." she trailed off.
"How can you do better than good looking who loves and cares for you!" Alanna told the girl, tapping her cheerfully on the shoulder.
Ryn grinned. "Totally!"
They walked a liitle more. "So what was your second question?" She asked.
"Ummmmm. well. What'sbetweenyouandJon?" She asked quickly, all in one breath.
Ryneka'sface was a kaleidoscopic array of emotions: relif, surprise, perplexion, uneasiness, perplexion again and finally a seemingly nonchalant air. "this seems like it might be a pretty big issue for you, would you like to sit down and talk?" Alanna nodded gratefully and they made their way to a bench in the Atrium. Ryn started uncomfortably, "Ummmmm. don't take this the wrong way but." Alanna prodded with a look. "Umm.are you homosexual?"(A/N:Should I stop here? nah, I'm not that mean! ()
There was a confused silence for a minute then Alanna started laughing, then Ryn joinedin and they were soon slapping their thighs and half falling off the bench.
"Hehe, . Oh dear, oh no, no, no." alanna giggled, wiping a tear from her eye and shaking her head. "Oh dear me no! haha, .hooohoohoo! Ahhhhhh, that's great!"
"Sorry. I just thought maybe, oh dear.hehe, ahah.!" Ryn went on.
"Well now that you know," Alanna asked, falling serious again.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not really sure what's between us," Ryn got a vague look again as she thought of it. she went on to explain her situation, the "feelings" she always got, the one she got for Jon, not knowing what it meant, her growing confusion.
"Really? You've always had these? that's. Interesting.so what 'feelings' did you get for the rest of us?" alanna asked, fingering her necklace.
"Well. To tell you the truth, I didn't really get one from you, like something was stopping me from getting it" Alanna nodded. "Raoul I didn't get either cuz I really liked him as soon as I saw him, so I didn't get one, then there's Gary." ryneka shifted her weight restlessly on the bench, not looking Alanna in the eye. Why did I even tell him anything? I promised myself I wouldn'ttell anyone and now I tell this boy I've known personally for like ten minutes and just pour my heart out? Get a grip! But I do feel better for having said something and it's great that he actually listened, he even seems genuinely interested, maybe he can help me out with the whole Gary situation. God! My stomach flops everytime his name is mentioned! Nevermind what happens when I see him or talk to him! I guess maybe I should. She looked at Alan and looked away quickly, he was so innocent, so perfect! Then, she felt his hand on her back and it was just too much.
Meanwhile, Alanna was thinking too; I wonder what these "feelings" of hers are. And what did she get from Gary if she's acting like this about it? I wonder what it means that Jonm knows, interesting. Maybe I should go to the dance, it might be fun. She looked over at Ryneka who seemed kind of lost, hoping to be helpful, she awkwardly put her hand on the girl's back and rubbed it gently in circles. Ryneka looked at her with wide eyes, then suddenly she looked away and Alanna could feel Ryn's shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Instinctively, Alanna gathered the girl in her arms and made soothing noises, pating her back and smoothing her hair out of her face.
Ryneka spoke when her tears were quelled a little. "I just don't know what to do, Alan. Should I tell him? Or shouldn't I? And what about Jon, huh? And Ayden?!?" The girl was shaking madly now. Alanna made up her mind, there was a flash of purple light and Ryneka sat up straight, she remembered everything before her breakdown, nothing else.
"Well, I'd better get going soon, but I was thinking, you should come over for supper tonight, eat with the whole gang and then we can talk, okay?"
"Yeah, I'd like that." Ryneka smiled timidly, not really sure what had just happened, there was a strange blankness in part of her memory, she put it aside for now. Alanna smiled back, she looked at a clock that hung on the wall.
"Gods! I've missed more then half my class!" Fortunately, it's only Geography, she thought. "I'm gonna be in so much trouble! Jon'll kill me! Argh!" She cried in frustration, starting to pick up her books hurriedly.
Ryneka chuckled softly and shook her head, Alanna paused to watch her. Ryn ripped a piece of paper from a binder and scribbled a note on it, then she handed it to Alanna, "Here," she said, "give this to your teacher, she'll let you off the hook."
"What's it say?" Alanna asked, taking the note.
"Says you weer with me, doing some volunteer work, the teachers know I do all sorts of things with the new kids." She winked at Alanna. "Jon'll never know!" She started to walk away then called over her shoulder, "See you tonight! And please think about Friday!" Then she dissapeared around the corner.
"Yeah, sure." Alanna muttered to no one then ran off to her class.
