As soon as Robb got to school he went in search of Sansa. He went to her locker first and when she wasn't there he checked Mr. Lannister's room, where she had first period. Finally, he found her coming out of the girls' bathroom with Cersei.

"Sansa!" Robb called as he headed toward her. She turned to see who was calling her. When she saw that it was Robb she whirled back around and tried to walk away from him as fast as she could. Robb caught up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Sansa, I want to apologize."

Sansa stopped and looked at him. "You do?" she asked confused.

"Yeah, I was being a total asshole for saying that to you. If you don't want to be friends with us anymore then that's entirely up to you. I would just appreciate it if you would tell us first, but again, that's your decision."

"Well then, I guess I forgive you. I was kind of being a bitch by not telling you about Cersei and Loras."

Robb smiled. "So are we good now?"

Sansa nodded and returned the smile. "Yeah we're good."

"Great," Robb said, his smile fading, "because I really need to talk to you." He glanced at Cersei. "Alone."

"Okay, I understand when I'm not wanted," Cersei said as she turned to go. "I'll see you later, Sansa."

As soon as she was gone Robb began to explain. "I saw something yesterday, and when I tell you, you have to promise me you won't freak out."

Sansa eyed him suspiciously. "What's this all about?"

"I saw Loras kissing Renly yesterday."

Sansa's eyes widened and she stared at him in shock for a few moments. All of a sudden, her facial expression changed from surprise to anger. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Robb was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"You're still mad at me, aren't you?"

"What? No, I'm not still mad, I-"

"Save it. I don't want to talk to you ever again." She shoved him aside and walkeda away.

"Sansa, wait!" he called after her. Sansa turned around, flipped him off, and continued to walk away from him.

"Margaery Tyrell is having a party," Arya said as she sat down at the lunch table.

Bran looked up from his book. "Where'd you hear that?"

"Everybody's talking about it."

"Are you invited?" Theon asked.

"Everybody's invited," Arya explained. "It's supposed to be the 'party of the year' or whatever."

"So are you going?" Rickon asked.

Arya shrugged. "I guess, I mean, everybody else is."

"When is it?" Theon asked.

"Friday," Arya answered.

"I don't know if I should go," Robb said.

"Why not?" Theon asked.

"Sansa hates me, and she's not going to like it if I show up at her best friend's party."

Theon was confused. "I thought you apologized to her."

"I did, but then I told her about Loras and Renly and she freaked and said that I was just making it up because I'm still mad at her."

"Wait, what happened with Loras and Renly?" Arya inquired.

"What if I told her that I saw it too?" Theon asked.

"Saw what?"

"I don't know, she might think that you're mad at her too."

Theon groaned. "Why does she have to have to be so difficult?"

Robb shook his head. "I don't understand her at all."

"Okay, will someone please tell me what happened with Loras and Renly?" Arya said annoyed.

Robb looked at Theon and asked, "Should we tell her?"

Theon shrugged. Robb sighed, then turned to Arya and explained, "Yesterday, Theon and I were looking for Sansa after school and we, uh, we saw Loras kissing Renly."

Arya raised her eyebrows and looked from Robb to Theon, then back at Robb. "Are you sure?"

Theon snorted. "Yes, we're sure, unless there are two other people in this school who look exactly like them."

"And you told Sansa?"

Robb nodded.

Arya hit him on the arm. "Ow!" Robb yelled. "What the hell?"

"She just started dating him and she's pissed at you, you really think that she would believe you?"

Robb wrinkled his forehead. "I guess I didn't think about it."

"Damn right you didn't think about it." Arya stood up. "You better fix this soon, because you're going to that party whether you like it or not." She took her lunch, three it away, and left the lunchroom. Robb sighed and glanced over at Jon's table. He wondered if Jon would be at the party too. As soon as began to look away, Jon turned and met his eye. He gave Robb a smile and went back to talking to Sam. As Robb turned back to Theon he realized that it was the only other time besides yesterday that he had seen Jon smile.

"Hey Robb!" Robb was walking to his car after school when he heard someone calling his name. He turned and saw Jon waving to him. Confused, he walked over to Jon.

"Hey Jon," he said, "what's up?"

"My car's not starting," Jon explained. "Do you mind giving me a ride home?"

"Uh..." Robb looked around to see if anyone was watching them. He saw a few kids standing by their cars, but they didn't seem to pay them any mind. "Yeah I guess so. You're just going to need to give me directions."

"Okay, thanks," Jon said as he grabbed his backpack from the backseat. They walked over to Robb's car, got in, and as they drive out of the parking lot, Robb asked, "So why didn't you ask Sam or any of your other friends to give you a ride."

"None of my other friends have cars. Well, except for Grenn, but we don't really get along that well."

"Really? Why's that?"

Jon shrugged. "I don't know, there's just always been a lot of friction between us, I'm not sure why."

"Oh."

For the next few minutes, they remained silent except for when Jon gave Robb directions. Occasionally, Robb snuck glances at Jon and saw him shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Tired of the silence, Robb spoke up.

"So, are you going to Margaery's party on Friday?"

"I don't think so," Jon said, "I don't really like parties." He pointed to a white house near the end of the block. "That's my house right there."

"Are you sure?" Robb asked as he turned into the driveway. "It's supposedly the 'party of the year'."

Jon laughed for the first time that Robb had ever heard. "I'm sure it is, but no, I don't think I'll go."

"Oh, well that's too bad." Robb was disappointed. He realized that he had actually been hoping that Jon would be there. Now that he knew Jon wasn't going he didn't feel like going either.

"Thanks for the ride," Jon said smiling.

Robb smiled back. "No problem, I'll see you later."

He waited for Jon to get out of the car. After a minute, Jon still hadn't moved.

"Well aren't you going to go?" Robb asked.

Instead of answering, Jon leaned over and kissed Robb. Jon kissed him deeper and more passionately than he had yesterday and Robb found himself running his fingers through Jon's hair. Jon unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed Robb against the car door as he leaned over him. Even though Robb wanted this, more than anything, he pushed Jon away from him. Jon looked at him, hurt and confused.

"I'm sorry Jon, I just think that we need to figure some things out before we do this."

Jon nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Like, how are we going to do this? Are we going to just come right out and tell everyone that we're dating? Or are we going to keep it a secret? I just, I have to know Jon, before things get too complicated."

Jon sighed and pushed his hair back. "I'm afraid Robb."

Robb looked at him confused. "Afraid of what?"

Jon looked deep into Robb's eyes. "Afraid of what people would think of me, of us, if we started dating. Just think of how they would treat us."

Robb nodded and put his hand on Jon's arm. "So what do you want to do?"

"I want to be with you, I really do, just not, out, do you know what I'm saying?"

"I think so. You're saying that you want a 'secret relationship' type of thing, right?"

Jon smiled and laughed. "Yeah, I guess so, if that's alright with you."

"I care about you Jon, and if that's what you want, then that's what I want too." He moved his hand up to Jon's cheek and let it rest there for a couple of seconds before he leaned over and gave Jon a soft, sweet peck on the lips.

"Thank you Robb," Jon said as he opened the door, "for everything."
