Chapter 10: Jeyne Poole
Jeyne Poole smiled to herself as she waited, it was another day at school and she was waiting for her best friend, Sansa Stark. Passing the time on her phone Jeyne wondering if Sansa had heard anything new lately, most of the rumours flying around school she'd heard before. She knew which ones were true, partially true, or utter nonsense.
'Still, it's getting boring now...Gotta find something new.' She thought to herself. 'Ah, here we go.'
She smiled wider as Sansa finally arrived. But she stopped, eyes widening as she saw the girl with Sansa.
She bit her lip as she observed the girl. 'Could that be...no way, that's Sansa's sister, right? Arya, but, wow, she looks, she's never looked like this before, she's practically glowing, she looks so different.'
She was astonished; Arya Stark, the wild girl whom Jeyne remembered, with some shame, mocking and calling Horseface for quite some time, practically radiated happiness. She looked beautiful and she wasn't even wearing make-up or any fancy clothes, in fact, she was dressed in her usual attire.
Jeyne was amazed and curious, she recalled Arya being so dark, moody and actually scary, only some months ago.
'I tried to call her Horseface then, just to get the usual reaction out of her, just to see see wasn't all gone...She actually threatened me.' Jeyne recalled. 'I was so scared, she looked like she could have actually killed me.'
Yet now, now Arya couldn't be more different, Jeyne noticed as the younger girl left Sansa and began walking over to where her friends were waiting.
Sansa smiled as she joined Jeyne.
"Hey." She greeted her friend.
Jeyne nodded. "Hey, um...is that, Arya?"
Sansa laughed, rolling her eyes. "Of course it is silly, who else would I drive to school from my home?"
Jeyne nodded slowly; so it was Arya, the girl had really changed, and all without actually making changes.
"She looks so, so, different." Was all Jeyne managed to get out.
Sansa's smile became a grin. "Ah yes, she does, doesn't she."
Jeyne suppressed a groan, Sansa was hiding something, she could tell.
"Well, spill."
"Spill what?" Sansa queried.
"What happened to her?" Jeyne asked; cutting to the chase.
"Oh, that." Sansa replied. "She's in love.
Jeyne froze, startled, Arya Stark, in love.
"Oh?" She gasped. "Who's the lucky guy?"
Lucky indeed, it would have to be a pretty special guy to end up not only loving, but being loved by, Arya. A girl notorious for her dim view of love and well known for violently shutting down one of the school jocks who tried to hit on her and wouldn't take no for an answer. They needed to find a new player for their game after that.
Sansa sighed; Jeyne waited impatiently, this was major news. She couldn't believe she was having to coax it out of Sansa like this, rather than simply hearing it all in one go.
With a shrug Sansa spoke. "You've seen him with Theon and Robb before, Gendry Waters."
"Oh yeah?"
Jeyne recalled the man, tall, muscular, dark-haired, blue eyes very good looking, despite his obvious strength he also displayed a kind heart. Jeyne was sure if she wasn't already dating, and so deeply in love with, Theon, she'd probably be falling all over herself about Gendry.
"What about him?" She asked, before it clicked. "Wait, you mean, he...and Arya?"
Sansa nodded smirked. Jeyne was amazed, Arya Stark was dating Gendry Waters, this certainly was big news. That and the fact that, being in love with Gendry had made Arya Stark prettier than ever, with minimal effort too.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
