If you're reading this, I thank you for reading my story so far and I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am enjoying writing it! This chapter was more filler really, I just wanted to introduce some more characters. I will likely be increasing the size of the chapters as the ones so far have been fairly short. I have storylines planned for Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Jon, Theon, Daenerys and Gendry and I will be introducing a number of well-known characters to the story very soon. Stay tuned and I hope you enjoy this chapter! I will be adding a new chapter to the story every day hopefully, perhaps even two some days! ;)

Daenerys

"Thanks for the lift Rhaenys," Daenerys said as she hopped out of her niece's car.

"No worries," she smiled at Daenerys, before walking off to meet her friends. Daenerys wished she was like her niece. She was so beautiful and so popular, and pretty much every guy in school had a crush on her. No one even knew anything about Daenerys, except her name. Last year, she had despised school so much her attendance was barely 50%. She wanted friends more than anything, to fit in. People pointed at her, they knew all about her family's past. The Targaryens did not have a great reputation around Westeros, with her father's and brother's crimes. Daenerys even had an ancestor who had been a serial killer, Aerion Targaryen, who was her grandfather's uncle, or something like that. Rhaegar had been determined to change this and was well regarded around Westeros, but people still gave Daenerys dirty looks whenever she went out.

Daenerys walked into her first class of the day, which was math. She took a seat next to a rather tall, unattractive girl with short, blonde hair.

"Hey, um, my name's Daenerys, I'm not sure whether you know me…"

"Hey, I'm Brienne. Are you new to this school? I don't recognise you," she asked, looking puzzled.

"Um, nah…I didn't really go to school that much last year,"

"Oh right. So, do you know many people around here then Daenerys?" she asked her.

"No, not really. I…I've never really had any friends here…"

"Me too, I've only really got one close friend, and that's Arya Stark, you may have heard of her." Daenerys nodded.

"Daenerys, you can hang around with me at lunch if…you know, you don't have anyone else to sit with." Daenerys perked up.

"Are you sure you want me around you?"

"Yeah of course, meet me outside the cafeteria at lunch time?"

"Yeah Brienne, thank you," Brienne smiled at her.

Gendry

Gendry Waters walked into the library. Thankfully, he had a free period so he had gone to the library to chill with his friends, Podrick and Hot Pie. He noticed his friends sitting in the corner, Hot Pie was on his phone and Podrick was reading a book. Hot Pie was a rather fat boy of average height while Podrick was short and skinny.

"Hey guys," Gendry greeted his friends.

"Sup Gendry my man," Hot Pie replied and Podrick said hi to him as well.

"Guys, I've got something important to ask you," they stared at him, clearly eagerly anticipating what he would say.

"Do you think…do you think a guy like me would have any chance with a girl like Arya Stark?" he asked his friends.

"Fuck no," laughed Hot Pie, while Podrick just said nothing. "Dude, she's hot. You've never even had a girlfriend. Let someone like me go for the Stark girl. You should go for someone a bit more like you…" Hot Pie pointed at Brienne Tarth and burst out laughing. Gendry just smiled, thinking of a witty reply.

"Hot Pie, I've never actually seen you converse with a girl. Besides, you are pretty fucking ugly," he smirked as Podrick began laughing. Hot Pie went red and looked like he could punch Gendry.

"Very funny," he said sarcastically. "How come you've become so interested in this girl anyway?"

"I'm not sure really…she kept looking at me yesterday when we were in Starbucks…guys, I think she might be interested in me."

"You should message her then, Gendry," Podrick said, finally joining in on the conversation. He didn't speak much but when he did, everyone listened. "If you don't you'll only regret it later."

"Yeah, I think I will. I'd never really looked at her before but only yesterday I realised she's actually really beautiful," Gendry said. Hot Pie rolled his eyes.

"That's gay," he laughed. "Anyone, what you guys up to later? Come round mine, we can play some video games and maybe even watch some porn, if you dudes wanna do that sort of thing."

"Not everyone's a pervert like you Hot Pie. I should be free though," and Podrick also said he was.

"Sweet, see you guys later then," Hot Pie said as he walked away, winking at a girl who was clearly disgusted by him. Gendry smiled to himself about it. Gendry, Hot Pie and Podrick had been best friends for years now, they were really the only two friends he'd ever had. He didn't really have any family either. He lived with his mother, but that was it. She had no siblings or parents still alive. Gendry didn't know who his father was. He had asked her many times but she refused to tell him until he was older. He was 16 now, surely old enough to discover his true parentage. He had always been jealous of people who had siblings. He wondered if he had any brothers or sisters out there. He would love that. He had always longed for a normal family life, with a father, a mother and brothers or sisters.

"You ok Gendry? You were thinking about something for like a minute," Podrick asked him.

"Uh, yeah I'm fine bro. I got a class, I'll see you later,".

"Later," Podrick replied, and got back to reading his book.

Jon

"Theon" Robb said, walking over to his friend. "This is Jon, he's new round here," Theon looked up at Jon for a moment.

"Sup," said Theon. "Where'd you come from then?" he asked.

"Beyond the wall," Jon replied.

"Oh yeah, I've heard about that place. Pretty sure I banged a girl from there once," he grinned and Jon saw Robb laugh. Theon somewhat reminded Jon of his old best friend, Tormund Giantsbane, who liked nothing more than to get drunk and have sex. Jon smiled as he remembered the people from his old school. His smile faded when he thought about Ygritte. Jon tried to get the thoughts out of his head, he was making new friends and needed to start a new life.

"Jon, Theon and I are jamming out later in his basement. You up for joining us?" Robb asked him.

"Uh yeah sure. How will I know where to go?"

"I can pick you up if you like. Arianne Martell is having a party later tonight too. We can jam out for a bit then go down, if you're up for it?" Robb asked him.

"Yeah alright. I'll see you guys later then," Jon said as he said goodbye to his new friends and walked home.

"Hey Jon, how was school?" his mother asked as he walked through the door

"It was good mom. I made some new friends, we're hanging out later if that's ok," Jon responded to his mother.

"I'm glad you're making new friends Jon…I know it was hard for you, leaving Ygritte and all…"

"Don't talk about her!" Jon snapped, then immediately apologised to his mother. "I'm sorry, I just really want to move on from all that happened there," he said quietly and went up to his room. A few hours later, there was a knock at the door.

"Hello, Mrs Snow. Is Jon there?" Robb asked politely.

"Yes, Jon your friend is here!" Jon walked downstairs, his bass guitar on his shoulder. Jon kissed his mother goodbye and left.

"Is this your car?" he asked Robb as they got inside.

"No, it's my parents'. They're away for a few weeks so I'm borrowing it. You got any siblings Jon?" Robb asked him.

"No. It's just me and my mom. I don't even know who my real father is," he said sadly.

"I'm sorry. I have two brothers and two sisters by the way," he told Jon. "Who's that?" he asked Jon as he looked at Jon's phone.

"That…that's my ex girlfriend."

"What happened?" Robb asked him innocently.

"I…I don't really like to talk about it," Jon said sadly.

"Oh right, that's fine man. You go to much parties?"

"I went to a few, back in my day," he smiled. "You?"

"A few, they're usually pretty shit though, this one's a Martell party, they're always pretty mad," Robb told him, laughing. "There's this girl that's gonna be there..her name's Margaery. You might have seen her earlier, you know, the one I was staring at?" he laughed and Jon smiled back at him. "Well anyway, I've liked her since middle school, but I've always been too afraid to talk to her. Todays the day I make my move," he winked at Jon. They arrived at Theon's house, who already seemed a little drunk.

"Sup fuckers! Sweet bass Jon, you know how to play that shit?" he said loudly.

"I've been playing for 10 years," Jon responded, and Theon seemed impressed.

"Let's get to some practice then, shall we?" he grinned and led them downstairs.

"I…can sing as well," Jon said. He shouldn't have been, but he was rather nervous telling them that he could sing. He'd never sung before in front of anyone, except his mother and Ygritte.

"Really! That's awesome!" said Robb. "I can sing okay but I'm more of a backing vocalist. I scream as well, if we're gonna be playing something heavier," he said happily.

"Yeah, I can do too. You guys fans of Bullet For My Valentine?" Jon asked his new friends

"Fuck yeah we are!" Theon shouted enthuastically. "Tear's Don't Fall? Let's play that shit!" And so they began playing. Jon noticed that Robb was a very good guitarist, and Theon could drum pretty well as well. When they started playing, everything just clicked. It sounded so good, and Robb and Theon seemed just as surprised at how brilliant it sounded.

"That, that was fucking awesome," said Robb. "You're a great singer Jon, I guess this is the first of many times we will play together," he said.

"Yeah, it was great. We..we should start a band," he suggested.

"I'm in. Theon?" Robb asked his friend.

"Hell yeah! This will get us a lot of pussy," he grinned. "So, what's our name going to be?"

Jon thought for a moment. "How about…how about The Brotherhood?"
