Reviews
Boris Yeltsin: Thanks.
Marina Ka-Fai: Yeah well, sadly, there you have it; she is jealous and defeated.
Veridissima: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it; well, the talk won't be too big; Edric, as you'll see, is actually pretty cool about it. Glad you liked the friendship and the Tommen scene :)
wazzup11: Yeah, although it's becoming awkward for poor Tommen who is forming a crush on Robin, who is oblivious. Glad you liked that bit :)
CadeTheSlowpoke1: Thanks :)

Chapter 12
It was the end of the school day, many students were heading home, or waiting for a lift. Many of the students were happy, once more freed from school. Yet one student was distressed instead; that student was Myrcella Baratheon. She was more than simply distressed, she was frantic. Her expression one of panic as she rooted around in her pockets.
'Where in the world did I put it?' She thought in a panic. 'I was sure I had it.'
"Gods." She muttered.
Tommen was approaching her at that moment and noticed her panic.
"Cella, what's you, you look worried about something?" He queried.
Myrcella turned to him and bit her lip. "Tommen; I…um, I've lost my phone."
Tommen's eyes widened at that; he knew that Myrcella was quite attached to her phone; yet even so, he was surprised to see her so worked up about it, especially when she was due an upgrade.
Still he wanted to help her. "Gods; here, let me help."
She nodded and thanked him and; as other students began leaving, they began to search for Myrcella's phone.
Myrcella shook her head. 'Gods, I hope I find it; before anyone else…I knew I should have put a password on it. If anyone sees…Well, Tommen wouldn't worry, what if someone else found it.'
Biting her lip she continued to search with Tommen's help.
As they were searching, Myrcella returned to the front lobby of the school, she stopped when she saw her mother standing there.
"Myrcella, there you are." She said with a smile. "I know we still have to wait a bit for Joffrey, but I wondered where you had got to. Where's Tommen?"
Myrcella sighed and then revealed. "Mum, I…I've lost my phone; Tommen agreed to help me, we were looking for it."
"Lost, you're sure?" Cersei gasped.
Myrcella nodded; her panic reasserting itself. "We've looked everywhere, no luck."
Cersei tried to calm her daughter; seeing her panic. "I…I see, well, we could always get you a new one, you are due one."
"I…Thanks mum, but…" She bit her lip; she couldn't admit the truth. "I'd at least like to get that phone back before getting a new one, it means a lot to me. I have some sweet messages and such from Robb on it."
Cersei nodded slowly; she still wasn't fully happy with her daughter dating the eldest Stark, mostly due to the age gap, but she could see her daughter was in love and accepted it.
'Oh I really hope nobody finds it, the truth is much more embarrassing.' Myrcella thought worriedly.
The truth was, while there were those sweet messages; she and Robb has also shared more explicit messages, sexts.
Not only that, Myrcella had, recently, taken certain selfies that could be considered, at best, racy, and sent them to Robb.
The pictures were still on her phone and she shuddered to think what anyone would do if they found them.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the school; Shireen and Devan had approached Edric and began talking to him about their relationship and their worries.
"You see, we're worried Edric." Shireen explained. "We…We're happy together but…"
Devan nodded and continued for her. "We're worried about you; we don't want you to become a…third wheel friend."
Edric smiled. "I get what you're saying guys. But trust me; it's alright, I know you both. You guys wouldn't do that, even by accident."
"So, Edric you…" Shireen said nervously.
"Yeah, relax, it's alright." He told them. "Everything will work you; you guys will be great together."
They blushed but smiled; relieved that things seemed alright. Edric smiled and said goodbye to them and began to leave school, Shireen and Devan were going elsewhere while he planned to go straight home.
He smiled to himself. 'I wondered how long it would take for them to finally get it. They look great together; still, I suppose they've got a point. It is something we need to be wary of.'
He was so lost in thought he bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry." He said quickly, caught off guard.
The person recovered. "No, I'm sorry, I wasn't…paying attention."
He nodded slowly, realizing he recognized the figure. It was a girl, the same age as him, with long blonde hair and green eyes and pale skin. The girl seemed to recognize him too as her eyes widened in recognition.
She bit her lip awkwardly before saying.
"You…seem kinda familiar." She said.
"You too." He replied before realizing where he knew her from. "Wait, you were at a dinner at the Baratheon house right?"
She nodded slowly. He remembered that night clearly; it was a fun time. He had met this girl there and even talked to her; she left quite an impression on him. In fact, he still thought about her on occasion and always felt strangely warm when he did so.
"It's…Joy Hill right?"
She nodded. "Yeah…dinner, oh. You're Edric Storm."
He nodded, grinning. "That's right, it's good to see you again."
She too grinned.
"Yeah, I remember now. Great to see you too." Joy said happily. "So, how have you been?"
Edric smiled. "Pretty good, I…I was just on my way home but…"
"Let's go, we can talk as we walk." She replied.
Edric nodded and they left the school together, talking and catching up.
Meanwhile, back with the Baratheons; Myrcella was still frantic, with her mother trying to calm her down.
'Gods, where could it be; oh please don't say Joffrey found it, if he did I'll…' She thought in a tizzy.
Joffrey had just arrived at that point; Myrcella was fearful but thankfully he didn't make any comments that indicated he had found her phone and her secret. Knowing Joffrey wouldn't be able to keep it quiet, so she was certain he hadn't found it.
"Where's Tommen?" Joffrey asked; looking around with narrowed eyes.
Their mother explained. "He's searching for Myrcella's phone, she lost it."
Joffrey sighed and shook his head; Myrcella distinctly heard him mutter. "Of course, typical, how careless of her."
Just then she spotted Tommen approaching, her heart skipped a beat as she saw he was holding something.
"Cella here…" He called out. "I found it."
He held out her phone, she took it from him, smiling.
"Oh, thanks Tommen." She said happily. 'Thank the Gods.'
Joffrey rolled his eyes and Cersei smiled. They prepared to leave, Joffrey and Cersei up ahead. As they walked, Tommen gently touched Myrcella's shoulder.
"Um, Cella." He said quietly. "I um, I saw what was on your phone."
She froze, her face going beet red. "Tommen…"
He shook his head. "It's fine, I don't mind, but, be careful next time…I mean, what if Joffrey found it?"
"I know." She replied nervously.
With that they finally caught up and got in their mother's car, finally leaving school for the weekend.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
