Last chapter we learned that Shepard has asthma, and the girls(Liara, Kelly and Tali) had a hangout with Shepard over Liara's house to fix Miranda's t-shirt.

Today we will see how Shepard gives the t-shirt back, and she will also find a new hobby.

Enjoy! – Sorry for any typo

Chapter 4: New Hobby

Academy – History class

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" Shepard cursed under her breath as she rushed her way into the Academy, trying to find her classroom; she wasn't still used to this big ass academy, so she was like a peasant in a large castle. The sad thing about this is that she couldn't run around, she just could hurry up her walking, or else her lungs could get worse, and she didn't felt like having another attack. Also what upset her the most, was that she went sleep at 10pm, so she could wake up at 7am, and have enough time to show up at the academy at 8:30am, but god damn, she still managed to arrive late. Probably because of the store that had all those awesome bikes.

"Ruth…Serah…Shepard…" Hackett said.

"Here!" Shepard quickly open the door, as she stepped inside the classroom. She was so damn close, she didn't got here late, she got here just in time the teacher was saying her name, so, it was a total win, at least she hoped.

Hackett simple stared at her, perking up his eyebrow.

"I'm sorry…" She mumbled before go up to her seat, she refused to say she was late, because she still thought she wasn't, so she simple said sorry.

"That was close, Shepard." Kelly mumbled to her blonde friend when she sat down beside her.

"Tell me about it…but I arrived just in time." Shepard replayed as she went through her bag, in there was the t-shirt that belonged to Miranda, which made her look over her shoulder and get a simple glance from the dark haired woman, who was more focused on her notebook than anything else, she also noticed how Jack was just sleeping over the table. Looking back at her bag, she removed her history book, this time she didn't forgot, but the book was heavy as fuck. She didn't understand why they had history; there are so many different races, why should they learn about them all? But believe it or not, what bothered her the most was the human race history, it seems their race was the only one who went through so many damn changes and so many catastrophes, while the other races had those small wards here and there, and sometimes a very big one, but not like humans, and their story did not repeated, they learned with mistakes and avoided them, while humans kept doing the messed up mistakes all over again.

"I see this time you didn't forgot your book." Kelly smirked.

"Hey, don't mock me…" Shepard chuckled lowly before hit her elbow slightly against Kelly's arm. Kelly simple chuckled and shook her head slowly.

"So today, we will talk about the different types of dance that history knows of. – We will start with the human race, since there are so many types." Hackett started.

"Ugh, of course…" Shepard huffed out, already annoyed before place her arms over the table, and tuck her chin in the fold of her elbow.

"We will start with the belly dance. As few must know the belly dance is a…"

Shepard quickly locked her mind away from his words, this did not interested her, she was so damn bored already and she was only 15minutes in here. So the teacher kept talking, and talking, and Shepard just kept ignoring him. When he started to show holographic images on the wall, about the belly dance, some people smirked at how sensual the human women looked, and that made Shepard smirk as she looked over her shoulder, not to look at Miranda but at Jack.

"Psst…" Shepard called.

"Pssssst…"

"Pssst…Jack."

"PSSST!"

Jack groaned, as she finally looked up to see who the hell was calling her, and she noticed it was Shepard. Jack simple gave a lazy expression but clearly showing the "What the fuck do you want?" look.

Shepard tilted her head to the opposite side, pointing at the images, as she remained that silly smirk.

Jack looked up at the images, confused, before look back down at Shepard wondering what the hell she wanted, Shepard needed to speak, or else she would never understand what the blonde girl wanted.

"Belly dance, you are latina aren't you? Go show them how you do it." Shepard grinned in a silly manner, before wink at Jack.

"You fool! Just because I look latina doesn't mean I am! Plus Arabs are the ones that do that. Stupid." Jack almost growled at Shepard, only offended that Shepard thought she was latina, but she was also doing this all "theatre" so Hackett would caught them and Jack could put Shepard in bad sheets as well.

"Jack, Shepard! Why don't you guys share your conversation with the rest of the class?" Hackett scolded the girls.

Shepard quickly bowed her head down, refusing to make an eye contact with the teacher, and hoping he would let it go.

"Sure, you see Shepard here told me she knows belly dance, and she asked me if you would let her to show the class her skills." Jack grinned.

Everybody's head snapped back at Shepard, wondering if that was true, but Miranda remained with her head on the images, but looked at Shepard from the corner of her eye.

"No! That's not true!" Shepard quickly spoke, as a blush showed up on her cheeks.

Hackett believed Shepard, because Jack was known for her lies and her manners, but he just felt like dropping the subject and not let any girl win the suppose argument. "Either way, keep it quiet. Shepard you arrived late and if you don't want me to state you skipped another class, then stop disturbing my classes with such foolish conversations."

Shepard huffed out annoyed, but still blushing, as she tucked her chin into the fold of her elbow from her arm again.

Before Jack could smile in victory, Hackett spoke. "And you Jack, stop molesting the new student and focus on your own studies, if it keeps like this you will spend another year here."

Jack huffed out as well and lowered her head, damn she was so close to win.

The history class finally ended, and everybody was leaving the room, standing on the hallways. Shepard was with Kelly, Tali and Liara, as Jack showed up behind her and placed her palm over her shoulder. "So you don't know how to dance, blondie?"

Shepard felt a shiver in her spine when Jack touched her. She looked at the tattooed girl, before perk up an eyebrow. "Of course I do. Just not belly dance."

"Oh, I bet. You probably have two left feet." Jack mocked her, before chuckle. Then she just began to walk away.

"I know how to dance!" Shepard called after Jack, as she puffed out her cheeks in an annoyed manner, but she looked like a little girl complaining about something. A little big girl, it was weird seeing such childish expression on a girl that was almost 6ft.

"Ignore her, Shepard. She likes to tease everybody." Kelly told Shepard as she tried to hold a laugh back.

Her bond with Jack was weird, sometimes they were getting along just fine, other times they were arguing with each other, but in all healthy way, or something. "I know, I know." Shepard calmed herself before look back at her friends, seeing that everybody wanted to laugh, and Tali were the only one that allowed herself to giggle. "You guys believe me, right?" Shepard frowned.

"Yes, Shepard. We do." Liara mumbled, trying to hold a giggle as well.

"Yeah, Shep." Tali managed to say between her giggles.

"Ugh, I will show ya!" Shepard went into her grumpy mood as she started to walk away with her bag hanging over her shoulder.

"Shepard!" Kelly tried to call out for her, but the blonde girl was already walking away. She turned her view back at Tali giving her a disapproving look, but then the quarian girl started to laugh, and Kelly couldn't hold it back, Liara simple giggled shyly.

When Shepard said she knew how to dance, she was lying, because she had no clue about dancing. Jack was right about her two left feet, it was a big true, but she wouldn't let Jack win, so she was going to know how to dance. She was already standing in the dancing rooms the Academy had, since there were different types of dancing, the Academy had six rooms, each one with a different type of dance.

Shepard looked at the papers seeing which one she preferred the most, and the hip hop one really caught her eye, it was interesting, and she didn't had to do girly things.

"Hi…" A soft young voice could be heard behind Shepard. "Excuse me, but you are on the way…"

Shepard finally looked up over her shoulder to see the same girl she "saved" yesterday from a basketball ball. It was the dark haired young girl again, which looked like a damn copy of Miranda but just a younger version. "Oh hey! Ori, right?" Shepard smiled brightly at the girl, she did not know her name, she only knew the word "Ori" because that's what Miranda said.

"Hi…Well, it's actually Oriana…but if you want to call me Ori.." Oriana spoke nervously and shyly. Now that she was close to this blonde girl again, she could take way better look at how beautiful she actually was, despite being in a male academy uniform, the girl was gorgeous, and she was totally forgetting about her sister words to keep herself away from this new student. "And you are?..."

"Alright, Ori then." Shepard chuckled softly before rub the back of her neck. "Oh, I'm Shepard. Nice to meet you." Shepard stretched out her hand, hoping the young girl would handshake it.

Oriana smiled as she took a deep breath calm her own nervous, before stretch out her hand and shake Shepard's hands softly, even though Oriana's grip was soft and gentle, Shepard's were a bit stronger, but it did not hurt her. "Nice to meet you as well, Shepard." She pulled her hand away from the blonde girl before speak again. "What are you doing here?" She didn't felt so nervous anymore, she was a social person and she wanted to chat with the new student.

"Oh, I was trying to see if I could get myself in some dancing classes. The hip hop one seems pretty cool." Shepard commented happily.

"Hum, it's actually full. Well, all dancing types are but one." Oriana tilted her head to the side.

"Aww, really!? Well what's the only one left?" Shepard pouted slightly, but then got interested to know the last one left.

"Hum, ballroom dances."

"What? Ew, I'm not gonna do it."

"Why not? It's interesting. There's Cha Cha, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Mambo, Rumba and Swing."

"How do you know them all?"

"Well, because I'm in the ballroom dances. There's only one spot left, I think you should get in." Oriana smiled brightly, hoping Shepard would say yes.

"Hum, I don't know, girl."

Oriana's smile and hope quickly dropped.

"I will think about it, okay? I have a class right now." Shepard told her, hoping the girl wouldn't be so sad.

"Alright, if you change your mind, tomorrow is our training, you can show up here at 5pm." Oriana smiled back at her, letting the blonde woman know she was okay.

"Okay." Shepard was about to leave, till she remembered about Miranda's shirt. She wasn't quite sure if she should give to Miranda by herself, or give it to Oriana and then the young girl would give it to Miranda. "Oh! By the way, will you give this to your sister? It's actually her t-shirt." Shepard said as she looked through her bag and gave the white t-shirt to Oriana.

"How do you know Miranda's my sister?" Oriana perked up an eyebrow as she grabbed the t-shirt.

"Duh, you two are like twins, but you are younger, and prettier." Shepard winked at her before walk away. "Thanks." She called out before disappearing into the hallways.

Oriana was just left behind in front of the door from her dancing classes, as she was speechless and a blush showed up over her cheeks after hearing Shepard's words about her being prettier than Miranda, and that wink as well drove her crazy. It's the first time somebody ever told her she was prettier than her older sister!

Lawson's Mansion

"Oh, sis! I forgot to give you something." Oriana said as she rushed her way upstairs going to her bedroom before remove the t-shirt Shepard gave her, and then she went back downstairs and sat down beside her older sister on the couch.

"What is it?" Miranda perked up an eyebrow.

"This." Oriana placed the t-shirt upon Miranda's lap. "Shepard told me to give it to you."

"Shep-…What?! How the hell did she speak to you anyway?" Miranda snapped, she didn't wanted that damn new student closer to her sister.

"Well, I was going to my dancing classes, and she was on the way. It seems she wants to enter in some dance classes as well, but then I told her the one she actually wanted was full, so she probably dropped that idea. When she was about to leave she handed me that t-shirt and told me to give it to you. I noticed it's yours, why did she have it sis?" Oriana frowned slightly, very curious about this new student and what kind of bond her and her sister had.

"Ugh, I borrowed these clothes to Kelly, but it seems Kelly gave it to her." Miranda almost growled annoyed, she still refused herself from touching the white cloth that was on her lap.

"So you two aren't simple forgetting clothes in each other home?" Oriana wiggled her eyebrows in a funny way, as she smirked at her sister.

"Of course not!" Miranda snapped. "Don't even think about it Ori, and I told you to keep yourself away from that girl. She's just trouble and annoying." Miranda stood up from the couch hand grabbed the cloth before go upstairs to her bedroom. "And do your homework!" Miranda shouted over her shoulder, hoping that would shut up her sister and leave her alone.

Dropping herself over her bed, Miranda huffed out and placed her left arm over her eyes, but her right hand was still holding the white cloth. Unconscious she brought the t-shirt closer to her face, and smelled it, enjoying the actual scent it had. It was not hers, it was not a sweaty scent either, it was a soft loving one, was this Shepard's scent? She didn't know, because she never spent enough time around the damn blonde before she could annoy her, however the damn scent was so good.

"Ugh, what am I doing!?" Miranda scolded herself before throw the t-shirt across the room, she was not a person who would throw clothes around and leave the room all messy, in fact that t-shirt was the only thing out of place right now. Shepard was annoying and troublesome girl, she saw the scars the girl had and the tattoos, plus she didn't looked like a teen, she was probably older than she said, and her voice showed that, why everybody was ignoring that fact? Was she the only one curious enough about her real age? Was she the only one caring? Why did she care anyway?

"I seriously need some sleep."

Yup, it wasn't a big chapter, but I felt like typing this to you guys wouldn't spend more time without a new chapter. – Anyway next one might be a time-skip, I'm still thinking about what I really want to do. – Also, many of you are thinking about Shepard with Liara or Shepard with Miranda, but I see Oriana taking advantage of Shepard ;) Who knows what will happen…

Stick around!
