Chapter 2

Having been guided to class by Podrick; Jamie sat at his desk, trying to get to grips with the new school, the new environment. As if sensing this, Pod smiled lightly.

"It's alright, you'll get used to things eventually." He said. "It can be a little overwhelming at first, for everyone."

Sighing softly Jamie nodded. "I; I guess so...thanks."

Pod pointed out a few people in the class that he knew; Jamie smiled lightly as he listened, taking everything in.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I need to warn you." Pod said suddenly. "There's something you need to know."

Jamie tensed at that, a little worried; mostly by Pod's tone and how suddenly he had spoken up.

Seeing his expression, Pod bit his lip. "It just, so you know...You need to watch out, for Joffrey."

"Joffrey?"

"Joffrey Baratheon." He replied. "He's the eldest son of President Robert Baratheon; he's also the worst bully here at school, with a whole group of people helping him with his cruelty."

Jamie sighed but nodded, he understood what Pod was getting at, he knew all about bullies, having been a victim of them at his old school. Just what he needed, more problems, he still felt sympathy for Pod, his tone suggested he had been victimized by Joffrey at least once at some point.

Brian smiled warmly as Sansa guided him, she gave him a tour of the school, explaining where everything was, introducing him to a couple of other people.

'She seems so nice and friendly, but...hang on, something's not quite right...' He mused to himself.

He could see it in her eyes, she seemed to be worried about something and was growing rather quiet. Indeed, once they were at their class, he noticed she seemed almost completely different.

"Sansa, are you okay?"

"Huh?" She replied, a little taken aback.

Brian explained. "You just seem rather, quiet...I was worried."

She shook her head. "It's nothing."

He sighed, not convinced; then another boy approached them. The boy was tall with short blonde hair and green eyes, pale skin and a haughty expression.

"Well, well, what have we here, a new student." He remarked with a grin upon seeing Brian.

Brian nodded. "Yeah, I'm new, so?"

The boy shook his head. "Then you should know how things work here, I'm surprised Sansa hasn't told you, since you seem to be getting comfortable with each other; with my girlfriend."

Brian was shocked by the sudden accusation.

Sansa seemed desperate. "Joffrey, I was just showing him around, that's what I was asked to do."

Joffrey scoffed but said nothing else, forced to take his seat as the teacher arrived. All the same, Brian was still shaken by the sudden encounter, especially as he could see Sansa looked so deeply afraid.

Marina smiled and thanked Margaery for her help as they reached their class; she had to admit, she was surprised at how large the school was. She knew she, and the others, would certainly have got lost if left to their own devices.

"No trouble." Margaery replied with a smile. "Oh, I'm sorry, but, while normally you're supposed to sit next to me, there isn't an empty seat...But um, oh, there's one..."

Marina just nodded; still smiling. "It's fine, really; more people to meet. I'll see you after class?"

"Sure."

Margaery grinned, taking her seat while Marina went over to the empty seat; she stopped however, noticing something.

A young man was sitting near his desk, in the seat next to the one she was going to, clearly drowned in the universe the book he was reading had to offer. He immediately reminded her of some Disney prince, of some handsome and regal person from a past time. And handsome he was.

His hair had the same colour the sand from her hometown had, and her hometown beach was considered the most beautiful one from her area. A mix of pale blond, of gold and even a pinch of red here and there, perfectly blended. He was trying to grow them out, something she liked, and it waved gently down to his shoulders. He had styled them so it wouldn't bother him.

Two steaks of hair had been taken from his temples, put behind his skull and once they had met, they had been tied, causing a small ponytail to blend into his blond curls and yet give them even more relief and structure. His facial features seemed delicate, almost exotic. Even his hands were somewhat slender. She noticed he had webbed fingers, however it hadn't jumped into her eyes.

He didn't seem particularly build, something she liked as well. A bearded mountain of muscles, that scared her off. She assumed he was a bit, though it was hidden beneath his uniform. His eyes had her favourite colour: green. Though she liked all shades of green, his were emerald. She found herself loving that shade even more.

She didn't notice any facial hair on him. She assumed two things: either he didn't have any, which was fine in her books, or he shaved regularly. Either way, she was swept of her feet by the vision he was.

That man was ticking all the right boxes in the list of what made her own sex symbol in her mind.

She was surprised to find herself breathless; but quickly composed herself.

"Hi, is this seat taken?"

The young man started but then shook his head. "N-no, it's fine."

Smiling she sat down. "Hi, I'm Marina Flanders, I just started here today."

"Lancel Lannister. Nice to meet you." He replied, managing a small smile of his own.

In no time at all they got to talking. Marina did most of the talking, but Lancel didn't seem to mind.

'I was a bit worried I'd start ranting, or I'd talk too much, but he...he doesn't.' She noted; before finally putting her finger on his slow responses. 'Oh, he's shy...a little awkward too. That's actually kinda cute but, he, he seems stressed.'

Wondering if there was some way she could help she asked. "Are you okay, I mean, you look…?"

Lancel nodded; speaking quickly. "I'm fine, but, thank you...It's nothing to worry about."

Marina wasn't sure she believed him, but she didn't push the issue, sure he would say something when, if, he was ready. So they settled in as the teacher arrived and class began.

Later on in the day, Jamie bit his lip, worried. Pod had guided him to his classes, but now they were approaching the last class before lunch. Unfortunately Pod didn't have the same class as Jamie; his class was at the other end of the school.

Despite Pod's concerns, and despite the fact that, as his guide, he was supposed to be with him, Jamie didn't want Pod to be late and reassured him he would be fine. So Pod had reluctantly left for his class.

Jamie meanwhile faced the daunting task of trying to find his. He knew he should ask for help but as usual, his social issues made that more difficult than it should have been.

"Hi there, can I help you?"

He turned at the sound of the female voice and stopped. The person standing before him was a girl the same age as him, with curly dark brown hair down to her shoulders and green eyes; she seemed short, slender, pale skinned. She appeared to be what Jamie had heard more vulgar boys in his old school refer to as flat-chested, but he didn't care about that.

She had an easy smile and like Marina, wore trousers instead of a skirt as part of her uniform.

"Uh hi, yeah, I'm kinda lost..." Jamie admitted at last.

The girl continued to smile, silently offering help.

Jamie was actually surprised he picked up on that; he was also surprised by the strange feelings suddenly bubbling up inside him, especially as he had only just met the girl.

"Ah, new here?" She asked, he nodded. "Well, I can help with that I think, what class are you in?"

He told her and she smiled wider. "Same as me, c'mon, I'll take you there...Oh I'm Meera, by the way, Meera Reed."

"Jamie Townley, it's nice to meet you." Jamie replied.

Nodding Meera led the way and he followed; still startled.

'What is going on, what is this I'm feeling, it can't be...can it?' He wondered. 'Talk about instant attraction.'

It was strange, he'd never felt that way before and usually didn't pay much attention to things like this. But it seemed that, despite only just meeting her, he was already attracted to Meera Reed.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.

So, all three OCs have now met their significant others. Also, just a little note, in case some are confused by it, Lancel's description in this is not only through Marina's eyes, but provided by Marina herself :)
