Chapter 3
Meera was still smiling, talking casually to Jamie; he was still awkward, yet she didn't seem to mind.
'Wow, she just seems so cheerful, like nothing bothers her.' He thought. 'I'm surprise she's even talking to me, but I'm happy about it. I feel, I feel like I'm...Wow, I'm still.'
He couldn't believe the thoughts and emotions going through him. It was beyond belief to him that he could find himself feeling this way, he just met the girl after all. They were on their way to lunch, Meera was showing Jamie the way to the cafeteria. Soon he joined her as she sat down at a nearby table.
"So, Jamie, this is brother Jojen and my friend, Bran Stark." She said, gesturing. "Bran, Jojen, this is Jamie Townley."
Jamie nodded and greeted the two, they returned the greeting as Jamie observed them. Both were younger than him and Meera. Jojen was sixteen with pale skin, short tousled sandy hair and green eyes, like Meera he seemed somewhat short and slender.
Bran was only fifteen, with short auburn hair and blue eyes, as well as pale skin. Both were dressed in boy's versions of the uniform, immaculate and neatly tucked in. To Jamie's surprise, it seems so easy to talk to the boys, already forming a friendship with the two.
It helped they had similar interests, as Jojen remarked. "Wow, so, you're a reader too?"
Jamie nodded. "Yeah, reading, writing stories, playing video games, all hobbies of mine."
"Mine too." Bran added with a grin.
Meera also grinned and nodded. Pod then arrived and joined them, talking to Jamie, relieved he seemed to be doing okay.
Also in the cafeteria; Sansa was showing Brian around, they had got food and, after pointing him out to him, the two joined her younger brother. Brian smiled as he greeted Jamie again and was introduced to Podrick and the Reed siblings.
"Pleasure to meet you." Brian said. "So, um...any other family?"
Sansa nodded. "Actually, yeah; my older brother Robb, he's already graduated, he's twenty-one. My youngest brother Rickon is only eleven, so he's too young to go here...Oh but then there's my sister, Arya."
She gestured and Brian followed where she was pointing. He spotted a girl of sixteen with long brown hair and grey eyes, pale skinned with a long face.
She wore the girls uniform but, like Meera and Marina, opted for trousers instead of a skirt. She was walking away from the cafeteria.
"Where is she going?" Brian asked.
Sansa shrugged. "Probably to call her boyfriend, Gendry."
"Boyfriend, call him…?"
"He's the same age as Robb, so he doesn't go to a school." Sansa explained.
Brian nodded, finally it made sense. But then, before anything else could be said; he saw Sansa tense. Following her gaze he frowned as he saw Joffrey again.
He wasn't alone this time, there were three other people with him. Sansa whispered to him that two of them were his siblings, fifteen year old Tommen and sixteen year old Myrcella. The other girl, also sixteen, was another relative, named Joy Hill.
All three had blonde hair and green eyes similar to Joffrey's, although Joy's was a slightly different shade. Also, while Joy was pale skinned, the other two had slight tans, which suggested they'd spent some time in the sun. All wore their school uniform, the boy's version for Tommen, the girls for Myrcella and Joy, both opting for skirts
Myrcella's skirt reached down to just above the knee, she wore calf-high socks, the tops of said socks only just coming up above her calf-high black boots. Joy's skirt was two and a half inches above the knee, she also wore the calf-high boots while she had no visible socks, but was likely wearing ankle socks. By the time he had registered all this, he saw Joffrey glaring and gesturing for Sansa. She stood up, mumbled something and walked over to join them.
'That's, that's not right, what right does he have to demand she join him.' He thought angrily. 'She is here with her family, she has every right to be.'
But, apart from their sad expressions, the others said nothing, it was clear this had been going on for quite some time.
Heading for the cafeteria with Margaery, Marina smiled, she had enjoyed her morning; her brief encounter with Lancel still played in her mind, pleasantly so. There was a brief interruption however; as a young woman pushed past her roughly.
"Move it bitch!" She snapped.
Marina straightened up and saw the girl a little more clearly, an eighteen year old tall, slender woman with long brown hair and brown eyes. She wore her uniform rather provocatively, top buttons undone, her skirt at mid-thigh length, with ankle socks and flats.
"Myranda." Margaery sighed. "Stuck up bitch, don't worry about her."
Marina just nodded. "It's alright, I kinda guessed, I know girls like her and I must admitted, I'm surprised that's all she came up with."
Margaery nodded slowly but then, seeing Marina smile reassuringly, she smiled again and they continued onwards.
"Alright, well, while we eat I'll introduce you to some of the other people here, some of the big family's and such."
Marina agreed and soon found herself seated with Margaery, listening to her and noting a few others. Such as the Starks, she saw Jamie and Brian too and waved to them.
She also was warned about Joffrey, while hearing more positive things about his siblings, Myrcella and Tommen, she witnessed Joffrey leaving with a group of other boys. She bit her lip, seeing Lancel amongst them; before hearing Margaery talking about Lancel's relations to Joffrey.
She assumed that to be the reason for Lancel's presence, simply being with a family member.
She then pointed out a trio of sixteen year olds, a girl and two boys. The girl was wearing a knee length skirt with her uniform, flats and tights, she was slightly shorter than average, with medium length black hair, blue eyes and pale skin; she was rather skinny and had grey discolouration on her left cheek and neck.
The two boys walked on either side of her, all three of them chatting away. One had fair skin, was dressed neatly, with black hair and blue eyes similar to the girl. The other boy was tan skinned; with messy brown hair and brown eyes, he wore his clothing in a slightly more scruffy fashion, he was also holding hands with the girl.
"That's Shireen Baratheon." Margaery explained. "She's the cousin of Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen, the boys are Edric Storm and Shireen's boyfriend, Devan Seaworth."
Marina nodded. "They seem nice...I should talk to them sometime."
Margaery grinned. "Good idea, you'll like them, especially Shireen. You and her could talk about books for hours."
Marina laughed at that. Then spotted two more girls entering the cafeteria who stood out. One girl was eighteen, tall, slender, with long legs, a shapely build, long blonde hair with some red gleams, a pinched chinless face and seemed very aware of her sexy aura.
She also confidently wore her uniform with the mid-thigh skirt, the shortest allowed, and apparently ankle socks as no socks were seen above her calf-high black school boots.
The other girl was sixteen with dark hair and eyes, she was also heavier than the other girl; actually overweight, but still seemed comfortable in herself. She too wore her uniform with a skirt, hers knee length and also wore knee socks and flats.
Marina pointed them out to Margaery.
"Who are they?" She asked.
Margaery replied. "That's Amerei Frey and her sister Walda, they have another sister, Marissa, she's fourteen and dating one of Lancel's younger brothers, Willem. That's them there, with Willem's twin Martyn and Martyn's girlfriend Mary."
Marina turned to look, sure enough, sitting there were two boys, both aged fourteen, with the same hair and eye colour as Lancel. Sitting next to one of them was a girl with similar hair colour to Amerei. She wore her skirt at mid-thigh length too, with knee high socks and flats.
She seemed to be trying to tease Willem, the boy next to her, who was grinning. The other girl was also fourteen, had black hair and eyes, she also had pale skin and was very beautiful. She wore a knee length skirt, ankle socks and flats with her uniform. Marina guessed this was Mary.
Curious as she and Margaery joined Jamie, Brian and others they were getting to know, she asked.
"So, how do you tell the twins apart when they're not with their girlfriends?"
Margaery grinned and replied. "Easy, look at their hair, Martyn's is always kept short and neat. But Willem well."
Marina observed and saw that Willem, the one sitting by Marissa had longer hair than his twin, it was also messier and tended to curl, again unlike Martyn's.
After a while Marina bit her lip as she sat, pausing while eating, she was still unable to shake the memory of her first meeting with Lancel and the feelings stirring within her as she did so.
Just then, before anything else could be said or thought by any of them. They heard raised voices and a commotion of sorts nearby. After only some hesitation, the group quickly stood up and went to investigate.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
