Chapter 4
Hurrying outside the group froze, shocked. They heard a voice, which some of them recognized, as Joffrey's.
"So, that's your attitude huh, bitch." He was saying. "So be it, you know what to do boys, time to take out the trash."
Joffrey and his crew were surrounding a dumpster, having just thrown someone inside, they caught a glimpse of someone inside, before Joffrey's crew slammed the lid shut and blocked it.
'Was that?' Brian wondered; feeling he recognized the girl. 'It couldn't be...wait...Sansa?'
Sansa was indeed standing there; back a little from the group, looking miserable; as did Lancel who also looked guilty as he looked back and spotted the group.
Marina bit her lip seeing him. 'Lancel, what are you doing here...Oh...He looks so upset, does he...'
She wanted to think the best; but right now, there was no time. They all knew they had to act, especially seeing as the girl could be heard, trying to force the lid back open, yelling, not for help, but in fury, angry.
Jamie bit his lip, shifting uneasily, unsure how to act. 'I...I should help, but...'
Marina and Meera wasted no time however; hurrying over to the laughing group.
"Ha, see that ugly slut's face when we got her." Joffrey was saying. "Now she's where she belongs."
Seeing Marina and Meera approaching Lancel cringed, looking anywhere but at Marina's face. Sansa looked panicked; as if afraid of what was about to happen.
Marina shook her head, still trying to withhold judgement, especially on Lancel and Sansa. Nevertheless she was angry at how these people were acting.
"Marina, no..." Sansa hissed as she drew close enough.
Meera spoke to Sansa however. "This isn't right Sansa and you know it, are you really satisfied being just as bad as them, by doing nothing about it."
Sansa bowed her head. Joffrey and the rest of the crew turned however and Joffrey smirked.
"Well, well, the frog-eater bitch. Come to join the ugly horse in her den?" He taunted.
Meera barely reacted, Marina however was a little confused by the insult, nevertheless she didn't hesitate. Especially when she knew this was the right thing. Just before she acted, Bran, Jojen and Margaery actually hurried up to join the two girls.
"I'm sorry, but from what I saw that was a girl you threw in there." She remarked casually with a hint of sass. "Not a piece of trash, think you need glasses."
Joffrey glowered at her. "Who do you think you are, getting mouthy at me, fat pig?"
Marina was barely fazed by the comment, she merely shook her head.
"Don't you know the French saying? Tout est bon dans le cochon! Everything is good in pigs. So basically, you just paid me a compliment, stating I was perfect. Thank you, Joffrey."
There were gasps from the others, Margaery looked impressed. The banging had stopped from the dumpster, clearly the girl inside had heard what was going on and was waiting, hopeful.
Joffrey was seething. "You...urgh, forget it."
He shook his head, turning to his crew again.
Jamie hovered just a little behind the others, unsure.
'I should say something, I want to say something, but, but...' He thought awkwardly. 'What help could I possibly give, especially after, everything Marina just said and did.'
Nevertheless, he felt angry, mainly due to Joffrey's comment directed at Meera. While not really understanding, he knew that what Joffrey said was clearly an insult. Joffrey was shaking his head.
"Urgh, c'mon boys, let's go, if they want to save the ugly slut let them." He remarked angrily. "Piggy's French accent is so annoying I can't stand it."
With that they left; Sansa however stayed, shifting her feet, Lancel hesitated, finally looking at Marina briefly, his look anguished.
Finally, he turned and followed Joffrey's group, looking helpless.
The group wasted no time and got to work, unbolting and lifting the lid on the dumpster. At once the girl emerged, with only a small bit of help. She glowered, and finally the group recognized her.
"Arya..." Bran gasped.
The girl was a mess and shook her head. "Urgh, that...Sansa!"
She rounded on her sister who stepped back, shaking her head. "Arya, please."
"Dammit..." She growled before shaking her head. "Urgh, this is horrible."
Marina bit her lip, ignoring the smell. "Are you sure you're alright, you...I mean, I can't believe all those..."
"I'll be fine. It actually took all of them to do that to me." She admitted before muttering. "What am I gonna do?"
It was Sansa who replied. "Go home, get a shower and get changed, I'll make sure the teachers understand why. We'll tell mom and dad later"
Arya hesitated but then acquiesced and began to make her way out of the school.
Looking helplessly at the others, Sansa hurried back into the school.
"God, this is, how did they get away with that?" Brian remarked angrily. "We should…"
Bran and Jojen shook their heads as Margaery replied. "It's no good, he'll just squirm his way out of it, along with all his friends."
This disgusted Brian, nevertheless he reluctantly let it go. Recovering from this shocking incident, they began to make their way back to the inside of the school; lunch was nearly over.
Biting his lip, Jamie spoke up. "Guys I'm, I'm sorry, I wanted to help, really, I just..."
Marina smiled reassuringly. "It's cool, don't worry about it."
Meera agreed. "Yeah, don't worry about a thing."
"Well, okay...Are you okay Meera, I mean...what he said?" Jamie replied.
Marina and Brian nodded too; both showing concern. With a sigh Meera shrugged.
"It's cool, don't worry about it; it's pathetic, he thinks he can just say that and insult me...he says it to Jojen too." She explained.
Marina made a face. "Yeah, but, 'Frog-Eater'?"
Jojen was the one who explained. "Meera and I are descended from the old Crannog people; who lived in swamps, ate what they could catch, usually frogs."
Now it made sense; finally, reuniting with Pod and Sansa, Jamie, Brian, Marina and Margaery all prepared to continue the tour, ready for the rest of the day as the bell rang, signalling the end of lunch.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
