Chapter 27
School had ended for the day, Sansa couldn't help but smile as she reflected on the recent events.
'It's good Arya is finally out of hospital. She and Gendry are finally together.' She thought happily.
'The school dance is coming soon...I; everyone's excited.'
She knew for a fact that; despite their initial reluctance to even consider going, Marina and Arya were both looking forward to it too, mainly thanks to Lancel and Gendry respectively. She grinned as she spotted Brian up ahead.
"Hey there." She called out.
He turned and grinned. "Hi Sansa."
They began to walk together, making their way towards the school exit. While they were together, they weren't exactly public with their relationship yet. They both had been thinking about it and talking about it a lot lately.
"So, um, are we…?" Brian asked.
Sansa smiled. "I've been thinking about that; there is something I want to ask first."
Brian paused, curious as he raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"I was wondering, if you'd like to come to the school dance with me." She asked.
Brian grinned; he certainly wouldn't refuse, just the thought of them being together like that thrilled him.
"I'd love to." He remarked before teasingly adding. "It would by my honour, my lady."
She laughed and smacked his chest playfully.
"Great well; maybe we can go public there?" She suggested.
Brian agreed, loving the idea already.
Later, Sansa grinned as she parked her car in the mall's parking lot.
"I can't believe you talked me into this." Arya was complaining from the passenger seat.
Sansa just rolled her eyes. "C'mon Arya, if Gendry is taking you to the school dance, we need to make sure you're ready, first step is finding suitable clothes."
Arya snarled. "A dress?"
"Your choice; not anything you'd disapprove of." She replied.
Arya sighed but nodded and got out of the car with Sansa.
"How am I even going to try it on?" Arya said suddenly. "Especially with this."
Sansa smiled and shook her head. "Nice try. But I'm here to help."
Arya grumbled but nodded and followed Sansa as they entered the mall. Sansa knew exactly where she was going and easily led the way. Arya followed, still unable to believe she had been convinced to join Sansa for something as ridiculous as dress shopping.
"Gods, hi." She heard Sansa exclaim up ahead.
She looked up and saw the shop Sansa was going into; coming out of it at that moment were Myrcella, Margaery, Shireen and Joy. They were all clutching garment bags that likely contained their dresses for the dance.
"Hi Sansa." Margaery greeted. "I see we all had the same idea."
Sansa nodded. "Yeah, not just me to be honest."
Arya silently cursed and trudged forwards as all eyes fell on her.
Luckily she didn't have to bring up much conversation; they simply wanted to see if she was alright. She didn't blame them for staring at her cast, it stood out a mile.
Finally, after that, they excused themselves and left and the sisters entered the store. Sansa's expert eye immediately began looking around, Arya shook her head; knowing now it would be pointless to try and protest now. So she tagged along until finally Sansa stopped and began examining a few dresses.
Arya stood and waited; knowing the time for judgement would come soon.
"Hey, wait a minute." Arya said, spotting something. "Sansa, what about this one, for you."
Sansa started at that and turned to see the dress Arya held up. Sansa checked it out, before holding it in front of her in the mirror. It was a silver dress, down to her ankles, the skirt had a slit up the right hand side that would stop at the top of her right thigh.
She grinned. "Good eye, Arya. This fits perfectly too and I have the perfect shoes to go with it too."
Arya just nodded. "Good that's, you sorted out then."
"Your turn." Sansa replied.
Arya groaned again but then, before she could even protest, Sansa found a dress and practically insisted she try it. So, with Sansa's help she did, looking in the changing room mirror her eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
'No way, I actually look...even with my cast it doesn't look ridiculous and, and...How does Sansa do this?' She wondered in amazement.
She as clad in a simple, grey ankle length dress, form fitting and actually accentuated what curves she had, she actually looked good, something she thought impossible, Sansa had even found a pair of matching flats that finished the outfit perfectly.
"So?"
Arya smiled. "Alright, I admit it, I love it, this is the one."
Grinning Sansa agreed and after helping Arya change back they went to make their purchases. Finally with their dresses bought, the Stark girl's made their way back to the car, ready now for the school dance more than ever.
Bran smiled as he sat in the Reeds back garden. It had been a simple day, just hanging out with Jojen and Meera again. Meera had gone to make a phone call, while Jojen went inside to get them drinks. At that point he returned and Bran smiled wider. He noted Jojen looked a lot better now, finally regaining his colour and actually seemed happy once more.
"Here you go." He said, handing the can to Bran.
Bran took it and thanked him. "So um, Jojen…?"
He bit his lip, trying to figure out how to word his question.
"You already asked and I said yes, I am ready for us going to the dance together." Jojen replied with a grin.
Laughing slightly Bran shook his head. "Ah, no, that's not what I…? I was just gonna ask if you were okay, you know..."
To his surprise, Jojen actually nodded, smiling.
"Ah, yes, I am actually, I just heard, they've...the guys that attacked me, they've all been sentenced, it's, it's over at last."
Bran grinned and hugged him, both of them overjoyed at the good news, just what they needed after everything that had happened, especially to Jojen.
