A story of star-crossed lovers in a modern high school setting. Daenerys Targaryen is the new girl in town, a transfer student from exotic Essos, across the sea. Her stunning good looks attract the attention of several of her male classmates, incl...
Jon Snow laughed as he walked into the cafeteria with his best friends Robb Stark, Theon Greyjoy, and Ramsey Bolton. They gathered around their table towards the back of the room and started eating their lunch.
Theon was sharing a story about his latest romantic conquest. This time it was with Ros, a pretty redhead who was a senior, and in the class ahead of them at their high school. Every boy in the school wanted to have a date with her and Robb, Jon and Ramsey were finding it hard to believe that Theon had actually landed her.
"Get out of here, Theon!" Robb barked out. "No way did Ros give you the time of the day!"
Theon crowed. "Are you kidding? She gave me the time of day and a lot more!"
The boys erupted into more laughter, seemingly unaware of the eyes watching them from all around the cafeteria.
The four of them were handsome, athletic, and well-liked by almost everyone. They held leadership roles all around campus as well. Robb was the Junior Class President, Ramsey was President of the Archery Club, Theon was co-captain of the varsity football team, and Jon was Editor-In-Chief of the school newspaper, The Westerosi Times.
They were the most popular boys at Westeros High and were known by everyone simply as the "Wolf Pack." Jon had come up with the name for their group years ago; it was a nod to the neighborhood they had all grown up in, Wolf Ridge, and also symbolic of their close bond. They even had matching leather jackets with embroidered wolf sigils on the back to symbolize their camaraderie. The boys had good hearts but at times could fall victim to immaturity and arrogance. Their latest hobby seemed to be competing with each other to see who could date the most girls in their school.
While Theon, Ramsey, and Robb were more than willing to run through as many girls as possible to add to their numbers, Jon was more reserved. With his dark, handsome looks, he had no problem finding girls interested in him. However, taking advantage of and using his female classmates wasn't something he was interested in and he often resorted to lying to his buddies about a conquest just to appease them and fit in when really, he hadn't done anything at all.
Just then, a beautiful, petite girl with silver blond hair entered the cafeteria. She was looking around trying to figure out where to sit and had a sad look on her face. Jon hadn't seen her around campus before and figured she must be new.
"Hey, there's that new chick," Ramsey said, licking his lips. "I think her name is Daenerys, she's in my Biology class." He continued to look at her lewdly. "Damn, look at her. I wouldn't mind having some of that action!"
Theon looked her over appraisingly. "She's definitely hot."
Robb nodded in agreement.
Jon felt his neck flushing with irritation, a slow creep of fury spreading throughout his body. Was he jealous? Why? He didn't even know the girl.
He looked over at Daenerys again, she had taken a seat by herself at a table near the windows, obviously not having much luck making new friends just yet. He felt bad for her and wanted to walk over and introduce himself, but Ramsey was already one step ahead of him. Robb and Theon were elbowing each other and trying not to laugh as Ramsey approached her, while Jon could only sulk and grip the table tightly.
He watched as Ramsey placed his lunch tray down next to Daenerys and immediately engaged in an animated conversation with her. Jon's heart sank when he saw her lovely face light up as she smiled at him, thinking that she had made a new friend; unaware that he only wanted to use her for his own selfish purposes before dumping her and moving onto the next girl.
As their conversation continued, Ramsey even dared to wrap his arm around her chair back while simultaneously looking back at the wolf pack table, a sly smile on his face. Robb and Theon were guffawing by then, but Jon just looked away and rolled his eyes in disgust and envy.
"Hey, what's with you, Snow?" Robb asked, noticing that Jon was brooding, something he did quite often.
"Isn't it obvious?" Theon answered before Jon could reply. "He's jealous, you know he's got a thing for blondes."
"Oh really? I thought it was redheads," Robb teased.
Robb and Theon laughed while Jon's cheeks burned a deep shade of red.
"Why don't you two just shut the hell up?" Jon snapped, clearly irritated that his friends could read him so well.
"Hey man, if you want her, try to get her," Rob said, turning serious.
Theon nodded, grinning like a bobcat.
Jon considered this for a moment as he glanced over at Ramsey and Daenerys again. Maybe his friends were right. It's not like she was Ramsey's girlfriend or anything, she was fair game. He felt emboldened, realizing that if he wanted something, he should go for it, instead of sulking and doing nothing. Sure, Ramsey might be upset at first, but he'd get over it, and if he didn't, Jon really didn't care. All he could think about was how drawn he felt to Daenerys, even though he hadn't even said so much as a hello or goodbye to her just yet. Still, he wanted her for himself and nobody, including Ramsey, was going to get in his way.
