Chapter Text
[ Theon pov ]
Theon was sitting on Sansa's bed, back to the wall and knees to his chest. Thinking about tomorrow, the start of his junior year of high school. He really couldn't believe he had survived three years of high school already, but somehow he had. Sansa had invited him and Osha over to talk, he hadn't done much talking at all yet. Just adding in some sarcastic comment or a few words everytime he remembered to listen. His mind was still thinking about the last three years.
How he and Sansa had grown even closer with each other over the last three years. He still remembers when he met her. He was 8 and she was 6 years old. He was sitting alone in the cafeteria with no food because his mom didn't remember to pack his that day. He remembered wanting Asha to be there with him but she never ate in there. Then Sansa had came up to him, her red hair was already down to the middle of her back. She was wearing a pink dress with lighter pink flowers as the design.
She sat and asked why he was alone. He had told her he didn't know anybody there and didn't want to just sit with random people and annoy someone. She told him that she would sit with him then, that she wasn't a random person that she was Sansa Stark and that her mother and father had told her to be nice to everyone she met, and that's what she was going to do.
She gave him half of her salad and a few apple slices after she realized he didn't have any food. And that was the start of their long and amazing friendship.
Theon was rushed back into reality when Osha hit him in the arm. "Ow! What?" He hissed at her.
"I asked you a goddamn question!" Theon didn't notice his friends were talking to him at all, not like it was the first time. "Sorry." He whispered.
Worry went all over Sansa's face. "Is something wrong?".
"No, nothing I was just thinking. Sorry." he shrugged /p>
"Thinking about what?" Osha asked.
Theon sat up a little. "Tomorrow. My junior year. I just can't believe that I'm already almost done with school. It just seems like i just started."
Osha laughed. "Lucky you. It feels like I should be 80 now."
They were interrupted by Mrs Stark, Cat she always told him to call her. "Sorry to interrupt, but it's almost 10 so you all should probably get to bed if you don't want to be falling asleep at school tomorrow" she spoke softly. She always had the sweetest voice when talking to people.
"Alright mum." Sansa said just as softly, she was basically just a copy of Catelyn.
Osha decided to go home so she could say bye to her parents the next day. Theon stayed, knowing that he would only be met with a drunk father and rude brothers if he went home. Asha didn't really live there anymore, she was always staying with one of her friends. she told him to do the same, that it wasn't safe for them to stay there with their father and brothers anymore, that they would only keep hurting them. Asha would always hit back if one of them hit her, and would sometimes even hit their father when he would be beating Theon.
Theon didn't want to think about all that right now anyway. He just wanted to sleep, get ready for school. He couldn't wait, he would never tell anyone but he actually really enjoyed school. It was one of those things that he could just think about all day and forget about whatever else was going on.
He was getting off of Sansa's bed to make a spot on the floor for him to sleep on. Sansa looked at him as if he had done something dumb. "You know you can just sleep in my bed right? Not like we haven't done it before."
"Yeah but remember when Arya came in after having a bad dream and thought we were having sex?" He said.
Sansa laughed. "Yeah but we weren't, and she knows that now. Jon and Robb know it too. A guy and a girl can sleep in a bed together without it being sexual you know."
Theon knew very well that nothing sexual would ever happened between them. Last year Sansa came crying to Theon saying that she thinks she likes girls, Theon told her that it was okay but she just kept crying saying that she wished she only liked boys and not boys and girls, saying that she wanted to be normal, to which Theon asked if that made him normal then. He still remembers the look on her face, the way she whispered "you like guys?" They stayed up all that night, with Theon trying to make Sansa understand that it was okay to like both, that a lot of people did. Sansa had made him promise to never tell anyone in till she was ready herself, and Theon would keep that promise forever.
"Are you going to lay down?" She asked, making him remember that he was supposed to be going to bed. He nodded and slid under the covers. He was basically asleep when his head hit the pillow whispering a goodnight to Sansa he fell asleep.
