Hey there readers, I did post the first chapter to this last night (UK time) but I wasny satisfied with it. So here is the update version that I'm much more satisfied with, rate and review please? RedRobin
CHAPTER ONE
Ruby Lucas was rooting around her skin tight jeans, looking fot her lighter when she heard the shrill yell from a familiar voice,
"GET OFF THE FIELD WE'RE PRACTISING HERE!" the yell came from Regina, head cheerleader for the Storybrooke University team. Ruby inclined her head slightly, to see whether the voice was shouting to her or not, and thanked th gods it wasnt. There really was no way it could be here, since she was stood at almost the other side of the field, but her hearing was just alittle too good. Regina was yelling at the football players, in particular David Nolan, the head of the team who, by the looks of it, had barreled straight into her line of cheerleaders. Ruby scoffed to herself and began to skirt around the field towards the bleachers. If the cheer squad where practising, she might as well stick around, besides she was supposed to sit with her friend, Snow, who had the biggest of crushes on David and watching them play was the only way she could scream and shout at him and pass it off as team support.
She sat as she found her lighter, bringing it up to light the menthol cigarette that hung from her lips. The nicotine stung her throat and dulled her sense somewhat, but that's why she did it, the addiction to the cigarette ingredients messed up her enhanced senses, made seem more human. As she took her another drag another body flopped down next to her,
"Shouldnt be doing that on school grounds," Snow's voice was light and melodical, as always. Ruby huffed and shrugged, her eyes trained on the head cheerleader. Snow hummed softly to herself as she got comfortable next to Ruby, even her humming was melodical, sometimes alittle too much and Ruby wondered why birds didn't flock around her. But right then Rubys emerald eyes where trained on the head cheerleader, who always seemed to block out anything else in the world.
Regina Mills was a sight to be seen, dressed in the schools colours, her pleated skirt was alternate purple and gold, while her tiny, tight tank top was solid purple, the word "Royals" blazed in gold across her ample chest, Ruby found she couldnt take her eyes off the woman, nor concentrate on what Snow was saying to her. Regina wasny overly tall, but what she lacked in height she made up in with her presence, she was daunting, threatening, powerful and gorgeous. It drew everyone in, with her plump red lips, deep havel coloured eyes, her dark hair that was cut into a stylish bob, the way her body curved just right, she was just perfect. It Rubys eyes. She drove her senses, her body while. Made the wolf beneath her skin pace and growl, made her nose flare when she walked pass in the halls, the smell of crisp apples always filing Rubys nose, the way her hips swayed made Rubys lowers clench and realise every day that Regina made her alittle bit more gay.
Ruby realised she should listen to Snow as the other girl tapped her arm slightly as she franticlly waved at David on the field, tugging on the sleeve of Rubys leather jacket in excitement, she was here to help Snow seem like a normal student after all,
"Its almost sickening how much you love him Snow," Ruby muttered, taking another drag from her cigarette, still staring at the cheerleaders as Regina organised them into a pyramid,
"Not as sickening as what you put in your mouth," Snow shot back quickly, a smirk on her red lips. Ruby pulled a face and stubbed out the menthol, pouting slightly,
"Better?" she asked and Snow nodded, waving frantically again as David drew near the bleachers.
"Go Royals! Hi David! Whoop!" Snow screamed and waved her arms frantically l, trying her hardest to get the football player attention. A couple looked up and pulled confused faces, while David waved back almost shyly. Ruby could understand why the football players looked so confused, besides herself and Snow there where a total of 5 other students sat on the bleachers and none of them where cheering the team on.
"Blergh," Ruby muttered, sticking her tounge out in dislike as she turned to watch the cheerleaders again. As she did Regina turned to face her, her dark hair flicking around her face almost dreamily, her deep brown eyes meeting Rubys green ones. Ruby sucked in a breath as the cheerleader smirked at her, just a slight twitch of her lips was enough to make Ruby need another menthol. Her wolf started to howl inside her, clawing at her insides, brushing up against her skin. Why did this always happen when Regina looked at her.
For weeks now Ruby has been joining Snow to watch the football team practise, all secretly to watch the cheerleaders practise, or more precisely to watch Regina practise. Or Regina shout at her cheerleader minions. Something about Regina being dominant made Ruby shiver, and her wolf roll over in submission.
Somehow, somewhere along the lines Ruby Lucas had developed a crush on the most popular girl on campus. Regina Mills was the epitome of popular, nothing like Ruby, who was a self proclaimed loner. Regina hung eith the jocks, the cheerleaders, the rich kids and anyone else she deemed popular, where as Ruby stuck with Snow most of the time and anyone else who wanted to stay off the campus radar.
"You're staring Lucas," Rubys attention snapped back to reality as she realised Regina was stood right in front of her and speaking to her. Speaking to her in such a dominant and direct voice that Ruby shuddered and felt her wolf whimper within her.
"Huh? What?" Ruby found she couldnt form proper sentences when Reginas dark eyes bore into her own,
"I said, you're staring Lucas. This is the 5th practice youve been staring at as well. What's your deal?" Regina all but demanded, her hands on her hips, chest pushed forward, eyes narrowed, eyebrows crumpled into a frown. Ruby was struggling not to stare at the big gold word infront of her. Or the chest it hid underneath,
"No deal, i'm here with Snow, not staring at your team," she mummbled, tugging her fingers through her dark hair nervously. Regina frowned, her eyes narrowing more, if that was possible. The cheer captain took a step closer to the Bleachers, her eyes not leaving Rubys,
"I caught you staring Lucas, none of my girls are intrested in anything you have to offer,"
"Wasnt staring at the girls," Ruby muttered, instantly regretting it, her wolf rolled over, showing it's belly. Even if Regina or Snow couldn't see it, Ruby felt it deep inside of her body,
"Who then?" Regina pried. Ruby swallowed dryly, looking anywhere but Regina. She could just tell her, be embaressed, face the probably harassment from Regina and her gang of populars, or bottle it up and just brood over the cheerleader for the rest of her college years, "i'm waiting Lucas." her tone was so dominant and demanding that Ruby wanted nothing more then to tell her outright,
"I...I..."
"Gods Lucas, you couldn't be weirder if you tried," Regina snapped, tossing her hair over her shoulder as she stalked away, "Stop staring, your freaking out my girls," the cheer captain shot over her shoulder,
"You okay?" Snow asked softly, touching Rubys shoulder almost gingerly. Ruby let out the breath she didn't realise she was holding and shot her head till the dark tendrils of her hair covered her face,
"Intense," she mummbled, hanging her head slightly. Inside her the wolf howled and ran about, whining in almost defeate. Ruby wanted to tell Snow, wanted to explain to her that it wasn't just her teenage hormones that made her crush on Regina Mills, but there werewolf part of her as well. But she couldnt. Her Granny told her never to revealed the secret that hid inside her,
"You couldn't have chosen a worse person to have a crush on Rubes," Snow said softly, brushing Rubys hair back behind her ear,
"Guess your right."
Ruby slammed her bedroom door shut and flopped onto her unmade bed in a manner that resembled defeate, she gave up, Regina was driving her nuts. After the football and cheerleader practise Regina had come back up to Ruby once more. They'd squared up, as much as they could since Regina was at least a head shorter then Ruby,
"We know your a raging dyke Lucas and it make the other girls uncomfortable when you stare at them, Noone intrested in you that way,"
"Like I said, I'm not staring at them," Ruby shot back, narrowing her green eyes down at Regina,
"Do enlighten me then Lucas, who exactly are you staring at? Oh gods, you where staring at me weren't you?" Reginas brain seemed to click by itself and Rubys m I uth dropped open. She was in for it now, Regina had figured it, she was screwed. "Well that reaction confirmed it," The cheerleader laughed and smirked that smirk that sent shivers down Rubys spine, "see you around Lucas," Regina wore her smirk as she wiggled away, it seemed like she put more effort into her hip sway more then usual.
And now Ruby lay on her dorm bed, mentally kicking herself as she remembered what had been done and said.
After the stand off she'd come straight back to her stared dorm and flopped onto her bed, where she laid now. She should be doing her business class coursework, since her Granny wanted her to takeover the family cafe when she graduated, but Ruby was still lying face down on her bed. She was still like that when her roommate entered the room,
"Hey there Regina Lover," Belle French closed the door with an almost irritated snap and Ruby groaned,
"The whole campus knows now don't they?" She asked into her pillow,
"And half the teaching staff," Ruby groaned again and rolled onto her back, finally making eye contact with her room mate, "what have I done Belle?"
"Well by the sounds of the rumours, you didn't do much, Regina figured it out. You know she is quite jntelligent despite the whole head cheerleader factor," Belle spoke with a thoughtful tone, sitting at the desk on her side of the room, as Ruby propped herself up on her elbows, she realised that Belle had at least 30 new books on her desk, which had grown from the 20 she had the day before,
"Extra reading again?" Ruby asked, eyeing the stack, Belle shrugged straighten the book pile slightly,
"Something like that I guess," the other girl shrugged, "I think the more pressing question is what are you gonna do now you've officially been outted as gay and crushing on Regina Mills," Ruby groaned again and flopped back onto her bed, covering her face with her hands,
"I'd dying an option?"
"Sadly. It's not."
