High School Hottie
Emma Swan finds herself crushing on a girl that is clearly out of her league the cheerleading captain, captain of the debate team and homing queen, Regina Mills. The most popular girl in school could never fall for the school nerd Emma was beyond your average nerd with her collection of Dr. Who and her obsession of Asian culture Regina could never fall for her…or will she?
(A/N I've made some changes to the story it's best if you read it on AO3. It's easier for me to update over there with the type of computer I have)
Chapter 1: Nice place you got.
Emma Elizabeth Swan was sitting in her lonely room on a Friday night watching a marathon of Supernatural while she was chatting with her friend online. She lives alone which she doesn't mind at all no one to complain about her collections over taking the house. In the living room was her Sailor Moon collection the hallway leading up the stairs is where a verity of posters were plaster on the wall: Dr. Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, Attack on Titan, Sailor Moon, Welcome to Nightvale, Homestuck etc. Emma had gotten into sewing as the main upstairs hallway was a showcase hall of the cosplays she had made Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts and Naruto. Since she has become an anime fan she has learnt how to speak and read Japanese as she watches and reads both the Japanese versions and English dubs some are better than others but the entertainment was still amazing. She was pulled out of her thoughts when the doorbell rang.
"Must be the pizza guy." Emma said to herself as she paused the TV putting on her Organization XIII coat because it was long enough to cover her without having to put on pants. When she got to the door the person standing there wasn't the person she was expecting of wanting to see like this.
"Evening Miss. Swan." Regina Mills greeted as she let herself in Emma's house without a second thought.
"H-Hi…wait what are you doing in my house?" Emma asked as she quickly followed Regina as she was putting things back into place after Regina moved some of the figurants.
"My plans fell through and I heard you weren't doing anything today. So I thought it would be nice to join you instead of going back home." Regina said
"Why would the most popular girl in school want to hang out with the grade-A nerd?" Emma asked
"Because you're the most interesting person I've ever met. You don't care how you look or what people think of you. You just do what you want without having to think of the recoil. You're what I want to be like. Not having a care in the world of the things around you." Regina said as she sat herself on Emma's couch. The blond girl gulped to herself as her crush was in her house sitting on her couch telling her that she wants to be more like her. Not all the force in the world could erase the blush that has crept its way onto her face. She coughed aloud clearing her mind of the many thoughts that sprung upon her while staring at Regina while hanging on her every word.
"I never thought someone as loved as you would want to be like a nerd like me. You're sitting across my figurant collection of Dr. Who and Sailor Moon. With that being said I was in the middle of watching Supernatural for the eightieth time." Emma said
"I have a collection of tech decks." Regina said
"You collect finger skateboards?" Emma asked blankly as she adjusted her glasses.
"I also collect Snapbacks every human being has their only collection of something. Yours just so happens to be what you call nerdy." Regina said
"Why are you really at my house?" Emma asked
"Robin was looking for me. I've told him many times I'm not interested in him at all and yet he still pursues me. I've told him that my heart is with someone else." Regina said
"Oh…who do you have your sights set on if it's not our star QB?" Emma asked with a bit of sadness as she failed to not let the disappointment come out of her voice that Regina has a crush on someone else that wasn't her. She should've known that it could never be they live in two different social lives. One is love and adored for being pretty and smart the other is bullied for expressing her love for the many fandom that she has been a part of. Emma was staring at the ground as she hadn't realized that Regina had gotten up gently pulling her chin up to look her in the eyes. Emma gasped as she stared deeply into Regina's brown eyes as if it were a scene from and anime itself.
"Why the long face dear you haven't even heard who it even is yet?" Regina said
"I don't want to know." Emma said
"That's a shame because I was under the assumption you liked me." Regina said with a devious smirk on her face.
"Y-You…ha-have a cr-crush on m-me…" Emma blushed
"I'm sorry dear did I make you uncomfortable? I have that effect on people." Regina said
"It's not that it's just…you're the queen bee. Why would you like someone like me?" Emma asked
"As I said before dear you're different. Your whole house shows for it." Regina said
"I'm still processing this." Emma said
"Well dear let me help you with that." Regina said as she pulled Emma into a passionate kiss. Emma pulled away with a deep blush on her face. As she grabbed Regina's hand and took her upstairs.
"I think you should see the thing I've made." Emma said
"You made these?" Regina asked
"Yeah I've worn them to cons. You want to stay over for the night?" Emma asked sheepishly.
"You're very talented Miss. Swan." Regina said
"I do my best your majesty. You want to watch Supernatural with me?" Emma asked
"I would love too." Regina said
*The Next Morning*
Emma's alarm clock started to play Disturbed's song Down with the Sickness she realized she had extra weight on her when she rolled over a deep blush crept onto her face when she saw Regina Mills sleeping in her bed with her pajamas with her arms wrapped around her waist. She grabbed her glasses from the nightstand. Yup that was definitely Regina in her bed she shifted as Regina started to stir kissing her forehead.
"Morning lovely." Regina said
"Ummmm we didn't do anything last night, did we?" Emma asked
"No dear we didn't we were watching Dr. Who as you planned since I came to your house last night and we must've fallen asleep." Regina said
"You want to go to the mall with me today? I was gunna buy me some more stuff from Hot Topic." Emma said
"I would love to go to the mall with you." Regina said as she pulled Emma into a kiss.
Emma and Regina walked around the mall hand-in-hand not caring if they ran into people they knew from school it's their last week of school before summer vacation finals are killing everyone but this moment right here just relaxing having fun with your girlfriend is the best feeling. As they left Hot Topic they did run into Robin Hood and he wasn't too happy with Regina being with Emma. He was under the false assumption that they were dating just because he was the captain of the football team while she is the captain of the cheerleading team. Upon seeing them hold hands he pushes Emma away from Regina as his friend Killian also grabbed Emma pulling him into his arms. Killian was the school's jerk always treating women as if they were objects and not people. Out of everyone in school Emma Swan was the one girl he persisted the most in.
"Keep your lesbian hands off my girlfriend!" Robin hissed
"What?" Emma asked looking at Regina with a confused look on.
"We've been dating since freshmen year! Now go be a nerd somewhere else." Robin said
"I thought you…you know what fine I should've known this was your sick joke to make a fool at of me." Emma said as she pushed Killian off her as she started to pick up her stuff that she dropped Regina glared at Robin.
"I'm not your girlfriend Robin. You need to learn that have nothing in common you hate everything that I'm into you don't like the people I hang out with you act more like a strict father than anything that is boyfriend material. Now leave me alone before I get really mad." Regina hissed as she picked up the rest of Emma's things as they walked away from Killian and Robin. As they were walking back towards the car.
"I'm sorry that Robin did that to you. He's a jerk." Regina said
"I'm just glad that you weren't lying to me. I've been lied to too much Neal broke my heart and I can't trust it with guys anymore." Emma said
"Your heart is safe with me. I would never hurt you I've been hurt in the past as well. My former boyfriend was killed while we were walking back to his place he saved my life we were about to cross the street when this truck came out of nowhere running three stop sign without stopping he pulled me back taking the full brunt of the impact of the car. I watched in horror as I saw his body hit the dashboard than falling lifeless to the ground. The man driving the truck was texting they told me the text message was I miss you I'll be home in a few minutes. I know how it feels to be heartbroken Daniel's death it changed me." Regina said
"I knew Daniel for awhile he was a great person it's a shame how he went out." Emma said
"There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about his selfless act to save my life while he gave up his just to I could live. He saw that truck coming before I could even look over my shoulder." Regina said
"It must've been terrifying watching someone you love die right in front of you. I had a similar experience." Emma said as she leaned against the bug.
"What happened if you don't mind me asking." Regina said
"After Neal broke up with me I didn't speak to him for the whole semester after I got over my heartbreak we started hanging out as just friends. We were standing in a store when a gun man started shooting up the place he pointed the gun at me Neal tried to grab the gun but the trigger went off he bleed out…his last words to me was…I'm sorry I broke your heart. Death is a cruel punishment that I don't wish for anyone to watch as someone slowly slips away from this world in your arms. We're both alive because of our exes." Emma said
"Is that why you still keep that key chain around your neck?" Regina asked
"It was the only thing he actually bought for me. As well as they only thing that helps me remember he dead saving my life." Emma said
"It still hurts to think about them." Regina said
"Yes it is. You can sometimes feel like they're watching over you…" Emma said Regina pulled her closer to her as they both were silence as they were talking about the only other person in the world that captured their heart and broke it in an act to save their life. The best and worst way to die.
