Summary: What if Arizona met Calliope in Med School?

AN:

Ok, so I know I have said that my previous multi-chaptered story was my last multi-chaptered story… but I lied. Again I have an idea, I have mapped it out, and now I am writing it.

I was reading 'New History' by Skones – which is awesome btw – and realised I'm a little over the drama's in the relationship and am really liking the AU 'how they met stories'. So I thought I would have a go.

This is the first of 4 chapters for the college part of the story.

There will then be another 4 chapters for the Seattle Grace part of the story.

And. Here. It. Comes…


Prologue

Arizona Robbins entered the bar. She was a little relieved by the loudness that engulfed her. There was a familiarity to the bar. It probably looked like every bar at every university in the country. She looked around the bar and saw a woman who caught her eye. The woman who always caught her eye. Arizona had been at medical school for a week before noticing the goddess before her. They shared most classes, except electives. She had heard whispers. Lots of whispers. Campus was like a small town. Everyone knew everyone else's business and it just so happened, that Arizona Robbins had heard a lot about one Calliope Torres. She'd heard about the incredible grades, the incredible body, and the moron of a boyfriend who had very publicly broken up with her just weeks before.

She came out of her daydream to find the object of her secret affection with tears in her eyes, headed to the bathroom. Arizona didn't even think, she automatically followed.

"Hey."

"Hey." She was still looking in the mirror, trying to wipe the tears from her eyes as quickly as possible. To Calliope Torres this was just another in a string of embarrassments that that seem to make up her life.

"Ortho right?"

"Yeah, right. Hi." The brunette cringed. This woman knew who she was.

"I'm Arizona. Robbins. I'm taking the peds electives, but I've seen you in some of my classes." She paused. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, no… I'm fine. Fine." Her voice's pitch gave her away.

"People talk, here. They talk. A lot. So for the sake of being honest, I think I should tell you that… I know things about you… because people talk."

"Oh… you mean Scott? Terrific."

"It is actually, the talk, not Scott, he's an idiot. People really like you here. They respect you and they're concerned and they're interested. They really like you. Some of them really like you. You – You just look upset and I thought you should know that the talk is good, and when you're not upset. When you're over being upset, there will be people lining up for you."

Calliope Torres laughed nervously. She couldn't help but be drawn to this woman. She just couldn't understand why she had such a feeling in the pit of her stomach when her eyes glanced at the blondes lips.

"Wanna give me some names?"

"Well, I know I don't really fit into your type – but if I did, I'd be number one in the queue." She stops and smiles sincerely, letting her dimples shine. "I do know that any guy would be lucky to have you. So… how about we get out of this dirty bar and trade some tequila for some ice-cream. I know an awesome ice-cream place around the corner and of course, I am an awesome friend... so it'll be... awesome"

"That sounds…good." She smiled. Ice-cream and a new friend was exactly what she need right now.

And that is how Calliope Torres met Arizona Robbins.
