Leslie Shay peeked aside. The girl beside her was still busy with filling in the answers on the test and Shay was carefully so their teacher wouldn't caught her looking. Margaret Fisher sat up a little bit, threw her long auburn hair backward so it landed in perfect curls on her back, checked her answers one more time and turned the paper around. She looked around to see if the others were finished as well and caught Leslie looking at her. She gave her one of her friendly smiles and looked back at her own paper.

Shay tried to hide her blush by looking back on her test, finishing it and turning the paper around. She counted the minutes untill the school bell finally gave them the sign they could leave the classroom and as soon as the bell rang out, Leslie walked out of the classroom. She wasn't sure what it was, but something made it impossible to keep her eyes off Margaret.

''Leslie! You forgot your watch.''

Margaret chased her down the hall and handed the watch to Shay as she turned around. Shay felt stupid, she always got the watch from her wrist because she didn't like it around her wrist with a test and she took it from Margaret's hands.

''Ah, t-thank you.'' Shay stammered and Margaret turned around again as she walked to her own friends. Shay continued walking down the hallway and met up with her friends. To be honest, she wasn't so sure if they were really her friends of just the people she had lunch with and she grabbed a chair and joined the table.

''How did your test go?''

''Meh'' She shrugged and Kelly Severide shook his head; ''You have to graduate this year, remember.''

''I know.'' She nodded. Her eyes were focussed on the group of girls at the other side of the canteen. They were all pretty and popular and between them was Margaret. Confused Shay looked down in her lunchbox.

''What is it?'' Kelly said worried.

''Nothing.'' Shay sighed then and she stood up to get a bottle of water from the vending machine. What if she was really in love with Margaret? No, that couldn't be. She would get a boyfriend eventually and that she felt like she was only single person in senior year shouldn't mess with her head. Her mom would never approve. Besides, it was not like Margaret would ever love her.

After school she went home. It was raining and she blamed herself she hadn't taken an umbrella as her mom had told her too. It wasn't far to her home, but still she came home, soaked.

''Told ya to take an umbrella.'' Her mother said as she handed her daughter a towel. Shay dried her face and hair.

'''How was school, sweetie?'' Joan Shay smiled and Shay said good and nodded, walking up the stairs. In her room she threw her bag in the corner of the room and sat down at the desk. She knew she probably had to learn history. But grabbing her book she couldn't stop thinking about the smile Margaret had given her today.

Staring out of the window into the rain she thought back about today. Did Margaret get home without getting soaked? Probably, she couldn't imagine Margaret not looking perfect with her curls and her girly dresses.

''Leslie, dinner!''

Sitting down next to her parents she waited untill her mother was done praying, exchanging some looks with her father. If it wasn't just for Margaret never loving her, it was for her mother whom would never approve.

The last hour of the day was PE and Shay got ready to run. After the rain of yesterday the sun was finally shining again. As Leslie was used to running for four days a week, she was the fastest in class and she was done with the three rounds before most had even finished the second and she walked to the teacher, asking if she could drink some water.

Running away from the PE track in the locker room she was surprised to see Margaret sitting on the bench, reading a book.

''Not participating?'' Shay asked as she drank some water. Not that she hadn't seen yet that Margaret wasn't running between the other pupils, but this was the first time they were alone and Margaret looked up; ''No, I hurt my ankle while doing ballet.''

''Ah, that sucks.'' Shay said and Margaret nodded and looked back in the book.

''What are you reading?'' Leslie sat down next to Margaret. She looked up at Shay and smiled, closing the book so she could show the front: ''Carrie, by Stephen King.''

''I like that movie.''

''The book is better.'' Margaret smiled as she put it back in her bag.

''Usually is.'' Shay smiled back, shy. There were so many things she wanted to say to Margareth but there was nothing she could say. She looked her in the eyes finally and slowly bend forward. So...this was going to be her first kiss?

She finally closed her eyes and when she thought she would finally feel Margaret's lips against hers she heard gasps and laughter. Opening her eyes she say how Margaret had jumped up from the bench and walked away while the other girls from her class looked at her.

''Oh my god! I told you, she was always looking at us in the canteen!'' On of Margaret's friends yelled

Leslie jumped up and grabbed her bag from her locker, running away. How could she be so stupid? She could hear the girl calling her names and without even grabbing her coat or others stuff from her locker she ran home.

''I thought you had PE until four?'' Her mother walked into the hallway and Leslie threw her bag on the ground as the tears started to stream from her eyes.

''I... I tried to kiss... a girl.'' She said as her lip was shaking.

NOTE: A view into Shay's high school senior year. Of course she and Kelly were already friends although I think there is age difference between them in the show, but since I am not sure I did not label this as AU

I hope you liked it! Should I continue this? Thank you for reading and please tell me what you think about it.

Cookies for whoever guesses where the title came from!

I don't know which movie the picture is from, honestly. I was just lookin for a picture of Lauren German when she was younger and I found this but could not find the movie.
