It's the first day of classes at Miami Beach College. The lecture hall is starting to fill up and the new freshmen come in both excited and nervous to start their first college biology class. Callie Torres enters the room and goes for the end seat a couple of rows up. Classes are starting later than usual this year putting the date at September 3rd. As she settled in for the class with her notebook open and in front of her, she took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves and take everything in. As her eyes wandered to the door she noticed crystal blue eyes looking sheepishly around the room as an apprehensive body followed them. Arizona looked up and froze when she saw the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. They were stuck in each other, bodies completely frozen, eyes shifting the slightest bits between the two to search deeply for something unknown. Callie opened her mouth to say something, anything to get some contact and communication with the blonde. She didn't know what yet, but she wanted to hear her voice, see if it was as light and soft as she thought it would be. Before she got the chance Arizona broke in.
"Bio 101. Right?"
The way Arizona's face scrunched up and her eyes still looked a little worried was adorable to Callie. Arizona gave her an expecting look.
"Wha-um yeah. Yes this is Bio 101 with Dr. Webber."
A giant breath released from Arizona's lips as she moved toward Callie taking a seat in front and I the left of her. Arizona turned around and found that the brunette was staring at her. Callie had been resting her elbow on the table with her neck resting in her hand when Arizona turned around, hair flipping with the movement. Callie hadn't even realized she's been starting as she sat up straight blinking. She was relieved when Arizona didn't show concern or panic on her face, she was sure she would have creeped her out. Instead, Arizona smiled and ran her eyes over Callie's body, or at least what she could see of it. Suddenly Arizona had a smirk on her face.
"You're a little trouble maker aren't you?"
"What?"
"You're shorts. They're white. It's after Labor Day."
"Ah, well-"
"Arizona"
"Well Arizona, you might find that I don't always do as I'm told."
"Is that so?"
"Mhmm."
Just as Arizona was about to reply, her mouth agape, Dr. Webber walked in the room.
"Good afternoon class."
Arizona lowered her voice to a whisper.
"Do you have another class after this?"
"Nope. It's my last for the day. You?"
"Same. Wanna grab something to eat with me?"
"Alright class, simmer down. This is Biology 101. If you're in the wrong class, this is your chance to get out."
"Sure." Callie said causing Arizona to perk up. "I'd love to."
With that Arizona turned around and Dr. Webber started class. Arizona tried her best to pay attention to Dr. Webber's introduction to the class, but she couldn't stop her thoughts from going to the brunette sitting behind her. Her long straightened raven hair with a small flip in the front where it was parted to the side; her full, glossy, rose colored lips; her firm, muscular looking thighs, her smooth, flawless, tanned skin. She couldn't even get started on her eyes. When they talked those deep brown eyes stopped on her. She didn't look around, or past, or through her like most people's did, they stopped right on her. They looked into her, but stopped right on her. They looked into her, but stopped when her own self stopped. Arizona was super flustered and couldn't sit still. She wondered what her best friend Teddy would say when she told her about-. Just then Arizona realized she didn't even know the name of her infatuation. How could she not know the name of the woman she was already thinking about going out and on dates with and so much more? Just then, as if reading her thoughts, Dr. Webber started checking the attendance, calling out their names. A couple of names after hers he finally reached "Calliope Torres." Before the woman behind her even said "here," she knew it was hers. She fell half in love with the name immediately.
"Calliope" she breathed out softly before she had the chance to stop herself.
"Just Callie is good sir." And with that he moved on.
He finished roll call and started with his lecture. Arizona went into a complete daze. Calliope Torres. Calliope. CT + AR. When she realized she was doodling their initials all over her open page she quickly turned it over realizing that Calliope could probably see it. Before she knew it the class that had started so slowly was suddenly over.
"Wow. So this is going to be a really hard class." Callie let out a sign and took the step down to be next to Arizona. They started walking out of the classroom to the hallway.
"We could always study together – I mean if you'd want to. I was pretty good at bio in high school."
"Oh my god, that would be perfect!" Callie had done well in her high school science classes as well but she liked the idea of having someone to study with. What dorm are you in?"
"Freeman Hall, second floor. You?"
"Same building, fourth floor."
"Well that'll be convenient."
Before Callie had time to pick up on the possible double meaning of Arizona's words she heard her name being called.
"Callie!"
Arizona suddenly had a sinking feeling in her chest as the tall, built guy approached them. Before she even had time to process it, that boy had his lips pressed against Callie's, right in front of her face.
