An AU Wynonna Earp fanfiction in Waverly's point of view.

Waverly Earp is a Senior in high school, head cheerleader, and dating the hottest guy in school, Champ Hardy. But when the new girl at school, Nicole Haught, introduces herself and the two become fast friends, Waverly starts to notice some things about herself. One: her new best friend is totally hot. And two: she might not be as straight as she thinks.

"Waves, you're gonna be late for school!" Wynonna shouted through my bedroom door.

I sighed as I finished braiding my hair. "I'm almost done!" I shouted back.

I finished my braid and then looked at myself in the mirror, adjusting my crop top and high-waisted jeans. When I felt that I looked as hot as I could get, I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. Willa and Daddy sat at the kitchen table, eating breakfast.

"Morning, Daddy," I greeted, kissing his cheek.

He grumbled in response, not looking at me. I sighed.

"Morning, Willa," I said, looking at Willa now.

Willa looked up at me, but said nothing. I swallowed and then turned to grab a banana.

"Hey, come on, baby girl. We gotta get going," Wynonna said, grabbing her keys.

I nodded and followed her.

"Have a good day," Willa said as I walked out.

"Thanks," I replied.

Daddy didn't say anything. He hadn't been the same since Mama left. Then again, he was never very involved in my life. Willa was always the mean older sister. She'd gotten a little bit nicer as we grew up, but it still feels like she hates me. Wynonna was always nice to me. She was the only one who celebrated my birthday. Asked me how school was, or actually bothered to go to back-to-school nights, or even took me to school and picked me up. One day when she was at work, I had to walk home all by myself, and the Homestead is pretty far away from school.

"You wanna stop and get some breakfast?" Wynonna asked as we got into her truck.

"I have a banana," I told her.

Wynonna nodded and started the truck. The whole drive to school, Wynonna asked me about school and my friends, and my boyfriend, Champ.

"Honestly, I don't even know what you see in Champ," she laughed.

I giggled. "I don't know... I mean, it was him or Tom," I told her.

"What, they both asked you out at the same time?" Wynonna asked.

"Yep. And a few other guys... Most of them were jackasses."

"Champ is a jackass."

"Sometimes."

"Is he good in bed?"

"Wynonna!"

"What? As your big sister, I'm entitled to know these things!"

"No! I am not telling you about my sex life!"

"Oh, come on!"

"Fine... Not really..."

Wynonna laughed. "Why?"

I shrugged. "I don't know... I just never feel like doing it."

"Maybe you just don't wanna do it with him."

"Maybe... But shouldn't I? I mean, he's my boyfriend."

Wynonna shrugged. "That's a question you gotta ask yourself, baby girl. I've never had that problem."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, I know."

Everyone around Purgatory had their own opinion about Wynonna. But the most popular opinion was that she needed to keep her legs closed. That's not something you wanna hear about your big sister no matter how much she slept around. Which, she did, I couldn't deny that. Personally, I don't see what the big deal about sex is. It's not that great, and it doesn't get any better no matter how many times I do it with Champ. It's just... bad.

Wynonna pulled up to the school and parked. She grabbed me and kissed my cheek.

"Have a good day, baby girl," she told me.

I smiled. "Bye, Wyn."

I climbed out of the truck and waved at Wynonna one last time before heading off into the school. I walked happily down the hallway to my locker and opened it. I grabbed one of my books and then closed the locker. As I was about to turn around, I felt hands grab my waist and pull me back. Champ pulled me against him and kissed my neck. I smiled.

"Hey, babe," Champ said.

"Hi," I replied.

Champ spun me around and smiled at me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. I felt his hands slide down and grab my ass. I pulled away and hit him with my book.

"Ow!" He exclaimed.

"Don't do that!" I told him firmly.

I pushed him off and started to walk away. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him.

"Oh, come on, Waverly!" Champ whined.

"No. I hate when you do that!" I told him.

I pulled my arm away and glared at him.

"You know I don't like it when you grab me like that in public."

"I know, I'm sorry, babe."

"I'll see you later."

"Come on, Waverly!"

I shook my head and walked away as fast as I could. I didn't pay attention and ran right into another girl.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention," I apologized.

"No, it was my fault," the girl replied.

"No, no. It was me, I-" I looked up at her and froze.

She was... wow. Just- oh, wow. She had short red hair, light brown eyes, and her lips looked so soft... I just wanted to k- What the hell am I doing? I blinked and smiled at her.

"Sorry. I-I'm Waverly. Waverly Earp." I said, introducing myself.

The girl smiled back. "Nicole. Nicole Haught."

Yes, you are.

I mean... What?!

"Pleased to meet you... Nicole Haught."

"The pleasure is all mine, Waverly Earp."

Nicole smiled again and I couldn't stop myself from blushing like crazy. Her dimples made my heart do jumping jacks. What is this?

"A-are you new?" I asked her.

"Yeah. I moved here from the city," Nicole told me.

"City girl, huh? I bet you know how to have a good time," I flirted.

Oh, God, what am I doing?

Nicole was still smiling. "I guess so. But from what I hear, it's the small town girls who really know how to have some fun."

I couldn't tell if she was flirting back, but it really seemed like she was.

"Come to one of our parties some time and see for yourself," I told her.

"Maybe I will," she replied.

I smiled and nodded. "Okay, well, do you need someone to show you around?"

Nicole nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that, actually."

"Okay. Well, right this way," I told her.

We started walking down the hallway together, and I kept glancing at Nicole from the corner of my eye every once in awhile. I don't know what it is about her... She's just so... gorgeous.

I showed her around the school, and even sat near each other in class. She was surprised to find out that we have a lot of the same classes. Technically, at my age, I should be a Junior, but I got bumped up a grade because I'm smarter than a lot of the other kids my age. Nicole seemed to like that about me, which made me feel really good. No one besides Wynonna celebrated the fact that I was smart. Not even Champ. There were actually a few rumors going around that Champ was only dating me because people think I'm the hottest girl on the cheer squad.

"What do you want to do after graduation?" Nicole asked me as we sat in the back field after school was over.

"I want to study ancient cultures and languages," I answered.

"Wow. That's really cool," she replied.

I smiled. "What about you?" I asked.

"I'm gonna go to the police academy in the city. Maybe get a job at the sheriff's department."

"You wanna be a cop?"

"Yeah."

"Why?" I asked, curious to know her reasoning.

Nicole shrugged. "I don't know... I've just always wanted to," she replied.

I nodded slowly, opening my mouth to respond, but I was interrupted by the sound of Champ's voice.

"Waverly!" He shouted, jogging towards us.

I looked up, sighing.

"Who's that?" Nicole asked.

"Um... My boyfriend, Champ," I answered.

Nicole made a face. "Champ?" She questioned.

Champ reached us and sat down in the grass next to me.

"Babe, I've been looking for you all day!" He said.

"Sorry, I was showing Nicole around school," I replied, not looking at him.

"Oh, come on, you're not still mad at me, are you?" He asked me, beginning to kiss my cheek repeatedly, trailing down to my neck.

I saw Nicole tense up out of the corner of my eye, and I felt bad. I really shouldn't feel bad. I'd just met this girl, and I didn't even know what was going on with her yet.

"Um. I'm gonna go ahead and take off, Waverly." Nicole spoke, standing up and brushing the grass off of her jeans.

I looked up at her. "Oh... Are- are you sure?" I asked, not wanting her to leave.

"Yeah. I have your number. I'll text you later," she told me.

I nodded. "O-okay."

Nicole smiled at me one more time before turning around and walking off. I couldn't stop myself from watching her leave. She has a really nice butt... Wow, I need to stop. I sighed as Champ stopped kissing me and watched Nicole leave as well.

"New girl?" He asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Cool," Champ said, returning to kissing my neck.

I tried my best to act like I was into it. I was beginning to realize that I didn't really like Champ anymore... or that I never really did. The way I felt when Nicole looked at me, even though we'd just met, was something new... I'd never felt that way before.

Shit, I think I'm gay...

I'm just gonna keep that to myself for now...

Champ looked at me. "You okay?" He asked softly.

I looked at him and nodded, giving him my sweetest smile. "I'm fine," I replied.

"Wanna come to my place?" He asked, grinning.

He wanted to have sex... Maybe that would distract me from Nicole? That was a terrible idea but I mean, what did I have to lose?

I nodded. "Okay," I told him.

We stood up and he grabbed my hand, leading me to the parking lot. While we walked, I pulled out my phone and texted Wynonna.

Wav: I'm going over to Champ's. I'll be home late.

Wyn: tell captain sleazy to wear a condom.

I rolled my eyes and smirked a bit. I climbed into Champ's truck and we drove to his house. When we got there, we got out of the truck and went straight to Champ's room. He closed the door behind us and kissed me. I kissed him back trying to get myself excited (though, to be honest, I was never excited). We ended up on his bed, taking each other's clothes off. Right before anything actually started, I looked at him quite seriously.

"Condom." I said firmly, giving him the best face I could that said I meant it, as he likes to forget.

Champ sighed and got up to go get one. He realized he didn't have any, so he tried to come back onto the bed with me.

"No. Condom, Champ. I'm serious," I told him, pushing him away.

"But I don't have any more!" He protested.

How could he not have any more? We don't have that much sex. I shook my head.

"Then go buy some," I told him.

"Now?"

"Yes, now. Go."

"Fine. But you stay here."

"Fine."

Champ kissed me and then pulled his jeans and shoes on and grabbed his shirt, putting it on on his way out. I sighed when he was gone and took my hair out of its braid, running my fingers through it. I heard my phone buzz on the nightstand next to me and grabbed it.

Unknown: Hi, Waverly. It's Nicole

WE: Oh, hey, you!

I smiled, adding her number to my contacts.

NH: Sorry for leaving so early. I know you wanted to hang out

WE: It's okay. I kinda forgot I had a boyfriend for a second there

NH: Well, do you still wanna hang out?

Oh, shit. What am I gonna do? I'm sitting here, in my bra and underwear, waiting for Champ to get back from the store with condoms! I can't tell her that! Ugh. This is horrible!

WE: Yeah, totally. It's just that-

NH: What?

WE: I'm kind of at Champ's right now...

NH: Oh... You guys were gonna...?

WE: Uh.. yeah... But he's gone right now... And between you and me... I'd really rather hang out with you

After I sent that text and immediately locked my phone and put it at my side, covering my face. I can't believe I just said that her... I'd rather hang out with her than have sex with my boyfriend? Well, it's not like it wasn't the truth, but damn it, Waverly, what happened to trying to keep this whole thing to yourself?

My phone buzzed again. I picked it up, seeing a new text from Nicole.

NH: Then make something up :)

I smiled a bit.

WE: I could tell him that my sister needs my help with something?

NH: Perfect.

WE: Good.

NH: Text me when you're out and I'll come get you :)

WE: Sure thing :)

I put my phone away and got up, putting my clothes on. Just as I finished buttoning my jeans, Champ walked in and frowned when he saw me.

"What? Oh, come on. Don't tell me you're leaving!" He exclaimed.

"I have to. Wynonna needs my help with something," I told him.

"She can't wait?" Champ questioned, stepping in my way.

"No. But you can. I'll see you later, Champ." I walked around him.

I left his house and shakily pulled my phone out of my pocket.

WE: I left his house.

NH: Where are you?

I texted her the street name and she told me she'd be there in a few minutes, so I stood and waited for her. When she pulled up in her car, I felt my heart beat faster. I smiled. This was such a scary and exciting feeling. She rolled the window down and smiled at me.

"You gonna get in or what?"

I chuckled a bit and then opened the passenger door, climbing into the car.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Hey," Nicole replied.

She started driving and I felt more and more relieved as we got further from Champ's house. We decided to go out to eat at the local diner, sitting across from each other at the booth. Nicole looked so beautiful... I tried to keep myself from staring at her, but it wasn't working. She was busy looking over the menu, trying to find something she liked.

"Help me out here, Waverly. You're the one who's lived here your entire life," Nicole said, laughing.

I pulled her menu down and looked at it. "Mm..." I hummed as my eyes scanned the menu.

I pointed at my favorite thing on the menu.

Nicole looked and laughed quietly. "Cinnamon roll pancakes?" She questioned, looking up at me.

I nodded, biting my lip. "They're really good here..." I was blushing again. God, Champ never makes me blush like this.

Nicole shook her head a bit, smiling. "Alright. I'm trusting you, Waverly Earp."

When the waitress came over to take our order, we both ordered the same thing. I pulled my phone out and saw a few texts from Wynonna.

Wyn: where are you?

Wyn: champ is bugging me about what I needed you for

Wyn: jesus, wave! seriously, where are you?

Seeing Wynonna say that Champ was bugging her made me panic, so I texted her back.

Wav: You didn't tell him that you didn't actually need me, did you?

Wyn: of course not. but where are you?

Wav: I'm at the diner with a friend.

Wyn: a friend? are you cheating on champ?

Wav: No! She's a new student. We just sorta hit it off and we decided to hang out.

Wynonna took a few minutes to reply, and I started to get a bit worried. What if she told Champ? No, she wouldn't.

Wyn: did something happen with champ? is that why you lied to him?

Wav: ... Not exactly.

Wyn: what did he do?

Wav: He didn't do anything. I just wasn't in the mood.

Wyn: okay... well, make sure your new friend gets you home safe. don't stay out too late, baby girl.

Wav: I won't.

Nicole looked at me. "Everything okay?"

I looked up, putting my phone away. "Yeah. It was just my sister checking up on me."

Nicole nodded understandingly. "Do you have to go home?"

I shook my head. "No."

Nicole smiled.

The waitress came by and served our food.

Nicole looked at her plate with wide eyes. "Wow, this is a lot bigger than I expected," she told me.

I giggled. "You don't have to eat all of it, silly!"

We started eating and Nicole seemed glad that she'd trusted me, but she ate almost half of the pancakes before stopping. I ate a little bit more than what she ate, and we decided we were done and asked for boxes and the check.

"Oh, here. We can split it," I suggested, going to take my wallet out.

"No, it's okay. I got it," Nicole insisted.

The fact that she wanted to pay the whole check made this feel like a date, and that made me very excited. I couldn't be, though. This couldn't be a date. No matter how much I wanted it to be. So I stopped her.

"No. Let me pay half. I'd feel bad letting you pay all of it," I told her.

I realized that I was holding her hand and swallowed, pulling my hand back quickly. To make the action seem less awkward, I pulled my wallet out and handed Nicole some money.

"Um... Okay, I guess," Nicole said, taking the money.

I watched her pull the rest of the money out of her wallet and even set aside some money for a tip. I watched her hands. They were so soft. Not like Champ's. Champ's hands were rough. My mind went to a very... naughty place as I began to imagine what Nicole's hands would feel like on my body... Oh, wow. I felt all tingly... Down there...

Wow, Waverly. "Down there"... What is wrong with you?

I crossed my legs awkwardly and did my best to push the thoughts from my brain.

Nicole looked at me. "You ready to go?" She asked sweetly.
I nodded. "Uh, yeah," I replied.

She stood up and held her hand out to me. I looked at it, the thoughts I'd been trying to get rid of, just came flooding back. Dammit. I was doing so good. I just shook my head, and took her hand. She helped me out of the booth and then released my hand, grabbing our boxes. We walked out to Nicole's car together and then got in and just sat there for a while.

After a while, my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I jumped a bit, not expecting it.

"S-sorry," I muttered. I pulled my phone out to check the caller ID. It was Champ. I groaned and pressed "reject call".

"Did I do something wrong?" Nicole asked me.

I looked up at her, confused. "Of course not. Why would you think that?"

"I don't know... You've just been kinda weird since we ate."

"Oh, no. Y-you didn't do anything."

"But something is wrong."

"Kind of. Not really. I mean- I don't know. I'm just trying to figure something out."

"Do you wanna talk about it? I'm a good listener."

I smiled. "I would love to talk about it... With you... But I can't. Not right now, at least."

Nicole nodded a bit. "Okay."

She was actually respecting my wishes... Champ didn't even do that very often.

"It's getting late... M-maybe we should go home," I suggested, looking at the time.

"Do you want to?" Nicole asked.

"Not really... But my sister'll be worried if I stay out too late," I replied.

"Okay," Nicole said, flashing a smile.

We pulled out of the parking spot and I told her where the Homestead was. We sat in silence the whole way there, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was nice. When she pulled up to the Homestead, Willa was sitting in the rocking chair on the front porch. It looked like she was waiting.

"Is that your sister?" Nicole asked me.

"Uh. Yeah, one of them," I replied.

Willa glared at us from the porch. I frowned. She was mad.

"I gotta go. Thanks for the ride," I told Nicole.

She nodded. "No problem," she replied.

I got out of the car and rushed up the porch. I totally forgot my box in Nicole's car, but I didn't notice because I was so focused on getting inside before Nicole saw Willa yell at me... I didn't know if she was drunk or just pissed.

"Where have you been?" Willa demanded.

"Out," I replied.

"With who? Who was that?"

"A friend from school."

"You know damn well that you aren't allowed out this late, Waverly."

"Says who? It's not like Daddy notices!" I snapped.

I immediately regretted the words as soon as they escaped my mouth, and for a good reason, too. Willa raised her hand and slapped me across the face. She grabbed my elbow roughly and pulled me close to her.

"Raise your voice at me again, and I swear, it'll be worse next time." Willa threatened quietly.

I whimpered and tried to push her away from me. "Get off!"

She squeezed my elbow harder. "What? You think because you're so smart and you're graduating early, you get to talk to me however you want? Be a little smart ass? Huh?" Willa asked roughly through gritted teeth.

"Hey! Let go of her, Willa!" Wynonna snapped, rushing down the stairs. She pushed Willa away from me and hugged me. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Willa rolled her eyes. "Jesus. When are you gonna stop protecting her, Nonna? She's not a little girl anymore."

"Does it look like I care? Touch her again and I'll kick your ass, Will."

I clung to Wynonna like a child, holding the side of my face that Willa had hit.

"You're drunk, Willa. Go to bed," Wynonna said.

Willa scoffed and walked away.

Wynonna looked at me. "You okay, baby girl?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yeah.. I'm just gonna go to bed. Goodnight, Wyn."

"Goodnight."

I went upstairs to my room and changed my clothes. I laid down in my bed with the lights off, but didn't fall asleep.
