Hey guys!
This FanFiction is set when all the Grey's cast is in high school. It's not really set in a particular season so different story lines will be combined from a lot of them and a lot of different characters that may not have been in the same seasons will be in the story. It is CallieXArizona centric and basically shows how a teenage Arizona could have made a teenage Callie more comfortable with who she is.
I hope you all enjoy this story. Thanks!
Chapter 1
"I was raised to be a good man in a storm. Raised to love my country. Love my family, protect the things I love" - Arizona Robbins
Calliope Torres didn't believe in love at first sight, in fact, she didn't believe in love at all, not since George O'Malley, the nerdy awkward guy who could barely string a sentence together, had cheated on her with the hottest girl in the entire school: Izzie Stevens. Sitting in first period – maths – Callie couldn't help but remember George and his peculiar ways. It could have meant something a bit more sentimental if he hadn't been sitting at the front of the classroom, giggling away with Izzie. OK, they werent giggling but they may as well have been.
They weren't even together anymore, they realised that they had absolutely no chemistry together so just went back to being best friends. George seemed to think that telling Callie this had made everything better but Callie would have preferred it if George had just kept quiet. At least then Callie wouldn't have to know that her relationship was torn apart for a friendship that already existed.
Callie suddenly noticed that her jaw was clenched and her eyes were watering from a mixture of pure hatred and anger and also because she hadn't blinked for a while. She blinked away the tears but continued to stare at the pair in the front of the classroom. The pair that had ruined her life. The pair that had absolutely no clue that they had caused Callie so much pain. They were just completely oblivious and she hated them for it.
Calie forced herself to tear her eyes away and felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned to look who it was and was greeted by Cristina Yang "Hey, Callie, can you tell Mer that McDreamy is totally with McNursie just to make her McJealous," she whispered.
"What?" Callie whispered back, she had no clue what Cristina had said. Something about Meredith definitely. It was always something about Meredith. The two of them were inseperable, best friends who would do anything for each other. The Twisted Sisters people called them. Callie longed for someone who could be there for her like Meredith and Cristina were for each other.
Cristina rolled her eyes at Callie's incompetence and repeated, making more sense. "Derek is with Rose to make Meredith jealous," she explained. Derek was Meredith's ex. He moved schools because he got expelled from his last one and then got to together with Meredith, only for her to find out that he was already with someone from his old school. But Derek chose Meredith and they were happy for a while but the whole school knew that Derek was trying to push Meredith to have sex with him so she broke it off at the end of the school year.
"Oh, right, um…" Callie started, unsure of what to say. All that was going through her head was why is Cristina calling Rose, McNursie? She saw that Cristina was glaring at her, motioning towards Meredith, who was sitting next to her and looked completely oblivious to everything that was going on. "Yes, totally. McDreamy is just trying to make you McJealous, with… McNursie," Callie finished.
"Thank you," Crisitina said. "See Mer, everyone knows that McNursie is just his rebound girl,"
"Cristina. Seriously, Derek can do what he wants, I broke up with him. McDreamy and I are finished. I am over him," Meredith insisted, pulling Cristina back into her seat.
"So why are you still calling him McDreamy?" Callie heard Crisitina reply quietly.
"Cristina!" Meredith snapped back.
"Yang. Grey. Am I boring you? Stop talking," Mr Keyes instructed. Cristina rolled her eyes again but luckily, the teacher didn't see.
For the next 15 minutes, class went pretty ordinarily for Callie. Meredith and Cristina got told off again, Mr Keyes continued to lecture about trigonometry and Callie drew on her jeans mindlessly. She was trying to forget everything about Izzie and George but failed miserably and just ended up hating Izzie more than she already did.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door which pulled Callie out of her daydream where Izzie was getting expelled for turning up to school in her underwear. Callie turned and saw a girl standing there. She's beautiful. Callie thought, then quickly got rid of it. Ever since she had kissed Erica Hahn, Callie had been confused about her sexuality. She didn't want anybody to know. She dreaded to think what would happen if her parents found out. So she hid it by sleeping with the sexiest guy in the year: Mark Sloan.
"Ahh," started Mr Keyes, "You must be the new student," he said, greeting the blonde girl.
"Yes. I'm Arizona. Arizona Robbins. Named for the battleship, not the state," Arizona flashed a smile and caught Callie's direction. Callie blushed and put her head down quickly so no one would notice. Why is her smile so perfect? Callie thought.
"Right then Arizona the battleship," Mr Keyes answered, trying and failing to be amusing. "You can sit over there, in front of Callipi. Sorry, I don't know if I said that right?" he finished, directing the question towards Callie.
"Er, um… it's Calliope, but Callie's fine," Callie answered, embarrassed by the confrontation. Everyone was looking in her direction now and could most definitely see her bright red cheeks. Mr Keyes nodded and Arizona flashed another smile, this time in Callie's direction. She made her way to the desk, smiled again at Callie and then sat down. Completely mortified, Callie put her head on her desk and tried not to cry out of pure humiliation.
Her stomach was flipping around and doing weird things. She felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. But she breathed slowly: in through her nose, and out through her mouth.
What was happening to her?
Calliope Torres didn't believe in love at first sight, in fact, she didn't believe in love at all. But somehow, Callie could feel herself falling for this beautiful and totally out-of-her-league blonde girl.
Falling hard.
Thank you so much for reading... I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I tried to include some of my most favourite Grey's quirks; the twisted sisters, McDreamy and other 'Mc' words, "seriously?" and of course, Mark Sloan :) Please review if you'd like to.
