Of course Kara Danvers was well known in her high school. She was beautiful, smart, and athletic. She was also president of their United student body, among other clubs. Although the blonde nearly owned the school, she never let it stop her from being the most helpful person there. Everybody knew Kara Danvers, everybody wanted to be close to her.
Lena Luthor was on the opposite side of this spectrum, although beautiful and smart, she was far from athletic and friendly. She was president of a few clubs, mainly having to do with academics. The raven haired girl was elusive and spoke to few, opting to remain by herself.
Everyone knew of Lena Luthor-or rather they knew her last name- no one wanted to be near her.
In the beginning people expected a feud between the two girls, mainly because they were both well known, pretty, and people loved pinning girls against each other. They rivaled one another in classes, the only time Lena Luthor smiled is when she was put against Kara Danvers. No, the high schoolers were far from enemies, they enjoyed friendly competition here and there and smack talked throughout it, but they knew each other longer than they can remember.
"Alex, all I'm saying is now that softball has ended, i can take on more responsibilities!", Alex danvers was currently listening to her sister try and talk her into making another club again.
"Kara, i love you. I really do, but I also have responsibilities!" As alex tried to explain a girl sat besides them, eliciting a smile from the both of them.
"Oooooh, now i see. It's not what's stopping you, it's who"
Alex rolled her eyes and turned to Maggie, inwardly agreeing with her sister.
"She's trying to scam me into starting another club"
Maggie chuckled and glanced at her girlfriend's little sister, an evil smirk planted on her lips.
"Why not just ask Luthor? I'm sure she'd love to."
Maggie winked and took a bite of her fries. Just as the blushing blonde was about to retort, the person in question walked in- more like strided in. Lena Luthor always held herself with such grace and poise. Kara was sure she was a queen at some point in her life.
As lena made her way to them Kara was positive she was going to have a heart attack. Sure they were friendly but they never sat together! What would she even want? The blonde's thoughts were cut short by Lena's hand on her shoulder, "Can i talk to you?"
Maggie and Alex exchanged surprised looks, well Alex was surprised, and Maggie looked like she was going to topple over with laughter at any moment. Kara glared at her and walked with Lena, but not after hearing, "Go little Danvers!"
Kara was fixing her clothes trying to look more presentable, but forgot to listen to the girl in front of her, " I'm sorry, what? I was straightening myself out and completely zoned out!"
"That's ironic." The athlete was always comfortable with her sexuality, but at this moment she felt nervous. She didn't know Lena well enough know if she was okay with her being pansexual. And how awkward would it be for your crush to hate your sexuality?
"Anyway, i wanted your help with something.. You know Prom is coming up, and I wasn't going to go but the strangest thing happened," she was calm and collected until she got to the last part of her sentence, "Jack asked me out!"
Kara gasped slightly and the raven-haired girl took it as shock. "I know, I know. I don't usually date, you out of everyone know that. Jack is just so smart and charming though. I really couldn't resist- Kara?"
The girl in question stood there, dumbstruck. She's liked Lena Luthor since middle school. She tried being friends with her since they first met, Lena wanted nothing to do with her at first but warmed up to her eventually. She can barely get a hello, and now she's here having a discussion with her about Lena's crush. Kara was convinced the world hated her.
"Oh!- Oh yeah, that's great Lena! I'm happy for you! So, what did you need my help with?", with a fake smile planted firmly in place and tears struggling to fall, Kara listened to Lena devise her- their- plan to make Lena more popular. For Jack.
Kara walked back to the table Alex and Maggie sat at, clearly defeated. Alex was about to get up and comfort her when Kara motioned for her to stop.
"I am going to tell you what happened, but we are going to pretend to have a normal conversation. So smile."
As Kara explained what happened between Lena and herself, her older sister felt her gut twist. She knew the blonde was hurting, and so did Maggie. Yet, here she was, keeping herself together trying not to draw attention to them. Maggie slid her hand underneath the table to grab Alex's, they both needed an anchor or they'd launch themselves over the table and hold the person closest to them, the girl who looked like she just died inside.
"So I'm going to help Lena Luthor get with Jack Spheer."
At that moment, through gritted teeth, she swore she would try to move on.
