A/N: Don't own OUAT nor its characters. Trigger: for a few insults or something like that. Also use of alcohol :S
Shorter chapter, sorry. More afterwards … happy reading! xx
She arrives at Ruby's at 08:07.
"Hey lady! Gosh you look smokin'! Almost hot enough for me to forget you're late," Ruby winks.
"Really?" Emma asks in a shy way.
"Aw, aren't we cute tonight?" she teases.
"Save it, Ruby!"
On that comment she simply laughs and fastens her seatbelt.
"Are you looking for that someone special tonight? Or you already found someone you'll meet? You do really look extraordinary," Ruby states in a not so ironic tone for a change.
"Wow, Ruby. Is that the new word you've learned?" Emma counters annoyed.
"Yeah, really funny! No seriously…Tell me all about it," she tries again.
"Nothing, really. I was just in the mood for getting dressed up, you know? Don't act like you don't have those days as well!"
"Yeah, well okay. Sure thing," Ruby drops the subject.
Emma sighs annoyed. Whatever!
"We're gonna get Killian, too!"
"Ruby, no. I'm not even friends with him why would I wanna get him?"
"Em! Get over yourself! I like him, it's not like we're spending the whole night with him… at least you don't have to!" Ruby winks again.
"Urg, Rubs please. That's gross," Emma splits out.
"Sorry, love. Now go! Let's get him and then we'll get drunk."
"Hey lovely ladies!" Killian exclaims.
"Hey handsome," Ruby answers.
"Hey," Emma huffs.
"Well, you sound excited!"
"Save it, Killian," Emma states, her voice full of anger.
She starts the engine. Let's get there fast. I need to see different people. I kinda really hope to see this Regina. Strange…
5:49pm. Damn it; I've been stalking the blonde for a solid hour. I need to get going.
Regina takes a shower and then opens up her closet. What to wear? I wanna dress up, have fun and maybe get to know someone… a particular someone.
At the end she chose to wear tight black Jeans with a purple tank top. She chooses to wear a black blazer on top.
7:23 / Regina takes one last glance n the mirror after she applied her make-up – good to go!
She's quite on time, arriving at Sarah's at 7:55.
"Hello beauty queen! You look gorgeous," Sarah states plainly.
They're both used to the compliments of one another. That's just them.
"Why thank you! Same goes for you, dear!" Regina smiles.
"I'm really excited about this! We usually never go to parties together."
"Indeed. Let's hope I won't find a reason to never do it again, huh?" she smirks.
Wicked grin is on."Don't worry!" Sarah says happily.
As they drive to their destination. Regina's thoughts roam widely. This Emma girl kept sticking to her mind. She didn't even know her, it's pathetic as a matter of fact.
At around 8:15 they find a parking space near their school – finally.
"So many taken parking places! It seems like a lot of people are coming!" Sarah says. Good thing she's not driving – she's so bad at parking, really.
"Seems so, yeah!" Regina smiles.
Regina and Sarah enter the gym, finding it very dark and worked up to a night club.
"Impressive shit! Quite the feeling!" Regina purrs.
"In – fucking – deed," Sarah blurs out, unable to speak cause she' so amazed by the ambient.
They settle at the "bar", getting their very first drinks of the night. Regina protests at first since she's driving but Sarah insists, saying: "Oh, come on! First of all, we'll be here for a few hours, you can work the level down. Also if we do have had too much, we'll just walk!" Sarah tried her cutest look and duh… it always worked on the brunette.
"Fine, Sarah… fine!" Regina only sighs, thinking 'let's start this night the right way then.'
They take a seat somewhere near the dance floor.
"Let's start by drinking and observing, shall we? Till we reach the level that'll make us wanna dance as well," Regina instantly smiles at the thought of the state she'll be in, in about two hours.
"Awesome plan!"
About half an hour later the alcohol starts setting in. They feel good.
Right moment for Emma, Ruby and Killian to enter the party.
They actually arrived at the school area around 8:15 but since they brought their own booze, they stayed somewhere outside so that they wouldn't have to attend the party sober since they thought buying the alcohol at the party would probably be expensive.
So as they enter the 'Gym-party' they feel the alcohol, too.
Emma feels great. She got used to Killian pretty quickly with the help of the alcohol. Now she's all excited and pumped up to see … Regina (If she'd be honest with herself). She almost completely forgot that she may not even come tonight.
At first they go to the bar (of course), getting anther drink. With the help of the state they were in right now they didn't care how expensive their next drinks would be. Also it wouldn't be a real party without a drink in your hand and since they're not drunk yet there's always room for more.
Emma takes her drink and enters the dance floor with Ruby and Killian. She immediately regrets it though. Ruby and Killian get pretty close from the get-go and do weird, not to mention gross, flirty 'dance moves' and Emma feels uncomfortable even being in the same room with them even though the room is huge.
She sways her hips towards the end of the dance floor, not quite sure where to head next.
She just wants to stay away from those 2 for a while.
Out of the corner of her eye she feels someone watching. She tilts her head slightly to get a better but still unobvious view at her secret admirer if there was anyone at all.
Oh my… R-Regina? This is her, isn't it?
The moment the blonde found the brunette beauty her heart dropped. Even though she wasn't looking at her directly, she recognized her. 'Thanks dear internet.' Joy filled her mixed with nervous excitement.
Her brain didn't quite function anymore due to the alcohol. And also thanks to those newly discovered feelings that washed over her right now.
That's when she starts walking to where Regina is sitting, unable to stop, unable to think about the consequences, unable to know how to start this conversation in the first place. But it doesn't matter, nothing matters anymore when Regina's dark orbs meet Emma's emerald eyes.
At first Regina is shocked cause the particular blonde she stalked earlier is right now standing in front of her, staring invitingly at her… or wasn't she? Yeah, she was staring at her… HER.
Her hardened features quickly loosen up to a somewhat sexy smirk. What's gotten into her all of the sudden? Sarah, sitting beside her, looks confused and follows Regina's seductive gaze to discover the new student, Emma Swan.
She instantly notices what is going on between them. Sparks fly and it's awkward, at least for her.
"I think I'm gonna go, meet another friend, okay? See you later!" Sarah screams in Regina's ear, trying to be heard over the loud music that's blasting from the speakers.
Regina manages to answer with a quick husky "Okay."
She is so not prepared for whatever is going to happen next. No idea what is going on but she can't stop herself either.
