Gail sat outside her mothers office for what felt like hours when in reality it was barely fifteen minutes later, Sitting on the over priced leather chair beside the office she felt a great amount of mixed emotions within. In the normal world we would expect Gail to be petrified to the bone but her mind was too distracted to even go there to feel that way.

The shooting pain behind her eye brought her back to reality from her train of hot girl in her mothers office thoughts.
without much thought Gail rose from the chair immediately and practically sprinted towards Mary s desk demanding she gave her an ice pack.

While placing the ice cold pack upon her eye Gail had heard some movement beyond her mothers office door, before you knew it she was sitting back in the chair, this time the one facing the door so she could see the brunettes face as she exited the office.

"I expect to see that grade rise Miss Stewart anything lower and there shall be consequences" her mothers words were dripping with annoyance.

The brunette was now in clear sight as the door was opened fully , Gail couldn t help but gawk at the woman before her, her long toned legs, her arms, her figure *damn she s got great legs*

Gail s eyes looked her up and down taking in everything about her. Her long dark hair was hanging by her shoulders in loose curls, the brunette was wearing a pair of glasses she looked like a cute nerd and the blonde immediately sunk into the chair letting out a small sigh, there was something about a girl in glasses that just did something to her. Glasses to Gail were just so intriguing they made everyone like hot and mysterious with a hint of cuteness

"Of course Miss Peck" Gail could see the girl become quite timid and less confident in her stand when responding to the question that her mother asked then took in the sight of her daughter sitting in the chair looking a complete mess.

"Darling I shall speak with you in a moment, try not to do anything else stupid" the two teens watched Miss Peck roll her eyes and head back into her office.

"Hey" the blonde called out to get the brunettes attention

"Hey!"

"Hey"

"Emm you said that already" the brunette responded with a light chuckle

"Oh! Emm sorry, I knew it sounded familiar" the blonde grew shy and started to lose eye contact with the brunette and kept focus on her shoes, *slowly raising her head to look at the brunette again she let out a cough to clear her throat*

"I.. I.. I just wanted to emm apologize for before I really didn t mean to interrupt I honestly didn t even know that anyone was like in there I mean Mary over there didn t even tell me I asked her I swear I did but nooo she told me nothing"

god damn it Mary!" *she whispered under her breath while throwing a look the receptionist s way*

I really am sorry I hope my mother didn t go too hard on you after I fucked up *The brunette gave Gail a lopsided confused look that consisted of the brunette raising her eye brow and giving a small smirk*

oh crap I m sorry I hope I didn t offend you by swearing well done peck well don-

the blonde was cut off by the brunettes hand covering her mouth and telling her to shush *crap I was rambling again* Gail thought to herself before her body began to relax , she didn t even notice how tense she had gotten until the brunette had stopped her.

"Hey its okay don t worry about it things happen, Seriously relax its fine" holly spoke with a calming tone whilst rubbing her hands up and down the blondes arms in hopes of getting her to relax and it was working to her knowledge.

The brunettes eyes locked with the icy blue ones before her, Holly was in awe of the blondes eyes they were magnificent they told a story they showed so much emotion she could tell this woman was going to be something else and she knew there and then *I need to know this woman*.

speaking up again Gail knew not to be to pushy, she didn t want to scare her away

"Hey I didn t even catch your name"

"Oh god sorry I thought I told you" she reached her hand out towards the blonde "Holly Stewart"

copying the actions of the brunette Gail took her hand and shook it Gail Peck

Gail realized she may have held the brunettes hand and gazed at her for a little too long when she received a quizzical look from her , she snapped her hand back and apologized and began blushing again thinking she messed up already by making the brunette feel uncomfortable

"Seriously Gail stop apologizing!" letting out a small chuckle she noticed the blonde looked mortified, Holly reached out and grabbed Gail s hand and ran her thumb over her knuckles and continued to tell Gail that everything was fine and there was no need for her to feel embarrassed, Holly picked up on how Gail was holding herself and knew she felt embarrassed.

*SHE IS HOLDING MY HAND, SHE IS HOLDING MY HAND OH MY GOD SHE IS HOLDING MY HAND* Gail s mind was going wild, her heart was beating so fast she was in quite a dazed state that she didn t even take in anything Holly was saying to her she snapped back when her eye began to have sharp shooting pains again.

she jumped back let go of Holly s hand and gasped, her hands shot up to cover her eye with the ice pack which wasn t very cold anymore but brought a sense of relief

"Are you okay? can I have a look if, if, its okay with you?"

holly didn t want to scare the blonde so she stepped towards her slowly waiting for a go a head from Gail. The blonde gave her a nod and took her hands down, she got Gail to turn her body so the light was hitting the injured area. Ever so carefully holly brought her hands up to cup Gail s face.

Gail felt how soft and gentle her hands wear against her skin and felt trustworthy towards Holly. The brunette wiped Gail s cheek with her thumb ever so lightly touching the bruising area.

"Am I hurting you? because if I am please tell me"

"you re not hurting me, it feels nice!" queue the blushing from Gail yet again. *what is happening to me I am one giant ball of mush* Gail though to herself while biting the inside of her mouth to stop herself from being a smiling idiot in front of this amazing person. Gail locked eyes with Holly who was smiling ever so cutely at Gail who went to speak but before she could she was interrupted by her mother.

"Ahhhem Ladies " the two of them both jumped as if they were caught doing something highly inappropriate.

Holly let go of Gail s face and apologized to her principal wanting to get out of there as fast as she could, as holly was rushing to leave Gail grabbed her wrist and pulled her back so she was facing her, Gail had her back to her mother so she couldn t hear or read her lips.

"Hey em I was just wondering can I see you again? maybe later?" Gail whispered under her breath, still holding the brunettes wrist, she gave a light reassuring rub of her thumb across her wrist. Holly couldn t resist the look Gail was giving her, her pouting lips and icy eyes staring at her like if she gave the wrong answer the blondes world could fall apart, waiting for an answer she could see how scared Gail was, Holly got really excited about seeing the blonde again and her lips curled into an adorable shy smile.

"Of course you can, hey show me your phone ill give you my number" still holding onto Holly s wrist using her unoccupied hand she took her phone out of her shorts pocket and handed it to her. Holly put her number in to her phone handed it back and rubbed her hand up and down Gail s upper arm giving her a playful wink before telling her to call her.

"Bye nerd" Gail shouted towards the brunette who turned to give Gail a soft blushing smile!

once Holly had left she checked her phone to find her name in her contacts letting out a small chuckle when she found it, did that actually just happen? Gail was brought from her state of shock to the sound of her mother clearing her throat!

"Sorry mother I zoned out."

"Gail, office NOW.. I don t have all day" Gail was knocked back into reality and hurried into her mothers office.

Lunch time was Gail s favourite part of the day, she got to sit down and eat and tease her friends occasionally. Arriving in the cafeteria Gail was not her usual self she a lot quieter than usual, not in a way that she was upset about anything but quiet in a way that she was taking in things that had happened earlier that day. When the table began to fill up Dov came and joined her with the rest of the gang.

"Hey Gail hows your face?" Andy asked

there was something about Andy that Gail just could not stand. She was bearable but most days she was completely unbearable.

"Better than yours McNally!" Gail snapped

"JEEZZEEEEEEE Gail who peed in your cheerios this morning?"

although Gail didn t mean to snap she did she had just come from world war 9 with her mother and was just not in the mood, but if Gail was being honest as to why she was snapping at her friends she really just wanted to spend time with the intriguing brunette that she was causing Gail to feel this way.

moments later Dov s girlfriend Chloe appeared at their table and greeted Dov with a kiss and sat on his lap wrapping her arm around his neck.

Hey whats up with grumpy pants over here Chloe mocked, tilting her head to indicate she was talking about Gail.

"None of your business Chloe"

Gail took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts until she came across Holly s name taking a deep breath she opened the messenger and sent her a message.

Gail: "Hey Nerd"
waiting anxiously for a reply it came almost instantly as if the brunette had been watching her phone waiting

Holly: "Nerd? is this supposed to be like some sort of nickname?"

Gail: Of course! you look like a nerd, a cute one ;)"

Gail put her phone down and took a moment to recollect her thoughts, *this is happening* she thought to herself, Gail was very comfortable with who she was and didn t really give a care in the world for people who didn t like who she was. Gail always took a chance with flirting with cute girls in hopes of her so called gaydar working on her side.

Gail sat anxiously waiting for the phone to vibrate as her thoughts were going 90.. *what if shes not into girls* *what if she thinks i m a freak* *what if i m being to direct* *DAMN!* *what if she was only being polite towards me* she was starting to freak out her phone vibrated and Gail immediately picked up the phone flipping it so she could read the message as fast as she can, her palms were sweaty and she was nervous

Holly: " oh really ;) "

Gail smiled to herself and blushed slightly at the fact Holly had sent her a winky face in return.

Gail: Mhmmm a very cute one, what do you wanna do later?

Holly: "I don t mind i m easy going, I ll do what ever you want to do."

Gail: "how does dinner and a movie sound?"

Holly: "Sure, That sounds really nice actually"

Gail: "Good i ll pick you up around 7. send me your address? :)"

Holly: "sounds perfect, will do! see you later x"

Gail sat through the rest of lunch smiling like an idiot, most of the guys called her out on it but she just replied with a snarky comment and brushed them off. this was actually happening, Gail couldn t remember the last time she had felt this excited and nervous about something actually no scratch that someone.

Her last relationship didn t go to well so Gail was always hesitant when it came to asking girls out and all that mushy stuff but this girl was different she made Gail feel different she made Gail want to be mushy and soft! even though she had only spent like fifteen minutes with Holly she knew it there and she knew it now

she was hooked
