Ruby's POV
I've been trying to get hold of Regina all night! After our little talk yesterday we...well I made a plan to try and get her and Emma together but Regina didn't seem too into it, she happy to just pretend that these feelings she having for Emma aren't real and let them go away, but that's no way to live, for all Regina knows this relationship could end up being the best thing to ever happen to her, but on the other hand it could also end up crashing and burning...but either way she's going to have to tell Emma to find out!
I'm currently searching the halls for Regina but I've had no luck so far, she wasn't in the gym, or at the back of the school, or even at the science lab...now that I think about it neither was Emma, maybe they haven't arrived yet, or maybe they are of someone getting more familiar with each other...yeah no that's definitely not it.
The only other place I could think of was her locker, so I quickly half ran over to the cheerleading section of the school. On my way over I ran into Emma but she was in a rush and so was I so we only exchanged a hello and goodbye before heading in different directions from each other. At long last I finally find Regina standing at her locker, fixing her hair.
"Can you not answer a text?!" I shouted as I ran up to her.
"I had nothing to say...Miss Lucas." She said, looks like she really is ready to forget about yesterday, not on my watch!
"You're coming with me!" In one swift movement, I have Regina by the wrist and I'm dragging her into the nearby janitor's closet.
"What the hell Ruby!" She shouted at I locked the door.
"Oh, so it's Ruby now?! I thought I was Miss Lucas!" I smirked at her while she tried to push past me to get out.
"Let me out…" She said while reaching for the door handle.
"Not until we talk about yesterday Regina!" I said forcefully while pushing her hand away from the door.
"Fine! Talk then and make it fast, I have class soon!" She snapped back at me.
"And we both know how much you love class…" She shot me one of her 'I'm going to kill you' looks that I used to get all the time when she was still on the squad. "Okay I'll get to the point, did you talk to Emma last night like we talked about?" I asked and she simply rolled her eyes and ran her hand through her hair.
"No, I pretended that I was sick and went to bed early...I told you that I'm not going along with that idiotic plan of yours...whatever feelings I do or don't have for Miss Swan are not getting out anytime soon." She said while taking a seat on a nearby box of toilet paper.
"Regina, aren't you even a tiny bit curious to know if she feels the same way?" I asked while sitting down beside her.
"What if she freaks and I lose her all over again?" She asked, while looking into my eyes, I can see that she's really scared and I feel for her.
"Regina...these past few weeks Emma has been at her happiest and it's because you are back in her life, is there a possibility that she'll freak out? Yeah, there is, but no matter what I know for a fact that Emma won't be getting rid of you anytime soon." I explained to her making her smile softly to herself.
"I don't know Ruby...I'm still afraid." She laid her head on my shoulder, I was about to reply when the door suddenly opened.
"Is there any room in this school that you kids haven't taken over! This is supposed to be my space, get lost!" The angry looking janitor said while moving aside for us to escape.
"Sorry…" We both said in unison as he slammed the door in our face.
"Talk to her Regina, before she finds someone else...see you at lunch." I give her a quick hug before leaving without a response from the brunette.
Regina's POV
I don't know why she is so hell bent on me telling Emma how I feel! It's not like Emma is going to return my feelings, I've made her life a living hell for years and we've only just got our friendship back on track, plus she probably has a crush on some genius from her science class or something like, she wouldn't want to be with a rejected cheerleader who is failing science.
Luckily I had no classes with Ruby or Emma today, so it really gave me time to think, I still don't know if I'm going to tell Emma how I feel just yet, I'm going to wait and see if there is even a small possibility that she might like me back.
My day was going pretty good, that was until lunch. I was worried that Ruby would start pressuring me into telling Emma again, boy was a wrong. Instead, she sat quietly until everyone had arrived and then announced that we should play a game.
"Okay everyone, the game is simple. It's obvious that there is no trust between some of us so I suggest that we each go around and ask whatever we want of someone and they have to answer honestly, no matter how embarrassing it may be. You guys in?" Ruby asked while placing a fry in her mouth. Everyone besides me seemed to nod and go along with her stupid game, so begrudgingly I nodded and Ruby smiled wickedly.
"I want to start!" Elsa spoke up with looking at me. "Regina, why did you ditch your so called best friend as soon as you got to high school?" Elsa asked while smirking at me.
"Els!" Emma spoke up.
"She's allowed to ask whatever she wants Em, that's kinda the whole point of the game," I said, defending Elsa for once. "And you answer your question...I made the mistake of listening to my new friends on the cheerleading team, they somehow convinced me that Emma was a loser and that my life would be better off without her, but I know now that they were wrong and I'm ready to spend every day trying to make it up to her." I answered honestly, leaving Elsa looking shocked and Emma looking happy, Ruby of course just looked smug and Killian wasn't even paying attention like always.
"My turn now!" Ruby said breaking that silence. "Emma, is there anyone special in your life nowadays?" She said while smirking.
"Umm…" Emma said while going slightly red. "There might be someone but I'm not ready to admit anything just yet." She said before leaning her head on my shoulder slightly to hide her red cheeks.
"My turn!" I spoke up making Emma lift her head off my shoulder. "Killian, why haven't you asked Tink out yet? All you do is stare at her!" I asked while smirking at him knowingly.
"I'm just waiting for the right moment lass, what's your excuse?" He asked back making my mouth fall open.
"W-What?" I stuttered out in shock.
"I'm not as blind as you think…but it's not my place to say anything. Who's turn is it?" He explained before smirking at me.
"Emma's…" Ruby spoke up while smiling brightly at me.
"I don't know about you guys, but I want to know who Regina Mills is suddenly crushing on. How have I missed this? We live together!" Emma said while turning in her chair to face me.
"You don't know him dear…and that's all I'm saying unless you are ready to name names yourself." I said trying to get off the topic of me and my apparent obvious crush, so obvious that Killian has picked up on it.
"I'll pass on that one," Emma said before returning back to her lunch.
The rest of the day was uneventful, but I couldn't stop thinking about who Emma's mystery crush was. It's probably someone crazy smart and nothing like me at all.
"Regina, the bathroom is all yours!" She said while walking into our room wearing nothing but a towel. Instantly I could feel my mouth go dry and an unwanted heat started to come to life in between my legs.
"T-Thanks…" Was all I could get out.
"You okay Regina?" She asked while kneeling down in front of me to see if I was okay.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine. My mouth is just a little dry that's all. Now if you'll excuse me…oh and by the way Emma…you look good enough to eat." I said before winking at the blonde and leaving the room as quickly as possible.
Emma's POV
Was she just flirting with me? No she couldn't have been, Regina isn't even gay, she's probably just messing around with me. That's it, no need to give myself a headache thinking about all of this. But what if she was…I defiantly need to talk to Ruby about this in the morning.
