Lena and Kara have been working in class on the project for two days now and they still had so much to do.

"Why don't you just come over to my house after school? You can stay for dinner and have family game night," Kara explained during Mr. Hawthorne's class. Lena replied with a grunt while they worked on their lab project; instead of putting her attention to her partner. She wanted a good grade and all Kara wanted to talk about was everything but science.

"I don't know if I can come over. My mom is really strict when it comes to visiting friends. However, if you really want me over, I'll come," she stated. Kara squealed in delight and gave her a quick hug so that nobody would notice. After that, she helped Lena with the lab so that they could get it over with and not have too much homework on top of the math project.

It didn't take much time for the lab to get finished though since there was a science genius as a partner.

When the bell rang for lunch Kara waited for Lena at the door to walk with her to the cafeteria. She thought that since Alex didn't want her to sit at her table, she could sit with her friend instead. A few moments later the raven haired girl exited the room and gave a small smile in her direction.

"I thought that since we were working a lot with each other on school work and the project we could sit together.. Unless you'd rather not and then I'll just go find someplace else..." Kara babbled.

"It's not that. I'm glad that I finally have someone who would actually sit with me and not be embarrassed by it. I just don't want you to get hurt because of me. I care about you too much to see you hurt," Lena explained.

Kara sighed and stepped closer to Lena, looking her straight in the eyes.

"Well it's my decision to sit by you and draw attention to myself. I might as well get used to eyes being on me since that's a part of life. If they choose to rather believe you are like Lex, let them because then you can really prove them wrong in the future. And if I get hurt by anything they say, I already know you'll be there in my defense. Which is what I'll do for you as well."

Lena gave her a grateful smile and let out a deep breath as they entered the cafeteria together. As expected, it went quiet once everyone saw that the Luthor was walking with the blonde haired girl. They didn't care that there was an audience that much because at the end of the day they were just glad to be friends.

When Kara sat down everyone turned back to their tables and started chattering again.

The raven haired girl waited a moment, thinking about whether or not she should sit next to or across from the blonde. However, Kara decided for her and grabbed her hand. Lena was shocked but also grateful that she took matters into her own hands.

Instead of talking, the two of them were staring at each other and not sure of what to say.

Before Kara could say anything Alex approached the duo with a sly grin on her face.

"Well if it isn't Lena Luthor with my dear sister Kara. You know, I've heard a lot about you. I just haven't gotten the pleasure of fully meeting you. I'm Alex Danvers," she introduced, but when Lena put her hand out for a professional greeting, Alex ignored it. Kara saw Lena's face drop and grabbed her hand, which instantly got her to smile again. She loved her smile, even if it didn't happen as often as she'd like.

"Hey, Alex… If Lena's mom approves, can she maybe come to our house tonight for dinner and to help me dominate family game night?" Kara asked, looking at her with puppy dog eyes before returning her gaze back to the Luthor. After a moment of thought Alex sighed and turned to Lena. "You are allowed in the Danvers household whenever you want to visit. However, if you hurt Kara… you'll wish you never knew me," she warned.

"I completely understand. Hurting Kara is something I don't want to do. She's an amazing and goofy person. Getting rid of her smile would absolutely kill me," Lena confessed, trying to not look in Kara's eyes. Fearing that her eyes would give away how she truly feels about the blonde.

Kara didn't take the hint and leaned in closer to her. She wanted to understand Lena on a different level. It wasn't everyday that the brunette confessed something like that.

"I don't want to hurt you either," Kara whispered, getting Lena's attention away from Alex and back to her.

"You could never hurt me Kara; it's not in your nature." Kara gave her a bright smile, but Alex, seeming to see more than they could, interrupted their little moment with a cough and gave Lena a small wave, then headed back to her table to eat with her friends.

Lena, looking as if she forgot something, suddenly rummaged in her bookbag and then groaned and put her head down in frustration.

"Is everything okay?" Kara asked.

"Not really; my mom forgot to pack my lunch, so now I have to go into the line and get food," she sighed.

Since she didn't want Lena to get up and be bullied, she went into her backpack and got her food from her lunch box. There were two ham sandwiches, Pringles, and two Capri suns. Kara gave her one of the sandwiches and the Capri sun. Lena's eyes opened wide and she quickly gave the food back to Kara.

"I don't want to be a burden to you. I'll be fine getting food in line," Lena reassured. However, the blonde wasn't going to have no as an answer. So she returned the food to her with a serious look in her eyes.

"You'll never be a burden to me, Lena Luthor. Not now. Not ever. Eat the food please. I need you full and energized for family game night if we're going to win," Kara pleaded. With a sigh of defeat Lena picked up the sandwich and took a bite. She smiled in appreciation because this was the first time that someone actually saw her as a human being, and that's what meant the most to her.

As soon as lunch ended they both went inside Mrs. Watson's room. She was sitting at her desk reading a book, but her head lifted up from the page she was on when she heard Lena's backpack unzip. "This is a shocking surprise seeing you two show up early together! Nonetheless, I'm happy that Lena has finally had someone see that she's nothing like her brother. I hope that you two can always see the goodness in one another. The world needs more friends than enemies. If you two want, you can go ahead and get the supplies you need with the project.. Class doesn't start for about another four minutes," she suggested.

Kara gave her a bright smile and quickly gathered the supplies for their project. She brought over a ruler, a thermometer, and two colored pencils to Lena's desk and placed them down softly.

"We just need two more measurements of the temperature and then we're good to go. Since you didn't help me with the lab in science today, you can graph these last two points," Lena instructed.

Kara huffed in disbelief, but realized that was true so she shut her mouth and plotted the points like she was told. After they were on the graph she grabbed her ruler and made sure to graph the lines separately with the red and blue colored pencils.

"So does this mean we're done now?" Kara asked. Lena looked up from her design and saw that the graph was completed.

"It means that now we have to fill out that paper about each other. Be truthful because I don't want my grade to suffer," she ordered.

"Why would I lie? You're amazing, Lena! Nothing that anyone says will make me think otherwise," Kara stated. The Luthor smiled at the statement and realized then that the blonde would always be the only person, besides Lex, to see her smile.
