High School: A Tale Of Two Friends…
Sara/Greg-centric. What would Greg and Sara's relationship be like if they had met in high school. No flames, I promise everyone will be returned to their rightful characters by the conclusion of this fic… And No, I don't own them.
I've tried to page you twice
But I see you roll your eyes
Wish I could make it real
"I don't think we should go in there…" Greg said, Sara beside him as they stood outside the library doors.
Sara looked at him, "Why?"
He pointed to the group of people in the corner. "As amazed as I am that Nick actually showed his face in a library I'd rather not be in the same room with him."
"No. You're going to learn to put up with him." She said, dragging Greg through the door.
He pouted, "But, Sara-" his whining was cut short when she dragged him right passed Nick and to the computer lab in the back.
"Now," she said, turning one of the monitors on. "Was that so bad?"
He shrugged in defeat. "Okay, so back to the project…" he said, changing the subject back to science.
In the middle of their conversation Nick came in, taking the seat next to Sara. Greg glanced over Sara's shoulder, but returned his attention to their project.
"Ahem…" Nick cleared his throat. Sara turned in her chair to face him.
She rolled her eyes. "Can I help you with something?" she asked sarcastically.
He ran a hand through his short hair. "Yeah, you could. You can tell me why you're hanging out with this idiot lab rat when there's real men all around you." He said, turning on the charm.
She laughed, leaning on the back of the chair. "If that was your attempt to get me to start hanging out with you, it failed, miserably. All that did was make it painfully obvious how painfully immature you are. Now, Greg and I have work to do, so, why don't you go bug your friends, Stokes." She replied, calmly, turning back to the computer and Greg. "Where were we?"
"Ugh… How to explain the structure of the standard double helix." He answered, grinning.
Nick shot a glare at him and walked out.
About an hour later they had the majority of their project planned out and were leaving the lab. "Well, that was definitely progress," Sara smiled, gathering her back pack as they walked toward the door.
"It's nice having someone besides me who actually likes science in science class, I have no idea how Nick got into advanced chem…" Greg said.
She laughed. "Neither do I."
As they reached the street where they'd head separate directions, Greg turned to her. "Ya wanna come over tomorrow, to ugh...you know… work on the project?" he asked.
"Sure! I just have to ask my mom first." Sara told him, waving as she turned the corner. "See ya tomorrow!"
"Bye!" he called back.
"Carmen!" Sara called, in search of her older foster-sister.
The seventeen year old poked her head out from her room with Becca, their younger foster-sister in her arms. "What's up, Sara?"
Sara hesitated. "Can you ask your mom if I can go to a friends house after school tomorrow?" she asked.
Carmen stood shocked, Sara had never mentioned having even considered being someone's friend before. "Ugh, sure. What's her name?"
"Ugh… it's a guy. His names Greg. We're chemistry partners." Sara explained.
Carmen grinned, "And you like him…"
Sara jumped up. "What?" she yelped. "No! I just met him!"
Handing Sara the squirming toddler, Carmen picked up the phone. "Mom, Sara wants to know if she can go study with a friend after school tomorrow. She can? Really? Alright. Thanks, mom. Bye." Sara heard Carmen's side of the conversation and smiled.
Carmen nodded. "Yes you can go. And mental note: My dad is coming back this weekend, so don't make any plans for then, ok?" she said, retrieving Becca and returning to her room.
