Ch 1. Friends, and Foes

Callie POV

I look to my left to see my best friend striding in sync with me as we walk to meet our team. Today is not only the Division Championship for our league but also the last collegiate game that Addie and I will play in.

Addie and I hopped on the bus and took the back seats like usual only this time having the inkling of bittersweetness lingering at the thought of it being our last. Hearing a persistent tapping to my right in the window seat I see Addison texting away and giggling.

"Theodora has your juices giddy already this morning there Adds?" I say with a hint of seriousness due to Addie's blush.

"Shut it Torres, your just mad I'm getting some lady lovin' unlike you!" She says a little louder than necessary while looking at me out of the corner of her eye.

"ADDIE! Please c'mon.." A beat passes and she looks at me apologetically, "you really digging her Adds?" I ask with sincerity.

"You know Cal, it's early, but I have a damn good feeling about this one." Addie said with a glimmer in her eye that in all of the years we had been friends I had never seen before.

I smiled at her and she continued, "She said her and Arizona just got to the gym and they say it's beautiful! Like a dream court!"

I recently just found out about Teddy's situation with one Arizona Robbins. Arizona and her family had adopted her first cousin Teddy Altman into their family at the age of 6 after her family was killed in a car crash. No one ever brings it up but I happened to find out one night when Teddy was at our dorm crying in the comforting arms of her girlfriend.

Addie seemed to notice me perk up at the mentioning of a certain blonde- haired, blue eyed setter, and sent me a smirk, and then started busting out laughing when she glanced back down at her phone. "Oh my god! Teddy just said that Joanne tripped getting into Zona's truck, dumb bitch!" I gave Addie a confused look and she continued, "I just wish Zona would break up with her skanky ass already!" At the mentioning of Arizona having a girlfriend it caught my attention and making me think 'Arizona is gay?!' but then I thought '..gay and has a girlfriend...just my luck. Who are you kidding Callie, she wouldn't go for a closeted lesbian anyways, she's hot and probably has people lining up for her.'

With those thoughts coursing through my head, Addie noticed my internal battle with my thoughts and gave me a comforting hand on my shoulder. "You're good kid, everything will work itself out."

As we pulled up to the Ferryboat Indoor/Outdoor Sports complex I think to myself 'I sure hope so'.

Getting off of the bus and making our way into the main building, we were directed towards the gym. Along the walls I saw dozens and dozens of pictures of former Olympic gods who played in past years. I so dreamed of being on that wall either individually or with my team.

Walking into the gym I stopped next to Addie. Both with mouths slacked open at the enormity that was the gym, we couldn't speak, only look. We shifted from our spots when we heard a echoed "Babe!" run through the gym with a spandex clad Teddy Altman walking towards us. I have to admit, Addie did good with this one, she's stunning and just her type. When Teddy got to us she planted a lingering kiss on her girlfriends lips not bothering who was around and then came to give me a hug. Releasing she stepped back and put her arm around Addie's shoulders a kissed her temple.

"I hope you guys are ready for a hell of a game." Teddy said and walked away from me with a now giggling Addison.

I am standing by myself taking everything in when I look over to the bleachers at my left. There I see Arizona Robbins standing towards the bleachers with her arms folded. Clad in full uniform that if I say so myself, damn she should wear spandex all of the time because her ass pops! Im brought out of my fantasizing when I see Arizona throw her hands in the air. I'm not within enough distance to hear but when I see her shake her head at who I presume to be her girlfriend Joanne, I silently thank whoever is up there for holding me back before I went and said my pleasantries. Arizona is walking towards the locker room and Joanne is walking in the opposite direction; towards me. Before we pass, we make eye contact and she smirks while looking me up and down as if she hasn't eaten in days. When we do pass I see her start to turn her head to see me walk away. I shake my head asking myself 'Who in gods name would look at any other woman when you have Arizona Robbins all to yourself?'.

Those thoughts aside I stride into the SGU locker room to find none other than Adds and Teds going at it on the bench of the third row. I kinda don't know what to do as to whether or not I should make my presence known or what. Next thing I know I feel a presence next to me and I don't know who it is but they make me feel comfortable. Turning my head I see Arizona with her head cocked trying to stifle a laugh. But when that doesn't happen she lets out the cutest laugh but quickly tries to cover it in my shoulder while placing her hand on my hip though she probably doesn't realize she is doing that. But, oh my god. This woman!

Beach and vanilla.

Beach.

Vanilla.

That is all that is filling my senses as she leans against me, probably a little longer than necessary, but I'm not complaining. Finally Addison and Teddy break apart when they hear us, both with ragged breathing and flushed faces. I see Arizona out of the corner of my eye smirking when Teddy says"Shut it Z, at least I'm getting more than you."

That seems to set something off in Arizona because the next thing I know I see her face fall and turn to hurriedly leave our locker room.

"Zona! No shit, I'm sorry!" Teddy says straightening herself out before walking away, but stops. "Good luck you two, see you out there." She gives me a salute type gesture and turns to give Addison one more kiss before saying a quick "I love you."...wait what?! I think we may all have been thinking the same thing because Addie looks at her girlfriend wide-eyed, me jaw slacked, and Teddy stops for a second, sends a quick shy smile over her shoulder and bolts out of the room after Arizona.

We both look at each other when Addie stands.

"Where are you going?" I ask still confused

"I left my bag outside the other door so I just need to grab it. I'll be quick"

With that I am left alone when not a minute later the team start filing in. Addie comes back as I'm doing my hair in the mirror and looks as if she's about to say something.

"IJUSTSAWJOANNEMAKINGOUTWITHSOMEGUYOUTSIDEWHATDOIDO?!"She says quickly only allowing me to catch the name Joanne and making out.

I look at her and say, "Really Addie? Your gonna tell me that Arizona and Joanne were making out? My god I thought you had at least a tiny hint that I have a huge crush on Arizona, God da-"

I am cut off by a hand over my mouth and lock eyes with Addison. "Of course I know that Cal! I think it's great and would personally rather have you with Arizona that that slut bag Joanne, but that's not what I said. It wasn't Arizona she was making out with...it was a guy. "

I feel anger bubble up inside me and already feel me hating this woman I don't even know. From the little time I have gotten to know Arizona from hanging with her, Teddy, and Addie I can tell she is a great, big hearted woman. How could someone cheat on her, or anyone in general?!

Addie looks at me and asks, "What do I do? I saw it and I just can't hide it! I should tell Theodora!...but no she's getting ready...ugh Cal help me out here!"

Trying to think rationally and past my hate towards Joanne I say "Wait until after the game, no sense in stressing anyone out, just tell yourself that you will tell Teddy after the game immediately."

After that we both continue to finish getting ready for our last came of our college career.

Arizona POV

"TEDS YOU ALMOST READY TO LEAVE? LIKE 3 MINUTES AND IM ROLLING OUT!" I said as I called through the spacious dorm to my cousin.

"YEAH JUST BRUSHING MY TEETH ZONA!" I heard Teddy yell back

As I walk out the door to go to my truck, I pull out my phone to call my girlfriend.

"Hello?"
"Hey Jo, I'll be over in 10 be ready."
"Ugh okay..."
"Okay then? Well bye babe, love you."
"Yeah okay bye."

I was left a little confused at that whole conversation...she was the one who wanted to come today...and I love you too? Is that too hard? I climb up into my Red 4-door F-150 Ford Raptor and start the engine. It sends tingles through my body every time and it never gets old. God I love to drive. As I am admiring my baby, Teds hops in the back and I quickly tell her to get in the front.

"Is Joanne still coming?" She asks with annoyance and confusion, which is quite the same way I am feeling now too.

"Yeah she is just being bitchy and I don't want to sit next to her let alone look at her for a bit." I say with no emotion

"Typical." Teddy says and I don't comment because it seems she is right because that is all Joanne seems to be lately..a bitch.

When we pull up to Joanne's dorm I honk the horn. As she walks out I notice she is in sweats and a baggy shirt. I shake my head wondering what the hell was up with her. She doesn't even have the decency to look nice? When she gets to the truck she sees Teddy in the front and opens the back door behind my seat. She goes to pull herself up and completely misses the step and falls into the truck. I try and hold back the laughter but just can't seem to and neither can Teddy as I watch her type away on her phone to who I am assuming is Addison. Joanne gets her shit together, gets in the car and pouts. I haven't and don't plan on acknowledging her for a while so I crank the radio.

When we pull up to the Sports Complex I just start smiling. We park and get out, Teddy and I with our volleyball bags in hand. Joanne walks up beside me and she gives me a shy and apologetic smile and I think to myself 'Oh now you want to be nice'. We get to the gym and all sit down on the bleachers.

"Jo, you want to go out to dinner tonight? Or hang at one of our dorms?" I ask trying to ease the tension that rose yet again.

"Uh, not tonight I'm going to a party at Brent's complex at around 9:00." She replies not making eye contact.

"Okay well I guess I'll go with you then..." I say leaving the sentence open because she has yet to ask me to come with her.

"Yeah about that, it's invite only on a list so not this time Zona.." she says still not meeting my eyes. I faintly hear Teddy say Addison is here and her leaving. Now I'm starting to get angry with Joanne.

"Are you kidding me?!" I harshly state not too loud, as I stand up and cross my arms over my chest looking at her on the bleachers.

"Sorry Zona I don't know what you want me to say because I'm going.." she says as if I was someone who doesn't mean anything to her anymore...maybe that's it, that I don't mean anything to her anymore.

I shake my head and walk off towards the locker room slightly hurt. I turn left to the other end of the bleachers to clear my head before I got to thinking too much about the situation.

Then I see her.

She is gorgeous. Stunning as she turns the opposite way to go to the SGU locker room. Callie Torres, Addison's best friend. I watch her walk away in her spandex that don't really look like spandex on her but I thoroughly enjoy it anyway, even thought I shouldn't. I don't know her too well but I know she has a crazy line hit as well as a shy side towards people off of the court. I have only hung out with her and made small talk with her when we tagged along with Addie and Teddy even though I wish it was more than small talk...woah woah woah. I have a girlfriend what am I saying...I don't cheat or think about other girls. As I battle with myself I find my feet moving on their own accord in the direction that the woman who is consuming my thoughts just headed.

As I walk into the locker room I see her just standing there staring. To get a better view at what she is staring at I almost laugh out loud! Addison is straddling Teddy whose hands are on Addie's ass while Addie's hands are up Teddy's jersey and they are just going at it. I see Callie look at me and I can't help but leaning into her back to try and stop my laughing. In the process I can't stop my hand from caressing her curvy- oh so curvy-hip with my hand, but I don't think she notices. When I lean my head on her shoulder I lean on her hair too and everything around me goes blank.

All I know in this moment is Callie. Callie and her perfume or maybe it's just her. But it's like mint and strawberries in one and I think I have died. I try to not seem to creepy and still seem like I am trying to hide my laugh when really I am just trying to savor the moment.

Finally Teddy and Addie realize they have company and untangle themselves. I look at Teddy while still in post laughing and she looks at me and says "Shut it Z, at least I'm getting some." Wow that one hit me hard, next thing I know I am quickly making my way back to our locker room. It's not that I was upset about her comment but it just made me realize that my relationship with Joanne has changed drastically. I need to do something about it even though I know it will hurt. I guess I will do it after the game because right now I need to focus.

Teddy comes rushing into the locker room and immediately finds me and starts rambling,"Shit Zona, I'm sorry I didn't mean it. It was an in the moment thing ya know, with interrupting me and Addie because man were we getting it. Ugh she is to die for...but that's besides the fact because I didn't mean it Zona I'm sorry-"

"Teddy! It's okay really. I'm not all that upset just a bit of shocking realizations I promise. It's okay!"I say and give her my dimples smile.

"Alright then let's get ready for war!" Teddy says holding out her hand for me to fist bump.

"Let's do this soldier!" and I pound her.

Let the game begin..
