Prince and the Geek – Teen school AU, Regina is unpopular and un-liked, Jack is everyone's dream

Trigger Warning – Rape :/

0o0

It was always loud this early in the morning, just before the first bell signals the start of form. There were people running in through the entrance, there were things being thrown around and laughter was heard throughout the hallways. Jack groaned at the thought of it every morning. School.

Jack doesn't mind school, honestly, he's okay with it, he likes to learn new things in History, and he likes to read and write in English, he loves art where he can draw. It's the people he doesn't like when it comes to school; he thinks they're arseholes, always being dicks to peers, especially the ones who don't really focus on what they focus on. Ones who like to read and get good grades, instead of play sport and be nuisances they're geeks, those who like fashion and have the newest shoes or whatnot are popular just because of their money.

Arthur Pendragon, no one likes him because he pretty much stalked his ex-girlfriend when she broke up with him, then he got into a fight with said ex after he found out that she got with his best friend. He had a valid point; who wouldn't be mad at their friend for going out with what they considered their girl? Yet Arthur was the bad guy because he had forced Gwen into a long miserable relationship.

Mallory Cent, they don't like her because she's a Goth, but Jack can say she's one of the smartest and most mature people that he knows. He's has had quite a number of intellectual conversations with Mal and he doesn't understand why anyone would hate her, she's funny and smart. But people fear her because of who her best friend is and people just fear her because of… well Jack's not entirely sure.

Sydney Glass, he's a photographer, usually keeps to himself and only has one group of friends who are in the photography club with him. People don't like him because they accuse him of 'stalking', all Sydney does is take pictures of them for his photography workshop, usually those pictures are in the school newspaper or even in the towns newspaper. Jack also feels that people don't like him because of his skin colour.

Then there's Regina Mills, the list of people goes on and on and on, but for some reason Regina is pretty much at the bottom of that list. Her mother, Cora Mills, is a respectable member of the community, she's a nice woman with a temper; she was the Mayor and now is every type of board member you can think of.

Regina's father, Henry Mills, is the kindest man Jack had ever talked to; Henry is now the Mayor of the town, he is loved by everyone.

Regina's sister, Zelena, is an okay person, she looks out for her sister, she's older than Regina and had finished High school two years ago, and she now goes to NYU. Most people in town love the Mills family, they love Cora and Henry and Zelena, but for some reason everyone gangs up on Regina. They taunt her and treat her like crap, her only friend is Mallory.

Jack had known Regina since he moved to America when he was 11, and he had been infatuated with Regina since he was 11 and a half, he loves everything about her; her hair, her eyes, her lips, her cheeks… her ass… she's a beautiful person inside and out, and the conversations he has with her are the highlight of his day, she is absolutely brilliant!

A light pink tinge shades Jack's neck and ears as he thinks of Regina Mills, most people agree that Regina is a looker, but still they can't seem to like her.

His thoughts were broken when he heard books and paper crashing to the floor and he turned to see a head of brown locks bending over and picking them up. Regina.

He was quite far away so he couldn't hear what was being said but he knew that it wasn't good. Regina had bite, and for people like Killian Jones, who was an easy target, her bite hurts and angered (maybe that's why people don't try and be friends with her, she's good at pushing them away). He saw Killian's face turn red, eyes narrowing at her as he lift his hand, palm flat out and ready to strike, Jack got in front of him and grabbed his wrist painfully hard before he got to hit Regina.

"Abuse is against the law," Jack hissed, standing protectively in front of Regina.

"Yeah, animal abuse," Killian jokes.

"Which explains why I haven't hit you yet," a few people snickered at Jack's comment, "I'd run along Killian, we wouldn't want Millie to know about what you and Emma did, now would we?" Jack threated quietly enough so only Killian heard.

Looking frightened, Killian nodded and was ready to be gone, "Ah, ah, ah, what do we say to the lady?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.

Killian huffed but relented when Jack's grip on his wrist tightened, he muttered out a gruff apology and nearly ran away from Jack.

"You didn't have to do that," a soft voice spoke from behind.

Jack turned around to see Regina was looking down at all her notes that were spilled on the floor, "I couldn't let him hurt you," this wasn't the first time that Jack had come to Regina's rescue. A few weeks ago he was walking to the library when he caught someone taking her things; she ended up getting away when Jack threw something at the idiot.

"Thanks," she said once Jack had handed her the last book.

Jack smiled, "No need m'lady," he said somewhat nervously, he licked his lips and then smiled at her again, "I- Well… shoot," he hissed softly, "I… I was wondering, you know, since you're really good at Biology and I'm not that good, well I know some stuff like the whole respiration thing and the heart, but I'm not very, very good at it and I was wondering, since you're really good that maybe, perhaps, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to, that you could possibly tutor me?" he babbled.

Her eyebrows raised in amusement, god he hoped that she found it adorable or something. Jack scratched the back of his neck and bit his lip awkwardly, "You don't have to, I can try to get my sister to give me her old notes… that is if she hadn't burnt them…" he sighed, this went better when he was rehearsing it in front of the mirror that morning.

After not getting an answer for a considerably long amount of time he decided that she probably wouldn't want to tutor a guy who's associated with people that spent their days pissing her off, "Ahh, you know what, this was a bad idea, you're probably busy and already have plans, I don't want to impose you know, so I'm just gonna-"

She stared at him long and hard, she couldn't see any lie in his eyes, or amusement. The truth is Regina really liked Jack; she had had the biggest crush on him since he moved in to Mifflin Street. He lives 4 houses down from her mansion and she sees him drive his motorbike to school every morning, with his leather jacket and black helmet with various types of signatures on it, god she loves him. But she always stays away from him, sometimes he talks to her, makes light casual conversation with her, he doesn't do PE and she usually has a free period at that time and they both sit in the library, sometimes he draws, sometimes he reads, and sometimes he talks to her.

So when he asked her if she would want to tutor him she thought it was a joke. He was really smart, he was getting A's and B's in pretty much every lesson… but then again, she was in his Biology class and he wasn't doing very well there.

Just as he was walking away muttering something about being stupid she smiled politely at him and called out a 'sure' and 'come by the mansion at around 4' and she went her own way.

He checked one more time to make sure he had everything before making the short walk to Regina's house; he left at 10 to 4 after grabbing a sandwich to eat and his books.

She honestly hadn't expected him to turn up, when it was about 5 to 4 she sat down in her living room and decided that she would wait ten minutes, then when he didn't turn up she would go get something to eat, read for a bit and then finish off her homework.

When someone knocked at the door she expected it to be Mal or her father forgot the key or maybe her mother did, so picture her shock when Jack stood on the other side with a wide grin.

"I thought that maybe you could tell me about Enzymes and catalysts… or are catalysts for Chemistry… how about the digestive system! And why don't we learn about urine? Isn't urine part of the digestive system, I mean I know it's just the liquid we drink but the water we consume is important so maybe the body has to break something down," he babbled, she found it cute when he babbled.

Jack smiled down at her, he pursed his lips and awkwardly looked around her front porch, "Am I gonna get tutored out here? I have nothing against the outside but I kinda wanna have a seat."

Regina shook herself out of the shock and took in a deep breath, "Right, sorry… come in," she opened the door far enough for him to enter. They settled in the living room.

Jack smirked that smirk that made her feel weak at the knees, "So… enzymes," he took out a fresh notebook from his bag.

Regina huffed, "Enzymes."

For the next two hours she tried to explain to him all about the breakdown of food and how they get to the muscle and how they are all important, and she told him what catalysts are. By the end of their two hours he was able to explain to her what happens during digestion. They were both proud of themselves for getting the hang of things.

The next day when Jack came into school he found that lunch approached rather quickly, and that was a good thing considering that he was hungry.

That day when he was having art he discovered that Mal wasn't in school due to illness, which made him think of what Regina would be doing.

As he sat down for lunch with his friends who were all snickering, Killian and Neal were using a straw for spit balls and making a game out of who they could hit, he watched them get a few newbies and some people from their year, Killian also managed to hit a teacher without getting caught.

"Hey, look it's the Evil Queen!" Neal chuckled pointing at Regina; they found out that her name means Queen and somehow turned it into a nickname after she punched Neal in the face and broke his nose for standing in her way when she tried to leave a class.

"Don't mate, you'll end up with another broken bone," Jack warned.

Neal scoffed, "I'm stronger than her."

"Neal, don't," Emma, Neal's girlfriend, warned. She didn't have anything against Regina; Regina actually helped her improve in maths, the only thing Regina ever did to piss Emma off was when she got into an argument with Emma's best friend (and brother's girlfriend) Mary Margaret, but because Regina's mother and Mary's father are somewhat friends – Regina had to apologise; the thing was forgotten.

Neal ignored her and started loading up.

"Killian," Emma warned again, thinking she could get through to him, she had cheating on Neal with Killian; Jack's not actually sure what was going on there.

Regina had just sat down at a table with her lunch, she took a book out of her bag and started reading, half interested in the food. Killian also ignored Emma and also started loading up.

"Don't you fucking dare, Killian Jones!" Jack threatened.

"Please," Neal huffed a laugh at Jack and blew into the straw; he missed Regina by a few feet, the spit ball landed beside her.

Jack shook his head, "Fine, you fuckward," he stood up and gathered his stuff, then made a beeline for Regina's table and set down his stuff, he moved Regina's stuff.

"What are you doing?" she exclaimed, but he ignored her, instead he moved her food to the opposite side of the table then looked at her expectantly, she didn't move.

Jack nodded to himself and picked her up, if she wasn't going to move then he was going to move her, he sat her down in front of her food and then handed her back her book. He plopped down gruffly onto the place she was sitting and did his best to block her body with his larger one, his back hunched and his muscles rippling through his clothes as he glared sideways at Killian and Neal.

"What are you doing?" she asked gently.

"Protecting you from spit," Regina leaned up to peak over his shoulder; she saw Killian and Neal glaring at Jack's back with straws between their lips.

"My hero," she smiled at him, "You didn't have to do that, you know."

"I wanted to," he smiled at her, "So, do you wanna keep reading or have a conversation with you knight?"

"We can talk."

For the rest of that week Jack had lunch with Regina, and when Mal came back on Friday he had lunch with her too.

They quickly developed a schedule together, at school Regina would tell him if she was free and he could come over for his tutoring.

Not all his friends minded his new friendship with Regina; Emma, Mary and David thought it was nice of him, Ruby was indifferent and Katheryn, Aurora and her girlfriend thought he was wasting his time but that it was nice of him, Killian and Neal were the ones who had the biggest problem. They kept bugging him about his feeling for the freak and said he had no place hanging with her and that Mary could tutor him, he told them that they could bite him because he was going to ask her out. They huffed at him, but didn't question his decisions.

When Friday rolled over (Having been tutored by Regina for a month he learnt that she liked to have Friday's off, he decided it was the perfect day to ask her), he knocked on her door at 6 (because she likes to stop by the library on Friday's and on some occasions her mother asks her to stop by the shop on her way home), he smiled brightly at her when she opened the door.

Through their little lessons she learnt that he was brilliant at English; his punctuation, grammar and spelling were more on point that her eyebrows, so she let him read through her English assignments while she checked his algebra, they went through their mistakes told each other the correction and explained why, so Regina thought that that was what he was there for.

Jack, on the other hand, was having a bit of a rough time, his palms were sweating; his stomach felt funny, his head was light and his mouth very dry. Yet he still persevered, he was going to do this, now or never, he decided, treat it like a Band-Aid Jack, rip it off fast, he told himself.

After Regina had let him into the mansion he cleared his throat loudly to catch her attention, she turned to look at him with an amused frown, he took a deep breath through his nose, "So… I have tickets to this play, the War Horse, they do it in England and I just… you know get home sick sometimes. Anyway, my dad got us- me, tickets and I was wondering if you would want to… go with me… as my date… erm, I mean you don't have to it's in New York and it's tomorrow so. I just mean that, if you do want to go out with me tomorrow I could come early and I could drive us there and then we could hang around and then go watch the play and…" he smiled at her, took a deep calming breath and said much more simply, "Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?" he bit his lip, that was definitely not Band-Aid ripping type of fast he wanted, it was more like watching a scab form – he winced.

Regina smiled at him, "I'd love to, I'd have to tell my parents first but…" she bit her lip, "here," she ripped a piece of paper from her notebook on the table and wrote something down, "My number."

Jack beamed at her and quickly wrote it onto his phone, then sent her a quick text that consisted only of the monkey emoji; she smiled and saved him as a contact.

.::.

Later that night, after Jack went home, and her parents were relaxing in the living room, Regina decided to tell them of her plans for the next day.

"I'm going to New York tomorrow," she told her parents as nonchalantly as she could.

Henry raised his brow, "What for?"

Regina bit her lip, should she tell them it was for a date, "For a play," she said instead.

"And who are you going with," Cora asked suspiciously, "Mallory?"

"Erm… no," Regina replied.

"Then who?"

"Jack," Regina bit her lip.

"Jack? That boy you've been tutoring?" Regina nodded, "Wh- Regina… is this a date?" her mother smiled at her softly.

"…Yes," she was smitten, "We'll leave after breakfast and he'll drive – in a car – to New York, we'll have lunch and he said maybe, if we get hungry, we'll have dinner and then go watch the play, then drive back," she explained.

"And I suppose you'd like some money… say if you end up walking around shops?" Henry inquired.

"If you don't mind," Regina said sweetly.

The next day Jack went to pick up Regina at 10am, he was wearing a black button down with dark jeans; the button down was unbuttoned to show a grey tank top. He knocked on the door and waited politely for someone to open.

Regina's father gave him a small smile and welcomed him in, "She'll be down in just a bit."

Jack stood awkwardly in the foyer of the large mansion, when Cora came in with a scarily calm and blank expression he honestly thought she was going to cut his balls off. Just as she stood in front of him he stuck out his hand to give her the flowers he brought that morning. It was an assortment of all sorts; he had googled their meanings the day before and had decided on yellow and pink carnations, cosmos chrysanthemums and a single gardenia.

"For you," he gave her a wide nervous smile, "My dad always gets my mum flowers and whenever Nan is over he gets flowers for her too… I thought I'd give them to you too."

Cora smiled softy at him, the flowers were beautiful, all in a colour pattern and organised thoroughly.

Just at that moment Regina walked down the stairs, she was wearing a navy dress that hugged her figure and flowed at the waist, it matched the black boots she was wearing, she looked casual enough for town and also appropriate for the theatre.

Jack smiled at her almost wistfully, he nearly forgot about the flowers, "You look lovely," he handed her her own assortment of flowers, and these had heather hibiscuses, jasmines, lilacs, callas and a single red rose, "For you."

Regina smiled at the flowers, "Thank you," she walked off to put them in a vase and was back a few minutes later, "Shall we?"

They spent the day feeling ridiculously giddy, they shopped, laughed, ate, laughed, watched the play, cried (on Regina's part because it was so beautiful) and just enjoyed spending time together.

And that's how it began, Jack and Regina, how they became a thing. They would seek each other out when their lessons finished, during free periods or breaks they would spend their entire school day together, he made her smile and laugh and she had softened up to people.

Jack's friends didn't really approve though, they thought that someone like Jack shouldn't be with anyone like Regina. But Jack managed to make them leave her alone, they sometimes talked and Emma and Mary soon found that Regina was actually a nice person if you got to know her, she was funny and creative and they started considering her a friend (Mal was still Regina's no. 1). They might like Regina, but that doesn't mean that she likes them.

In all honesty, Regina thinks that they don't match Jack at all, Regina knows that she can be a bit ruthless and harsh towards people. The first time that Jack had heard one of her comments directed at someone he had almost lost it, he thought it was funny how she was so silent but… well, deadly.

When they had found themselves alone in his car a few minutes later Jack couldn't help but drive somewhere secluded and kiss her, caress her soft skin, kiss down her neck and let his strong hands wonder. Wonder down under her dress, he moved aside her panties and went further, through her damp folds and pump lightly.

Regina blushed slightly thinking back to that day, any thought she had about Jack's friends long forgotten and replaced with the way Jack's touched was imprinted on her skin. She craved more of it, more of him.

Thinking of the devil, her frown turned into a face splitting grin as she watched Jack walk up to her and grin like an idiot in return.

"Hello," he gave her a peck and sat beside her on the bench, "How's your day been so far?"

Regina rolled her eyes, "Mal has been having another crisis with her sister," Mallory's stepsister, Abby, was a cute 14 year old who had pissed Mal off the second their parent's married. Especially because Mal hates her step mother. With a passion.

Jack grinned, "Has she been talking your ear off about it again?"

Regina nodded. He wrapped his arm around her, she laid her head on his shoulder and crossed her leg to cuddle close to him, "I love Mal but she keeps repeating herself, still I love hearing about what Abby did to piss her off each day."

"This is a daily occurrence?"

"Every day Mal has something new to complain about," she shook her head lightly with a laugh, "I don't mind it though, especially not when Mal tells me how Abby and her boyfriend were caught making out by her mother the other day," she chuckled again.

Jack kissed her quickly making the smile disappear, "So, what are our plans today?" Regina asked after pulling away.

"Well, it's Emma and David's birthday party today and they actually both want you to be there," he smiled softly at her, "Unless you want to just go to mine now and watch a movie until six, so we could order a pizza, or Chinese," another kiss, "Anything you want," he smiled at her.

"Emma's your friend, I wouldn't want you to miss her birthday," she stroked his face, she knew that out of all his friends he likes Emma the most, he claims it's because she's the most down to earth, and really Regina didn't mind Emma, she was nice enough.

"Are you sure?" he frowned at her.

She smiled, she loved it that he cared, "Of course, we should go, I can always just leave early."

"If you want to leave let me know okay?" she smiled again.

.::.

It was a house party, Regina had been to other ones, she was friends with a few girls from the year above them, Ursula threw a mad rave every year for her birthday and Ella was wild, she lived in fur coats and alcohol.

This party was no different, there were bottles of alcohol all over the place, laughter and music filled the entire house as Jack and Regina stepped in.

"We should find the hosts, wish them a happy birthday," he whispered in her ear, his arm around her waist and a bag in his hand. Regina smiled and nodded.

They walked through the kitchen to the dining room and finally the living room to find that David was sitting on the couch with Mary Margaret curled up with a plastic cup, Emma was sitting on the floor between Killian's legs as Neal glared at her from the other side of the room with Millie beside him.

"Hello, my dear proprietors," he grinned at them, "I see that things have finally come out," he muttered to Regina who smiled politely although Jack could feel that she was tense beside him.

"Jack, mate," Killian stood with a wide grin.

Regina tucked herself closer to her boyfriend, it wasn't that she was scared of Killian, she just wanted him to stay away from her, who knows what he's capable of doing?

Killian frowned when Regina shifted away from him, "Regina," he sighed, Jack watched his every move with the look of an animal, one wrong move and Killian knew that Jack was going to beat him until he couldn't walk. "I am sorry," he looked down, "For everything," his words simple but with much meaning, after he finally told Millie that he cheated on her and Emma went to Neal and finally they were together, Emma had changed him, in the couple weeks that they had been together Emma had changed him into someone somewhat nicer.

Regina didn't say anything just nodded.

Jack pulled her to him and they both made their way to the couch where they sat for a few minutes before Jack went to get them a drink. He returned with a smile and two plastic cups.

.::.

She was pleasantly buzzed, it made her giddy, to be tucked under Jack's arm with a warmth filling her belly – from the alcohol. Regina frowned thinking about how long Jack was taking in the toilet, he had left at least ten minutes ago.

Regina stood with a frown, her hands evening out the creases in her dress, Mary Margaret and Emma looked at her, well, Emma tried, she was too drunk to even stand, Mary Margaret, however, was probably the only one sober.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Jack had been gone ages, I'm going to go find him, see if he's okay," she slurred the answer with an easy smile before turning around and making her way into the kitchen first.

Regina couldn't find him in the kitchen, living room, dining room, toilet or garden so she decided to check the upstairs. She had some water with the hope that she would sober up a little and not fall as she walked up the stairs.

.::.

"Hey, have any of you seen Regina?" Jack asked as he sat on the couch.

Mary Margaret smiled, "She went looking for you, you were taking ages," she rolled her eyes.

Jack patted his stomach, "I boffed," he growled.

"Well it's a good thing she went after you," Killian chuckled, "Drinking is not for the weak, mate," he nuzzled his face into Emma's neck.

"I'm fine," Jack rolled his eyes, "I'll just settle for water for now," he brought his bottle up with a sigh, "Did you see where she went?" he asked.

"What'cha talking about," Trina Bell said as she plopped down beside Jack. He knew that Regina didn't mind Trina.

"Regina, have you seen her?" there was a thud over their heads, Emma frowned muttering something about someone being in her room.

"Yeah, she went upstairs," Trina answered tiredly, there was another thud and what sounded like a shout of someone's name.

Jack's head snapped up and he listened as carefully as he could, everything was dying down now so the music was just quietly buzzing around them, he heard another thud and this time a loud sob of what sounded like a name.

"Jack," Mary Margaret started, "I think someone just shouted your name," she sounded scared.

With a jolt Jack realised that it was Regina, Regina was calling for him. Never in his life had he ran quite as quickly, he slid to a stop by the stairs and then climbed them with as much speed as he could, taking at least 4 at a time and holding on to the steps and banister when he slipped forward.

"Regina!" he shouted making his way through the rooms, banging some open before getting to Emma's.

Never in Jack's life had he considered himself to be homicidal, but seeing Neal over his girlfriend with his pants unzipped, thankfully they were not down, and his hand trailing up Regina's dress as she struggled. Jack threw himself at the asshole, throwing Neal off of Regina and leaning down to punch him square in the face, he continued to batter the shit out of the wanker, he didn't even register Regina sobbing his name or anyone entering the room until he felt someone pulling him off.

Jack turned tried to jump him again, but David and Killian both gripped his arms hard enough that he couldn't move and this time he heard her say his name pleadingly.

Jack turned to her with a wide guilty eyes, he walked to her in two large steps and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to him not just for her comfort but for his own. He loved her, more than life itself and he couldn't deal if someone hurt her like that.

.::.

They were at Jack's place now, in his room, it was large; it was actually the basement. He had a small couch that she always liked to lie on, and a TV that was opposite the couch, a coffee table in between, his bed was in the corner, furthest away from the stairs leading down to the basement. That was where they were, cuddled close together in his bed, she could hear Jack's heart beating a rhythmical and calm beat.

"I'm sorry," he said finally.

"What for?" she asked softly.

"For leaving you, I shouldn't have left, I should have been there to stop him from doing anything," he growled the last part, she could feel him tense beside her.

"I don't really want to talk about it, Jack. But it wasn't your fault, it happened, I don't resent you for leaving I –" she nibbled her lip, "I love you, Jack," she held her breath.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Good, I love you too," he cuddled her closer to him and vowed to himself that he would love her for the rest of his life.

FIN
