Chapter 2 – You'll get over the Butterflies

"So, what's this girl like then?" A blond haired boy asked, entering Arizona's room while she was getting dressed, causing the younger blonde to jump slightly. The blond was Timothy Robbins, Arizona's older brother.

"Timmy, you're supposed to knock when entering a room" Arizona scolded, she then realised what her brother had said "wait, how do you know I'm going to see a girl" Arizona hasn't come out as gay to her family yet and she had no idea how Tim would know about Calliope.

"Arizona, you forget that I've known you for 18 years" Tim smirked "I've known you're gay for ages now…you didn't?" Tim was a bit confused now because he thought Arizona already knew she was a lesbian.

"Of course I didn't know Tim, don't you think I would have told you?" Arizona only realised she liked girls – one girl in particular – about a month ago. "I can't believe you didn't tell me" she could have saved herself a headache if Tim had mentioned it earlier.

"Sis calm down; you know now." Tim felt a little guilty but he was mostly proud of himself for knowing his sister so well, "What's she like then?" he repeated the question earlier, taking a seat on Arizona's desk chair.

A giggle came from the younger blonde "you're not going to drop it are you" Tim gave a sharp shake of his head; he really wanted to know who this woman was and what she was like. "Ok then I'll spill" Arizona was actually pleased that she finally had someone to talk to this about. "Her name is Calliope" she smiled at the sound of her name, it was truly beautiful "and she's all hard-core badass. She's in my biology class, I sit next to her and she's really smart. She's so nice and funny too. Tim you don't understand, this woman is perfect."

Tim had never heard his sister talk about someone like this "well I hope you introduce us soon, I need to make sure she's good enough for my lil' sis" he teased, "are you going to pick her up?"

Arizona checked her watch, "yeah I'm just about to set off. How do I look?" She was wearing a wool green jumper and dark blue skinny jeans, her hair was straightened. She was taking Callie to the cinema so she went for the more casual look.

"You look great, good luck" Tim gave Arizona the signature Robbins family dimpled smile. "I hope it all goes well"

Arizona picked up her black converse trainers. "Yeah me too, love you Tim, bye" she left her room and got into her car to pick Callie up.

"So…you and Blondie huh" Mark chuckled. It was finally Friday and Callie insisted that her best friend should help her get ready, "no wonder you and I never worked out, you're a lesbian."

"Mark we barely even dated," Callie muttered, she was preoccupied, trying to find her favourite leather jacket "and I don't think I'm a lesbian anyway" she had a lot of fun while she dated Mark, they were just not compatible in that way, they were better suited as friends to each other. "Mark can you look in Aria's room for my leather jacket"

Mark grimaced at the thought, Aria wasn't the nicest of people "Fine but you owe me" he said as Callie rolled her eyes.

Once Mark left the room Callie put on the clothes she had picked out earlier, Arizona had decided to take her to the movies so Callie was wearing black skinny jeans that clung to her in all the right places, she was also wearing a dark purple wrap around t-shirt. She had decided to leave her hair down since she usually wore it in a ponytail for school.

"Found it" Mark announced re-entering the room "so, are you excited? First dates and all" he threw the jacket at Callie and retook his seat on her bed. "Hey, remember our first date?" Mark smiled at the memory.

"You mean when you showed me a movie in your room, got horny and then we had sex?" Callie chuckled "yeah, that was an amazing date" she muttered sarcastically, "I kind of hope this one is going to be better than that" Callie put on her leather jacket and turned around, "so urm…how do I look?" Callie was a little nervous and wanted to make sure she looked nice for tonight, that's why Mark was there.

"Looking good, Blondie is one lucky girl" Mark stood up and began rooting through Callie's shoes and shoved a pair of black boots in her hands, "put those on, what time is she picking you up?"

"In about 20 minutes I think" Callie replied, zipping up her boots, she began to wonder what movie Arizona had picked, then she realised she didn't know much about what Arizona liked, she seems like the complete opposite of herself, the calmness that Callie had previously felt about the whole thing had evaporated "She's very perky Mark"

"Huh" Mark was relatively surprised by the sudden change in topic.

"She has butterflies on her folder, I'm badass, I'm a rock-star I don't do butterflies. Mark what if I've made a mistake. What if it doesn't work? She has butterflies on her folder Mark" Callie ran a nervous hand through her thick dark hair "Also she moves a lot, she only joined this school last month, what if it does work and she moves to the other side of the country"

Mark stood up, took hold of Callie's shoulders, looked her in the eye and spoke slowly "You're an idiot" Callie's brow crinkled for a second in confusion before she realised what Mark meant. Mark took his hands off Callie's shoulders and spoke again "Okay let's get some things straight, one, if the date doesn't work out then you'll get over it, just to get on with it and not let it be awkward. Two, she won't move when she is so close to finishing high school. And finally, three, you'll get over the butterflies."

"I'll get over the butterflies" Callie confirmed she knew Mark was right, she was just over reacting she knew she did really like Arizona, and she was pretty sure since Arizona's confession that she liked her back. What else was there to worry about? "Thanks Mark I don't know what I would do without you" he was constantly calming her down when she over thought a situation, which was more often than not.

"No probs Cal, now come on I'll give you a lift to Barker Street." Another reason Mark was there. Callie needed a lift to meet up with Arizona and didn't want to take her own car.

"Okay let's go" she agreed as they both left the house together. Callie yelled a quick goodbye to whoever was in and got into Marks car. Not long after they set off her phone beeped. It was a text from Arizona.

Hey, I'm almost on Barker Street but you know I can pick you up from your house – A

Callie didn't want Arizona to see her house, not yet anyway. She hated people knowing that her family had money; it always made people act differently around her.

It's alright, I'm almost there myself :D – C
