It was supposed to be a normal morning, Kara would head to her locker and get her books, and then she would head to homeroom. It all went sideways though, and rather quickly, as she tried to opened her locker, out of the corner of her vision she saw movement. Before she could move or turn out of the way a fist collided with the side of her face, it was not a hard hit, she had taken worse from school bullies. It shook her up though, as she dropped her bag on the ground.

" Oh my god Kara, I am so sorry," the one and only Lena Luthor had punched her in the face. She was not mad, mostly because she could not focus on anything but the fact that Lena knew her name.

Lena quickly came closer to Kara cupping the other girls face in her hands, Kara had yet to form any words as Lena looked at her face searching for any sign of injuries. Kara could not help but notice just how pretty Lena was, she was so much cuter than Mike, who was a few lockers down. She thought that she would much rather date Lena Luthor than date Mike Matthews, he was an asshole.

'Damn i'm not straight!' went through Kara's mind as Lena looked at her, and wow did Lena have such beautiful eyes and her hands were so soft. Kara found herself leaning into Lena's touch, although the other girl took it as Kara feeling faint and became even more worried for Kara's well being.

In the back ground Jack Sphere, was looking at the two he was between laughter and guilt. He and Lena were the best of friends Kara had never seen the two argue over anything before.

" I did not mean to punch you Kara, I am so sorry, Jack dodged, and my fist kindof just hit you," the black haired girl turned Kara's face, to check where the punch had landed more thoroughly. Lena ran her fingers gently over the side of Kara's face.

Kara was sure, that if the other girl could not see the blush that was creeping up her face, then she could most certainly feel how fast her heart was now racing. She tried to calm herself by breathing deeper and slowly, but it did nothing to help her situation. In the back ground, Jack had now started to laugh at the two of them. She had yet to say a word back to Lena unable to form and sentences.

"Your hands are soft" Kara accidentally blurted out, she immediately moved away from Lena to cover her mouth, but Lena grabbed her hands, worry written across her face along with a slight blush that had managed to make it's way onto Lena's face as well.

" thanks, but i think that you may have gotten a concussion or something," Lena said, trying to check Kara's eyes for dilation, and any other signs of a concussion. When she notice Kara's perfect blue eyes were slightly more dilated than they should have been, she became more worried. If she had hurt the girl then not only would she end up having no chance with her crush, but she would also get detention or get suspended.

" I'm fine I promise." Kara said, stuttering over her words trying to dissuade the other girls guilt at accidently punching her, Kara did wonder why Lena had been trying to punch Jack though.

" no, no, you aren't getting off that easy, miss Danvers," Lena said, teasingly at Kara who was already trying to get back to her locker, and Lena was not about to let an injured Kara Danvers get herself even more injured.

" I'm fine Miss Luthor," Kara jabbed back just as teasingly as the other girl had at her. Lena laughed a little, at Kara calling her Miss Luthor it was such a foreign sound to hear herself referred to as.

" No, I'm not going to believe that, until you have been checked out by the nurse," Lena said, her voice authoritative.

" You don't need to do that Lena, I'm sure you need to get to class." Kara said, trying to dissuade Lena from her worry.

" so I will be late to homeroom, I would feel better knowing that you are ok." Lena said, taking Kara's hand and leading her down the hall towards the nurse's office.

Kara was unable to keep her mind from wandering to how Lena was keeping her hand clasped in Kara's. Kara stumbled along uncoordinatedly behind Lena, trying to keep up with the other girl. She managed to stay calm ish, while they walked down to the nurse's office. The two barely exchanged any words as they went along.

Lena and Kara walked into the nurse's office hand in hand, Lena was inwardly freaking out about whether or not she should let go of kara's hand, or if she should keep holding it because kara was so warm, and she really liked holding Kara's hand, but what if Kara did not like holding Lena's hand. She shook herself out of her thoughts, she was not her mother she did not thrive on gay angst.

" what can I do for you two?" the nurse said, coming up to the duo looking them up and down searching for any major signs of injury immediately.

" Kara here accidentally got p-"

" I got hit by a locker door by accident," Kara said interrupting Lena, Kara knew that the nurse would have to report Lena, if she was told that Lena punched another student, and Kara did not want to get Lena in trouble.

" oh did you now," The nurse said rather sarcastically, usually kids did not come to her when they got hit by locker doors, most of the time they just shook it off and kept going.

" she got hit pretty hard, and she was a bit disoriented for a while, and she kind of seemed like she might have a concussion." Lena said, trying to help Kara deal with the rather judgey nurse.

" ok I guess I can check you out go sit down," the nurse motioned for Kara to sit on the seat. " and you can go, get to home room," she said to Lena.

" I want to stay with her, It's my fault she is hurt in the first place." Lena said, reaching out and once again holding Kara's hand.

from where the blonde sat on the chair she could see the determination on Lena's face. The same determination that Lena had when arguing with a teacher over one of the answers on a test. It was one of the things she liked about Lena, the popular girl was never afraid to stand up for herself when she had been wronged. Kara looked up at Lena feeling her heart beat faster as the other girl stood her ground about staying by Kara's side.

" Ok then, just stay out of my way." the nurse said, as she went to grab the tool that shines in their eye. "I need you to look at this for me,"

The nurse shone a light in Kara's eye, causing Kara to startle a little bit and squeeze Lena's hand. She had never dealt well with sudden things like lights or people suddenly talking to her from where she could not see. Lena seemed to notice, that in the moment and offered Kara a comforting squeeze back. Soon enough the nurse was done looking at Kara's eyes. The two could hear the bell ring signaling the beginning of first period.

" I can't tell if anything is wrong, but if you have any pain in your head or dizziness come back, and I can send you home." the nurse said, she turned back to Lena and Kara looking for an acknowledgement from the blonde.

" got it." Lena said speaking for both of them.

" now let me get you two a pass for first period." she quickly wrote down a pass for both of the girls and handed it over to them, before shooing them out of the office.

" thanks for coming with me," Kara said her hand still intertwined with Lena's as they leisurely made their way down the hall.

" it is my fault you got punched, the least I could do was take you to the nurse Kara," Lena said it as if it was the simplest thing, but to Kara ,who most people would not even give her the time of day, it meant the world.

" I have taken a lot worse punches by other people here" she said, off handedly trying to make Lena feel better about the whole situation.

Stopping in her tracks and pulling Kara back, due to the blonde having not stopped walking, she looked at the other girl with complete shock written on her face. Shock turned to worry in an instance as Kara looked at Lena with an expression that showed that it was not just a one time thing that had happened to Kara.

" wait one second, who?" Lena said, trying to get Kara to spill the beans on whoever had laid a hand on her.

" it really doesn't matter" Kara said, ducking her head and closing herself off again. Lena looked offended by the idea that anything that happened to Kara did not matter.

" it really does Kara" Lena said, pressing the subject further her worry for the blonde had grown immensely since they had left the nurse's office. She was starting to get mad, not at Kara, but at whatever ass hole had decided to hurt this walking ray of sunshine, that would never hurt a fly.

" please don't I really don't want to talk about it." Kara said her voice pleading and desperate. It made Lena's heart melt.

" Ok, ok" Lena relented, although she vowed that she would be keeping an eye out for anyone trying to hurt the blonde, and she would make sure that they had hell to pay. No one would be able to hurt Kara if she had any say in it.

"Thank you, Lena" Kara said softly. Lena usually like the sound of Kara saying her name but this time it struck a chord in her heart with how weak and frail the blonde sounded.

"Well I have to get to class i'm going to check in on you later ok," Lena said putting her hand on Kara's shoulder.

Lena walked away, and went to grab her backpack up from in front of her locker before making her way into the latin class. Kara slowly walked to her locker, mulling over her new revelation in her head, she guessed that her feelings toward Lena weren't that of jealousy but that of having a crush on the other girl, it was no wonder that she had never been able to hate the girl even though she had long since been trying to convince herself that was what the feelings were.

Opening her locker three books fell out onto Kara's head, surprising her usually she was able to catch the books before they fell on her, but she was far to occupied trying to get over the fact that lena had been late to class for Kara, Lena had held her hand, Lena had worried over her well being. She got her books together trying to focus, after all she had a math quiz to take.

Kara walked into the classroom, and was not pleased with her, he hated when people were late he gave her an angry look as she handed him her note. She went over to her seat in the middle of the class, she sat between James and Jack. If it were up to her she would be up a few math classes, as the things they had her doing here felt like it was for preschoolers.

Kara had been told by her foster parents, that she needed to hide her genius from the world, although her powers had not fully come in yet, giving away how much math and science she knew would draw suspicion and too much attention to her. So Kara pretended to struggle with simple subjects that she used to excel at while on Krypton.

" are you ok Kara," Jack said leaning over his desk to check on her. The two rarely talked but Jack was a nice guy, she knew that Jack and Lena were practically best friends and inseparable the whole school used to think that they were dating, but Kara knew differently after all she had a locker next to him and Christina since fourth grade.

" yeah I'm fine, no damage done" She whispered back. Jack opened his mouth to respond to Kara but was cut short.

" quite I am passing out the quiz you talk you get a zero." Mr. Jenson bellowed around the room.

He passed the quiz down the rows, she tried to be slow filling in the answers although she could have solved all of them in a millisecond, if she wanted to. She had a method of filling in tests she would compile the answers in her head first, and then go back before even making a mark on the page and do them again, then finally fill them in. wait a few minutes and then turn in her quiz, it had always made her the second or third person to get up and turn in the test or quiz.

She took her quiz up to the front of the room and put it in on top of the first one, Jack's, Jack almost always was the first person to turn in the test or quiz. She sat back in her seat and pulled out a book to read, she saw that Jack had managed to sneak his phone into the class and he was texting Lena. She did not mean to look at who he was texting but she still saw it. The simple thought of the brunettes name filled her head with the feeling of Lena's hand in hers.

The book that Kara had pulled out was, useless as no matter how much she stared at the page she could not get her mind to focus on reading all she could think of was Lena. how her green eyes shone brightly whenever she talked about science. The way the brunette walked with such confidence, how she did not care what others said about her she always kept her head up high.

How had Kara not seen it sooner, she could not think of a time she did not find Lena to be beautiful. She was always beautiful, Kara had just always mistaken her thoughts of the other woman's beauty for that of envy or anger.

A.N. this was inspired by my tumblr post about how I found out I wasn't straight by getting punched and got stuck in my head when someone commented imagine your otp on it and then this happened so I hope you enjoyed it, it's a bit longer than usual but I actually edited this one and posted it on tumlr too.
