Pov Wanda

I play with a little ball of magic between my fingers while I wait for y/n.
Today is Monday and my first day at the new school. I'm a little nervous, unsure on what to expect. It's been a while since I went to a real school and the last time Pietro was with me.
My heart clenches when I think about him and I push that thought away.
I won't be alone this time either, I'm with y/n. She will be by my side and if I understood Steve right, we have all the same classes. It will be hard to get into the topics and everything but I agree with Steve that it's logical for me to finish my education.

But I'm still nervous, it's a completely new environment and so many new people. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming when a lot of people are around me because my magic freaks out a bit but I just have to control it.

I take a deep breath to calm myself and watch as y/n packs her bag.
If I'm being honest, I'm also a little concerned for her. Since the Red Room, she's changed, which is obvious. I don't think she'll be this affected forever and that she still has to process a lot. Even if she'd be affected forever, I wouldn't mind because I truly love her, just the way she is.

Admitting it to myself was kind of hard because it also means I'm being vulnerable but with her I feel so safe and something tells me she won't use me or my feelings for her. Hearing she feels the same way, felt like a stone was lifted off my chest and it made me so happy to hear.

But I'm still worried she's rushing into this, not giving herself enough time to process. On the other hand she is right, school will take her mind off it, hopefully.
I noticed some changes in her behavior though. Whenever someone asks or tells her to do something, she jumps up immediately and does it. Her eyes slightly getting fearful as if danger awaits her if she doesn't do it directly. I suppose it's due to what happened in the Red Room but I don't know. She doesn't like to talk about it a lot, which I absolutely respect. If she wants to tell me, she can and if not, that's also okay.
I know she and Nat talk about it which relieves me a little because I was worried it would all bottle up inside her.

 
"Daisy?"
I get pulled out of my thoughts and look up to meet her beautiful eyes, my stomach filling with butterflies at the name.
"Can you do my make up? I am not so good at it." She asks, a little shyly which is adorable. I nod and walk over to her.
Her face is healing good but the bruises are still slightly visible and I know she's insecure about them and doesn't want everyone asking about them.
So, we decided to cover them up as good as possible.

I grab the make up things and carefully start to apply it.
While concentrating on her face, I can feel her eyes on me and have to force myself to stay focused and not gaze into her beautiful green eyes.
When I'm done, I lean back a little and look at her face. Satisfied with my work, I put the make up down. The bruises are not visible anymore, so nothing to worry about. Her eyes are still glued to my face and I feel my cheeks slightly getting red.

"Did you know that, when you concentrate, the tip of your tongue moves over your upper lip?" She asks in a low voice, full of love. I shake my head, I never noticed that. Her lips curl into a sweet smile.
"Well, you do and it's really cute." She states and gets up to give me a kiss. I return it and can't help but to smile.

"Let's go." She says and takes my hand in the one and her backpack in the other hand. We walk down to the kitchen where we meet Nat.

After a quick breakfast, we get into the car and drive to school.
With every minute I get a bit more nervous and play with the rings on my fingers, twisting them around my fingers. Y/n notices and looks over to me. Without saying anything, she takes my hands in hers and her thumb strokes over my knuckles, a silent way of calming me down and reassuring me that she's with me.

She's been a little clingier after we rescued her, which I don't really mind. I like having her close to me and to spend time with her. Sometimes I wonder why she's being clingier to me but I think it's because she thought she'd never see me again when she was in the Red Room.

Seeing how much my little note meant to her while she was there made me think of an idea and now I write her little notes whenever I feel like it. They don't contain long texts, mostly just short messages but seeing her face light up at every note I give her, is the best.

We arrive at the school and get out of the car after thanking Nat for the drive.
I look up at the building and feel my nerves rising up again. A hand takes mine and I look at y/n who smiles at me reassuringly. She gives me a minute before gently tugging me towards the building.
There are already a lot of students there and my grip around her hand tightens, not wanting to lose her.

She leads me through the hallways and to her locker. While she gets her books, I look around, watching the many students walk around and chat with their friends.
A slight tingle in my fingers shows me that my magic is a little overwhelmed by all those people and possible readable minds. But I take a deep breath and tell myself that I don't need to know their thoughts and the tingle vanishes.

A squeak from my right sight makes me turn around and watch two girls run up to y/n and hug her tightly. I shift on my feet awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
They start to ramble about something, mainly concerning the weeks y/n has missed. The official excuse is a secret and spontaneous mission of the Avengers and that y/n had to go undercover so the enemy wouldn't know where she is.
She sticks to the story, not wanting to talk about the truth. Her friends seem to buy it.

When y/n reaches out a hand to me, they notice me and greet me with friendly smiles.
"This is Wanda, my girlfriend. She's going to school with us now." Y/n introduces me and I smile as she calls me her girlfriend. It's still so new and makes me giddy every time.

"These are Liv and Kelly." She points to her friends and I nod, also offering a smile.
"It's nice to meet you. We were wondering who got into y/n's mind over the last time. She seemed pretty distracted sometimes, probably thinking about you." Liv says with a wide grin and friendly eyes. I glance over at y/n who blushes a little and rolls her eyes.

"It's nice to meet you, too. She told me a bit about you and the fun times you have together." I reply, felling calmer with every minute. Her friends seem nice and not invasive or anything.
"Yeah, well, there are quite a lot of funny moments. And I'm sure we will have many more that you will also be a part of." Kelly says and I smile at how she directly included me.
"I'm looking forward to it." I answer.

Before anyone can say something, the bell rings and we say our goodbyes before y/n leads me to the first classroom. We talk to the teacher shortly, who already is informed and I sit down next to y/n.

The classroom fills with students and I watch them, finding it interesting. Before the lesson starts, I introduce myself shortly. I'm thankful for the teacher who starts her lesson directly after I finished so the students don't stare at me.

Y/n smiles at me encouragingly and I return her smile. The lesson is quite interesting but I notice a girl turning her head a few times, looking into our direction.
At first I thought it was because I'm new but soon noticed that her eyes are pinned on my girlfriend. She looks at her shyly and slightly flirty which I don't like at all.

My girlfriend doesn't seem to notice it at all and I wonder how long this has been going on.
A feeling of annoyance starts to pulse through my body as the girl looks at y/n once again. Can't she keep her eyes off of my girlfriend?

Without consciously intending to, I start to read her mind, which doesn't help with me being annoyed and maybe slightly angry with the girl. She not only has flirty eyes but also a flirty mind. Maybe a little shy but still clearly. She likes y/n and thinks she's really pretty and attractive. I mean she's right but still, I don't like someone else thinking this way about my girlfriend.

What annoys me even more is that she's imagining how it would be to kiss y/n and if her lips would be as soft as they look.
It takes me a lot of self-control to not get up and pull y/n into a deep kiss in front of the whole class so everyone knows she's taken.

But that would be very inappropriate and would disturb the lesson. I don't need to draw attention to me on the first day, well not more than I already am due to being new. But somehow I need to make sure that girl knows to keep her wishes to herself and that she doesn't have a chance since I'm in a relationship with y/n.

I'll find a way to make sure she knows it...

A/n: A Wanda pov :D She becomes a little jealous...what do you think will she do? Or will she just stay quiet?

Thanks for reading and love to you all <3
