out of my league [Regina George]

four

ava arrived at the george house- mansion it was a whole mansion. she pressed the door for it to ring. a woman, probably regina's mother opened the door

"hello mrs. George" she greeted "i am Ava, I am-"

"regina's tutor, c'mon in" she instructed as Ava walked inside and she closed the door behind her "her room is right upstairs you can wait there she must be home soon"

"thanks" Ava said as she walked up the stairs and towards regina's room

when she got inside she took her time to look around. it was a big room, bigger than Ava's whole house.

she walked around the room and located the pin board seeing various pictures pinned to it. one with Aaron Samuels.

it was no secret the two dated in the past and she left him for Shane Oman, Aaron was devastated. Ava and him used to be friends at that time.

the picture made her feel something, something negative like anger or jealousy? no it can't be. why would she be jealous

"hey loser" regina arrived "what are you doing creeping around in my room" she walked over

"i was just looking around" she explained as the two walked over to the study table that was clearly made for a single person

thus them having to squeeze together a bit when sitting at different chairs pulled up against it.

"so today we're gonna go over inorganic chemistry" Ava explained

"we're already done with physical? well that was easy" regina smirked

"yeah well let's see how you feel when we approach organic" Ava opened her notes "so inorganic is all about properties and reactions of non carbon-hydrogen containing compounds"

"huh?" regina squinted her eyebrows as she placed her hand on the notebook, it slightly touching Ava's

"when carbon and hydrogen form a bond due to their vast properties we cannot study them with the others" she explained as she looked at regina who was still confused

"can you speak in English?" regina commented making Ava chuckle and maybe, just maybe regina looked at Ava's smile a beat too long

"uhm" maybe it was just Ava's imagination "basically" she tried thinking of an example "for example you're the carbon-hydrogen bond and rest of us are the others"

"so like, how I am prettier, more popular and generally just better than everyone?" Regina questioned

"sure" Ava scoffed "like we can all be classified as other students of North shore, or inorganic compounds while you and your friends are 'the plastics' or the mean girls or organic compounds, different"

"alright now I get it"Regina nodded as Ava continued

"also I have this pop quiz that you have to write and I'll grade it" she looked at the time "in the last one hour maybe"

"why didn't you tell me before?" Regina asked agitated

"because ms. Taylor said it was supposed to be surprise quiz"

"i don't give a shit what she said"

"hey" Ava chuckled resting her hand on top of Regina's on the table "it's gonna be fine, it's just physical chem and you're pretty amazing at it"

"yeah?" Regina asked

"yeah" Ava nodded as Regina moved her gaze towards their hands "anyway" Ava removed her hand albeit reluctantly continuing the lesson

that night, Ava sat on her study table when the sound of yelling and bottles crashing made her flinch, she plugged her headphones in and started to grade Regina's quiz from earlier today.

this was almost a routine now, she was so thankful for her uncle who bought her the noise cancelling headphones because without them she wouldn't survive this

once again, her father had come home drunk. he didn't really come home unless he needed a favour or he was drunk and wanted to crash. her mother was pissed at all of those.

she pushed her thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand Regina's test

Ava already had the answers and so far, Regina's test was alright. no major mistakes, she brought the flight sheet as well.

her phone suddenly buzzed from where it was kept at the table she ignored it at first but it started to buzz multiple times so she picked it up seeing a text from Regina

hey loser
how much did i score?
freak
nerd
just tell me my score 🙄

Ava chuckled at the texts finding the blonde's attitude towards the test she 'didn't care about' amusing

she ignored the texts as she graded the paper when the phone started buzzing repeatedly indicating a phone call coming through, ava reached out and picked up the call 

"what?" she said over the phone the yelling in the background was muffled but enough to be noticed on the line 

"can you not read, i texted you" regina's voice spoke from the other side 

"i did see them and i haven't graded your test yet" 

"ugh" regina grunted "what's that in the background?" she referred to the voices 

"i-" ava stuttered "i don't know, i don't hear anything" she spoke 

"oh" regina knew something was up but decided not to push ava 

"i'll talk to you later, i gotta grade your test" she said as she hung up 

the next day ava walked inside the school alone, she was late and jonathan and darcy had already arrived. she walked through the busy halls just when regina approached her 

"hey" regina said as ava continued to walk 

"thought you didn't want me to talk to you at school" ava said as she looked straight ahead increasing her pace, she was almost sure she was gonna be late 

"yeah whatever" regina struggled to keep up with her "stop" she grabbed the backof ava's jacket to stop her and it worked "how much did i score?" regina faced ava 

"aren't you desperate" ava took out the test from her backpack "72" she handed the paper to regina "good job, george" she smiled 

"wait, seriously?" regina couldn't control her smile when she looked at the paper, the adrenaline high, she lunged herself into ava's arms wrapping her arms around her neck 

ava froze, her eyes widened as she tried to process what just happened. she forgot how to breath until regina pulled away reluctantly 

"i-" regina started 

"i shou- i should get going" ava cut her off before she hurried away leaving regina there as everybody stared, feeling shocked?
