out of my league [Regina George]

sixteen

ava sat in the living room, solving calc equations as her dad sat beside her eating strawberries. ava was in no way pressured, she sat with her parents because she wanted to. sure it felt a bit weird but she was willing to give them a second chanvce, they were family after all"

"want one?" he asked the girl as she hook her head "today's the spring fling right? you didn't go?" 

"i have zero interest in that" she said as he could tell thee was a story there but he didn't push 

 "you can solve that?" he referred to a problem on her notebook 

"it's a simple integrating equation" she deadpanned 

"my daughter's smart" he smiled making her fight back the grin that appeared on her lips 

"our daughter" freya said as she joined them "how do you solve that?" she asked 

"i have to teach you integration, now?" she asked 

"no, i am just testing you" freya said as ava's phone rang 

"jonathan?" she asked 

"ava, bro" he panted "please come to the school-" 

"what happened?" she asked getting up in concern 

"just hurry, it's darcy" he said before it hung up 

"what about darcy?" she asked "he-hello?" she looked at her parents who just nodded as she changed into more outgoing clothes and sped to the school in her car 

her mind was going a million miles a minute when she was driving to the school. she wasted no time in bursting in through the doors when she spotted jonathan due to his height

"what happened?" she asked panting "where's darcy?" 

"hi" darcy said from the chair she was sitting in 

"hey, what happened? are you okay?" ava examined darcy for any signs of discomfort 

"i am fine" darcy laughed making ava confused 

"what?" she forrowed her eyebrows when the realisation hit her 

"ava, look-" jonathan started 

"no, no, no, no" she dry chuckled "you're not gonna trick me into talking to regina" she said 

"why?" he asked now frustrated at the girl's immaturity 

"because" she sighed "i think i am in love with her" she muttered loud enough "and it's so, so fucking scary" her voice wavered "it's eating me up from the inside and it-it physically hurts not knowing if she feels the same and that's the reason i don't wanna talk to her. i don't wanna know if she loves me or not because both of those answers sound equally terrifying" 

"uh" jonathan said 

"what?" ava realised "she's right behind me isn't she?" ava asked making the two nod as she turned around 

"wow" regina exclaimed "it took a bus to hit me for you to admit that" 

"come on" ava sighed 

"hey" regina took ava's hand into her own "i love you, too" she confessed "and it doesn't have to be so terrifying, i promise" 

ava looked into the blonde's eyes before slowly and carefully reaching up to place a chaste kiss to her lips 

"i love you" she whispered 

"i love you" regina smiled before the two joined their foreheads and smiled at each other 

"woo" jonathan cheered before ava rolled her eyes at him

"i forgot you were still there" ava shook her head 

"i am so happy for you" darcy exclaimed 

"do you wanna dance?" regina asked 

"i am not in the right attire, but sure" she smiled at the blonde as the two made their way to the dancefloor, a slow pop song played in the background 

ava snaked her arm around regina's waist the other hand holding the blonde's. regina's hand caressed the back of ava's neck with her thumb as the two swayed to the music 

"here we are" ava hit the breaks as she reached the george mansion with regina in the passenger seat. 

ava stepped out and opened regina's side of the door to help her out as the latter mumbled a small thank you

"hey" regina called out "do you wanna come in?" she asked making ava smile and nod 

"yeah for sure" she said before she started walking towards the backyard 

"what are you doing? come here" regina called the girl back as the two walked inside the house, hand in hand 

"are you sure?" ava asked the blonde 

"we kissed in front of the whole school, yes i am sure" she said before mrs. george was spotted 

"regina, hey. and you are" she thought for a moment looking at ava "i know you" 

"her tutor-" ava started 

"regina's tutor of course honey, come her" she gave the girl a tight hug

"mom" regina called her as mrs. george pulled away "she's not my tutor" she said making the two confused "i mean, she's not just my tutor. she's my girlfriend. as in romantically. like we kiss and stuff" 

"oh" mrs. george said "that's amazing sweetie" she gave regina a careful hug

"thanks" the two mumbled before making their way upstairs  

"oh and, use protection. even lesbians can catch STDs" mrs. george shouted at the two from behind as they sat on regina's bed 

"she sounds concerned" ava said holding in her laugh 

"you can laugh" regina deadpanned as ava burst out laughing before she joined regina on the bed

the couple layed flat on their backs side by side looking up at the ceiling as ava sighed 

"you know" regina started "i lost spring fling and that'd have really upset me but it doesn't. i don't really care if i lost the spring fling" 

"because you won me? the amazing, talented, smart, sexy, loving girlfriend?" ava joked 

"yeah" regina replied making ava smile "except smart everything's a lie, but yeah" she smiled making ava fake gasp as she put her weight on her elbow to face regina 

"you know it's true" she said before she kissed the girl and pulled her closer 

"i can't believe i am saying it again, but" regina whispered "i love you" she held onto ava's collar

"i love you too" ava whispered before smiling and kissing the girl again
