It's Complicated (High School AU)

Nat and her ways

————————»«—————————

"Where did you find this?" I questioned Natasha. She started walking in her casual way as she started explaining.

"Stephen had this, so I took it from him." She motioned towards Stephen at the corner of the hallway with Christine by his side. She was caressing the bruise on his nose, he flinched back a bit and on que a pinch of blood dropped from his nose.

"Have you done that to him?" I wondered. It'll not surprise me, if she is the one who had bruised him. She is pretty tough, actually she is really tough. She can take down anyone in this school. She is on the defense team of our school, the team has no gender preference, both boys and girls practice together. She is trained among all girls. Tony told me it was like one of those places in Archie's comic, where sisters trains girls how to become a woman and to not gave in to your emotions. The superior of that place has suggested the idea of sterilization to Natasha's parents. Her parents are tough with her, I think it's because they are Russians. No offense or any judgements but it's accurate based on how they treat her.

"Yeah, I did. Nobody mess with my friends." We reached the first floor and she turned to me with a straight, judging face. "You should tell him about your feelings." She stood at the first step of the stairs for second floor.

"Very funny." I mocked but obviously she didn't find it amusing as her straight face left unaffected. "I'm not going to express my feelings."

"So, you'll rather die with your feelings?"

"That would be it."

She eyed me for a minute or so, I literally shrunk to two inches by her intense stare. "You're gonna tell him." She stated before she turned around and went upstairs.

"No, I'm not!" I called out but she didn't respond. Why? God, why? Does it have to be Nat? Out of all people. She is dominating and I know for sure she will make me express my feelings to Tony.

"What's with the shouting, Steve?" I turned around to follow the voice and it was Sam.

"It's Natasha." I replied as we both walked towards our first class.

I walked towards the bio lab, Natasha called me to. After I finished my football practice, I got the text from her to meet her at the bio lab after football practice. I took the shower before I went to meet her. Tony must be there to for his big science event project. I hope she doesn't take the whole 'confess your feeling' thing too seriously.

I knocked on the lab door, after a couple seconds it was swift open with Natasha standing there with a huge smile. She pulled me in by her left hand and as I fully entered the class I saw a bandage wrapped around on her right hand. I was going to question her, how she got hurt as in the morning she was completely fine.

"As I told you ma'am. Steve is here."

"For what?"

"To help in art work of the science project. I was supposed to do all the work but accidentally I broke my hand in workshop today. I hope you can help Tony and others." She smirked, fiddling her eyebrows at me. I glared at her before I turned towards our new biology teacher.

"I will help." I smiled at her before I turned to Tony, who is eyeing Natasha with a suspicious look.

"Thanks, Mr. Rogers. Ms Romanoff take care." Natasha bid goodbye as she walked out of the lab but not before she glanced back at me. I walked Ms. Smith who is working with Peter, Wanda and some other students. Tony is working alone on the opposite side, writing down stuff on spread sheets infront of him. Ms. Smith gave me instructions about the diagrams and I started doing my best work. They are making four different projects from four different classes.
