High school years

Chapter 10

"Bye Mama" Carina shouted from downstairs as she and her brother grabbed their things and hurried out the door, "you exited for this?" She asked her brother, his face had cleared up a lot and the black eye was less visible now. "Sì first school trip in America" he said smiling at the brunette before opening the trunk and putting their backpacks in it.

Once they arrived at the school they parked the car and hopped out, making their way to the instructed meeting spot. "Hey Bella" Carina said as she wrapped her arms around the blonde in front of her, "hey you" Maya replied leaning her head back onto the brunettes shoulder. The two were now an official couple, Maya had asked the brunette out, Carina was very happy right now and loved spending time with the blonde.

"Ok you go on the bus and sit down, it will take about 25 minutes until we arrive" the teacher told them as he started to lead kids onto the bus. "Sit next to me?" The blonde asked pouting her bottom lip as she made her famous puppy dog eyes that always got Carina weak in the knees. "Sì Bella, you'll be good?" She asked her brother wanting to know he wasn't alone, "yea I'm sitting with Owen it's all good" he replied smiling at his sister as he got on the bus first.

Once the two got comfortable the blonde rested her head on the brunettes shoulder, breathing in the beautiful sent that was her girlfriend. "You comfy Bella?" She asked knowing the blonde was in her version of heaven, "mhm" was all she got knowing Maya would probably fall asleep like that.

"Bella you can't fall asleep" she said giggling softly at her girlfriend being able to sleep literally anywhere. "Mmmmm" the blonde groaned nuzzling her face into the brunettes neck and giving it a soft kiss before settling back on her shoulder. "Bella!" She said laughing again, "ok ok.... we'll maybe you should be doing something to keep me awake" she said smirking and wiggling her eyebrows about seductively, "not on the bus Bambina" she said leaning in closer to her girlfriend nuzzling there noses softly together both smiling at the cute action.

Once they arrived at the museum they all made there way into the main office area to check in. "Owen you know Carina my sister" she heard Andrea say as she turned around and saw her brother with his friend Owen. "Yes I remember you quite well actually" he said almost drawling over the brunette, "woah dude that's my sister back off" Andrea warned meaning his threat. "Yes what he said" Maya said wrapping her arm around the brunette resting it across her waist. "My sister goes for the other team dude" Andrea said smiling at his confused expression, "the better team" Maya mumbled leaning in to kiss Carina softly on the cheek.

They were divided into groups, it was Carina, Andrea, Maya and Owen. They had a worksheet to fill out. "What's this thing?" Carina asked as she pointed to a weird fossil looking thingy, "that's the human skeleton" the blonde responded quite liking history, "it's composed of around 270 bones at birth- this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together" the group looked at the blonde shocked at her knowing such fact, Carina knew Maya was smart she knew she just didn't want to try. "Mhm that's right I said that" she said smiling at everyone's shocked expression and moving to the next station.

"Look at this" Carina said as she made her way over to a hug tank filled with water and a sunken battle ship at the bottom, "woah" the blonde replied taking a step closer. The brunette appreciated Maya's enthusiasm for history, she herself had always liked it, but Maya actually seemed to enjoy it. "You like history Bella?" She asked as she too took a step closer to the tank "mhm... my dad used to take me all the time, it was our thing" she said as she moved her eyes from the water to her girlfriend, "well at least you have some good memories with your father Bella" she said trying to lighten the situation. "Mhm Yh I guess" she replied looking down at her feet, "hey look at me" the brunette said sensing the blonde was getting sad at the past with her father. "I'll always be here" she said as she swept a piece of hair from the blondes face and tucked it behind her ear, "I know baby" she said leaning in to softly nuzzle her nose with the brunettes, "kiss me Bella" she said before tugging Maya's jumper with her hand and pulling her in, softly kissing her spilling all her emotions into the kiss.
