In your arms - Wanda Maximoff

Won't Risk It

FLASHBACK

When the person you felt like you could trust ended up being the one to betray you leaves a mark, a notion to be cautious all the time.

That's what Wanda felt after what Agatha did.

Natasha continued to comfort her after that day and for the following weeks and even over the summer. "You don't need someone like that." She would often let the cheerleader know.

"I figured that. I completely moved on. I just want to know why would she do that to me." Wanda asked, her voice starts to sounds vulnerable again.

They were hanging by the bleachers of the gymnasium ready for the first day of their senior year to start. She only hoped this year be better than last year but then again, anything could be better than last year.

"You don't need to know that. And even if you did, would that make a difference? In the end of the day she hurt you." Natasha argued.

"Anyone in this school would be lucky to be loved by you. You just have to pick carefully this time." She added.

"I don't like anyone at this school. I've known you guys since forever." Wanda stated, "And no offense, none of you are my type." She joked.

"What about Bucky?" Natasha curiously asked. She did noticed them spending a lot of time together over the summer.

"What about him?" The cheerleader asked nonchalantly. Natasha didn't wanna push the girl so instead she said, "Maybe a new student then? Never say never."

"I just don't know if I can trust again."

"It's a process."

Few minutes before the welcome back to school event Wanda peeked at the packed people occupying the gymnasium. Her eyes scanned the familiar faces, some of them changed their hair, someone grew taller, it's a fresh feeling.

Her eyes landed on one particular girl. One she never have met before.

You sat in the middle of the bleachers awkwardly and by the looks of it you aren't liking the way your skirt rides up your thigh.

Wanda watched you curiously. She isn't the type of person who can easily admit when someone is pretty but you definitely are. She caught herself immediately, she can't be having crush with you. This is how her heart got broken in the first place.

"Who are you looking at?" Bucky asked next to her, trying to find the person Wanda was looking at.

"None of your business." She snarked at him.

"Whatever." He is used to the girl's attitude. It's been like that since Agatha happened. "I saw the most beautiful girl earlier today." He proudly announced.

"Who?" She asked.

"I didn't got her name but I'll have it by the end of the day." He boasted. Wanda just rolled her eyes.

Soon enough the event proceeded. The cheerleaders entered and Wanda can't help but look at your direction. You are even more stunning up close.

Hope she catches your name somehow.

After the event, class started as per usual. Wanda walked into the room with everyone looking at her. If this happened before she would not think anything by it but after everything that has happened negative thoughts clouded her mind.

Not even ten minutes later she was out of the door to call the person she knows who can help calm her down.

"Seriously Wanda? In school grounds? You know I can't risk it." Bucky hisses at the girl who dragged her inside the closet.
