Surviving High School

Chapter 30

Emma stood at her locker organising the last of her things before she headed to her last few classes on the first Monday back after Christmas break.

Her two classes were English and science, the thought of being in a classroom with Regina for an hour brought a smile to the girl's face.

Someone cleared their throat next to her causing the girl to jump.

"Sorry for startling you, love" a deep voice responded with a chuckle.

Emma looked up to see none other than Killian Jones leaning against the locker next to hers.

The blonde raised an eyebrow in confusion, "not to sound rude, but what do you want?" She asked. The boy had never spoken to her prior and after what Belle had told her on her first day, the girl never bothered to interact with him. He was in a few of her classes but never once had he spoken to her.

The dark-haired boy chuckled, "I want a date, with the beautiful Emma Swan" he told her with a coy smirk.

Emma scoffed, "okay, first of all, I don't know you, this is the first time you've ever spoken to me. Second, you have a girlfriend" the blonde told him.

Killian let out a soft chuckle, "yes, but I've been watching you since your first day. I've been waiting for my chance where you're not surrounded by your friends" he explained to her.

The blonde let out a laugh, "yeah, and when your girlfriend isn't hanging off your arm. Seriously, man, I don't want to start a fight with Kathryn" she told him, closing her locker.

Emma turned to walk away, but he grabbed her arm, "one date, and I'll make it a night you'll never forget" he husked, leaning so close to her that she felt uncomfortable.

"Hey! Back off, Newbie!" A voice yelled causing Emma to jump.

The blonde looked up and made eye-contact with a fuming blonde, "didn't anyone tell you not to touch what isn't yours?" Kathryn hissed.

Emma stood there in complete shock for a moment, not knowing how to respond to the situation, "okay, Kathryn, I've been in the town for nearly a year, I think we can drop the 'Newbie' crap" the blonde eventually muttered.

The popular girl scowled in her direction as Killian quickly moved to stand next to his girlfriend, "and, are you blind? Killian came on to me, your own boyfriend asked me out on a date. I think you need to sort out your loyalties" the blonde muttered.

Kathryn's face fell, "you bitch!" She screeched taking a step towards the slightly taller blonde.

"Miss Midas, that's quite enough" a husky, feminine voice said from beside them, a voice that instantly brought a smile to Emma's face.

Emma turned to see Regina standing with her arms crossed watching the interaction, "why don't you leave Emma alone and head to class" she offered.

Katheryn smirked at Emma, "has the Evil Queen got a soft spot for you because you took in her witch of a sister?" She asked tilting her head slightly to the side.

The taller blonde scowled, "don't you dare speak that way about either of them" the girl growled taking a step toward the popular girl but someone grabbed her arm.

Emma turned to see Zelena holding her back, "oh, look, the Wicked Witch has arrived" Katheryn toyed with a short giggle.

The redhead rolled her eyes, "go have your fun somewhere else, Kathryn. No one likes a bitch" Zelena muttered.

Kathryn scowled, "Emma needs to learn her place" she hissed.

"I will not ask again, Kathryn. Leave Emma alone, or I will put you in detention" the teacher growled, her patience wearing thin.

The popular blonde turned to look at Regina and tilted her head to the side, "crushing on a student, Miss Mills?" She asked playfully.

The brunette smirked as she took a step closer to the group, "jealous it isnt you, Miss Midas?" She responded, her voice low.

Kathryn's eyes widened in surprise. The gaze flickered from the blonde, to the brunette for a moment. She opened her mouth to speak and she staggered slightly as she tried to figure out how to respond.

Emma felt panic begin to build up inside her, "we're screwed. She knows, now we're screwed" the girl thought over and over in her head.

"Trust me" the redhead whispered in the blonde's ear.

The girl turned in confusion and flinched slightly as Zelena pressed her lips against hers.

Understanding what the redhead was doing, the girl responded by wrapping her arms around her friend's waist and kissing her back.

Zelena's hand rested soundly on her cheek as they pulled apart.

The redhead turned to Kathryn with a smirk on her face, "wrong Mills, Midas" Zelena squeaked as she slipped her hand into Emma's.

Emma squeezed her friend's hand thankfully.

Kathryn turned swiftly on her heels and walked away within Killian firmly by the hand.

The blonde turned and made eye-contact with the warm, cocoa eyes of her girlfriend who was staring at the pair in shock not knowing how to respond to what just happened before turning and making her way back to her classroom.

The pair quickly followed the woman and closed the classroom door behind them.

Zelena opened her mouth to speak when Regina's hand met the side of her head, "damn, what the hell was that for?" The redhead squeaked, rubbing the side of her head with her hand.

"That was for kissing my girl" the brunette hissed.

Emma couldn't stop herself from smiling as she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around the smaller woman's waist, "you know you're only one for me" the blonde whispered placing a sweet kiss on the woman's forehead.

Zelena scoffed, "I did you two a favour, the whole school would have known you two were together by tomorrow morning. So what if they think Swan and I are dating if it takes the attention off you two?" the redhead argued still nursing her head.

Regina let out a soft sigh as Emma tucked a strand of her raven hair behind her ear, "she's right, that's why I went with it" the blonde added in.

The brunette frowned, "I know, but I'm the only one you should be kissing" the woman argued smirking at the blonde.

Emma gently pressed her lips against Regina's for a moment, "you will be" the young girl whispered.

Regina turned to her sister, "thank you for helping, Zelena" she said.

Zelena nodded in response as her sister took a step towards her, "don't ever kiss her again" the brunette growled.

The redhead raised her hands in surrender, "I won't" she squeaked.

Emma headed to her locker to grab her bag so she could head home.

The metal door swung open and folded piece of white paper drifted to the floor. The blonde leaned down and picked it up.

She stared at it for a moment before opening it up,

"Classrooms have windows, watch it. K"

Emma froze of the spot, "shit" she muttered.
