A High School Thing

little old crush

"You're late Ms.Romanoff," Mr. Coulson announced as she walked into her first-period class. She was only ten minutes late. Was that even considered being late? It shouldn't. 

"Sorry I was sitting in my car listening to sad music starring out at the sky acting like I am in a movie." She didn't have a car. But Maria did. If it was up to Maria they would have ditched. But neither wanted to explain to their parents and host parents where they were all day. 

"Just take a seat," he said, she smirked and walked over to Steve who was shaking his head towards her.  

"What?" She asked pulling out her English book. "Can't a girl have some fun around here?" 

"He's gonna start to hate you, do you really want that?" She gave him a knowing smirk. 

"He can hate me, but there is nothing he can do about it." She smiled proudly at him before settling in her seat and drowning out all the noise around her. 

Later that day, as per usual Natasha met up with Maria in the computer area. As she walked toward the area she saw Sam casually walk out of there, not noticing her at all. Hm, interesting. Natasha couldn't help but smirk just a little bit and she walked in she had to bite her lip as a way to not immediately yell at Maria and ask if he and Sam were dating. 

"It's about time you get here Romanoff," Maria commented. 

"doesn't seem like you minded very much," she said under her breath. 

"What was that?" Maria raised an eyebrow towards her. 

"Oh nothing," Natasha smiled sitting down beside her friend. 

"Why are you acting weird?" 

"Why are you being suspicious?" Natasha shot back. 

"Why are you acting like you know something?" 

"Why are you so afraid of me knowing something?" Natasha continued to answer her questions with some of her own. 

"Why are you acting like this?" 

"Why are-" 

"Okay enough," Maria finally said. "What do you know." 

"I don't know anything...yet. I have some suspicions of what I know but I could always be wrong." Natasha smugly said while taking out her lunch, which was chicken alfredo for anyone wondering, courtesy of Kennedy. 

"Can you just tell me what's going on?" She asked. 

"Fine." She put down her food. "Maria are you and Wilson dating?" 

"What?" She asked. 

"I saw him walking out of here, and you two disappeared at the party." Natasha was smiling at her friend. Maria's face was turning brought red. 

"So what? You disappeared with Matt and Steve," She pointed out.  

"You are aren't you!" She smiled. Maria only put her head down on the table and groaned. "You are dating Wilson. This is the greatest thing that ever has happened," 

"You can't tell anyone, Natasha, I swear to god." She threatened when she finally lifted her head. "I mean it." 

"Oh don't worry I won't but what happened to him not being your type?" She teased. 

"No I said him trying to start parties is not my type," She said. "We didn't stay at the party." 

"Maria, did you sleep with him?"
