Maybe That Could Be Us

chapter 4: breaking walls

Yet again I found myself chased down the halls at lunch. I think it's helping me find my way round surprisingly, I keep thinking of what Lena said, about being a Luthor. Why should I not be someone's friend because of their last name?

I didn't realize there was a wall a few feet behind of the door and ran right into it. "Gotcha now, Luthor lover" one of the girls who chased me laughed. Luthor lover? What in the name of Rao?

"I don't lo-" I tried to protest before I was cut off.

"Oh shut up dyke". She slammed my head into the wall.

"Let her go!" I heard Lena shout, Thank Rao she's here.

"Oh look there's the other half, coming to defend the girlfriend?"

"Stop!-" before I knew it she hit my head off the wall again, this time I fell unconscious.

"Kara? Kara? Kara can you hear me" I woke up on the floor, Lena panicking over me. "Are you hurt do you need first aid?"

"No, no I'll be fine, thank you"

"I guess we're even now?"

"Yep-" she suddenly reached out and wiped my face.

"Your nose, it's bleeding" Lena panicked.

"It'll be fine, I've had worse."

"Just let me take you to first aid"

"Fine, but your spending the rest of lunch with me"

"Deal."

"What about the whole don't be my friend thing? It it because you realised it was inevitable that I'd be bullied?"

"No but now you are, it's better to have someone on your side?" She smiled and I melted. "But don't get your hopes up"

I didn't care if it meant I'd be picked on worse, it was basically destined to happen and at least I made a friend this way.

"So do you know where first aid is yet?"

"Not a clue"

"Okay... Shit I hear Megan, quick!" She grabbed my hand and we ran down the corridors, I don't know if I was dazed because I was just unconscious like 5 mins ago or the fact I'm holding Lena's hand.

"We're gonna have to go outside because we'll catch detention for being in school during lunch without a pass."

We sneaked out one of the exits which was left unmonitored and headed across the outdoor basketball court, past the gyms and to another door, "if anyone asks how it happened say you were hit by a basketball... If they find out we were in the halls and that's how you ended up with a bloody nose we could end up with detention and punys..." Lena whispered. "Act like your in extreme pain"

She turned from being calmish/composed to frantically beating the door.

A short woman opened it. "Yes Lena, you don't have to beat the door down for me to hear, what do you need in for?"

"I've been hit by a basketball and my nose is bleeding, it really hurts can I go to first aid?" I winced.

The teacher opened the door Futher allowing me and Lena in, "now girls don't go wandering once you get out." The teacher called out after us.

Lena took me through to the office and explained the situation, without hesitation they let us though and told is to sit outside of the room and I'd be taken in as soon.

"Kara, can you do me a favour?" Lena whispered breaking the silence.

"After earlier when you stopped that girl from beating me up than she did"
