Beginnings
The halls were loud with the sounds of teenagers yelling and greeting each other. Lena clutched her books tightly to her chest and tried to weave silently through the kids. It was the first day and she didn't plan on being late for her first class. Lena paced herself but found that people moved to avoid her anyway. At least one good thing came from the Luthor name.
She could feel the eyes of several kids trained on her but everytime she glanced in someone's direction they quickly looked away. Lena walked faster as if trying to outrun the whispers, but it was hard to drown them out.
‘I bet she's just as crazy as her brother’
‘Look it's another Luthor’
‘Better watch out for her’
She ignored the nagging voices and came to a stop at a classroom door, looking up to read the number. This was it. Lena took a deep breath and opened the door, holding her books closely in one arm. Only a few heads turned her way seeing as the classroom wasn't full yet. She took a seat at the very back and silently watched as people starting filling in, sitting as far away from her as they could. She pretty much had the back of the classroom to herself.
Lena chose that very moment to look up and the view very nearly took her breath away. A gorgeous girl with bright blue eyes and golden blond hair that cascaded in waves over her shoulders entered the class. She wore a cheerleaders outfit and flashed a beautiful smile. Most of the class turned their attention towards the girl and greeted her warmly, some girls running up to give her a hug and guys suddenly straightening up in their chairs. Seems she was quite the catch.
The girls laughter filled the room and her smile only widened as she looked over at Lena. If the brunettes sharp intake of breath was any indication, she was extremely nervous. The girl walked in her direction with a bounce in her step. It was hard to keep up her emotionless facade when the beautiful girl smiled at her like that. Much to Lena and the rest of classes surprise, the cheerleader plopped down in the seat right next to her despite all the empty seats in the room and her friends motioning her over.
“Hi, I'm Kara!” she spoke suddenly with a giggle.
Lena released the breath she didn't know she was holding and looked over to the side.
“I'm Lena. Lena Luthor” Lena deadpanned, mentioning her last name in the hope of scaring the girl off. But Kara didn't even flinch. The cheerleader ducked her head down and looked up through her eyelashes.
‘Oh god she's so adorable’
“Well it's very nice to meet you Lena” Kara offered a genuine smile before whipping her head around to face the front of the class. She smelled like strawberries and happiness, if happiness had a smell. A smile threatened to form on Lena's face as the corner of her lips curled up slightly. Class was going to be far more enjoyable than she originally thought.
