No roommate
FLASHBACK
Lena peered out of the car window, gazing out into the distance as they drove up to the school. The building extended into a U shape with the very middle being the main entrance. There was a large balcony on the third floor above the entrance that was held up by two great stone pillars that stood 30 feet tall and smaller balconies on each window of the second floor. Several chimneys lined up on the roof, smoke rising from most of them. The school might've been nice but it didn't change the fact that the Luthors were only sending her away for their own benefit, she was likely only adopted to keep up appearances and now they had finally shipped her off to boarding school.
The car came to a stop and Lena got out without a word, her chauffeur helping her carry her luggage inside where they picked up a key and found Lena's dorm without any help seeing as other students moved to avoid her. Her door was already unlocked and she turned the knob with her elbow, carrying a bag in the other arm. There was a girl laid down on the bed near the window with a MacBook in her lap, she had her headphones in and didn't bother looking up or even acknowledging Lena's presence as the brunette dropped her bags and dismissed her driver.
Getting a closer look she saw that the girl wore a very tight red dress that showed off some of her many tattoos, her hair was pinned up and she had a rather pinched looking face. Lena sighed as she unpacked her things without a single word.

Sleep was calling to Lena and she eagerly changed into more comfortable clothing and climbed into bed for a short nap. Her eyes fluttered shut and she drifted off, excited for dinner where she hoped to run into Kara.
Her dreams were full of a certain blue eyed girl and Lena couldn't even bring herself to be guilty about it.
…
“Lena, hey!”
The brunette turned at the sound of her name and spotted a smiling Kara sitting down at the same table as before. Alex, Winn and Lucy sat around her, leaving a seat open between Lucy and Kara.
“Hi”
“Hey babe” Lucy said casually.
Lena couldn’t help but smile.
‘Babe’
Several thoughts suddenly went through her, most of them deducing that if Lucy called her babe, then earlier today was just a friendly way of greeting the blond cheerleader. Most of her worries went away and she relaxed into her seat and enjoyed her… chicken soup?
“How was practice?” Lena looked to the side and sipped her soup carefully.
“It was great, the girls are getting better and better and we’ll be ready soon for next week’s game” Kara beamed at her, smiling fully.
“Who do you guys room with?”
Lena looked around expectantly and Winn scoffed.
“My roommate is this dude, Mike I think” He said with slight disdain, playing around with his soup.
“Ugh Mike, I hate that guy. He’s nothing but trouble with a pretty face. And he’s co-captain of the football team, second in command to James” Kara sighed.
“Oh yeah and I room with Alex and Lucy rooms with Susan I think” The blonde bit her lip and Lena’s eyes flickered down briefly.
“Oh ok, I was just asking because my roommate Veronica dropped out so I don’t have a roommate and I was hoping one of you could move in”
‘Specifically Kara’ The girl thought.
“But nevermind” she added, slurping her soup without bothering to eat it properly. Kara’s eyes widened.
“That’s great actually!” The blonde smiled in her direction. Lena looked at her expectantly.
“I can move in with you! I know I’m living with Alex but there’s this new girl coming in next week, Maggie I believe, and Alex can room with her, right?”
Alex quirked an eyebrow and opened her mouth to protest but Lucy elbowed her under the table. The oldest Danvers glared at Lucy before her features smoothed out and the two girls shared a knowing look. Alex turned and smiled sweetly at Kara and Lena.
“Of course, I’m more than happy to let you have Kara. She snores at night anyway”
“No, that is not true”
Lena watched in amusement and quirked an eyebrow at the flustered cheerleader.
“I-I most certainly do not” The blonde protested, pouting. Lena cursed internally. Kara hadn’t even moved in and yet she knew she was going to have a hard time keeping her gay crush from growing even more.
“Well now you just have to convince headmistress Grant” Lucy chimed in. Everyone at the table groaned at the mention of her name.
…
“What do you want Kiera” Mrs. Grant peered over the rim of her glasses.
“I wanted to request a room change...please” Kara tilted her head and smoothed out her shirt, she wasn’t normally nervous but Cat Grant had a way of making even the toughest people crack solely under the pressure of her glares.
“And why exactly do you want to move?” The older woman dragged out her words as if annoyed.
“Um I don’t have a reason to dislike my current roommate, but I would like to move into someone else's dorm”
“And who is this, ‘someone else’”
“Lena Luthor”
Headmistress Grant looked up and set her papers down on her desk, she eyed Kara carefully and looked like she was actually considering. The two girls engaged in a staring contest of sorts and several moments passed before Cat broke the silence.
“Very well” she looked back to her papers.
“Really?” Kara was certainly surprised, she didn’t think she’d get this far.
“Yes really. There’s something about you Kiera. I think Lena needs someone like you in her life. Someone that is kind and caring and doesn’t judge the poor girl based on her last name. She’s had enough heartache in her life and she doesn’t need anymore, so yes you can move in with her as soon as you’d like. And for god’s sake stop giggling like a schoolgirl, I have work to do”
Cat sauntered off and left Kara standing there with a stupid grin on her face.
