Fuckboy Mike
Kara skipped through the hallway. Dinner was in a couple of hours and she had totally forgot about Cheer Practice. The only good thing was that she wasn’t late, at least not yet. She picked up her pace and ran to her dorm to gather her clothes and bag, barely stopping to see that Lena was curled up like a ball under the covers.
She couldn’t help ‘aww’ outloud and pull herself away.
“Hey! You guys ready?” Kara clapped her hands and beamed at the rest of her squad. They returned her smile and got into position.
…
“Bye guys!” Kara waved to the rest of her cheer squad and made her way to the cafeteria for dinner. She smiled at the thought of meeting Lena there and turned the corner with a bounce in her step. The sight before her stopped her in her tracks.
Mike, the schools most annoying jock and fuck boy, had a girl with brown hair cornered, his body was effectively covering up her face as he leaned over her, hand resting on the wall next to her head. Kara peeked around him and found that that shorter girl was Lena.
“Come on baby, just give me a little kiss” He coo'd.
Kara was burning with anger, or was it jealousy? It was definitely jealousy.
“I've already told you several times I'm not interested” Lena retorted, crossing her arms in front of her.
“Oh come on I just want a kiss”
Lena looked defiant, she held her ground and made no attempt at running away from him, but Kara knew him better, so she jogged forward and stood behind Mike.
“What the hell do you think you're doing?” A strong voice asked. Kara wasn't one to use bad words but she was seriously angered by Mike’s choice of victim today. He whirled his head around and glared at Kara who simply leaned back and quirked an eyebrow at him.
“Yes, Kara?” He said with an innocent tone.
“I said what the hell do you think you're doing? Are you really trying to kiss my girlfriend?”
Mike stepped back, confusion written on his face. Lena looked equally confused and Kara shot her a quick glance, trying to get the brunette to play along.
“Girlfriend?” The boy looked between the two of them and Lena quickly stepped next to Kara.
“Yes, girlfriend, Kara and I are dating. So if you don't mi-”
“She never mentioned having a girlfriend and if you hadn't stepped in I'm pretty sure she would've kissed me so…” Mike looked smugly at Kara who frowned slightly as a decision was made in her mind.
The brunette looked at Mike, waiting for Kara to say something when she suddenly felt two strong hands grab her shoulders and spin her. The girl didn't have time to process anything that was happening before Kara surged forward and their lips met. Lena was shocked but she didn't waste any time as she melted into the kiss and her lips moved against Kara's. She tilted her head to the side for better access, her hands finding Kara's face to cup her cheeks.
Kara panicked and the next thing she knew she was kissing Lena and Lena was kissing her back. A whirlwind of emotions went through her as she fully processed what she had just done. Her hands instinctively circled around Lena's waist, pulling the shorter girl closer. Lena tasted like honey while Kara tasted like strawberries.
After what seemed like ages but was only a few moments, they broke apart. Lena's chest was heaving up and down, her lips swollen. Kara was fairly certain she was wearing most of the other girls lipstick.
Both girls noticed that Mike was long gone. Lena's hands dropped awkwardly at her sides and Kara stepped back, not completely however.
“I'm so sorry about that... it's just I know Mike and trust me he would've kissed you one way or the other, I know it sounds kinda rape-like but it's not, he just likes kissing pretty girls and eventually he'd try getting into your pants” Kara grabbed onto Lena's hand and smiled warmly.
‘Pretty girls’ Lena was screaming with joy on the inside.
“Well, thank you then, for saving me from him” she matched Kara's smile and they walked to the cafeteria together.
Her smile only grew when she realized Kara never let go of her hand.

“Hey babe, did you...you know” Lucy raised her eyebrows with a goofy grin on her face at the sight of Lena and Kara holding hands as they entered the caf.
Kara cleared her throat and let go of the other girl's hand, slowly as to not cause offence.
“No. I didn’t. Maybe later” Kara left out any further details seeing as the subject of the conversation was standing right next to her. Lena furrowed her brow at their vague little talk.
Lucy pursed her lips and nodded, watching Kara jump into the lunch line followed by Lena.
“I totally forgot she had cheer practice. So much for, ‘go get your girl’”
Maggie laughed, dimples and everything and scanned the lunchroom for Alex and Winn.
Kara was in even more of a pickle now. Kissing Lena for the third time was even better than the first two, probably the result of actually being sober. But again, she had excused the kiss, and again Lena had waved it off. Fourth time's the charm? Kara silently cringed at herself.
Lena licked her lips and not because of the food. She had kissed Kara two times already and yet here she was. That was two kisses past platonic, but Kara was still her friend and her friend only. The brunette was just frustrated and she really had to do something about it.
“Hey hoes, yall ready to mingle? Party tonight? What do you say?” Lucy grinned.
Alex, Maggie, Winn, Lena and Kara groaned.
“No!” They all said.
“Jinx” Winn and Kara pointed to one another. Kara stuck her tongue out.
Alex coughed into her fist. “Nerds”
Kara couldn’t handle another drunk Lena and Lena couldn’t handle another massive hangover. Both Alex and Maggie couldn’t possibly deal with the splitting headache that followed and Winn was tired of losing to James at every single game.
“Whatever, losers”
Kara caught Mike ogling her from across the cafeteria. He was paying more attention to her breasts than her face. Kara’s made a disgusted look and rolled her eyes, not paying him any mind and refusing to give him the attention that he so much desired.
Mike was always the same, he tricked girls into thinking he ‘loved’ them and got in their pants. And then he left. Of course it had never happened to Kara, she was far too intelligent to fall for his little tricks, and she had Alex who asked him if he’d like to see how far she could shove her fist down his throat.
Lena took notice at the way Mike was looking at Kara. Kara who was suppose to be her girlfriend. So she scooted closer to the cheerleader and intertwined their hands underneath the table as he watched with his beady little eyes. Kara turned and offered her a bright smile.
Maggies gaydar went through the roof at the not so subtle shifting of shoulders and arms that cut off under the table.
