Chapter 15
Wanda walked out of the bathroom with only a towel, Pepper and I turned around to give her some privacy until she can say we can look.
"Hey Tasha, here's your hoodie back." She said with my hoodie in her hand extending towards me.
"You can keep it." I said giving it back to her.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Malysh, don't worry I have tons of those back at my dorm."
"You know you could just tell me what it means so I don't have to ask everytime right?" She laughed.
"Yeah no, you'll just have to wait until saturday then I'll tell you."
"That makes me look forward to it more." She said smiling.
"Where are even taking me? Are planning to kidnap me?" She joked.
"You'll see, You'll see," I mused.
"And no, I'm not gonna kidnap you." I chuckled.
"Do I have to where something formal, if yes then give me a heads up right now."
" No, we'll just wear something comfortable, I don't plan on making a date that big if one of us won't enjoy it, so no." I answered honestly.
"It's okay to look now."
We already turned back to see Wanda in her skirt, Pepper just stood there in awe from the conversation. We clearly forgot that we were not the only ones in the room.
I finished putting on my uniform, whilst Wanda was putting on her shirt. Pepper on the other hand was putting all her notebooks in her bag.
"Hey Pep, do we have lockers?" I asked tying my tie on.
"Oh yeah, we do, I just bring mine here to review."
"Do they-" I was about to say something before I heard a knock on the door.
The knocking was loud and desperate, of course I already know who it is. I opened the door to see Yelena already in her uniform and carrying her bag.
I let her in and she plopped herself on Wanda's bed, making Wanda tilt her head in confusion. Yelena sat up and took her schedule out of her bag.
"Thank god I didn't make that bet or else I'd lose alot of money." Yelena laughed in relief.
"What bet?" Wanda asked.
"Well Belova here, didn't think I could pull off the uniform, and this is me proving myself that I can."
"Well you pulled it off pretty well, much better than Yelena, no offence." Wanda joked.
"Hey! And here I thought we're all on the same side. " Yelena said slighly offended.
"Oh so there are sides now? If there is I'm taking Nat"s." Pepper laughed.
"Same sorry Yel." Wanda added.
"Думаю, ты проиграл." (Guess you lose.) I teased.
"Ugh Whatever." She huffed.
"Hey Nat, did you look at what class you have today?" Yelena said looking at here old schedule.
I took out mine and scanned through it a couple of times. I then started to braid my hair as I told them my schedule throughout the day.
"Oh I have Chemistry with uh Mr. Banner, Calculus with Mr. Coulson, History with Ms. Carter are all my classes in the morning."
"Then lunch." Yelena added.
I laughed knowing that all she'll look forward to is lunch.
"Then in the afternoon is PE with Mr. Rogers and Social Studies with Mr. Strange."
"Okay so we both have classes with Banner and Rogers together, Banner is a bit shy and quiet, and Rogers doesn't like people who cuss." Yelena said.
"We have Coulson together with Wanda, don't worry he's fun." Pepper said.
"I also have class with you in Social studies." Wanda said.
"So I'm alone on Ms. Carter's class."
"Don't worry, just don't be late on Ms. Carter's class and you'll be fine." Pepper reassured me.
"Okay now that we know what's what, are we ready to head down now?" I asked.
"Sure." they all said in unison.
--------------
We all took the stairs, since most of the students are lined up in front of the elevator, and because of that we don't plan on making the line longer.
We went on seperate ways as we head to our first class. I had to follow Yelena since I didn't memorize the whole building from the tour last saturday.
We arrived inside a big room full of beakers and chemicals. Then a man appeared and approached me, he looked sort of soft-spoken and slightly awkward, I automatically assumed he was Mr. Banner.
Yelena got to her seat, which left me standing in the middle of the classrom, since I started on mid-term on my first day here I don't have designated seat here.
"Good morning everyone, I would uh- like to introduce your new classmate." I can tell he was nervous even though he's been working here for who knows how long.
He looked at me and led me to the middle. "Please introduce yourself."
"Sure. Good morning my name's Natasha Romanoff, you can call me Natasha."
"Well Natasha, please take that seat next to Darcy, uhm Darcy please raise your hand ." He said then a brunette in a ponytail with glasses raised her hand.
I saw Yelena groan that I wasn't gonna sit next to her, I just chuckled at her. I walked towards her and took the vacant seat next to her. She extended her hand as if asking me to shake it and my suspicions were'nt wrong.
"Hi I'm Darcy Lewis, nice to meet you. I like your hair by the way" She offered her hand.
"Natasha Romanoff and thank you" I accepted her hand and divert my attention back to the lecture.
"Okay so today, we are going to talk about Quantum physics. It is usually known as Quantum mechanics it is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles...."
I just zoned out, mostly took down a few notes and just went on autopilot. His class was ok, he wasn't really engaging with the whole class, a few more lecture went by on quantum physics we heard the bell rang.
I stood up, put all my notes in the bag and then I heard Darcy spoke. "Hey Natasha, what's your next class?"
I turned to her already packed and was ready to go. She was roughly the same height as me, I just can't tell by the hair.
"I have Coulson's class next."
"Oh cool, same. Wanna head there toghether?" She asked.
"Yeah sure." I answered
"Hey Yelena, I'm gonna head to Coulson's with Darcy" I said walking to her.
"Yeah Yeah, It sucks that you're not sitting next to me. I think Banner hates me." She joked.
"He probably does." I chuckled walking away.
"Say hi to Wanda for me!" She called out while packing her notes.
"Will do." I laughed while extending a thumbs up catching up to Darcy who went first.
"Since when were you friends with miss blonde girl over there?" Darcy asked as we were walking to the end of the hall.
"Since I got here last saturday, Why'd you ask?"
"Oh nothing, just asking."
"Ok." I shrugged it off and kept walking to the last door.
"Why don't you go a head, I wanna wait for someone." I told Darcy.
"Sure, see ya" She said.
"Tasha!" A familiar voiced called out.
I turned to see Wanda running towards me, while Pepper was just walking behind her.
"Hey Wands." I smiled.
"So how was class with Banner?" She catched up and asked audibly out of breath.
"It was ok, just took a few notes here and there." I shrugged and then I noticed what she was wearing.
"Was it that boring?" She giggled.
"Wait, is that my hoodie?" I smiled.
"Oh yeah, since it was a bit chilly earlier, so I decided to bring it." She said clutching the hem of the hoodie.
"It looks adorable, I made the right decision to give it to you." I smirked.
She hid her face trying to hide the forming not so subtle blush. I grabbed her hand and we went in the classroom.
It was the same as the first, I introduce myself then take a seat. Thank god that Coulson let me choose my own seat, of course I chose to sit next to Wanda.
As I was walking up to sit next to her, I passed by Pepper and saw her shaking her head laughing. I took the seat next to Wanda, and tried to advert my attention at the lesson.
---------------
A few minutes of taking notes, I unsubconciously grabbed Wanda's hand making her look at me confused to why I held her hand but just went with it anyway.
An hour goes by as the bell rang I was still holding her hand. I stood from my seat and slung my bag on my other shoulder.
"Milacik?" She whispered, at first I thought I heard it wrong but I was sure that she spoke in Sokovian.
"What's wrong Malysh?" I asked to why she was whispering.
"I'm not out yet." She whispered avoiding my eyes.
Her accent was more evident that usually, I barely heard her but at that moment I understood.
"Do you want me to let go of your hand?" I asked her trying to make her comfortable.
"For now, yes please." She said sadly.
"I understand, do you want me to walk you to class?" I tried to change the topic.
"You're not mad?" She said surprised.
"Why would I be mad?" I looked at her confused.
"Nothing." She quickly said.
I can tell there's something going on with her, but right now I don't want to make it a big deal. I'll talk to her when she's ready to tell me.
"Let's go, I'll walk with you to your class." I said leading her to the door.
"Yo Romanoff!" I heard someone call out.
"Oh hey Lewis." I looked back.
"I have Ms. Carters class next, how about you?"
"Same." I shrugged.
"Where are you going Ms. Carter's class is that way." She said pointing at the opposite direction from where Wanda was heading.
"I was going to walk Wanda to her class." I said pointing at Wanda behind me.
"It's okay Tasha, I don't want you to be late on your first class with Ms. Carter." Wanda excused.
I walked towards her, checking our surroundings and whispered. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure milaya, I'll see you later at lunch." She whispered back and smiled.
"Ok see you later."
I went back to Darcy and watch Wanda walked to her class.
"What's going on between you and Maximoff over there?" Darcy asked as we head out way to the classroom.
"It's nothing, why?" I mean we haven't had the date yet so I'm technically not lying.
"Why don't you tell that to a microwave." She said unconvinced on what I said.
"I'm just being a friend to her."
"Uhuh, that explains the nicknames you call eachother."
"They're just nicknames, what's wrong with that?" I said as we were almost at the door.
"Did I forgot to mention that I'm gay as fuck and have an excellent gaydar, I mean look at me, I'm clearly a nerdy lesbian stereotype." She chuckled.
"Can you not tell anybody please? She"s not out yet." I sighed as I was entering the room.
"Don't worry her secret is safe with me, but that still doesn't answer th-" I put my hand on her mouth to shut her up in a kind of nice way.
"Did you just lick my hand?" I wipe my hand on the sleeves of her shirt.
"Well you did put it on my mouth so." She laughed.
"You can ask me anything later, just not right now." I grumbled.
"You better ready your answers then." She laughed heading towards her seat.
