*At Highschool, in the halls before class*
Cristina scans the school halls as she walks down them, trying to find her boyfriend, Owen. They have been dating since Freshman year, the two were an on-off relationship because they kept arguing over small things, though them both make up after a week or so.
She finally finds the ginger and she runs up to him. Well.. speedwalks, she isn’t going to embarrass herself in the school by running through the halls.
”Hey babe!” She intertwines her hand into his
”Oh hi! This is Teddy, i’m not sure if you’ve met her yet. We used to go to elementary together.” Owen smiles as he introduces said Teddy
“Oh..” Cristina stares at the dirty blonde for a few minutes with a look on her face, and not a good one, “Hi. I’m Cristina.”
“Hello!” She says with a grin
”She’s happy.. why is she so overly joyful? Take her back where you found her.” Yang whispers to her boyfriend
”Give her a chance! I promise, she’s better than you think!” he whispers back
”Anywayssss.. Come on Owen, we might be late for lesson.” Teddy walks past Cristina who glares at her and she glares back.
”See you at recess, love you!” Owen plants a kiss to Cristina’s cheek before catching up to Teddy
“Love you too!” she calls after him
Cristina really does NOT like this girl.
”Soo.. Any more updates on the Owen-new girl situation?!” Meredith slides into the seat next to Cristina in their hangout spot
”Ugh! Don’t remind me of that stupid blonde. I found out she went to the same elementary as Owen. She is absolutely so annoying!” Cristina huffs, taking out her apple as a snack
“Woah! So they have history.” Mer gasps
”Yeah yeah. Whatever, tell me about McDreamy.”
“Well.. uhm, I know we promised that we wouldn’t be more than friends.” Meredith starts fidgeting
”But..?” Cristina bites into her juicy red fruit
”But… We kind of made out in the library during our studying session!” Grey looks down, ashamed.
”Okay! Wow, slow down! So that’s your thing now? Making out with McDreamy in libraries?”
”It was just one time..” she left the sentence hanging
Cristina sent her a look
”Okay! Maybe 4 times.” Mer surrenders
”You are wild.”
”Whatever!”
Since Teddy moved schools, Yang only sees Owen with her.
“That stupid bitch is trying to steal my boyfriend.” she thought everytime she locked eyes with the blonde. Her blood boiled when they walked past. She was jealous. And she didn’t like it.
At Lunch, the two childhood bestfriends laughed and laughed even harder when the other added onto the joke. Cristina was enraged as she watched from afar. After they finished laughing their asses off, she marched up to them and pushed Teddy out of the way, then proceeded to walk away with a confused Owen.
Leaving Teddy staring daggers at Yang’s back as she was left behind.
There was a running competition which the junior and senior years had to take part in, including: Meredith, Cristina, Teddy and Owen. It was mandatory as it was to raise charity.
The four was in their own sport wear, Cristina honestly didn’t care about the competition and wore tight sport clothing that showed her boobs and ass, while the others wore appropriate clothing.
”Wow, you are really showing off Cris!” Meredith says, handing a water bottle to Yang who gladly took it.
”Thank you!” Cristina answers sarcastically “I’m going to beat Teddy. Whether she likes it or not.” She says, stretching her legs by doing hamstring walks on the spot
The competition started in about 5 minutes so everyone took their places. Owen was against one of his peers, Meredith was up against Derek and Cristina was lucky enough to be opponents to Teddy. The two were first.
”On your mark….”
The host counted down slowly, Cristina got into her running position. Which meant bending down and placing all fingertips on the floor, one knee close to her chin, the other leg in a pushup stance and her head facing forward. She was determined and didn’t like losing.
”Get set…”
Teddy took deep exhales and sharp inhales, she looked over at her right where Cristina was. She couldn’t help but stare at her focused face and her slim body.
“No. You hate her! She took your bestfriend away from you!” The voice in Teddy’s head forced her to keep her eyes on the track. And to continue the breathing.
”GO!” the host blew the whistle and the enemies bolted from their positions
Cristina was in the lead, she felt relieved until she noticed Teddy catching up in the corner of her eye. That wasn’t good.. She sped up, ignoring the pain in her legs and chest. She needed this anyways. Cristina wanted to become a surgeon, the best cardio surgeon there was. And if a patient is coding, she has to get there straight away and as fast as she could.
The two were exchanging who was in the lead, they were head to head but the finish line was getting closer and closer. If she loses this, she won’t be able to show her face to Teddy. To save her from embarrassment. Cristina’s ankles were killing her, the moment she blinked, she felt herself fall over and a bursting pain erupted from her right ankle.
”AH. FUCKING HELL!! UGHH!” she yelled in pain when she realised she had tripped, hard and had twisted her ankle.
Teddy harshly stopped in her tracks, she was close to finishing. But something inside of her made her sprint back to Cristina. She kneeled down next to Yang who bit her lip so violently it started to bleed slightly.
”What happened?!” Teddy asked panicking
”Can you see? I obviously tripped and sprained my motherfucking ankle!!” Cristina hissed
”Can you walk?” As soon as she said it she knew it was a dumb question to ask
”Nooo.. it actually healed so quickly I can become the new Usain Bolt.” Cristina smiled off “OF COURSE I CAN’T WALK.”
”I’m picking you up”
”No you’re not.”
”Yes I am.” And with that, Teddy scoops Cristina in her arms
“I’m fine” she whined
”You said yourself that you can’t walk.” the blonde argued
”You are so annoying.”
It took a while for the two to come back to the start where everyone was gasping and ‘oohing’. Cristina thought she was going to die of embarrassment.
Owen and Meredith ran up to them
”Cristina!! Are you okay?” Owen said
”She is obviously hurt! Are you blind?” Meredith crosses her arms
”That’s what I said. Can you tell her to drop me now?” Cristina turns to Owen
“You can’t walk though..” he raises his eyebrow
”Come on Yang! Let’s take you to the hospital” Teddy offers
”I’d rather not.”
“Come on babe!” Owen insisted
”Whatever.”
After a month of walking around school with crutches and taking elevators, Cristina can finally let them go and live her normal school life. Cristina had broken up with Owen. For good! She noticed him taking no notice of her and she felt like she was the only one trying in the relationship. Everything was going fine. Except, Teddy is still a major problem for her. She keeps getting mixed feelings.. she’s not gay? Cristina Yang is not gay.
”Wow, glad to see you on your own feet.” Alex laughs as he walks past in the cafeteria.
Cristina snatches a piece of paper from one of the freshmans next to her, scrunches it into a ball and throws it at him, hitting him on the head before continuing to walk. Hearing him say
”What the fuck?!”
brings a smile to her face.
”Cris! Wait up.” A familiar voice called for her. She knew who it was and chose to ignore it
”I know you can hear me Cris.” the voice grew louder and Cristina could tell they were right behind her
”It’s Cristina. Not Cris.” She corrected as she turns round and faces Teddy Altman.
”Meh.. I like Cris better.” Teddy shrugs while Cristina rolls her eyes
”Does it look like I care? Stop using the nickname.” she crosses her arms and straightens her back to seem more intimidating.
”What’s your problem with me anyways? You always had one with me since I joined.” Teddy dares to step closer, their faces a few inches apart.
Cristina glares at emerald, shiny eyes as Teddy glares back into chocolate, mysterious ones. Yang scoffs and turns to walk off.
”Seriously?! What is it with you?” Teddy follows her out of the cafeteria where many eyes laid on the two.
”Are you playing dumb? You know what you are doing.” Cristina enters the bathrooms where they could be alone. That is when she turns round to start the argument she wanted to start aeons ago.
“Ever since you came here, you gave me dirty looks. You even tried to steal my boyfriend. And by the way! It fucking worked because he started paying little to NO ATTENTION TO ME. You embarrassed me at the running competition by carrying me?! What was up with that? Now everyone probably thinks i’m a loser because of you. I TRIED! I tried giving you a chance because Owen told me to. But it is so hard when you keep clinging on to him and being all touchy, giving him gifts whenever. Yeah. I saw you exchanging gifts before christmas holidays.
F L A S H B A C K
Cristina was with Meredith, linking arms. It was a week before the Christmas holidays and they both wanted to get presents for their partners. As they rounded the last corner to exit out of school, Mer started to whisper.
”Cristina, isn’t that Owen, with Teddy?!” she covers her mouth
”What.” Cristina follows Meredith’s eyes and lo and behold. Owen and Teddy, gifting the presents they got each other. Warm smiles plastered onto their faces.
”It’s probably nothing. They are good childhood friends anyways.” Cristina tries her best to make her voice not shake as she hid her pain. Owen hadn’t gotten her anything yet. Well.. he hasn’t for the past year. Now his bestfriend comes along and he suddenly uses up all his money to buy her a present?
”Ton of bullshit” she thought to herself
E N D O F F L A S H B A C K
”And now you’re asking what is MY problem?! You humour me Teddy.” Cristina scoffs
”I… I didn’t know he didn’t get you gifts.” Teddy guiltily said
”Yeah? Well whatever. It’s done now.”
”It was just that I was so jealous. Of your relationship. The love that u gave Owen, I wanted that. I wanted what he had. Including you. I want you, Cristina. I did take him away from you, yes. But how else would I be able to get him away from you?! This is so stupid. I’m sorry for making your school life awkward.” Teddy lifted a hand to the back of her neck, resting it there.
”You want me?” Cristina mumbled “Why the fuck would you want me when Owen was right there? I thought you liked him.”
“Well, like I said.. I only became touchy to him so he would pay less attention to you and you would break up with him. I wanted a chance with you, I can be so selfish at times..” Altman sighs “I want you because of your courage. At the competition, you looked so determined and focused. When we were head to head, you didn’t give up, you kept going.”
“Until I fell over and you carried me..” Yang smiled to herself when remembering the memory. She acted like she hated it but deep down. She loved being so close to Teddy, her warmth surrounding her. She had wished she could stay there forever, but she guesses God wasn’t on her side that day.
Teddy laughs, “Yeah.. until I carried you. I really love you Cristina. And I hope you love me t—“ She got cut off by Cristina’s lips on hers.
The kiss was gentle, soft, calm. Cris wrapped her arms around Teddy’s neck, deepening the kiss.
“This is wrong, but I like it?“ the two thought.
Teddy laid her hands on Cristina’s waist and guided her to one of the cubicles, locking the door behind her.
Maybe Cristina is gay, she never felt this kind of love she had with Teddy with a man before.
