To be honest I don't know if this has been done before but I don't care haha. It's a High School AU. Emma is (becoming) the captain of the soccer team and Regina is the captain of the cheer squad. No Enchanted Forest, no fairytales. Emma and Regina are 17, Zelena is 18. Henry doesn't exist (as of yet).
Regina is intrigued by Emma even though they are from to completely different worlds...
I do not own Once Upon A Time or it's characters. I'm just super duper trash for Lana Parrilla, Rebecca Mader and Swan Queen...
Also I apologize for any mistakes as English isn't my first language.
Enjoy!
Emma's POV
Emma had just gotten out of her last class of the day, math. She was on her way to the locker room. Soccer had been a part of Emma's life since she was six years old it was the only thing that had been constant in her life. She had been moved from foster home to foster home and sometimes even lived on the street but the soccer had been some kind of therapy for her and had always been there when no one else was.
Emma had been taking in by this lovely couple by the name of Mary Margaret and David in a little town called Storybrooke in Maine. She had only been there for little over a month but so far it felt good.
School was okay, Emma didn't pay much attention. Like she cared if she got grades but wasn't really interested in getting straight A's. But as long she was passing she was happy.
Heading into the locker rooms to get changed for her soccer practice she walked passed one Miss Regina Mills. Regina Mills was the schools post popular girl together with her older sister Zelena. Emma's eyes locked with Regina's it was only for a second but Emma saw something there. Regina was the captain of the cheer squad and just happened to be sharing a locker room with the soccer team.
Emma walked up to her locker and got greeted by Ruby.
"Hi Emma!"
"Hi!" Ruby was one of the few friends Emma had managed to get over these few weeks.
"How was math?"
"Boring as usual." Ruby nodded.
"Where is Belle?"
"She had something to do. She said she would be here though."
Emma nodded and proceeded to get changed.
Regina's POV
Regina had just gotten out of her social studies class and was greeted by her sister and their friends. They had cheer practice today, well they do every day so why would today be any different?
Regina was standing right by the entrance to the locker room with Zelena and their friends talking when the new girl walked by. Regina had gotten to know that the girls name is Emma, they have english and science together.
Emma intrigued her even though they were from two completely different worlds. Emma was wearing jeans, a tank top and a very bright red leather jacket and Regina was a lot more sophisticated than that, in a tight black dress and knee high heels.
Regina had been checking Emma out during her soccer practice since the cheer practice was next to the soccer field. She could tell that Emma was really good and she was a little jealous over that, Regina had always wanted to play soccer but her mother, Cora had forbidden her from it as it wasn't what her sophisticated family did, that was why Regina joined the cheer squad and her mother had been satisfied.
"Regina you're staring again." Zelena rolled her eyes.
Regina turned her attention to her sister.
"Huh?"
"You're staring at the new girl, again."
"Mother would kill you if she found out."
"Yeah I know but she intrigues me."
Zelena nudged her arm.
"Then go talk to her."
"I would but like you said mother would kill me."
"I won't tell." Zelena offered.
"Yeah right." Regina laughed.
"I swear I won't! As long as you don't tell her about me and Ruby…"
"So you guys are a thing." Regina smirked.
"Umm..maybe." Zelena's face went several shades red.
"Okay you have a deal. But it will have to wait till after practice."
Emma's POV
Emma could feel eyes on her the entire practice and when she looked at the direction the eyes were coming from she locked eyes with Regina for just a second until Regina looked away. Emma was curious as to why the schools most popular girl was staring at her, she's just a nobody. But Emma shook it off she had to be concentrated during practice. But she'd had to follow up on it after.
After practice Emma was called to talk to the coach who just happened to be her foster dad.
"Hey Emma."
"Hey."
"So I've been talking to the team…" Emma gulped this can't be good.
"Okay…" Emma was hesitant.
David picked up on Emma's hesitancy.
"I promise you Emma it's nothing bad."
Emma breathed.
"I was talking to them and we all agree that you are our best player and we were wondering if you would want to be our captain." Emma gasped she did not expect that.
"Please don't tell me that you're kidding…"
"I'm not."
"Then I would be honored."
David gave a thumbs up to the rest of the players and they all cheered and then they all headed back to the locker room.
As Emma walked to the locker room Regina and her friends walked up to the door as well.
Emma smiled at Regina and she smiled back. Then Emma walked towards her locker.
Regina's POV
Emma had just smiled at her and Regina's heart was beating so fast. Zelena nudged her arm.
"Go talk to her!"
"Okay! Gosh you're pushy." Zelena rolled her eyes and then pushed Regina towards Emma.
"Hey." Regina said shyly.
Emma looked up at her.
"Hey you."
Regina fidgeted with her fingers obviously really nervous.
"Was it something you wanted?" Emma suddenly asked.
"Umm…yeah…do you wanna get a coffee sometime?" That question came like a surprise for Emma.
"Yeah sure."
Regina turned around to head back to Zelena.
"Are you free now?" Regina spun around and smiled.
"Yes, yes I am."
"Good." Emma smiled which made Regina's stomach to flip.
As Regina and Emma walked out of the locker room Regina looked at her sister who gave her a thumbs up.
Regina mouthed a thank you to Zelena before heading out with Emma.
Until next time :*
