Willow watched Tara walk towards the cafeteria at the front of south, wishing she had parked out front and not in the parking garage. She couldn’t wait to get home so she could add this girl to msn and Facebook and get to know her. There was definitely something about the way her beautiful blonde hair – even in the ponytail – flowed down her shoulders. The blue in her eyes was the shimmering colour of the crystal blue ocean water in Bermuda. Willow loved the way Tara’s jeans gently hugged her bottom half.
Later on that evening…
“Hey Wil! I didn’t think you’d actually add me, but this is cool.” Tara said, kind of surprised to see the pop-up window when she started her messenger, alerting her of a new contact.
“Hey you, I didn’t come straight home and sign on to msn after lab just to add you, that would be crazy!” Willow flirted gently; nervous to see the kind of response Tara would give.
“Ok, before we start the whole “get to know you” deal that we agreed on in lab, I have an awkward question that’s been on my mind all day.” Why did I just say that, do I really want to know the answer?! Tara worried.
“Sure hun, go for it, ask me anything.” Ha, she sounds kind of nervous, I don’t feel so alone now! Willow chuckled to herself in her bedroom.
“Do you…um…do you have a boyfriend?” good job, you did it! Tara praised herself.
“Hehe, that’s it? That’s the question?! No boyfriend, no. You?” She’s totally trying to find out if I’m single! Willow thought excitedly.
“NO!? I mean cool, I guess. No I don’t have a boyfriend either, single as can be” Ok that definitely wasn’t as awkward as I thought it would be, Thank God! Tara was relieved, not only at the fact that Willow was laughing with her, and being so sweet and cute, but that she was SINGLE! Tara could just imagine Willow’s long red hair flowing down her back, her bangs gently sweeping across her forehead, almost hiding her bright green eyes behind them. She was so casual and comfortable, and seemed so confident. Willow wore sweats to lab, and didn’t seem to care what anyone thought. She was perfect. “So Wil, I told you I was from Clarkson, where are you from?”
“I actually live in Toronto, well Etobicoke, I live with my mom and my younger brother. It’s kind of annoying though because my mom hated my ex-girlfriend and it made it awkward, and I mean I’m old enough to have my own relationships right?” Great Willow thought, verbal diarrhea, she probably thinks I’m crazy and my family is crazy, and I just admitted that I’m gay. But maybe she’ll think girlfriend as in friend or something and not freak out Willow thought.
“I’ve been to Etobicoke! I bet you have no idea where Clarkson is; it’s kind of near school, just down the street really. I live with my parents and my younger sister. She is an absolute brat, only 13. Your ex-girlfriend eh? How long were you two together?”
“We were together for a few months, it was hell, she was terrible to me, but she had a lot of money? Is that bad, I’m not a bad person. I’m glad to be away from her though, but sometimes I feel like she’ll suck me back in. GOD, sorry I’m totally rambling about stuff you definitely don’t care about.”
“No, no! It’s perfectly ok, I had no idea you were gay! I definitely thought you had this perfect boyfriend that you lived with and hooked up with all the time and everything. I don’t know why I thought that in the middle of lab, but anyways, lol. I’m gay too, but my family doesn’t know.” This is incredible! Thought Tara, I finally fell for a girl at first sight who wasn’t straight! Tara was definitely glad that Willow couldn’t see her right now, she was sitting on her bed in a pair of old grey sweat pants and a spaghetti-strapped black tank top. The embarrassing part was that she had the biggest, dorkiest smile on her face.
“Wow, how did we manage to meet out of the 400 other random people in Chem. 101? Do you have a girlfriend?” Willow was absolutely in heaven; she couldn’t believe the situation she was in. Just then she heard her mom yell from downstairs. Damnit she thought, her mom was calling her for dinner. I should probably go downstairs before she has a hissy fit. With that, Willow quickly signed off.
“Willow has signed off”
No! I don’t have a girlfriend! Where did you go?! Why didn’t you wait for my answer?! Tara didn’t know what happened. Maybe her Internet just shut down she thought. Just then she realized how late it was and decided to go to bed. Hopefully she’d see Willow in chemistry and biology tomorrow morning; maybe they’d even sit together.
