Summary- Basically Willow and Tara in high school and are both 16. Willow meets Tara in an unexpected place and they help each other discover more about each other whilst dealing with the normal angst and learning that comes with high school.
Chapter 1
“Miss Summers!”
“MISS SUMMERS!!”
“Can someone please give that girl a nudge?”
Willow reached over and gave Buffy a quick poke in the ribs.
Buffy jumped up surprised and turned to face Willow who had a worried expression on her face. Willow pointed towards the front of the class where Mr. Snyder had his hands on his hips practically sending death rays towards Buffy.
Buffy gulped and said quietly “Yes Sir?”
“Miss Summers do you find looking out the window more fascinating than my classes?” Snyder asked.
“No sir” Buffy mumbled
“Perhaps you would be less distracted if I told you that your mother will be contacted about your increasing lack of concentration in my classes and your falling grades,” Snyder explained with a slight twisted smile on his lips.
“Please sir, anything but that, please, she is under enough pressure as it is at the moment, please sir anything but that,” Buffy pleaded with tears starting to make their way to her eyes.
“Miss Summers I fear that it is the only way to get through to someone like yourself, now go and stand outside the door for the remainder of my class so I do not have to look at you and know that I am competing with a piece of wood and a glass pane,”
“Yes sir” Buffy whimpered and headed out the door.
Willow, who had been sitting quietly throughout this time had been getting angrier and angrier by the second, did something that she had never done in her 11 years of being a student. She stood up and rebelled.
“HOW CAN YOU BE SO HEARTLESS!” Willow yelled.
“I beg your pardon Miss Rosenberg?” Snyder questioned
“You heard what I said, you know you would be distracted too if your family was in the middle of having a crisis. You even know the situation and you still treat her like that. You’re just a….just a cold, snakey, insecure little man who just tries to put anyone down that he can” Willow spoke with venom.
“That is quite enough Miss Rosenburg, I am surprised at your unruley behaviour. I guess Miss Summers has been a bad influence on you. Well that little outburst just cost you 3 days detention,” Snyder exclaimed.
“It was worth it,” Willow hissed.
“Make that a week! Now if I can get back to what I was talking about before that disruption………”
Willow let out a sigh of relief when the bell rang, she had been shaking through the whole lesson. She had never done anything like that before and although still glad that she had, still could not help but feel a little uncomfortable about breaking the rules and yelling at a teacher during class.
Willow met up with Buffy outside who still had a worried and distracted look on her face.
“Hey Buff”
“Hey Wills, you don’t think he is serious do you, I mean you know since Dad up a left things have been emotionally haywire at the Summers Residence lately. I just don’t know how she would take another blow!”
“I wouldn’t worry about Snyder I think he is just doing it to stir you up. You know what he’s like. Man you should have seen the look on his face when I told him he was a cold, snakey, insecure little man, you would have loved that” Willow giggled.
“Wait Willow, you WHAT!”
“Well I kinda yelled at him asking him how he could be so heartless and then called him a cold, snakey, insecure little man, which has now landed me in detention for a week, but it was SO worth it” Willow exclaimed.
Buffy who was getting all teary asked “You…..You did that for me?”
“Of course,” Willow said “That’s what best friend’s are for”
“Thanks Will you’re the greatest.
Chapter 2
Willow was slightly nervous. She had never been to detention before. She was a good girl, she never did anything that would be considered naughty in anyway shape or form. As she walked up to the library where the detention was being held, she took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. She was relieved to find that Mr Giles was taking the detention. He was fairly new but was very kind. He had let her borrow lots of the new books that he had bought with him from England. Even letting her borrow over the specified book limit.
As she walked into the room he looked up and said “Willow! I was surprised to see your name on the detention list, you seem to be quite the studious type”
She blushed slightly and said “I had a little disagreement with Mr Snyder on something but I can assure you that this is not a regular occurrence. Actually this is my first time in detention. And you’re right I would like to think that I am quite studious, I mean I always get my homework done on time and I never talk in class. Well I mean except when I am answering a question, I mean I don’t know sign language so I kinda don’t have any other choice do I. Well I mean I could learn si….”
“Willow!” Giles interrupted and slightly coughed “That is all very well but if you wouldn’t mind joining the others at the table you can take out some homework and work on it until the time is up,”
“Oh yes sorry, OK sure” Willow said, embarrassed that she had started babbling.
Willow for the first time looked over to the table where 3 people were already seated. The first two Willow immediately recognised as two regular trouble makers, who were at the moment flinging things at each other. Rolling her eyes she focused on the third person who she had never seen before. It was a girl. She had long blond hair which flowed to half way down her back. She could not make out her face as her hair was acting like a curtain obscuring Willow’s vision to whatever lay beyond. She was dressed in black hipster bell bottom pants, black leather boots and a lacy beige three quarter top. Willow felt a weird feeling shoot through her stomach as she gazed at the young women, which she chose to ignore as she made her way over to the table.
She took a seat next to the young women and started to take her books out of her bag.
When she put her books on the table it made a slight banging noise, which startled the girl next to her who had been engrossed in a book. The blond turned and looked at Willow who she had not realised had taken a seat next to her. Willow did not think that she had ever seen a blue quite that shade before, it was the most amazing blue she had ever seen. It was like she was seeing a new colour for the first time that uniquely belonged to this girl. When she realised that she had been staring words started to tumble out of her mouth before she could stop.
“Hello, I’m Willow. Well you might have already known that if you were listening to the conversation that Mr Giles and I were having, which actually you obviously weren’t cause I startled you when I came over here. Oh! By the way I am really sorry about that. You know the startling, especially when you were being all studious and studying, which I am still distracting you from. I am a very bad person and will stop distracting you now. Sorry” Quickly Willow took a breath and grabbed a book not bothering to look up, thinking she had just made the biggest idiot out of herself.
Then she heard the girl say something very quietly.
Willow turned her head and said “Sorry?”
The girl looked down shyly and stuttered “I’m T-ttara”
“Oh, well it’s nice to meet you Tara, I am sorry about that I tend to babble and go off in tangents”
“That’s OK, I quite liked it, it’s the mmmost anyone has said to mmme here so ffar” she looked down sadly.
“Well I am glad you like my babbling most people just want to knock me unconscious when I start” Willow giggled “You’re new here?”
“Yes, I started here tttwo days ago”
“How come you’re in detention then, cause you definitely do not seem like the type?” Willow questioned.
“Wwwell mmy nnew science teacher MMr SSSnider said I was not wwwearing practical enough shoes fffor the science lab aaand that I wwould rremember next time by ggiving me tthree ddays of ddetention,” Tara stammered.
“God he is such a weasel what I wouldn’t give to have three minutes alone with him, well if I actually had muscles and my best threat wasn’t to pull his hair. Which would be quite painful through” Willow contemplated before both girls started to giggle.
“What shoes were you wearing?”
“SSandles” Tara exclaimed.
“Jeez doesn’t he know that beautiful feet like yours need the comfort of sandals and do not need to be weighed down by steel capped boots” Willow laughed but then stopped when she saw that Tara wasn’t and that she was blushing and hiding behind her hair.
“Did I say something wrong I mean I am sorry if I did my foot tends to live in my mouth” Willow apologised.
Tara looked up and said “No you didn’t say anything wrong I was just wondering how you knew that my feet were beautiful”. She smiled shyly at Willow before hiding behind her hair once again.
It was Willow’s turn to blush now thinking why DID I say that, I mean it’s not like I know her or anything. Though I feel like I do know that she would have cute little feet tucked away in those big boots. WAIT! WHAT! Stop that this instant you just met this girl and you are telling her that she has pretty feet, let alone the fact that it is pretty weird to be saying that to a girl. And stop thinking in your head and say something before she thinks that you’re an even bigger freak.
“Uh um well, I obviously don’t know from personal experience as from actually looking at you feet, which would probably be pretty weird if I had already looked at your feet cause I have only just met you. But my assumption is based on the fact that you seem like a really nice person so far so naturally from that I assumed that you had nice feet. But then again my assumptions could be wrong and you could have horrible feet, that is not saying that you do and I don’t think that you would and I really shouldn’t assume things cause you know assuming would make an ass out of u and me,” Willow then hears Tara start to laugh “And now your laughing at me which is a good thing cause I don’t want you to be mad at me cause I am sure that you do have lovely looking feet I just haven’t seen them yet. Not that I am some stalker person who checks out people’s feet. I would like to think that I am a nice, normal and stable p….”
“Willow please I don’t ask much of my students during detention, just for them to sit and do their work, now please will you get on with you studies?” Mr Giles interrupted.
“Yes sir I’m sorry” Willow exclaimed.
Both Willow and Tara continued from then on with their studies until the end of detention. Willow kept thinking that she felt Tara’s gaze on her while she studied but for some reason she was too nervous to look.
When detention ended Willow and Tara went to go their separate ways. They had agreed to meet half an hour before school started so that Willow could give her a proper tour of the school and also show Tara where to meet her for lunch. As Willow watched Tara walk away she couldn’t help but think that in some way her life had changed today, she just didn’t know how much.

BWR 
Hahaha! Looking Forward To The Next Update
. So cute. Love sam xx 
. I am sure that Willow will get to know Tara's feet and Tara herself in the future. Well hopefully she gets to know Tara too and not just her feet cause that would be kind of weird 
. Anyways before I go off on some weird tangent thanks for the feedback
. Lots of people enjoyed the babble fest which is good cause there will probably be more to come.
Not sure why i added the banana but it seemed really cute
. Love sam xx 
Sorry I just can't help myself I am surrounded by very cute emoticons
Stupid Radio Interrupting it!!
It's Funny How The Bubble Gum Commercial Kinda Fit In There Hahahah!!
Anyways Great Update And Can't Wait For More!! 
. I'm glad that you enjoyed the moments between Tara and her mum, my mum is a lot like her so it was pretty easy to write. Wait until you meet Willow's mum though she is a bit different in her approach. Isn't it weird how you spell mum mom and I spell it mum. I find it funny how some spelling is a little different between America and Australia. It's like one wanted and o and one wanted a u and they couldn't decide so they both went their separate ways. Sorry I am going on but it is kinda cute. Speaking of cute how could you miss the cow
