Willow sat in the sun on the grass, eating her lunch. She looked around the school and saw people laughing and having fun with each other.
She was happy for some reason, maybe it’s because Tara, she thought.
She always liked girls. But she was always to shy to talk to one. But with Tara everything seems to be normal, no stuttering no awkwardness, only Tara stuttered sometimes, but she didn’t care.
They were having a really good time at the biology class today, she got to know Tara a little bit better. Tara was not so bad as Snyder said. She was sweet and kind, and very shy sometimes. Snyder warned her for Tara, he said she should watch out for her and Faith, saying that they were THE 2 bad girls at the school.
Fist she believed it, but when she got to know Tara better, she realised she was wrong. She didn’t know anything about Faith though, Tara did introduced her to Faith, they talked little but that was it.
“ Hey eating lunch by yourself I see? Fancy a company? “ Willow looked up and saw Tara standing in front of her. Suddenly it was as if she woke up from her daydream. What a coincidence this is, she thought by herself. She felt a little weird before, when thinking of Tara and now she’s here, wanting to have lunch with her. Who would have thought that! Willow felt extremely happy. “ sure, why not “ she said with a big grin on her face. She was happy to see the blonde again. Tara sat down next to Willow, and started to open her brown lunch bag that she had in her hands. “ So do you like it here in sunnydale high?“ Tara asked while looking at her sandwich. “ Yeah, I do … there are some really nice people here, but I haven’t made any friends yet though, “ the redhead said a bit sadly. “What do you mean? You’ve got me as your friend?“ Tara said a bit to loud. Willow felt all jumpy inside. She got Tara as her friend? Did the girl really say that? WOW! She didn’t know for sure. It was the thing Snyder said, that was giving her doubts about all this. What was it with the bad-girl-thing he was talking about? “ Uhm really? “ the redhead asked feeling suddenly very shy. Why did she ask that? She suddenly felt very vulnerable because of what she just said to Tara... Willow Rosenberg, not having any friends. Why did she said that!
Willow was pleased to hear Tara’s voice again and started to calm down a little
“Yeah sure why not? I mean you’re funny and very nice and stuff “ the blonde said blushing as she did so. Willow didn’t know what to say so she just smiled at the cute blonde. The blonde smiled back and continued to eat her lunch and so did Willow. Suddenly Tara asked: “So, do a pretty gal like you have a boyfriend? Or something? “
Willow was all feeling overwhelmed by her question and the thing she said. Tara thought I’m pretty? Jeez what’s with her eyes. Me all freckled and redhaired Willow. Nothing to call pretty that’s for sure. How on earth was she going to handle this. She barely know the girl, she couldn’t just say she’s not so much into boys... Tara would instantly walk away. Willow’s mind started to babble.
“Uhm no, not really“, Willow said feeling uncomfortable.
“Why not? I bet the guys are lining up for you? “ Tara said a bit surprised that Willow didn’t have a boyfriend, but on the other hand, she was glad cause it mean that she could have a change with Willow.
Willow was turning even redder then she did before. What should she tell this girl. Willow had noticed a grin on Tara’s face when she said she didn’t have a boyfriend. It was almost as if Tara was happy Willow hadn’t.
Willow needed to find out if she could trust this girl. She decided she could only find out if she could trust Tara by telling her the truth. Friends had left her before when they found out about the gay side of Willow. So Willow thought that before this friendship became any bigger, she needed to tell Tara the truth about herself. If the girl was freaking out, she would know.
Willow looked at the ground to insecure to tell it to Tara in her face.
“Well, let’s just say that I don’t really like boys “ Willow said honest.
“You don’t? “ Tara almost shouted. It felt like a big ball of relieve exploded inside her. The girl did like girls! The most pretty girl she has ever seen before likes girls, just like her! She noticed the way she was talking. She was almost shouting because of her relieve. She realised this wasn’t making things better. Willow must think she is freaked.
Willow collapsed at Tara’s words. There you go Willow, great job, you freaked out the girl. How can you be so stupid! All her insecurities came out. She wanted to know why Tara asked. Of course tomorrow the whole school will know all about her. She needed to ask Tara why she asked that.
“No, not really…why did ya asked? “ Willow asked. She was still looking down.
“U..u..hm .. yeah w..w..well, just w..w..ondering you know .. cause uhm w..w..ell… “ the blonde said feeling more then a bit nervous. *just ask her, it’s not like it’s the first time you asked a girl out?!*
“You what? “ the redhead asked curious. Why was Tara stuttering again? Was she really that freaked? Willow knew the girl wasn’t freaked. She could tell by the blush on Tara’s face that was growing bigger.
“Uhm w..w..w..ell, I w..w..was wondering, well if we... if I... if you’d...like to go out w..w..with me tomorrow night to the bronze? “ Tara asked the redhead while keeping her head down. She was so ashamed she couldn’t get the words out. What’s with that constant stuttering when Willow is around?
Willow’s eyes widened. The girl asked her out. She really did. She likes me. I like her! She felt extremely seductive.
“Are you asking me out miss Maclay? “ the redhead smirked while asking the question.
“Well, that’s for you to decide, if you want it to be a date then it’s a date but if you don’t then we’ll go like friends. “ Tara said a bit shy. Every nerve in her system was hoping the girl would say yes. She couldn’t look at Willow, still staring at the grass beneath her.
Willow noticed the uncomfortable state Tara was in. It was like as if she could feel her emotions. She decided the game was off now before Tara was collapsing.
“I’d love to go out with you tomorrow night “ Willow said smiling.
“Wow! Did she just said yes? Yes, she said yes!! Woohoo!”
Tara thought in her head, she was so happy Willow said yes, that she almost stood up to do the happy snoopy dance!
“W-well t-that’s great, I’ll pick you up at … say uhm … 8 o’clock? “ Tara stuttered, she tried to ignore it but the stutter keep bugging her, constantly when she was around Willow.
“ sure, 8 is good … “ Willow said feeling extremely happy. She knew that Tara was into her but and to be honest, she was into Tara to… she never thought she would meet someone like Tara, sure Tara looked a bit rough and wild, but when you get to know her, you’ll know better. All the looking rough is a cover for her shy nature. She now knew she could trust Tara.
“ well okay, it’s on … I have to go looking for Faith now. We have to go to history and Faith really needs to be there or she’ll be .. uhm … history “ Tara joked.
It took Willow a while before getting the lame joke Tara made but when she get it she started to giggle.
“Well, uhm .. go get Faith then, we don’t want her to be history now don’t we? “ the redhead said.
“Yeah, I’ll talk to you later, if not then I’ll your call your house number that you gave me. Bye Willow!“, the blond said kindly.
“Bye Tara!“ With that Willow watched Tara walking away from her to get Faith, who came trough the twin doors of the school, obviously looking for Tara.
She felt down on her back into the soft grass. She was a happy girl right now, she had a real date with Tara tomorrow. She could trust Tara. Tara liked her. She just couldn’t believe it. How could she ever have thought Tara was fooling around with her, just to be miss populair.
There were some students walking by, which reminded Willow, she really needed to go to class. She stood up and threw the leftovers from her lunch in the trash can. She begun walking inside the school, to go to her computer class, she should be nervous for her first computer class but all she was thinking about was, what she was going to wear tomorrow at the date ….
