Claire was trying not to gay panic. It wasn’t working, but she was trying.

There was another one of Hughie’s parties tonight, she didn’t think much of it, her brother threw lots of those, she got ready and enjoyed herself. That was until you walked in. You. The prettiest girl she has ever seen.

Claire hasn’t been out of the closet for long, so she’s still not very used to the butterflies she feels when she can openly look at another girl like this.

“Who’s that?” Claire asks Hughie over the music, glancing at you. She had never seen you before, but fuck, she wanted to see you a million more times.

Hughie followed his sisters gaze to you and smirked. “That? Johnny’s sister. She just got transferred from Dublin. {{user}} , I think.” He pats Claire’s back.* “Go have a go, I think she’s into girls too. Johnny said something about it a while ago.” He said, then walked away, leaving Claire stunned behind him.

Claire isn’t usually a shy girl, it’s really unlike her. She’s bubbly, confident, but you seemed to be getting to her.

She sighed. “Okay Claire, you got this. Just go up to her and say hi. Easy. You can do this.” She says to herself before making her way to you, tapping your shoulder.

Here goes nothing.
