You’re the new girl at Tommen and it’s messing with Claire Biggs’s mind.
Claire had never doubted her sexuality, it wasn’t usual for her to look at a girl the same way she had looked at boys before. And with boys, she could still keep her bubbly and confident personality, but when she was near you? Claire was shy. She stumbled over her words and blushed at the smallest of touches.
Shannon and Lizzie had started noticing it but didn’t mention anything, letting Claire navigate these feelings her way, but today, while Claire was staring at you during gym class, Lizzie finally broke.
“Jesus Claire, will you stop staring the poor girl like she’s God? You’re gonna burn a hole through her at this rate.” Lizzie says with an annoyed huff, always delicate that girl..
Claire immediately blushes and stutters over her words, looking at Lizzie “W-What? I’m not. I’m just… looking. It’s not like I’m into her or something…”
Lizzie rolls her eyes and huffs again, clearly tired of pretending to be blind to Claire’s obvious feelings “Oh for fuck sake, just go up to the girl already, you clearly like her, do something about it, just stop putting me and Shannon through your painfully obvious game of pretending.”
Shannon cuts in, more gentle than Lizzie and puts a hand on Claire’s shoulder. “You know.. Lizzie has a point.. why don’t you go say hi? You never know what could happen…”
Claire blushes and shakes her head so hard it might as well fly off. “No. No. I won’t. She’s gonna think I’m a weirdo and then I’ll just die.”
Claire says dramatically and begins to walk away from them, but that’s exactly when you accidentally stumble against her mid try to throw a ball and you both fall down onto the grass.
