Chapter Text
It had only been two days into spring break and you were already losing your mind. Fight club had been taking up all your time, and now that it was break and half the girls were on vacation, you didn't know what to do with yourself. So far, you'd spent the day mindlessly scrolling on your phone and halfheartedly doing some math homework. Your phone had remained dry all day, and you were starting to feel like a major loser.
You repeatedly checked your phone to see if anyone from fight club had texted you, but, to be fair, you weren't all that close with them anyway. You had only joined the club at the start of the month, when it was clear to you that the Huntington players were an actual threat. The fact that it was an all girls club chock-full of lesbians was only an added bonus.
Okay, fine. You were also desperate for queer friends. At your old school, you had come out as a lesbian and all your friends were suddenly busy every weekend. People iced you out, and your parents noticed the crying after school and the weekends spent alone in your room. They moved you to Rockbridge Falls mid-way through the year and crossed their fingers.
To be honest, you did too. It sucked to start a new school in March, but you'd rather awkwardness than the constant gossiping and leering. And you really wanted to find at least one lesbian that you could bond with.
Your gaydar was pretty good, and so you knew that Josie, PJ, and Hazel were definite lesbians. However, you hadn't really gotten close with any of them in the short amount of time you'd had so far. PJ and Josie were established lifelong best friends, and Hazel....
Hazel. Also, you were scared to talk to her due to your intense crush on her. Every time you interacted (which amounted to maybe five times, if you're being generous), you ended up saying the driest, most unlike-you thing ever because you were so attracted to her. She was always really sweet to you, even when she punched you in the face. (God, it was hot when she did that.)
You put your headphones on and starting listening to some music to daydream about Hazel for a bit, when your phone dinged.
Message from: Hazel :)
hey! sorry this is kind of last minute but would u want to come to this music festival with me, PJ, and josie tonight?
Your phone dinged again. PJ scored four tickets and i thought you might want to come bc clairo is performing :):) lmk!
Your heart almost fell out of your chest as you frantically texted her back. omfggg YES!!!! She wrote back quickly. yay!! it's like 30 min away so Josie's driving us. we'll pick you up at 7! You pinched your finger hard to ensure that this wasn't a dream. see u then! so excited!
Ugh, was that too eager? You began to spiral over your reply. Should I have even said that? It makes me look so dumb-
Your spiraling was cut short when Hazel wrote back: me too, you're the first person we all wanted to invite
You were about to love the message when she wrote another. especially me :)
ESPECIALLY ME? WHAT THE FUCK!!! You giggled and loved both messages.
Now you just had to figure out what to wear.
