"How do you think this looks?" asked Tess who was standing in front of her mirror trying on a new outfit.
"I'm not the person you go to when it comes to fashion. You already know that." Stef chuckled as she was relaxing back on Tess' bed flipping through a magazine.
"You do have a point.. I love you but you've gotta loose the cargo pants." She shrugged and tried on something different.
Stef scoffed and grabbed Tess' pillow throwing it at her. Tess caught it and laughed before throwing it back at Stef and sitting beside her poking her sides.
"You should let me dress you sometime though because honestly, the cargo's, plaid shirts, and sports bras have got to go. You need to change it up"
"My mom says I'm perfect the way I am." The blonde spoke with her head held up high, mostly joking.
"See, she's your mom. All mom's lie to their kids. I'm your best friend and I'm telling you the truth." She gave her a smile and a hug.
Stef looked over at Tess' clock and groaned. "I've gotta head home now before my parents kill me but I'll see you at school tomorrow." She got up grabbing her book bag putting it over her shoulder.
"Yeah! Also my parents are going out of town tomorrow so that means sleep over with you and a Mr. Jack Daniels." Said the brunette with a wink. "See you tomorrow!" she called out as Stef left.
Tess and Stef were best friends, and pretty much did everything together. Little did the two know that they actually had suppressed feelings for one another but would never dare to admit it. In their era being homosexual wasn't something a lot of people agreed on. It definitely wasn't something Stef's father was for. Anyone could see that they were best friends but both were secretly hoping for a little something more.
After school the next day the two girls were just finishing up with swim practice. They were both on the swim team and were both really good, Tess was better though because she was faster. She had longer legs and a smaller body and could just move faster which made her captain of the team. "Good practice ladies! I really think we have a chance at winning the competition this year." She told all the girls while in the locker room changing. Tess walked over to Stef while in a towel with her curls resting on her shoulders. "So I was thinking we could order Chinese food. That's okay with you right?"
Stef didn't answer right away because she was too busy staring at Tess' long, beautiful legs.
"Stef? Hello?" she stooped down a little looking at her. Stef jumped slightly and nodded. "Oh yeah.. That's fine with me." She gave her a smile and Tess went off to get dressed.
Stef was wondering how long she could hide these feelings for her best friend, because they were hitting her fast.
