Heidi was standing at her locker, unloading her books for classes. She was stressing out over a few things in her head, including some assignments that were piling up now that it was the end of the school year and who she would be going to prom with. She didn't know it yet, but by the end of the day, Wendy was going to solve both of those problems for her.
Wendy approached Heidi at her locker.
"Hey Heidi," Wendy said, getting her friend's attention.
"Oh, hey Wendy what do you need?" Heidi asked.
"Well, maybe you'd like some help with homework tonight?" Wendy asked, "I see you've been stressing out a lot about it lately, especially that thousand word essay we have to write for English."
"Yeah, thankfully it's the last one of the year though," Heidi replied, "And sure, I'd love some help, can I come over to your house tonight after dinner?"
"Sounds great!" Wendy said, trying not to show her excitement. There was something she was really dying to ask Heidi.
….
Heidi walked over to Wendy's house that night after dinner, bringing over the books and papers she needed to finish her homework. When she knocked on the door, Wendy's mother answered and let her in, telling her that Wendy was up in her room.
"Hey, Wendy!" Heidi greeted her cheerfully as she opened the door and sat her things down on Wendy's bed. Heidi took her seat on the edge of Wendy's bed next to Wendy, who was already busy studying.
"Oh, hi," Wendy said unusually quietly.
"Where are Bebe and Red?" Heidi asked, as it was usually the four of them that hung out together, although occasionally it was only two or three of the group.
"Oh, um…" Wendy stuttered, searching for an answer.
"It's okay if you didn't invite them Wendy, it's not like they're gonna be mad. We're just doing homework."
"Well, no I didn't and it's because… I need to be alone to ask you something."
"Okay, go ahead and shoot," Heidi responded, shifting herself to face her friend, sitting cross-legged on her bed.
"Well, have you found anyone to go to prom with yet, Heidi?" Wendy asked.
"No, it kinda sucks," Heidi frowned.
"Well, would you maybe… Go with me?" Wendy asked and then quickly continued before Heidi could reply, "I know we're just friends, but I don't have anyone to go with. I know you might feel uncomfortable that I'm asking you this since I'm bi and we're just supposed to be friends, but I'm not trying to make things weird. I know you're straight."
"You don't have to explain yourself like that, Wendy, I'll go with you," Heidi replied putting her hand on top of Wendy's, "Then neither of us has to be lonely, at least."
Heidi felt excited. Did this mean Wendy had feelings for her but wasn't going to tell her because she thought Heidi was straight? Heidi was too afraid to tell Wendy that she liked her in case this was not the case.
After that the two of them decided not to talk much about it again and worked on their homework.
….
After Heidi and Wendy went to prom together…
Heidi and Wendy left prom early (but still after the sun had set) because Wendy wanted to go outside and look at the stars and the city together with her friend. Bebe and Red were planning on staying another hour or so with their dates, Clyde and Kevin, respectively. Then after they left, they would find Heidi and Wendy and the six of them were all going to have dinner together. That was the plan.
South Park High was on top of a hill and Wendy had parked her car on a spot that overlooked a large part of the town. Wendy and Heidi were now lying on top of her car, gazing up at the night sky. South Park was a small enough town with a low enough light pollution that it was easy to see quite a few stars in the sky at night.
Wendy sighed and turned on her side to face Heidi.
"Heidi, I'm sorry I made you go to prom with me…" Wendy said.
"Why?" Heidi asked confused.
"Now everyone's going to be wondering if you're gay or bi or with me or something and I hate being responsible if rumors get spread about you," Wendy explained.
"Wendy, calm down, I don't care what people think." That was sort of a lie, Heidi was insecure about what people thought of her, but making Wendy happy mattered more to her.
"Don't worry about it," Heidi said, "I had a great time tonight. And besides… I do kind of… like you."
"Really?" Wendy asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Do you like me too?" Heidi asked with uncertainty.
"Well… yes," Wendy said, "That's why I asked you. I thought you were straight, but I've kind of fallen for you over the years and I just wanted a night to pretend."
"I am straight," Heidi began, "For everyone but you."
"I love you," Wendy said with a tear running down her cheek. She leaned in to kiss Heidi and Heidi accepted.
"I never thought you would feel the same way about me," Heidi explained after they had pulled away, "I'm not the most attractive person in the world. Certainly not as attractive as you."
"Now why do you say that?" Wendy asked sympathetically.
"Well, I don't have beautiful hair like you and I've got just an average face," Heidi explained, "In addition to being a little fat…"
"First of all, I love your hair Heidi," Wendy said running her fingers through it, "It goes so well with your pretty face and it doesn't take nearly as much work to keep your hair naturally beautiful as it does mine. Plus it really brings out those wonderful hazel eyes of yours." Wendy gently caressed Heidi's cheek as her hand came down from feeling her hair.
"And you're not fat Heidi, you're the just the way I like a woman to be," Wendy smiled and gave Heidi a playful poke in the belly, causing her to giggle and blush, "I always thought you were hot, Heidi. I don't want to get too explicit here, but you've got nice legs, a nice butt, and good size up top. You have no idea how bad I've wanted to cuddle up with you."
"Then let's cuddle right now," Heidi suggested.
Wendy and Heidi embraced each other and Wendy nuzzled her head against Heidi's shoulder and let out a relaxed sigh.
"I can't wait until we get to do this naked," Wendy said softly.
"Slow down there Wendy," Heidi laughed lightly, "Not in a public place."
"I know, I just love you so much right now, Heidi," Wendy said, embracing Heidi even tighter.
"I love you too."
They laid there for a while, looking up at the stars and cuddling each other. After twenty or thirty minutes, they heard the footsteps of four people approaching them.
"What the hell is going on here?" Bebe's voice asked. She was standing next to Clyde.
Wendy and Heidi sat up and Wendy took Heidi's hand and said "We're together now. It turns out we like each other and we didn't just go together tonight as friends."
"Awww, that's great," Red said supportively, "But I am pretty damn hungry, so why don't you two lovebirds get off the car and get into it so we can all go get some dinner together?"
Wendy and Heidi got into the driver's and passenger's seat respectively and Bebe, Clyde, Red, and Kevin all squeezed into the back seat of the car before they drove off to get some much needed dinner.
The End
