That day Tegan and I had lunch after we first met, we instantly became friends. It's amazing how much our friendship grew within just a few weeks. Normally it takes me a while to make new friends but with Tegan it's like a connection on a whole new level. The more we hang out the more it's hard for me to remember what life was like without her.

People sometimes mistake us for each other too. So far three of Tegan's friends have stopped me on the street or at school and asked about my new haircut. I really don't see that big of a resemblance between us and most people seem to agree with me.

I was walking home with a bag of baked goods when I noticed Tegan's apartment was nearby.

Hmm I wonder what she's doing.

I quickly took a right and made my way to Tegan's place.

Standing in front of Tegan's door I couldn't help but feel my stomach flutter a little.

I gently knocked on her door and waited.

….and waited

I figured she wasn't home and started walking away then I heard a click and a door swing open behind me.

Tegan's head poked through the doorway and looked forward, then right, then left at me.

A silly grin broke over her face as she reached out and pulled me inside.

"Oh my god Sara hiiiiii. Listen listen I'm sorry I took so long. I got lost on my way to the door and and….do I smell cookies?!?!"

"Ha ha yeah I uh found this cute little bakery and I bough-"

"Ohh gimme gimme gimme. I'm starving!"

Tegan was now jumping up and down, arms outstretched and wiggling her fingers.

I handed her the bag and she tore it apart to get to the cookies.

As she stuffed her face I looked around her apartment, searching for what I knew must be here.

"Tegan"

"Mmph"

"Where's the weed?"

"hmf murf mmph"

Tegan swallowed her cookies and smiled.

"How did you know I had weed?"

"You're totally baked," I giggled

"That obvious huh?"

"I didn't know you smoked pot."

"Well I didn't know if you did either so I just didn't say anything…so uh…do you?"

"It's been a few years"

From her back pocket Tegan pulled out a joint and lit it. She inhaled and motioned me to go over.

I walked over and tried to mentally prepare myself.

Okay Sara you can do this. Yeah it's been a while, just remember to inhale right and you won't look like a coughing idiot.

I thought I was ready, but nothing could prepare me for what happened next.

I stepped over to Tegan and started to reach for the joint in her hand.

She grabbed my hand and wrapped her other arm my waist, pulling me into her while still holding the joint.

Her body pressing into mine made my jaw drop and she took this opportunity to lock her mouth to mine and exhale.

I sucked in the smoke that fell from her lips and when my lungs were filled I slowly stepped back and looked in her eyes.

They were red and half open.

I was speechless but still managed to take the joint from her outstretched hand.

I'm not going to over think this. She's high. She doesn't know what she did. It didn't mean anything. Fuck I hope it meant something.

I sat on the couch and tried to make sense of what I was feeling while I took another hit from the joint and before I knew it I had finished the whole thing.

I looked up and Tegan was lighting a bong and taking hits.

I joined in and soon we were giggling uncontrollably and falling over each other.

I sprawled out on the couch and Tegan stood up.

Silence

"Woah how long have I been standing here?"

"Ha ha like five minutes you dork!"

"Weirrrd"

I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a couple beers out of the fridge. I handed one to Tegan and we proceeded to drink a couple more, and a couple more, then who knows how far we went.

The more I drank, the more I wanted Tegan and by now I needed her badly.

We were on her bed playing monopoly. Somehow I was the hat and the shoe while she was a toothbrush that she grabbed from her bathroom. Apparently it was her good luck charm.

I must've been taking too long trying to figure out how much my income tax was because Tegan grabbed all the money and threw it in the air laughing and saying something about using monopoly money at a strip club.

We kicked the board off her bed and I pulled Tegan under the covers with me.

I snuggled up to her and she pulled me in closer and placed a kiss on my cheek.

I couldn't have been happier and I wished that I would remember all of it tomorrow, but for now what I needed most was sleep….and Tegan.
