Tyra
Julie is stubborn. It is something that Tim both admires and occasionally finds infuriating.
Her stubbornness was what led Tim to talk to Tyra—Julie wanted to know for absolute sure that their secret wouldn't be revealed—for the first time in a long time.
Upon Tim's request, Tyra meets him out on O'Dooley's farm during his lunch break. He offers Tyra half of the turkey sandwich Mrs. Coach had made for him.
They sit on the tailgate of Tim's truck, eating their halves of the sandwich. Tim figures there's no other way to do it than to just bite the bullet.
"Y'know when you saw me and Jules, I mean Julie, at the firework stand a few weeks ago?" Tim asks, looking down at the sandwich in his hands. He hadn't imagined how nervous he would be, to say it out loud.
He's thought it many times, Julie Taylor is my girlfriend. But saying it is proving to be something different all together.
"You mean when I saw you and Julie holding hands at the fireworks stand?" Tyra says with a smirk and a mischievous look in her eyes. She uses her shoulder to bump Tim's and laughs.
"I've never seen you blush. Who would have though sweet little Julie Taylor would make Tim Riggins blush?" Tyra keep laughing while Tim tries to wave her off with his hand.
Once Tyra is done laughing, she turns more serious.
"She's better than Lila, I'll give her that. Girl's got a personality, and a mind of her own."
"Jules is something else," Tim admits, smiling despite himself.
For some reason, Tyra's words of approval make Tim happy. He realizes it is because, even after it all, he considers Tyra a true friend. She is in the same league as Jason, hands down.
Tyra laughs and reaches her hand out, messing up Tim's hair like he is her kid brother or something.
"You're like a fox in the chicken coop, stealing right under the nose of the farmer. It's ballsy, Tim, I'll give you that. Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell. And I already threatened Landry. He's not gonna say anything either, not even to Matt. But, um, you should probably tell her parents before it all blows up in your face."
"Yeah, yeah," Tim says, though he doesn't want to reveal the secret just yet. He likes the privacy of having Julie to himself, without anyone else knowing.
