Author's Note; I'm on a roll, dears. I've finally found my Harvest Moon muse, Mike. I'm supposing it's because I had lost Toto somewhere along the lines, oh well. I hope you enjoy this story, it's pretty cute. I apologize ahead of time if Vaughn acts somewhat out of character.
She always felt like she was going to die whenever people looked at her.
Sabrina had always been a self-conscious girl. She had never understood why though. She never understood why people would look at her and immediately determine that she was a shy, quiet girl. Given, such assumptions would shortly be proven true upon a small conversation with the girl. It could have been because of the way she had been brought up. A short, petite girl who was modest beyond all doubts. A pair of glasses only gave more emphasis to her pure naivety. She had never understood why she cared so much. Often, she would look at the bolder girls of the islands and doubt herself immediately. Chelsea was the friendly, happy type. She was more than willing to be your friend. Even if you didn't want her to, she'd always be there. It was something Sabrina had learned about the girl. She so often visited the household, saying her hellos to Regis and then to Sabrina before giving the black haired girl some ores or something of the like.
Then there was Julia. She was bolder, more sociable than anyone else. She was pretty and well kind to really everyone. It was no wonder why Elliot had developed such a crush on the blonde girl. She was nice, even to Sabrina. When people would so often get frustrated with her quietness. It was not a strange thing. People often would leave in the middle of the conversation, annoyed with Sabrina's lack of knowledge about pop culture and current affairs. Lanna was one of them. Sabrina didn't mind the fact Lanna would so often get upset with her, as she could see why. Lanna was a pop star, gossip and anything of high end fashion was her life. Still, the fisherwoman took time to speak with Sabrina on occasion. It was hard to hate Lanna when she tried so hard to be polite.
And Natalie was the somewhat bossy, but still teasing girl of the islands. She wanted friends, she obviously did. But so did Sabrina. Natalie was the one that Sabrina could somewhat relate herself to, and she assumed that was why the red-head would talk to the bookworm frequently. It was hard to not ignore the girl. She so rarely left the mainland and barely knew of the other ladies that lived on the island or at least ones her age. She would sometimes speak to Arisa, but such a time was little to none. She often envied the other girls that frequented the mainland. They were so beautiful and amazingly polite that no one would bother with the shy, bookish type of girl that Sabrina was. And yet, Vaughn always did.
She always had that constant fluttering in her stomach, like it was going to hurt her or something like that. It would never go away when she spoke to people, or even when she was just at home reading. It was not something she was accustomed to. At first, Sabrina had assumed it was because she was hungry, but when she approached the kitchen she found the idea of food to be appalling. Especially when she had eaten only moments before. She then took it up upon herself to think that it was because she barely knew the others at all.
Vaughn often spoke to her though, and had slowly but surely become her best friend. Perhaps it was a bit strange to the others how such a gruff person like Vaughn could become friends with such a shy, reserved girl like she was. Sabrina could hardly believe it herself. For some reason, whenever she spoke to Vaughn though; that fluttering feeling grew larger, making her stammer over her words in an embarrassing manner. She could hardly believe she did that when she was around him and he'd just laugh to himself.
It was funny sometimes though.
And then one time, she told him about that fluttering feeling in her stomach. Of course, Sabrina had never spoke to him about that feeling that she felt when she spoke to him. He laughed for a moment before glancing over at the girl before snorting. "Butterflies." He said, smirking slightly. "What about b- b- butterflies?" The girl stammered, looking at him awkwardly. "That feeling you keep having. Butterflies." She laughed as he did.
