Weeks after their car ride Lena and Stef didn't say much to each other. Stef was busy having a fights with Mike, what seemed like everyday and homework. She toyed with the idea of breaking up with him, but it's seemed like to much more of an ordeal than she had time for right now. Stef and Lena had a couple classes together and shared a free period. They shared a couple quick conversations at their locker and autumn came and went.
Their friendship was inevitable however and after a group project or two they considered each other good friends. Stef's friend in their free period moved and she and Lena started spending their free's together. Lena thought it was fun, she would help Stef on her math homework sometimes and Stef made her giggle constantly.
Sitting outside on a bench during their free one mild San Diego day a couple a girls neither of them really cared for approached.
" Hey Lena" a tall brunette sneered " I've been meaning to tell you I love your tumblr theme. Lena's eye widened a bit but quickly reverted back.
" Thanks..." Lena's eyes scanned the book she was reading as she spoke, the girls strutted away, brushing out in laughter before rounding the corner.
" What was that about? " Stef, who sat on the other end of the bench multiplying matrixes , asked, one eyebrow raised over the other.
" Nothing" Lena quickly commented before spending the next 5 minutes staring at her book but not reading. Stef always thought it funny how quite Lena could get after she got a bad grade or lost an argument
" I didn't know you had a tumblr " Stef pryed, trying to understand her friend's sudden sour mood.
" Yeah I don't follow people from school, I like posting whatever I want you know"
Stef nodded even thought she didn't understand, she did sense whatever that girl had said had resinated with her. Looking for a way to change the subject Stef finally found a useful application of math. " Hey how do you do this one? " Stef asked sighing and shoving the paper into the dark skinned girls lap. She smiling and listened intently to Lena explain the process in that teacher tone she always used. Half way through the explanation the final bell rang.
" If you want you can come over and I can finish explaining it " Lena offered as she pushed her books into her backpack and slung it over her shoulder.
" Yeah sure thanks!" Stef replied and followed Lena to the buses.
#%#%#%#
" No that's only the inverse , you have to multiply it by B now " Lena explained for the third time. Stef groaned and dropped her head onto Lena's comforter. "
"this is hopeless and pointless" Stef mumbled into the sheets
" How about a break? " Lena suggested before settling into her computer chair across the room. Stef pulled out her phone and Lena turn to fiddle on her desktop. Beyoncé pandora played in the background and the sound of Lena's keyboard clicking added to the noise. Stef glanced up once and noticed Lena on her tumblr.
" That is a nice theme " Stef broke their all so common silence. Lena tensed and closed out , before tuning around to smile a smile Stef could totally tell was forced.
" Ok how about some more math! "

Later that night, after texting Mike and apologizing for blowing him off after school, Stef grabbed her laptop to check out Lena's tumblr , she had quickly memorized her URL while the window was still open. It was a really cool theme, and it looked like a blog that belonged to Lena. Scrolling a little farther she spotted a black and white picture of a two girls making out which caught her off guard but was still pretty average. After awhile she realized that pictures of rainbow flags and lesbians were sprinkled across her blog. It was a little perplexing but Stef understood why Lena didn't want everyone seeing her blog. Then Stef accidentally reblogged a gif Lena had posted 3 months ago, her stomach dropped as she saw the gif appear in .com
