chapter 4!!!



Amber could barely sleep, even though she was texting tara most of the night she was worried about what to wear, and what to do, what to say. Amber jumped of her dorm bed and went to her closet suddenly rummaging through it. The thing was amber hadn’t actually gone on a real date since she was 16. Amber was okay with being alone. She didn’t have a big interest for dating. I mean yea she would hang around girls and party but it wasn’t actually dating. She would be one of those people who would be around a girl sometimes and they would sleep together, and make out, but she wouldn’t call it her girlfriend or make it official. She also wouldn’t really take them on dates she’d just call them sometimes and hang around their place. She felt bad sometimes when a girl would call and ask if she wanted to go on a date and she would decline.
After a few minutes she realized she might have been overeating a little. Well…maybe not a little considering the giant pile of clothes on the floor. “Shit” she muttered to herself she’s gonna have to clean this up later she completely forgot about her classes tomorrow. Amber went back to her bed but she definitely didn’t fall asleep without a million twists and turns.
When the morning finally came and Amber had to get ready for her class she quite literally jumped up. It was 7:22. Fuck amber thought. She had a timer but she slept through it. Her first class started at 8:10 and even worse for her tara was in that class. Immediately she grabbed some random gray hoodie and black jeans.
After she had showered, brushed her teeth, and brushed her hair (to the best she could with her little time). She was a little upset she didn’t have time to do any makeup but she also wasn’t a big makeup wearer so it wasn’t her main issue. The issue was she doesn’t want to give tara a sloppy impression. She grabbed a granola bar and almost started running to her class making it in the nick of time at 8:08. Pretty much everyone was already there so she just found a seat in the back. And then she saw her.
Amber saw tara looking so effortlessly beautiful. With her hair out and a few strands braided tied back, her dark big eyes, and her brown stripped sweater she had on with baggy blue jeans. Suddenly she turned and looked at amber smiling right at her. Amber turned her head. For once she felt like she was underdressed and needed to impress someone.
A notification made ambers phone vibrate.
tara01🤍• i see you stop hiding
Amber smirked a little.
tara01🤍 • i saw that :)
Amber looked up and locked eyes with her. It was so sweet to her weirdly. This girl was making her smile at the smallest things. It was just a message from a girl. That’s not new to amber. So what was. Tara? or a strange feeling.
ambsxx5 • stalker
She was actually quite good at her class. It was a seminar and she’s really good at thinking of ideas and she knows what her stance is always. Just sometimes she doesn’t know if she should open her mouth and say anything. Of course she did it’s a seminar it’s just she was worried. What if she says something kinda weird or nerdy and everyone makes fun of her?
I mean it’s college who cares right?
She honestly barely gave a fuck what people thought. But if she was gonna change from “girl who threw a party n slept w people there every other weekend” she didn’t want to go to ‘weirdo who used to be liked’. But she knew tara was okay with it so maybe she would impress her…by being
herself?
Amber got out of her overwhelming thoughts to actually do something in the class.
After it was over Tara was heading over to amber and she was frozen.
“Hi amber” Tara said simple, short, sweet and holy shit was she over analyzing a hi?
“hi tara…what did you think of our class? Because you’re like new…but that doesn’t mean that you’ve never had a class like this before you probably have- did you?” Tara looks up at amber and smiles “the class was good amber”, she says softly. Maybe amber just needed to calm down she’s never had any trouble at all with girls before.
“i was gonna go back to my dorm to change, to meet .. well you.” Amber scratched her head and looked away. It was obvious she was nervous. But tara thought she was cute.
Tara (like Amber) didn’t have trouble with finding people interested in her. The trouble was finding people that were honest and wanted her for her.
ironic right?
She heard some of the stuff about amber but after talking to her she really just seemed genuine, shy maybe? There was something she wasn’t showing and tara knew it. She got a little mad at herself for not being more cautious.
Tara let out a fake gasp. “To meet me??”
“Can you believe it?” Amber chuckled and they started walking together. “where are you headed ?” Amber asked “biology” “let me walk you.. i don’t have a class for like another hour and half”. Tara glanced at the path they were on. “Sure why not”.
The walk was mainly silent. If they were completely honest neither of them knew what to say. “I don’t think i ever asked you why you moved”. Amber blurted looking straight at tara now, but tara wasn’t really speaking or looking at her. Oh no. Had she fucked up? Was she not supposed to ask that? Was it really that bad?
“i’m sorry-“ Amber started but was interrupted “My moms a drunk, well our mom it’s me and my sister. It’s not that touchy but our dad left when we were younger. Where we were there was just a lot going on and we moved to get away from that. My sister very protective” Tara smiled “but she’s amazing i appreciate it”.
Amber kept walking. She stayed silent for at least a minute. She wasn’t sure what to say.
“i-i’m sorry for asking i don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable”. Amber cared. It was clear. Tara could tell too even if Amber couldn’t yet. “It’s okay” Tara smiled and touched Ambers arm. “It’s just a question and you can’t know what i’m going to say anyway, And i like new york so far it’s beautiful.”
They kept walking in silence until they reached Tara’s class. “Thank you” Tara said “No problem.” it was nice, you’re nice, i like your eyes and your voice. Amber wanted to say but instead she just looked away, Tara has the most beautiful big brown eyes.
After she dropped her off she speeded back to her room. She had to grab a few things for her class and change into something nicer.
Amber got back to her room and dropped her bag of she realized she hadn’t really planed or told tara where they should go. Ambers simple though. A walk outside would be nice even if it was a little cold. So she grabbed her stuff and went to shower. Amber likes cold showers. They keep her alert, well maybe not alert but the feeling of cold water down her back was something she loved. Sometimes showers were times where she would reset. Calm down. And that she did.
After amber got out brushed her hair and did her makeup she decided to change into a pretty casual outfit. A black jacket on top of a red spaghetti strap and some wide legged blue jeans. She thought it was nice. Not perfect for the weather but nice. After her next class she would go get lunch and then meet up with tara for there date and she prayed it would go well.

chapter 2!



The morning after the party was decent for Amber
She didn’t drink much last night so she wasn’t really hung over or anything (for the first time in a while). She also realized she could probably learn more about tara today considering Liv would be able to form a coherent sentence, and she didn’t have any classes today.
Still you’d probably she her studying but people still think she’s scary and big and mean. She thought it was so weird cause she was just like any other student there.
Amber thought about sending tara a dm but she really wouldn’t know what to say. Truth is Amber kinda nervous. She doesn’t want to seem like she’s trying to hook up or something.
After getting a shower amber gets dressed in baggy blue jeans, a white shirt, and her green flannel over it she slips on her shoes and grabs her backpack and walks out the dorm. She found a desk and started working . Amber was decently smart in general but average in school she was maybe a c-b+ averaging student. She tried to care about her education it was just hard for her sometimes.
suddenly she heard a voice behind her “hey Amber!” it was Liv walking over to her. “hi Liv”. The bubbly girl pulled up a chair and sat next to her. She stared on and in about the drama with her and chad and even though amber felt a little bad for not listening she couldn’t care less. “He’s so
stupid, like just cause your a star on the football team your not hot shit in my eyes like act normal please. you know what i mean?” “uh huh” Amber really wasn’t paying attention now. “Ambs” Liv snaps.
“Im sorry it just seems like you guys just have a lot” Amber sighed “well you know how it is with us” Liv stops her rant.
“What’s wrong?” Liv asks she call tell ambers kinda off. “Liv what do you know about Tara Carpenter ?” Amber wanted to try and listen to Liv but she couldn’t stop thinking about last night. “Oh yea i remember you asking me last night” Liv’s shit eating grin made amber want to walk away at that moment. “She just moved here with her older sister Sam. i talked to her a few days ago she’s really nice”. Amber thought that’s mainly what Liv said last night..but wait she said she had a sister. “A sister?”, Amber was kinda curious about that even though it wasn’t really big information. “Yea she lives with her off campus in their apartment with Quinn”.
Amber knew her. Quinn. Shes Ethan’s sister. Ethan is chads best friend they’re both dorks (in Ambers opinion) but Ethan is more bearable. She hadn’t personally met quinn but Ethan had talked about her and posted photos with her. “Quinn? like Ethan’s sister Quinn?” Amber wanted to make sure she was thinking of the right person. “It’s a small world huh?” It was a weird coincidence to her but it could get her closer to Tara. “So do you think i should dm her, we talked last night and maybe i could be her friend” Amber told Liv about what she was pondering. She didn’t think she could be friends with her. Tara looked like a really sweet girl Amber didn’t want to be a dick to the new girl.
She didn’t want to be as bad as she used to be. Being known in high school for throwing ragers in her parent’s huge house. sometimes hooking up with people at said ragers. Being rude to people and kinda a jerk. It was particularly because she got roped in with the popular kids. She started being around them. But only in school. And never did she really care about their drama.
She just had a few friends she would be with, mainly just liv. Amber was average person around senior year and then when she started college she fell back in to some of her old habits. Drinking, staying out late, partying, hooking up. But it started getting boring, she kinda wanted more than that. Amber was already known for being a party throwing-hooking up type of girl. now she was changing it. Amber wasn’t always the worst but she knew she could be better.
“dm her ? i think yea if you want to talk to her” Liv gave her response. Amber thought about it for a little longer and figured she would give it a shot. What’s the worst that could happen. Amber figured she would text her later after she finished studying and working on homework. she had a test coming next week. “Hey Liv thanks i have a few things to finish”. Liv understood amber typically works on things with music or she likes to be alone. She always hated group projects, especially when she would be put in a group with a girl she hooked up with and ghosted. It happened a few times and she just wouldn’t work on those projects.
After Liv left Amber put on her headphones and started playing her favorite playlist. It wasn’t the best to study but it fit her mood.
Amber worked for a while and after she finished all her homework she left to get some food. A lot of times she’ll forget to eat while she’s doing something. It’s a really bad habit of hers but today she’s glad she went to the cafeteria. She ran into Ethan and she didn’t really care for small talk. “Hey Ethan i heard about your sister’s new roommates. Have you met them or like do you know anything about them.” Ethan was a little confused Amber especially never cared about his sister, but he knew she probably just wanted to know about the new girl at their school. “Basically they’re from a small town trying to get away from it and Tara wanted to go here for college so here they are.” That was so simple it was basically what Liv told her. “Anything else?” Amber pushed. Ethan shrugged, well that was helpful.
After amber got her food and ate she walked around a bit, it was kinda of nice day. Amber really loved fall her favorite holiday was Halloween. She would dress up as her favorite horror characters, she loved horror. Sometimes the character personality’s would feed into hers.
Once she got back to her dorm she changed and dropped on her bed. Immediately she got out her phone and decided to dm tara. She had thought about it all day and thought it could turn out okay. She followed her. Not even 5 minutes later she got a follow back. Amber opened Insta to send her a message. Now she just is wondering what to say.

maybe, your gonna be the one that saves me



this is also on ao3 so yea check that out i plan on continuing it on there and probably here too
Prologue
Amber was a mean girl…well not really. She didn’t feel like she had a choice anymore, she thought ”if that’s how people view me oh well”. Don’t get me wrong she kinda wanted to change it but how would she change half the schools opinion? So she let it be….that was until she met Tara Carpenter, Amber took an interest in her and wanted to get to know her, before she started hearing rumors about amber and her “big bad personality”. Amber gives off a tough vibe like she’s slept with a bunch of people and is someone you really don’t want to mess with. She’s does admit she’s slept with a a few people but she’s actually kinda sweet (in her own way) it’s hard for her to love she’s really a nerd if you got to know her. Now she really wanted to change or at least have people acknowledge that she isn’t as bad anymore. Key word “as”, she could still admit that she definitely was still kinda mean.
Chapter 1
Well this isn’t a first Amber could tell you that. It’s 11:00 pm at a party and of course Amber is eyeing down a girl she’s never seen before, and I can guarantee she had a drink. Amber ponders if she should go say something, no Amber didn’t just see hot girls and try to hook up with them…anymore. But that’s not the point, this girl is so beautiful, she was tiny, with long brown hair, big brown eyes and a handful of freckles on her cheeks. She kind of reminded Amber of a baby deer. A fawn. Amber did actually want to try to get to know her but she didn’t know how to say hello, crazy right? The big scary bad Amber Freeman afraid to say hello to- “hi”. A small voice interrupted her thoughts. Amber froze and looked down slightly..just her luck it was the girl who looked like a fawn. “Hey” Amber squeaked out, the girl chuckled “I noticed you looking over my way” shit. “Yea um..sorry” Amber didn’t exactly know what to say. “No it’s alright, I’m new here so people have been curious about me all week, and trust me I’ve gotten worse looks…my names Tara by the way” tara Amber, thought to herself it’s short and simple but a sweet name. “So your name is….?” “Oh..Amber, Amber freeman” Tara grins “I’ll catch you later Amber” Tara waves and Amber does too. What’s this strange feeling where someone’s so intriguing and beautiful but you don’t wanna get into their pants immediately? Amber has no clue, it’s not like she’s never dated, but she’s confused why she feels drawn to this girl and she seems so innocent that Amber doesn’t want to ruin her. After this she found her friend liv in a sea of drunk young adults and wanted to tell her. Lliv was one of her closet friends and she told her everything. They met and became friends in 7th grade and always hung out after that. Liv put up with Ambers girl drama, problems with school, and was a great friend. “Liv!” Amber yelled towards her seeing her in a corner flirting with chad. Amber didn’t really have a problem with chad but she also didn’t like him that much. Him and liv were so toxic and Amber knows she’s not one to judge but she can’t help it he kinda sucks sometimes. “Hey liv i have to tell you something”. Liv had her hand on chads chest and it made amber want to barf. He’s such a jock. “Heyy ambss what’s up” she was obviously drunk, very drunk.“Can i pull you from chad for a sec?” she shoots a glare at chad and he leaves. "Awe ambs what was that for" liv groaned. “do you know anything about that new girl ?” Amber asked “new girl? Tara carr…penter? just moved here? long brown hair brown eyes?” Liv basically knew everything about everyone. Amber was so grateful for Liv knowing all the stupid gossip and her popular status. “Yea her” “she just moved or something uh here with her older sis from her old town for a freushh start or something. Seems cooliooo”. despite Livs weird slurred-ish words Amber got it. She wanted to ask around more but it’s a party and it’s almost 1 am that’s the time when everyone is shit-headed they won’t really help her especially not her friends. Amber decided to go home shortly after that interaction but she realized she didn’t ask for her number or anything. Well fuck. She goes on insta and searches tara carpenter she finds a few pages and checks them out before..Bingo. she found it. She scrolled down her page a bit but she didn’t post that much just 4 posts. amber has been quite a stalker before but she didn’t want to do that tonight. She clicked on one of the posts just a few pics of her and her new place. Amber puts her phone down for the night so she can go to sleep now and stop thinking so much about her. The campus wasn’t really that big so maybeee…there’s a chance she’ll see her again? hopefully she’s in one of her classes. Amber gets ready to go to sleep and hopes she’ll see the fawn looking girl again and can get her number.
