It's 1985, a normal ordinary summer for Natalie, while her cousins are either doing an internship or watching the movies. While looking for a job, she bumps into a freckled girl, she looked pretty, gorgeous even. What turned into a normal summer tur...

It is the night of the Championship game, where Natalie has to be more focused than ever. The band played for a while and stopped.
"Everyone now please rise for our national anthem. Singing for us tonight, we have a very special guest. From Nashville, our very own Tammy Thompson!"
The three had their jaw dropped, Natalie started staring at Robin, as she turned her head to look at someone. Out of curiosity, she looked up to find Steve with some girl.
"Go, Tammy!"
"We love you, Tammy!"
♪ O say, can you see? By the dawn's early light... ♪
"Told you, Muppet," Steve whispered.
"Ok she does sound like a Muppet"
Natalie let out a chuckle, she quicky covered her mouth so she didn't burst out laughing. Natalie heard another voice speak it was a girl's voice. Her smile quickly dropped
"Oh my god totally- she sounds like Kermit"
"I was probably thinking Miss Piggy"
And not only that, but Robin was also talking to her. Natalie felt her teeth clench and her heart slowly breaking. She hasn't felt this way ever since she saw Steve and Robin hold hands. Of course it was a misunderstanding. But she is a girl? Why is Robin talking to her! And she is pretty too! But at the same time, Natalie wanted to be her.
"I used to think she was good because I had this massive crush"
Now why was she telling her this - only they knew her secret. If only she had the guts to tell her, maybe Robin won't be gawking at some other girl. Or maybe Robin never liked her at all! Natalie felt like a fool, thinking otherwise that Robin Buckley would fall for someone like her. They are two girls after all. Luckily, she wasn't paying attention and turned her head to her.
"I'm sorry-"
"Um- we -we- um- took a massively hard class together - we were - we were - in Mrs. Clicks class together- yeah"
And she sounded nervous - nervous - she couldn't believe it what she was watching. Natalie felt like crying, but she can't leave, it's the championship game
"Eh- um sorry where you asking me a question"
" No" The girl shook her head with a smile.
"Um ok"
She stopped looking at her- and focused on Tammy. Natalie let out a shaky breath and closed her eyes, trapping in the tears from falling, the people in her row looked concerned, so she just put on a fake smile. Natalie couldn't focus on the game at all, her mind clouded with the thoughts of Robin and the red head girl. Now she understood how Peppermint Patty felt when talking to Linus, that all she wanted to do was to cry. Natalie felt this burning ache in her chest, she put her hand on her uniform, trying to stop it.
