Farming Underclassman

Jill was thinking about the last time she hung out with Celia a few days ago. How she had stood up to Marlin. Jill knew that Marlin was different, but she had no idea he was a possessive jerk. But at least her and Celia got to hang out and set up for her birthday party together. Marlin was rather awkward that whole night. But Celia seemed really happy. 'I wonder what she wished for..'

'I need a water break,' Jill thought to herself putting her tools up for the day. She walked into her cabin and took a shower and drank a bunch of water with her lunch. 'So refreshing, I can't believe I finished early today. I wonder what Celia is doing,'

Walking out of her cabin, Jill notices Celia taking a walk down the path to the woods next to her farm waving, "Hello! Is everyone on the farm doing well?"

She couldn't believe it, she was literally just thinking about her. Without hesitation, Jill followed her. Celia was walking so fast and looked a little nervous, did she not even notice her following?

At the end of the path, Celia stopped and smiled. Jill was breathing slightly heavily. Celia startled and turned around. "Jill, I wasn't expecting you, are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine, Celia. How are you?" Celia giggled and asked "Are you taking a rest too? Let's sit by spring," As the two got closer to it, Celia whispered "Please be quiet, we don't want to scare the forest friends," Jill smiled and nodded.

"I feel so peaceful every time I come here. I always just feel like the breeze carries my worries away," Celia whispered. "I know what you mean, I might need to come here more often," Jill replied laying down slowly. "Did you enjoy your birthday Celia?"

"I did, It was amazing. Thank you again, Jill I hope you enjoyed the cookie cake," "I did it was great, thanks," The two then shared a peaceful moment just enjoying nature. Celia smiling asked, "Do you feel better?" "Maybe so," Jill replied with a smile.

"Hey, have my farming tips helped you, Jill?" "Yes, I haven't been in pain as much, you are a really good teacher," Celia says "I am really glad I can help you, I always wanted a farming buddy" "I thought you had Vesta?" Jill asked confused.

"Yeah, but she's like a farming teacher, I want a farming underclassman too," Jill blushing thinks 'Damn it why is she so adorable,' "That's a really adorable way to put it,"

Celia giggles while blushing,"Thanks, I never said this out loud before. Auntie Vesta has always been close friends with my mother and I. But when my altitude sickness started getting worse 5 years ago, I moved here to Forget-Me-Not to live with her and Marlin, we became really good friends. But she doesn't understand all of my interests, so I really wanted someone who shared them. Jill, I am glad you moved here, you are my farming underclassman,"

Blushing, Jill responds, "Celia, you are really unique, I like your style. I wouldn't have it any other way," She turns and looks at her. Celia was looking at the sky. 'Maybe now I should ask her,'

"Um, Celia," "Oh look at the time, Jill. I guess you must have been tired. Don't overwork yourself," Celia said kind of embarrassed. 'Say it, SAY IT!' "Oh, thank you, Celia. I never thought the woods could be so relaxing," 'No, Jill why did you not say it?'

Celia hugs her unexpectedly saying, "Thank you Jill, if there is anything you ever need, let me know. I am here for you," Jill surprised starts to stutter. "Well, I am here if you need anything, I uh, got to go see ya!" Celia leaves rather abruptly noticeably blushing too.

Before Jill could say anything she was gone. "Shoot, I missed my chance," As she looked towards the sky and it's setting sun, she realized, 'Why was she like that at the end there, unless...No, couldn't be,' Smiling, Jill realized that maybe Celia felt the same way, and that maybe she wouldn't be alone for much longer.
