Tamara shook her head. She couldn't believe it. She didn't believe it! But it was true. She liked Tom. A lot. "Oh my god... I do like him.." Edd chuckled "Can you feel, the love tonight~" he teased. Tamara punched his arm "Not funny!" She said and blushed even more. Edd rubbed his arm and chuckled. "Ok ok! Well what are you gonna do about it?" Edd asked as he smiled at her. Tamara sighed and held her head. "Nothing. He probably doesn't even like me that way either..."She said then leaned against a wall. Edd frowned and furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't think like that Tam. I bet he does and he has the same problem." Edd said with a reassuring smile. Tamara sighed then smiled back at Edd. "Alright then.." She said then stood straight up an turned to leave. "Where are you going?" asked a curious Edd. "The bar. I need to clear my head and get drunk." Tamara said and left.

On her way to the bar Tamara looked around and took in her surroundings. The trees in the yards around her were all the same along with the shape, grass, and building shape. It looked kinda boring. None the less she kept walking and eventually arrived to the bar.

Once she got there she enetered and swiftly went to the bar counter. Sitting in one of those tall swivel chairs connected to the ground, it was blue and had a curve to help people sit up. Tamara had no intention of sitting up. Instead she slouched over and layed her head on the cold counter waiting for the bartender. "Tom? I thought you were with Stacy? Also, what happened to your hair?" The bartender had asked as he finally arrived. Tamara sat up a bit and raised her head to look at him. "Not Tom sir. My name is Tamara." She said an held her hand out in a friendly greeting. The bartender hummed and shaked her hand. "Well hi there Tamara, you looked like my buddy Tom with your hair... and eyes." He chuckled out. She nodded and chuckled with him. "I get that a lot from around here." She smiled. He smiled back "Do you know Tom? I only know him as a regular here at this old place." Tamara nodded "I know him pretty well, you could basically say i'm him as a girl really. " She laughed out then realized she really was him as a girl then stopped laughing. The bartender chuckled. "I can see that. So if your just like Tom... You came here to get drunk off offa Smirnoff." He said. She nodded "Exactly what i'm here for." She said. The bartender nodded then handed her  bottle of Smirnoff. She was a bit confused on why he handed her the actual bottle instead of giving her a shot like she was used to but took it anyways and drank. The familiar burning sensation in her throat  made her feel calm and at home. This is when she decided to study what the bartener looked like. He was fairly tall and looked to be in his mid thirdies. His left arm was covered in skull tattooes while the rest of him seemed to be untouched. He wore a blue T-shirt that had a small white stain on his chest area. He had long blonde hair that was made into a bun that sat peacfully atop his head. He had a beard and the begining of a mustache. His skin was a nice soft tan color that complimented his hair well. Tamara found him kinda attractive. She soon finished with the bottle and started on another. Then she began to think of what had all happened today. She found out she liked Tom, Went to the bar, met the bartender, he told her Tom was with Stacy, and-... who is Stacy? She wondered then looked at the bartender who was cleaning a few cups a couple feet away from her. "Hey uh... You said Tom was with someone... Her name was Stacy right? Who is she? " She asked him. He hummed then walked over to her. "Stacy is his girlfriend. Well... He says they're just friends but you don't make out with your friends behind the bar sober." He chuckled. Tamaras heart dropped. He had a girlfriend? Since when? For how long? Why didn't she know? Why didn't he tell anyone? So many thoughts raced through her head as her chest ached.  "Hey uh... You ok there?" The bertender asked, waving his hand in front of her face. Tamara jolted back as she nodded and held her chest. "Y-yeah... i'm alright...." She replied then handed him money. "Um... I gotta go... See ya later sir...." she said then got off the chair. "Oh um.. ok then. By the way, names Allan." The bartender said with a smile. Tamara nodded and forced a smile back. She then left and walked down the sidewalk towards the park. She wasn't going to Edds house, she didn't feel good, seeing Tom would make her feel worse. She just climed a tree in the park and slept on a sturdy branch for the night.
