High School Love Romance

part 8

That weekend, Tara called Blank and asked if he wanted to go hang out at the mall. He said yes.

When Tara started leaving, Sara asked, "Where are you going?"

"To the mall," Tara replied. "I'm shopping with Blank."

Sara was surprised, but she didn't mind.

"But when are you going to be back?"

"I don't know, probably around 4."

Sara called Annie and asked if she and Ellie can come over.

"Yes, we'll come right over," said Annie.

Annie and Ellie arrived right as Tara was leaving. Sara told Annie and Ellie that Tara was going to the mall with Blank.

"That sounds like fun," said Annie, "Bye, Tara!"

"Thanks, bye," said Tara.

"Bye, Tara," said Ellie, "Have fun!"

When Tara got to the mall, Blank was already there.

"Hi, Blank!" said Tara.

"Oh, hey!" he said.

"Sorry, were you waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just got here."

"Okay, do you want to go now?" asked Tara.

"Sure, let's go."

"Hi, Blank," said a voice right behind them.

Tara and Blank turned around, it was a beautiful girl with long blond, curly hair and blue eyes. Right beside her was a tall, Asian guy.

"Rachel," Blank said in a voice with barely hidden disdain, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I saw you here so I thought I will come by to say hi. Have you met my new boyfriend, Shawn?"

"Hey," said Shawn.

"Oh no, is this his ex?" Tara thought.

"Oh, who is this?" Rachel said, looking at Tara now. "Your new girlfriend, why didn't you say so?"

Blank facepalmed himself, clearly embarrassed.

"H-hi," Tara said in a nervous voice, "My name is Tara."

"Well, it is nice to meet you, Tara," said Rachel.

"Rachel, please go away," said Blank, "I don't want anything to do with you or Shawn."

"Pff, whatever," said Rachel, as she and Shawn were walking away.

"I'm sorry," said Blank, "That was my ex-girlfriend."

"It's okay," said Tara.

"Also, I don't mean to pry or anything, but has she always been mean to you?"

"Well," said Blank, "She was really nice to me when first started dating, but she changed into a fucking bitch after she cheated on me with that Shawn guy."

"That's terrible," said Tara. "I'm starting to wonder how you guys met."

"We met on a blind date, a mutual friend introduced us."

"Okay, I'm sorry," said Tara.

"It's alright."

Tara and Blank went shopping until 3. After shopping, Tara was ready to confess her feelings. When Blank was ready to go home, Tara asked him to meet her outside on a bench as she wanted to tell him something. They met on a bench.

"Listen, I was scared to say this, but now I think it's time."

"Okay," said Blank, "what is it?"

"I really like you. I think I have feelings for you."

"Oh," replied Blank. "Well, to be honest, I like you too, Tara. I just didn't know how to tell you."

Blank starts blushing afterwards.

"Will you be my boyfriend?" asked Tara.

"Yes, of course I will," replied Blank.

They kissed and hugged.

"I will call you again to go on a date sometime," said Blank, "I will see you later bye Tara."

"Okay bye," replied Tara.

While Tara was walking home she could feel herself blushing. She was so happy.

Author's note: Hey guys, sorry I've been gone for a long time. I honestly didn't mean to disappear like that. I've been really busy a lot and kept forgetting until now and the COVID-19 pandemic has been really stressing me out too. I'll try update this story more and get it done as I soon as I can. Thank you for understanding and supporting my story.
