Going Campus touring was going to be super fun, Tara could feel it in her bones. Sirius was taking her by train and she was blown away, she had no idea that Versailles had a train station.
"Do you take the train every day, Sirius?" Tara asks the person sitting next to her as she was looking out the window, taking the pretty scenery in. Sirius shakes his head,
"Nope, I usually drive my motorcycle to school but since you haven't used the gare* yet, I thought it would be better for you to see a little bit of Versailles," Sirius muttered, swinging his long feet off the train seat edge.
He drives a motorcycle? Since when?
Tara cranes her neck to see that his style was indeed different as compared to when she had first met him. The jeans were exchanged for long flowy black pants and the bomber jacket was traded for a floral dad shirt. His shoes were the same though, allowing for the girl to safely assume that those were his favorite pair of shoes.
Tara raises her brows, trying to locate the oh-so-familiar blue fabric on Sirius, frowning when she couldn't find it. Tara shyly pokes Sirius's thigh, getting a turn of the head from Sirius,
" Yes?" He asks, fixing the collar of his shirt. Tara clears her throat lightly before speaking,
"Where's your bandana? Did you decide to change your style?" She asks causing Sirus to lazily shake his head,
"Nope, just forgot to put it on. Thanks for reminding me though." Sirius mutters, putting his palm over Tara's short hair and ruffling it playfully. The girl frowns at her newly found friend and fixes her hair while muttering something underneath her breath.
Sirius chuckles lightly and fishes out a blue bandana out of his pocket, tying it around his bicep. Right as he finishes the process, the train stops and he drops his hands.
Tara seemed to be frozen in her spot,
There were so many people.
A small nudge from Sirius draws her out of her daydreaming as she gives him a weak smile. Sirius notices her tension and offers his hand to her. The scared girl gladly takes her friend's hand and walks out of the train.
"Woah." She says, her jaw-dropping out of awe. The train station reminded her of a big greenhouse. The station was made of glass and the sun shone through the glass, making Tara secretly want to recreate a scene from the Sound of Music.
And that's exactly what she did.
Tara spread her arms out and spun around in a circle, absorbing the sun. Her shirt whipped around and she finally slowed down, smiling brightly at Sirius.
"This is so pretty!" She exclaims, finally having calmed down and she was now finally walking out of the greenhouse-esqe train station.
Sirius on the other hand was stunned. She had the courage to do that in a public place and even when she got dirty looks all she did was smile back.
"Are you enjoying it?" Sirius asks, softly playing with the chains on his dress pants while they walk down the streets of Versailles. All of a sudden, Sirius's phone dings. The caller id had shown that Sienna had texted him,
Snitch (Sienna)
It didn't work.
Plan B.
Sirius curses underneath his breath, he was praying that it wouldn't come to this.
"Sirius?" Tara asks, snapping him out of his trance. His head seems to clear and he quickly forms a plan mentally. He raises his eyebrows,
"Yes?" He asks and Tara tilts her head,
"Is everything good?" She asks and he nods,
"Ya, just give me a minute." Sirius smiles at Tara and she nods, swaying along to her own tune. Sirius opens his phone once again,
Ok.
University Entrance.
Snitch
Meet you there.
With a heavy exhale, Sirius slips his phone into his pocket regretting what he was about to do.
Well, it was nice to know you, Tara.
"Hey, do you want to meet my friend near the entrance?" Sirius asks, shoving his hands into the belt loops of his dress pants.
Tara shrugs,
"Sure."
The more people the better.
Right?

That's how Tara found herself sitting on the steps of Versailles University. She could feel the cool concrete through her jeans, but it didn't faze her. Now irritated, she whirls over to Sirius,
"Where's your friend?" She asks, trying her best not to spit acid out.
She was freezing and just wanted to go into her room and drink pink lemonade.
"She's coming," Sirius reassures the impatient girl, playing with his bandana. Finally, an SUV with black tinted windows pulls up in front of the both of them.
Warning bells and red flags play in Tara's head and she slowly backs away, scooching up with stairs discreetly. The car door opens and a woman in very business-like clothing walks out, immediately catching Tara's eyes. Her hair was cut into a bob, showcasing her strong side profile and her eyes were a pretty shade of green.
"Woah," Tara whispers, keeping an eye on the woman who was currently hugging Sirius. As if it was magic, she makes eye contact with Tara, letting a soft smile show itself. The woman walks towards Tara and crouches down, treating Tara as she would a child.
"Hi, I'm Sienna, I'm Sirius's friend." Sienna points towards Sirius who was leaning against the car, keeping his eyes on the smaller girl. Tara sticks her hand out,
"I'm Tara." She smiles and Sienna swore that she almost got high off that smile. While lost in thought she mutters,
"I know."
Tara's eyes widen and she leans forward,
"WHAT?"
Sienna pulls back and gestures at her car,
"Shall we?" She asks. Tara hesitates, but then all the what-ifs start to fill her mind,
What if I ruin their friendship?
What if they're dating?
Wait.. dating?
"Tara?" Sienna waves her hands in front of Tara's face, snapping her out of her sad thoughts. Tara leans forward,
"Hm?" She asks and Sienna shyly points to the car again,
"Shall we?" She asks and Tara sighs,
What the hell?
"Sure"
YAS! Now Tara has met both of our right hands. Also, I've been writing in advance and I'm just gonna say it might become a slow burn, so just wanted to let you know. TPWK!
