Despite the fact that Tara and I were now like two peas in a pod, we didnt see each other Sunday, though we did talk a bit on the phone. Even though we both loved one another dearly, we both were the type of people who actually did their schoolwork, so we got that out of the way on Sunday.
During our phone conversation, Tara and I had resolved to meet at lunch on Monday. While we were both looking forward to seeing one another, I was probably more excited as it was another opportunity to watch Tara eat, even though I didnt think itd be at the same level as our previous meals.
Monday came and on my way to lunch Tara met up with me on her way out of her last class. She was wearing a brown t-shirt that hugged her round figure beautifully and a pair of khaki pants that were just the right size, and perhaps a little smaller. Her shirt had sleeves that reached her elbows on account of the cool winter days, but was tight enough that the outline of her bra was discernable against her back.
How are you? I asked Tara.
Fine, she replied with a smile, How bout you?
Better now that youre here again.
You dastardly flatterer! I shouldnt listen to a word you say.
Only because its all true, I said.
Tara took my hand and squeezed it tenderly. I know, I know, she said, Where do you want to eat?
Because our school was open-air, there were plenty of places that one could sit during lunch, including more than enough discreet areas for couples to find the intimacy they desired. However, I figured there was plenty of time for that type of stuff.
I dont really care, I said, You pick.
You want to sit with the team? Tara asked.
As in the water polo team? I asked. Though I happened to have this thing for water polo players (which had made Tara all the more attractive to me), I didnt hold the highest opinion of them. I generally thought they were all a little stuck-up and had a tendency to be more than a little mean.
Yeah, Tara said, You okay with that? I know youve never exactly been very close with any of them, but I think they just have to warm up to you a little bit and discover that charming Irish sense of humor you have.
Theyll think Im perfectly dreadful because I save all of my jokes for you, I replied.
Well maybe some will leak out accidentally. Really, Liam, I think that theyll really like you. Besides, all the other girls bring their boyfriends over most of the time.
So maybe I wasnt thrilled with shaking up my social circles this late in high school, but Id do anything for Tara, and so I complied. We headed over into the corner that the water polo team had staked out for itself. They were all lined up, sitting along a planter bed and tittering away at one another. Kristin was the first to notice Tara and I approaching, and this sent the entire lot whispering. Obviously Christy had wasted absolutely no time in spreading the word about Tara and me and whatever Christy had said was probably being validated now.
Hi guys! Tara said and was greeted with a chorus of welcomes from the team, In case you dont already know, Liam and I are seeing each other and I thought itd be okay to bring him over here.
Just as long as you guys dont gross us out, okay? Nina responded.
Please, we do have a sense of decorum you know, Tara said and we soon joined them there.
Since I was the new kid on the block, the discussion happened to revolve around me, involving Tara doing some bragging about this or that with responses of How cute! or Thats so sweet!. I could tell Tara enjoyed showing me off. I was vaguely interested in my predicament, figuring that I had rarely heard of a trophy boyfriend before, but if there was such a thing, this was undoubtedly what it felt like.
After a while, Tara had to go to the restroom and left me there alone with the team. As soon as she was around the corner, the entire team crowded around me. While I initial thought they were going to mug me, they all started asking me questions at once, none of which I could understand in the
slightest.
Whoa! Lets give me a little breathing room, all right ladies? I said, And one at a time.
They all took a step back and then Tina asked, So, it really is true that you and Tara are an item?
Yeah, I said.
And youre really you know in love with her? Lynn asked.
You know it! Shes one of the nicest, smartest, happiest people I know! I just cant believe my luck, to be honest.
They all murmured amongst themselves for a moment before Chelsea said, Sorry for the interrogation, but you wont believe how shook up Tara was when she got dumped by Ian last time.
Yeah, even though she didnt say anything to any of us, she was really hurt by that, and since shes always been there for us, we want to make sure she doesnt get hurt again, Jenna replied.
Trust me, thats the last thing that I want to see happen, I replied.
Yeah, because we thought during practice that she was going to kill us with the way she was passing the ball, Katherine, one of the thin girls, said, We also want to make sure you dont get hurt as well.
We all laughed a bit, but I didnt doubt it in the slightest.
And, uh, one more thing, Liam Kristin stammered, We, uh, all thought we should let you know that we think youre not a bad guy and that we, ummm, think its great that well able to get to know you better.
Needless to say I hadnt the slightest idea I was going to get such a reception, which only got more and more surprising as it went on. I had hardly expected the rigid social circles of high school to so easily bend for me. Somehow I sensed that Taras and my romance was going beyond us and might not be stirring up the entire social fabric that we lived in. But, that couldnt be. I mean, could two people really change things like that?
When Tara came back about half a minute later, all the girls were back where they were sitting and there was no hint of our conversation. Tara and I had a wonderful lunch, and maybe it was just me, but the other girls seemed to be just slightly warmer now than they had before. Must be my imagination, I thought.
***
Throughout the week I continued meeting Tara with the other girls for lunch. I wasnt alone by any means as there were the other guys there too, and we generally got talking with one another. In a certain respect there was a small club of the boyfriends of water polo girls that existed, and sometimes there was extremely interesting conversation that went on there.
However, I quickly found out that only about a quarter of the girls on the varsity team were currently seeing someone. I was very surprised at this new intelligence, as I thought they were all prime catches personallyeven the thin ones.
Tara and I continued deepening our relationship, although it was only be little hops and skips rather than the leaps and bounds wed taken over the past couple of weeks. Id noticed on Monday that Tara had what I deemed to be an insufficient lunch. After plenty of badgering, Tara reluctantly divulged that was 100 Grand was her favorite candy, so I made it a point to buy an entire box of them to give to her at lunch.
On Tuesday it took a little bit of encouragement from me that, yes, it was okay to eat it. On Wednesday Tara hesitated when I handed her another one, but I didnt have to push her any. On Thursday Tara simply smiled and said, Oh you shouldnt have brought me another one! Thats real sweet of you Liam.
And if youve been keeping track, youll realize that Thursday was the day of the match against Central High School, that invincible powerhouse in high school ladies water polo. When I showed up on Thursday, the entire team, including Tara, was looking glum. I could tell that they had already lost the game in their minds.
Oh come on, you havent lost yet! I said to them, standing in front of them as they all sat dejected on the planter.
Yes we have, Christy said in her typical cynical voice.
Youre not going to win if you think like that, I replied.
Were not going to win even if we dropped an atomic bomb on Central, Nina replied, Ive been playing for three years and weve never beat them.
And this year theyre supposed to be the best team that theyve fielded in at least four years, Tina said dejectedly.
Oh yeah? Well let me tell you something, ladies; this is the best water polo team this school has ever had, I said.
Look, Liam, its really nice of you to say that, and we really appreciate your support, but its just a waste of breath, Tara said.
When was the last time we won the first two games of the season? I asked.
They all looked at one another. Uh, I dont think we ever have, Chelsea said.
Thats right! Youve already done that! Look, youve got absolutely nothing to lose. Everyone is expecting you to get absolutely trounced today. So why not at least give them a run for it? If you lose, you lose. But at least make them work for it. Dont just give it to them. Make them beat you! I said.
When I was finished, I realized they were all staring at me. I suddenly realized precisely how caught up Id gotten in my motivational speech and was about to tell them to forget it, but then Lynn said, Have you ever considered becoming a coach?
They all giggled and Allie, a tall, rail-thin senior stood up and said, Girls, hes right. Why not give it everything we got? I mean, maybe we can have some fun and worst come to worst well know they beat us in the pool and not in our minds.
Yeah! Morgan, another one of the thin girls said, Lets go give it to them!
Soon they were all on their feet and pumped up. I wasnt exactly sure what Id just done, but soon Tara was next to me and said, I think this is the most excited weve ever gotten for a game against Central. You just keep surprising me every day!
With that she gave me another one of her giant hugs, and I said, Now you just go out there and surprise me by winning today, all right?
Were going to give them everything weve got, Tara said, I think I wont have any trouble promising you that.
***
They still lost. I hadnt called Tara after the match, and she hadnt called me with any excited reports, so I figured itd been a dismal failure. I was fully prepared for the bad news that day at lunch when I found the entire team so excited that they were nearly jumping up and down.
When Tara saw me she ran up to me and said, We lost by two points! Tara grabbed me in a hug with so much force I nearly fell over from the impact (fat girls do get a lot of momentum going, you know).
Get out! I said, absolutely stunned. Id been doing some research last night on all the web pages for high school water polo and found a reference to Central not having won a match by less than four points within the last six years. This was absolutely huge for them and it was understandable how they were all ebullient after their near-victory.
Liam, you really got us going there yesterday. I dont think we could have played that way without your help, Christy said, Wed all like to thank you for bringing out the best in us. The entire team echoed her thoughts.
Were going to try and get coach today to make you an honorary assistant coach, Tara giggled.
Now thats really unnecessary I started.
Yeah, but that doesnt mean were not going to do it anyway! Lynn said.
