Chapter One

Sara

Rule One: Don't ever fall in love with a straight girl. One rule and I broke it. Of course, it wasn't entirely my fault. It was Felicity Smoak's. She was so smart and kind and beautiful. It didn't take long for me to realize I had a crush on her. I put those feelings away and thought everything was fine. Then things changed.

Despite the fact I was trained to harness my emotion, Felicity started acting cold and distant towards me. I didn't know what I'd done to make her so mad at me. Felicity was the friendliest person I knew, and she would never act like that without reason.

I walked into the Arrow Cave and saw Felicity working with the punching bag. It was extremely abnormal behavior for her. I walked down the stairs, "Plant your feet, strong foundation equals stronger punch."

She punched the bag again.

"Nice," I said, "if this is for self-defense, I'd recommend Wing Chun. It uses your opponent's strength against him. So it's ideal for smaller people like us.

Felicity walked away, "You seem like you can take care of yourself just fine."

She seemed strange lately, "Are you ok?" I asked.

Just then, Oliver walked into the room and began asking Felicity questions about hacking. We never got back to talking about why she was angry at me. All day long, I noticed moments where Felicity seemed irritated and frustrated. I finally had a moment of clarity and realized why things had been different. Later that day, I found myself knocking on the door of Felicity's apartment.

She opened the door and I walked inside the apartment. "Okay, we need to talk," I said.

"Sure, come on in," she said sarcastically.

"You know, don't you."

Felicity took a deep breath, "Know what?"

"I slept with Oliver, and now you're pissed off."

"I'm not mad!"

"It was just a lapse in judgement. There's nothing between me and Oliver anymore. He's all yours."

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked.

I scoffed, "You are so obviously crushing on him. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell."

"I don't like Oliver!"

"Ha! I've seen the way you look at him. Especially when he's on the salmon ladder."

I imitated Felicity, "Oh, Oliver. Your abs are mesmerizing. I simply can't get enough."

She rolled her eyes, "That is completely inaccurate, and not even relevant. I don't have time for this, Sara."

"Admit it and I'll leave."

"It's not true."

"Either forgive me or admit you like Oliver."

"I don't like him," Felicity insisted.

"Why not?" I pressed.

"There's someone else, okay?" Felicity said loudly.

I didn't notice it, but apparently we'd moved closer during our argument. I could hear her breathing. I looked down at her and we made eye contact for a moment. Felicity cleared her throat, "I should go."

She began to walk towards the door, "Wait, this is my apartment."

"Yeah, I'll go," I said.

I went back to the Arrow Cave and laid down. Despite my efforts, I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see it happening all over again. The argument, us moving closer together, the nearly nonexistent space between Felicity and I. Most of all, I couldn't stop thinking about what she said. Someone else. With all my heart, I wanted to believe she was talking about me.
