Alice turned around to face Bette who had managed to grab a firm hold of her arm.

“What, Bette? You ended it, okay! What more do you want from me?”

“Okay, this is gonna sound like the queen of lame, but …I’d like us
to be friends. I’d really like it.” To support her words further, Bette
held out her hand and put the key Alice had returned to her back in the
blonde’s hands.

“B–Bette…”

Dana had finally acquired a map after twenty minutes of walking around and realizing that she was walking in circles.

“God, I really must be a *****. Can’t even ask for directions…” she
shook her head at herself as she looked over a map of the school and
tried to find where she was.

Glancing around her, she realized what had triggered her mind in
finally admitting to herself that she was walking around in circles –
she had passed the same building at least six times. Granted, there was
nothing particular about the library itself that stood out to her, but
a sight in front of the library caught her attention right away.

Two women were standing outside the library, talking. Well, the first
two times she’d passed them, Dana could’ve sworn they were arguing. The
sixth time, she had stopped and watched for a few minutes when she saw
the blonde try to walk away and the brunette stopped her.

Both women were very pretty and fashionably dressed. Nearly every guy,
and a few girls, would take a second longing glance at them when they
passed. Dana couldn’t blame them for staring, since she was practically
doing the same thing! The blonde was the one that caught her eye in
particular. There was just something about the way she moved her hands
when she talked, the way her hips moved when she motioned with her
hands, and the way her ***** danced when–

“Whoa!” Dana stopped her thoughts abruptly. Surprised at both herself
and the blonde that she would react this way to a complete stranger.
“Get a grip of yourself, Fairbanks!” She shook her head clear of the
thoughts and continued walking and studying the map.

“In case you ever need a place to crash, eat real food, or swim in a
pool… you’re always welcome.” Alice was beyond blown away! She’d lost
a girlfriend, fine. But she may just have gained a friend for life.
