Chapter 2

NYU

   Tina parks her BMW SUV in the parking garage. She grabs her camera bag and the building info as to where she needs to go. Tina was to meet the dean of the department in front of the Glass Hall building. Tina arrived at the building but she didn’t see anyone out front so she checked the time and realized that she was ten minutes early, she just sat down on the steps to wait.

Bette’s office

James: Bette your sister is on line one.

Bette: Thank you James I will take it.

Bette: Hi Kit how are you?

Kit: Baby sis I need your help you need to come down here to the Planet.

Bette: Kit can it wait I am meeting Tina Kennard today, I am actually meting her in about 5 minutes  in front of the building, so what’s the hurry?

Kit: Bette I will personally introduce you to her myself just get down here now please.

Bette: How do you know her?

Kit: Bette that is not important right now I will explain later.

Bette: Tell me Kit

Kit: I met her here at the Planet she comes in with Alice sometimes. There now you know so now get here, our father is here and he says he is not leaving until he talks to both of us and Bette he is being hostile.

Bette: I am on my way bye

Kit: Thanks, bye

Bette could not believe that she has never met Tina Kennard and all her friends have. She also couldn’t believe that she was about to run out on her but she knew she had to. Bette knew just how hostile her father Melvin could get. She walks out to tell James.

Bette: James please go down to the front of the building and meet Ms.Kennard and show her around for me and get down there fast because I am already running late to meet her.

James: Okay what do I tell her?

Bette: Tell her that something came up and I will be back as soon as I can.

   James walks thru the front door and sees the beautiful blond woman he thought to himself that she was prettier in person then on TV and in the magazines.

James: Excuse me Ms. Kennard

Tina: Oh hello Dean Porter and how are you?

James was flattered that she thought he was the dean

James: No ma’am I am James Milam the dean’s assistant

Tina: Oh I am sorry I thought I was to meet Dean Porter

James: Yes ma’am that is correct but she had something come up at the last minute and she wanted me to tell you that she is sorry and that she looks forward to meeting you later on today. I will start to show you the Glass Hall building that’s where the art department is.

   Tina was mad that the dean wasn’t here herself and that the dean’s assistant was late meeting her. Tina keeps all her appointments and she always arrives on time and she expects for everyone to do that. Tina told herself as she followed the assistant up the steps that she would have to talk to the dean about this.
