Chapter 8

Tina opened the door and looked straight in Bette’s eyes. There was an awkward moment between them and Bette got this goofy smile on her face.

Tina: hi, you had a good morning I saw (winking and smirking)

Bette (blushing): ohw yeah really good!

Tina giggled and said: alright, let’s go

They got in the car and there was a comfortable silence between them. Tina choose her favourite CD and Bette smiled because that was her favourite CD too. They giggled and talked about the music for a while.

When they got home Bette’s friends were already inside. Tina told Bette that she was a little nervous about meeting her friends, but Bette assured her that they’d come along just fine.

The gang accepted Tina immediately and they had a lot of fun during their dinner. After that they all got ready and headed to the club.

At Hitclub

They arrived at this gay/straight club and Shane got them in. They walked over to a table in the back near the dance floor and sat down.

Bette: alright, first round is on me! What would you like to drink Tina?

Tina: thanks.. just a coke for me please

Shane: a coke?

Tina: yeah well, I’m only 17-years-old.. a long way to go till 21 huh (pouting) although you’re all drinking already at 18 (smiling)

After talking for a while Shane got up and said: ‘I see you guys, I go fish for tonight.’ (winking) ‘Tina, it was nice meeting you, don’t be a stranger huh!’

Tina: no, I won’t! And come by the Planet next Saturday to support Bette alright (winking)

The four of them had a lot of fun together and they laughed when they saw Shane with her new prey on the dance floor.

Alice: come guys, let’s dance..

Dana and Alice walked to the dance floor together and danced loose from one and other as friends until a slow song came up and they held each other tight. Bette and Tina had been watching them for a while, because Bette said it was easier to learn to dance on a slow song than on a fast song. 

Together they walked to the dance floor and Bette laid her hands on Tina’s hips.
