The next couple of months went by quickly, and before I knew it, our final project was to be turned in. My avoidance of Bette was not going well, seeing how she was in my classroom two days a week. Not to mention she was the adoptive sister of one of my best friends but alas, I found a girlfriend and hopefully she can help me to get over my Bette crush.

"You wanna come over and make out afterschool," she asked to which I smiled.

"I would but I can’t. I have a study sesh with the girls, dinner with the folks, plus a skype date with my big bro tonight."

"Ok, cool," she said and sighed, "can I at least sneak a kiss before we leave?"

She was very cool about my in the closet issue. We never held hands or kissed in public, just exchanged loving looks every now and again. Her name is Jenny Schecter, and I met her at our afterschool art club meeting. She was a junior who had just transfered from Nebraska. We often hung out at her place, made out and cuddled. Her mother was cool with us dating, her father however was back in Nebraska. They had issues she never talked about, and I never pressed for information.

"Sure," I said and led her to an empty classroom and held her close. We kissed for a few minutes then we parted.

"I could kiss you all day," she said and smiled.

"I know me too, one day but right now," I said and gave her a peck on the lips, "I’ve gotta go."

I walk out to the parking lot to my car, followed by Alice, Shane and Carmen. We planned to have a study session for a big physics test, and normally our study sessions turned into make out time for Shane and Carmen and gossip time for Alice. We stopped by the convienence store for snacks then I picked my brothers up from school and we went home. The girls ran up the stairs to my room and I went to find my mother and let her know we’d be studying.

A couple of hours went by and we were actually still studying. We hadn’t stopped because we suddenly realized there were somethings we didn’t know. My mother knocked on the door and let me know dinner was almost ready. She also invited the girls to stay, which they all quickly accepted her offer.
