Chapter 68:

Tina is studying in the library when she is interrupted.

“Hey Ms. Kennard.”

Tina looks up and sees a guy named Steve, that she recognizes from her Poli-Sci class.  He tried to impress her on the first day of class.  He made a point of sitting next to the blonde and would whisper to her during class.  Nothing disrespectful.  She actually found herself giggling a bit.  She was amused at how hard he was trying, but of course he took this as encouragement.

“So you studying for our test on Friday?” He asked.

“No.” She answered while holding up her History of Cinema text book.

“Oh that’s right, you’re a film major.  I remember you telling me that on the first day of class.” He said.

“Yes, that’s right.”  Tina answered and continued reading.

“So I’ll leave you to it.  Unless you could use some help?  I actually took this as an elective last term.”  He said hoping she would let him study with her.

“Steve?”

“Yes Tina.”

She used her index finger to beckon him closer to her.  He smiled and leaned closer, so close he could smell her shampoo.

“You seem like a nice guy.”  He smiled at this, feeling encouraged.

“Thanks Tina.  You seem like a great girl.”  She let out a sigh.  She knows she has to be truthful.

“Well this woman is very much in love.  So there is absolutely no chance of anything happening between us.  You are not exactly my type.”

“Oh really?  Well who is the lucky guy?  Is he ball player as well?”

“Yes my boo is a ball player and we are both lucky.”

“Does he play for USC?”

“Nope,” she hesitates a moment then exhales before adding, “SHE is the starting forward for Stanford.”

He wasn’t sure how to react.  He never thought that she could be a lesbian.

“Oh so you….well I didn’t know..I’m sorry.”

“Why are you sorry Steve?”

“Well I was hitting on you because I didn’t know you were a um…”

“A lesbian?  How would you know just by looking at me?  We don’t usually have signs on our foreheads.”  Tina said smiling.

“No it’s just that you’re very sexy and smart.  I mean your always so kind to me in class.”
