The next day after breakfast the class had to sit in their assigned groups and get to know one another, they were going to be quizzed on what they knew each other. The questions were easy, like ‘Where did you grow up?’ The group sat in silence for a while, refusing to do it. Dana and Tina weren’t co-operating well with the other two. They sat talking to others around them. “Least we know each other pretty well” Alice lay her head on Bette’s shoulder.

The teacher turned her focus on their group asking them the next question. “Dana, who in your group has never been on a holiday overseas?” Dana looked puzzled. “I dunno Bette looks like she isn’t able to”
“Bette, have you?” the teacher waited for the right answer. “No…” Bette felt her cheeks starting to burn as she heard a few people laugh. She had never been able to afford to go away and Dana knew that.

“Bette, what does Tina want to be when she grows up?”
“I’m not too sure; she’s a cheerleader…” fighting every urge to say something mean back “so maybe something to do with sports or fashion?” Tina looked at Bette thankful that she wasn’t calling her a dumb cheerleader; a small smile crept at the side of her mouth. “Anything she wants really” Bette smiled back. “Dyke!” Josh called from across the room causing everyone to break out into laughter. Bette’s smile quickly faded as she bowed her head back down.

The teams left the hall to move onto their next tasks. For them it was an obstacle course suspended 30ft in the air, they were forced to work in teams as they will be linked together in two’s until the end of the course. Automatically the friends paired up. Bette and Alice decided that they would go first because Tina was screaming like a girl about going up there. Once all four members reached the top Alice and Bette stepped out onto the tight rope causing it to shake. Dana and Tina watched on deciding it was best to wait til the rope stopped shaking before stepping on. Bette looked back to see if the others were coming to see Tina crying. Dana was practically pulling her; the two looked to be going nowhere.
