“Alice stop for a second” Bette tapped her partners shoulder. “I don’t think Tina is going to do this, we need to go back and sort this out” frustrated they made their way back. “What’s going on?” Bette asked. “Tina is scared of heights” Dana answered for her. “Here” Bette unlinked herself from Alice and clipped onto Tina. “You two go together, we all have to complete this or we fail” The two went off together whilst Bette stayed back with Tina. “I’m not doing this, don’t try and talk me into it, I hate heights, I’m not doing it” Tina wiped her tears feeling stupid. “Tina the groups counting on you, we fail if you don’t do this”

Seeing that this was getting the two nowhere Bette tried a different approach. “Remember how I said you can do anything you want to?” Tina nodded. “Prove it to me” Bette reached out her hand for Tina to grab and come join her on the tight rope. “Just look at me, don’t look at the ground” Tina was studying Bette’s face looking everywhere but their surroundings.

They edged closer to the end, Tina still staring at Bette’s face who was concentrating on their feet work, Tina had a tight grip on Bette’s hand and her arm, “We are almost there” Bette flashed a smile at her. They got to the end and Bette celebrated but hugging Tina excitedly. “You did it!” She high fived her partner “Thank you” Tina smiled at Bette who was so proud that she had overcome her fear. They completed the rest of the obstacle together and found Dana and Alice chatting at the end of it. “It’s about time, we were going to send the rangers in after you” Alice joked.

That following night played out like their first night there. Tina snuck out with Josh to make out behind the tool shed. Tina was leaning against the wood; Josh had his hand up her shirt. She broke the kiss for a second, “Could you and your mates be a little nicer to Bette and her friends” Josh started kisser her again “Babe I’m serious” Tina pushed back.
“Why would we do that?”
“The time I’ve spent with them they seem like nice people, and Bette really helped me out with my fear of heights today”
“Bette’s a dyke babe you gotta stay away from her, she’s only being nice to you to get into your pants” Tina pushed his hand off her chest “don’t tell me what to do” Tina walked away and back to her dorm.
