They stopped outside the cave, they had all calmed down since earlier but weren’t talking.
“No way” Bette protested. “It looks really tight and small in there, I can’t do this” Bette started shaking.
“Come on Bette” Alice dragged her friend in behind her. Alice led the way. “Al, please can we get out of here!” Bette begged freeing her hand from Alice’s. “You were the one saying we all need to pass these stupid tasks so we don’t fail” Tina gave Bette a slight push from behind, Bette turned to face her “What? Keep moving” Tina gestured.

The 8 ft wall standing in front of them stopped them in their tracks. There were holes to place your hands and feet. Dana placed one foot in the hole that was as high as her mid section. “I guess this is what they meant by having a strong team members.” Alice tried to help Dana up. “Tina a little help here” Tina pushed pass Alice and place her hands on Dana’s lower back to push her up. “Oh that’s nice, as if I wanna touch you Dana” Alice protested. “You never know with you Al” Dana reached the top looking down at her team mates.

 “Shut up both of you!” Tina helped Alice up too. Bette didn’t follow Alice, she just stood there in fear “You coming” Bette shook her head. “I can’t do this, I hate being in tight places” (*stops writing to giggle hehe*)

“Ok but I will have to leave you here by yourself”
“I don’t want to be left here…fine” Tina stepped out of the way to let Bette go first. “Then you’ll have no one to push you up. You go first, you are strong enough to pull me up” Tina placed her hands firmly in the holes provided. Bette pushed Tina up ‘Oh my god’ Bette started blushing. Tina couldn’t see that Bette’s eyes were closed, she didn’t know how to react to the fact that Bette’s hands were pushing on her ass. Bette was able to get up herself with her long lanky legs; Tina reached out pulling Bette up to meet the others. “This is totally fun guys” Alice smiled to the tired group. “Come on lets go!”

That night Josh never turned up outside Tina’s window. Bette could see her staring at the ceiling out of the corner of her eye “Can’t sleep?” Bette asked turning in Tina’s direction. “Nope….I keep waiting for Josh to come knocking at my window but I’m still mad at him” Tina turned towards Bette. “What’s on your mind?” Bette questioned whether or not to tell Tina.

“…I planned on meeting my mother tomorrow, she lives nearby and… I haven’t seen her since I was born, I wouldn’t even know what to say to say to her”
“How are you going to get out of doing these tasks?” Tina whispered.
“I thought me, Alice, Shane and James were going to be in a team and they would have covered for me”
“I’ll lie for you if you want?”
“I don’t even know if I’m going to go through with it” Bette played with the ring on her finger. “But thanks”
“You should go, when will be the next time you’ll get an opportunity like this is?” Bette thought about it for a second.

“You’re right, I might need you to tell me this in the morning” Bette smiled at Tina.
“No worries…Night Bette” Tina smiled back, rolling over to the other side.
“Night…” Bette remained looking at her. ‘Am I falling for the one girl I can’t have?’ Bette lay there thinking of all the reasons not to like Tina but the reasons for why she does overpowered them.
