Bette looked over her shoulder and looked at Tina and Dana
talking “I am curious… but I’m sure it’s just because of what everyone says
about us… and yesterday she told me she didn’t care what people said or thought
of her”

“Ok… well let’s hope this is not just them trying to pick on
us or make fun of us” Shane sighed and followed Bette to where Dana and Tina
were sitting

“Hi” Bette said to both Tina and Dana

Dana smiled “Hi Bette… Hi Shane… I’m Dana”

Shane cocked an eyebrow “Yeah we know who you are”

“So are you ready for the calculus test?” Tina asked Bette

Bette nodded “Definitely… it’s going to be a piece of cake”

“Do you like math?” Dana asked

Bette nodded “I’m good at it” she replied with a smile

Tina smirked “Yeah… so good you have the highest grade in
calculus”

Bette blushed and Shane laughed at her friend blushing

“Too cute” Shane said under her breath and Bette gave her a
small shove with her shoulder

Dana looked at Shane and Bette being playful “So how long
have you two been friends?”

Shane smiled “Five years now… we arrived at the same time…
and we instantly became friends”

Bette wrapped her arm around Shane’s shoulder “We’re more
like sisters”

“It’s the same for Dana and me” Tina added “We got here the
same time and we’ve been roommates ever since”

The first bell rang and it was time for everyone to get to
class. Bette and Tina said bye to Shane and Dana and walked over to their first
period class. As they walked towards class everyone was looking at them and
whispering to each other.

Bette noticed everyone whispering she stopped walking and
faced Tina “It’s not too late to run”

Tina faced Bette “I’m not going anywhere… Like I said I
don’t care what they think or say”

Bette had a worried look on her face “Are you sure?”

Tina smiled she looked down at Bette’s hand she took her
hand and interlocked their fingers together “Yes… now let’s go to class”

Bette looked down and back up at Tina “Ok” She gave Tina the
biggest smile.

Tina grinned “Never seen you smile like that before… I think
you just lit up the whole school”

Bette blushed “I never held hands with anyone like this
before”
