They walked into class and took their seats in opposite side
of the classroom. Tina kept looking back towards Bette and Bette looking
towards Tina until the teacher started talking and handing out the test. A
couple of times during the test Bette would catch Tina glancing over her
shoulder to look at her. Bette felt this attraction to Tina and she never felt
so happy but she was also worried how all of a sudden Tina started talking to
her and she decided that she would ask Tina the minute she got the chance.

The rest of the day had gone by fast Bette and Tina only had
two classes together and she really hadn’t had the chance to ask her if they
could talk. At the end of school day Bette went back to her room she changed
out of her uniform and went to the roof where she had been going to a lot
lately to just think.

“Penny for your thoughts”

Bette smiled as soon as she heard the familiar voice “Hey”

Tina stood next to Bette “You really like it up here”

Bette took a deep breath in and let it out “This is where I
come to think”

“What do you think about?” Tina asked curiously

“A lot of things… but today… I’m thinking about you” Bette
said and glanced over at Tina

Tina smiled “Oh yeah… and what exactly are you thinking?”

Bette bit her lower lip “Tina I just find it weird that you
all of a sudden started talking to me… and today… you held my hand in front of
everyone… it felt great but you’ve been here four years and you’ve never said a
word to me until yesterday… why wait this long?”

Tina sighed she knew Bette had every right to ask her why “I
just never had the guts to talk to you… at first it was because of what people
would say or think of me… then it was because you made me nervous… and every time
I would try and go up to you I’d get speechless and my palms would get all
sweaty… so I would walk away…  I was
surprised to see you up here yesterday… and I saw it as a sign to finally talk
to you”

Bette smiled “Do you like me?”

Tina blushed at the question “yes… I always did… when I
first got here and I saw you… I thought you were the most beautiful girl I had
ever seen… and Dana was the first to point out my crush on you… I denied at
first but I always caught myself looking at you or looking around for you… and
during the summers I couldn’t wait to get back to school to see you and your
smile that makes me melt…Oh my… look at me just rambling… you must think I’m
crazy”
