Shane placed her hand on Bette’s shoulder “I’m sorry Bette,
I wish I knew what to say but I’m sure you’ll get your answers soon when you
find your mom”

Bette started to cry and Shane took her in her arms and let
Bette cry.

Shane and Bette became friends the first day Bette got there
to boarding school five years ago. They connected right away and been best
friends ever since. Shane never hid her sexuality and she got called names all
the time because she was a lesbian and Bette was always being called names too
because she was best friends with Shane but she didn’t care she wasn’t going to
let anyone ruin their friendship she stood by Shane’s side and even came out
herself telling everyone she was a lesbian herself too.

They were still holding each other when they heard a door
open and they pulled away

“I’m sorry didn’t mean to interrupt”

Bette sighed “You didn’t” She replied with a slight attitude
in her tone “Go run off and tell everyone you saw the two lesbians hugging”

Shane placed her hand on Bette’s forearm “Bette…”

“I have nothing to tell anyone, all I saw were two friends
hugging. I’m sorry I should go” The girl started walking away

Bette felt guilty “Hey! wait”

The girl stopped and turned to look at Bette

“I’m sorry you didn’t deserve that” Bette walked up to the
girl and extended her hand out to shake the girl’s hand “I’m Bette”

The girl had a perplex look on her face she shook Bette’s
hand “I know who you are. We’ve only been going to school together for the last
four years”

Bette laughed “I know. You’re Tina right?”

She smiled at Bette “Yes”

Bette pointed over to Shane “Then you must know she’s Shane
my best friend, no more like my sister”

“Hi Shane” Tina waved

Shane smiled back “Hey Tina. Bette I’m gonna head out, I’ll
be in my room if you want to talk some more”

Bette nodded “Thanks Shane. I’m just going to stay here a
while longer”

“Alright, bye Bette, bye Tina”

“Bye” Both Bette and Tina said in unison

Tina looked at Bette “I guess I’ll leave you…”

Before Tina could finish Bette interrupted Tina “No you can
stay if you like, unless you don’t want to be seen with me and be known as a
lesbian lover”
