Carmen can feel her stare but she knows that she’s with someone else. She tries to pretend like she can’t feel her eyes on her. She pulls her hair back out of her face and closes her eyes to soak in the music. Finally she gives in to her urge and scans the mob of drunk girls dancing in front of her. She can’t find Shane anywhere. Carmen frowns and continues. Who was burning the whole in her if it wasn’t Shane?

She feels the cold top of a beer bottle touch her bare skin on her shoulder. “Thought you might be thirsty.” Her voice whispers so close to her ear she can feel her breath on her neck. She takes an extra second before turning to greet her.

“Well that was thoughtful,” she smiles taking the beer.

Shane just shrugs. “I do what I can. Besides, I needed an escape.” Shane looks towards a girl in the crowd who waves at her frantically. Shane slowly waves back faking a smile. “I think she wants to rape me.”

“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” Carmen laughs sipping her beer.

“If you want her go ahead.”

“I’m good, thanks.”

“I’ve never actually seen Shane chase after somebody before,” Bette says a little confused.

“I don’t know guys, I mean, her and Jenny got really close after they moved in too, what if she’s just being nice? I don’t think we should make something out of nothing.”

“I honestly just wish they could get it on and get it over with,” Alice says with a sigh. “It’s driving me crazy trying to figure out what’s goin’ on between them.”

“Then why don’t you just let it go?”

“Tina, have you ever known Alice to be the type of person to just let something go?” Dana asks as her and Helena join the table.

“What were you talking about anyway?” Helena asks. Alice points up to Shane and Carmen who are laughing; Carmen puts her hand on Shane’s stomach and gives her a friendly push. “Not that again…”
