Flash back moment……..

Fred: “I told you she was off limits, jesus Loo what were you thinking?”

Loo: “I wasn’t thinking that’s the point Fred. I was drunk how was I supposed to control myself you’ve seen what she does to me”

Fred: “I bloody warned her off months ago”

Loo: “you did?”

Just then Tina walks in to the dorm to find her 2 best friends squaring up to one another.

Tina: “hey what’s going on?” Tina stepped between the 2 of them, and they both shrunk back.

Fred: “nothing Tina, don’t worry”

Loo: “you trying to protect her as well eh Fred?” Loo turned her back to Fred and lit another cigarette, moving to the window she sat on the ledge.

Loo: “What is it Fred you think she isn’t old enough to know, what she comes from the wrong back ground…. Come on explain to me”

Fred: “loo don’t please”

Loo: “please what Fred? You worried she won’t understand?”

Tina: “understand what?” Tina turned to look at Fred.

Tina: “tell me what Fred, what is she going on about?”

Fred: “loo that’s enough”

Loo: “How long have we all been friends? Don’t you think it’s time that the lies stopped… I hate all this” she banged her fist against the window ledge, fear and anger building inside of her.

Fred crossed to Loo and put a hand on her shoulder: “ok Loo, ok…. It’s time”

Loo looked up into Fred’s eyes, tears glistening there, but refusing to fall.

Fred turned back to the opened mouthed Tina.

Fred: “Tina take a seat”

Tina sat down on her neatly made bed: “what lies?”

Fred: “we’ve wanted to tell you this for ages…”

Tina: “you hate me don’t you? I knew it…. It’s because I am so different to both of you!” Tears began to fall from Tina’s eyes.

Both Fred and Loo were immediately at her side.

Fred: “no Tina, you’ve got it wrong….. Of course we don’t hate you, we love you. Your one of us!”

Loo: “yeah T, with out you there wouldn’t be an US”

Tina looked into Loo eyes: “Really?”

Loo: “really”

Tina: “so what is it then?”

Fred took a deep breath: “me and Loo are gay” sudden silence.
