“Well, feel free to… come in whenever you feel like a good… talk, Tina,” Jodi smiled.

“I will.” Never do that, she added in thought. She stood up and as she was walking to the door, she felt Jodi’s eyes burned on her ass. The thought alone made her sick.

“So, how did it go?” Tim asked when they first saw each other again, during break in the teacher’s room.

“Perfect,” Tina smiled. “Helena was right – Jodi is so easy.”

“Well, to a woman she is. Don’t think I’ll ever get something I ask for. She won’t even let me buy some new balls!”

Tina chuckled. “That sounded wrong, Tima.”

Since she had escaped Jodi’s office, there seemed to be an undertone to everything. The principal had even managed to make two things sound dirty in one sentence and it seemed to be contagious.

“Come on, you know what I mean,” Tim said, taking a sip of his coffee.

“Yeah. You know, I’ll see what I can do for you. She told me I could go… talk to her anytime.”

Tims face changed entirely. “The idea is just so gross!”

Tina pretended to pout. “What? You don’t like the idea of her and me, naked and sweaty?”

“I like the idea of you naked and sweaty alright, but her?”

They were seated in a far corner of the teacher’s room where nobody could hear them. “So, are you still up for tonight?”

“Sure.”

“Great. Look, I’ve got to go. I have to pick a book up in my car. I’ll meet you tonight!”

“See you.”

Tina walked to the opposite side of the room, towards the door. When she opened it, she saw a familiar figure standing there. It was Bette Porter, looking nervous and adorably cute. Tina felt a surge of warmth go through her, she wanted to hold this girl so badly. She quickly recomposed herself and asked: “Hey, can I help you?”

Bette looked dumbfounded. It was as if she were having a revelation, her eyes wide and her mouth open, as if she had been about to say something.

“You alright?”

“Yes, yes, I’m so sorry.” A blush crept up her cheeks and Tina couldn’t help but smile. What was there not to love about this girl? She was beautiful, smart, cute, shy…

“Is… is ms P – Peabody in t-there?”

“I’m sorry, I haven’t seen or heard her – and believe me, if she were there I would have. Do you want me to tell her something?”

“N-no. It’s alright. I’m terribly sorry.”

“What for?”

“I don’t know.” And with those words, Bette was gone with the wind. Tina frowned her eyebrows – something was really wrong for this girl to be so embarrassed about everything she did.
