Tina: Well, from the pictures it looks like a nice vehicle. It certainly has a lot of technology on it. What’s the safety rating on this car.
Bette: One of the safest on the road. Front air bags, side air bags front and back. Good gasoline mileage, not excellent but good.
Tina: What kind of price range.
Bette: I have found two this model in 2018 and one in a 2019 with less than 20,000 miles for less than $15,000 each. Oh sorry, the 2019 is less than $20,000. We could have three of these for the price of one somewhat brand-new Lexis. And at this price, if we absolutely hate them, we can replace them when we get settled and have absolutely no bad feelings about them. A ruby red with black interior, a gray with black interior, and a black with gray interior. Oh, one has 22,000 miles on it.
Tina: These actually look good. We would just need to see them and make sure they are really as they are shown in these photos. Oh honey, I think we need to go see these and make a deal if we can tomorrow. What about insurance?
Bette: I’ll send an email to two of these dealerships and tell them we are interested in looking at these vehicles. I’ll call Shane’s insurance guy and tell him we are about to buy vehicles and send them a description. I arrange for a bank transfer to pay the premiums. We will put all the cars in both our names and list Angie as a driver after August 5th on the insurance. Why don’t you get these addresses and map out a schedule and a route? If we are able to get these vehicles tomorrow, then we will turn in the rental car. That will save us some money. I’m going to order car history reports on each of these cars tonight. I may email them to the insurance guy to get the insurance in place. I’m also going to do some bank transfers so we will have the cash to pay for these cars should we decide to take them.
Tina: Are we sure this is what we want to do?
Bette: I’m good with it. Are you good with it? If you have any doubts now or when we see the cars, then we won’t do it. And you get first choice on which car you want to drive as yours.

Love all the details!
Didn’t know anything about going to university and the different college houses, after reading it i would advise Angie not to join one of them. Find her own way and make her own friends, not ones who hold standards and where you can’t be yourself.
Bette, Tina, Angie and Daniel are in for a ride with all these changes in their life.
Look forward to read more!
Bibi,
Thank you for reading…. this is strictly a personal opinion on the role of sororities and fraternities – to belong to the right group and meet and know the right people. If it were not that way, they would not discriminate who should be a member and who shouldn’t. I’m sure others have their own view which would contradict mine. Such as the way life is…
My hopes in this story is to show Bette and Tina going through some normal life decisions and relationships. It is not a story of high drama…. but I am in hopes that sometime, the everyday things can cause the everyday requirement to connect and communicated with your spouse and family. I do go into some detail in Bette and Tina’s communication with Angie and later with Daniel as well as each other. I hope that the reader will see how these two create and maintain the solid relationship they have which will carry on for a life time. This will not appeal to a whole lot of people…. but I hope that when you go through these next few months with Bette and Tina, you will know them as I do.
This is a long story…. but it is complete and ready to post. Let me know the frequency you would like for me post and I will keep it coming…. Thank you for reading…
I am very proud of you for completing your story. I think k it’s nice to see them going through real life. I hope to get back in the game when I am well enough. Congratulations on your story.
Thank you for your explanation about your intentions of this story.
About the frequency of you posting, it really doesn’t matter for me, i work in the weekend every other week and then free on Thursday and Friday but i work early and late shifts. Post whenever you want and i try to read it if i have time, i promise i will read it.
I like the story. This chapter of course is your opinion. Having been to college and being a member of a sorority, I differ in my opinion of college. It’s not ALL ABOUT Greek life. They are not discriminatory. There’s also other facets of college life that make it some of the best years of a person’s life. I made life long friends, both Greek and non-Greek that made my college experience a great one. There’s a balance and all sorts of things that I feel you didn’t touch on in the explanation to Angelica. However, it’s your story and your opinion, your version. I will continue to read because you’re a great writer. I just felt this chapter was unbalanced.
Trecelovinit…. Thank you for reading…. First, I must say, this is the first of several conversation Bette and Tina will be having with Angie about college life. They will leave it up to Angie to decide if you wants to get into Greek life or not. With the continuing conversations they will have, I hope you will see there is a continuing theme in that Angie is totally in control of her life at college. That includes who she associates with, what organizations she decides to belong to, what she studies and how she spends her free time.
I think I have a different definition of discrimination. I mean to determine who should be a member and who shouldn’t on whatever basis that happens. It could be based on personality, on appearance, on social contacts or family contacts, or course of study or some other criteria which is totally not apparent to those who are being chosen versus those who are not. For everyone who desires to be a member does not get an invitation to be a member. So someone is discriminating against those they do not wish to extend an invitation in favor of those they wish to extend an invitation. And that criteria may have nothing to with color, race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, political persuasion or country of origin. But the process is discriminatory in that each house have a limited number of members. Sororities and Fraternities are social organizations based upon knowing the right people to enhance you college life and your post college life.
Yes, I am probably not presenting a balance picture… but I’m not sure that I am capable of presenting a more balance picture. This is my Bette and Tina’s view based upon their own experiences. And believe it or not, they are desperately trying to allow Angie to make up her own mind about college life when she goes off to experience it. But they do want her to see that with every benefit, there are cost. And please remember, both Tina and Bette attended college some 35 years ago. Life has changed in that period… Their experiences are not going to be the same as Angie’s experiences will be.
Thank you for your comment…
Thank you for your response. I do appreciate your perspective and responding to me. I do love the story and as I stated previously, I think your writing is great. I will continue to read. I do respect and did state that it’s your opinion and your story. I agree their time in college was 35 years ago. Honestly, it’s been 30 years for me. Things definitely do change and I appreciate different perspectives. Thank you for writing.
