“Just to clarify, I was the Latina girl, right?” Carmen asked, raising an eyebrow at her new acquaintance.

“As far as I could tell.” Andrea chuckled.

“Good.”

Jenny ran back around, using Carmen and Andrea as human shields. Shane tried to break in-between them, but Carmen wrapped her arms around her and whispered in her ear.

“I think maybe now should be adult swim time, Shane. What do you think?”

Her fingers grazed Shane’s stomach, pulling her shirt up slightly.

“But… But you said no sex.”

“I know,” Carmen replied, still whispering, “but we really need to talk.”

“I don’t want to talk, Carmen. I’m tired.”

Carmen stuck out her bottom lip in a full-on pout, and Shane felt her skin begin to burn.  Carmen leaned back into her ear, letting her lips graze it as she spoke.

“But I wanted to discuss the definition of sex with you. There are loopholes to every law, Shane.”

Shane stared at her, trying to figure out if Carmen was just trying to get her to come back into the bedroom with her or if she was really going to get some action.

“I suppose it doesn’t matter. You know you’ll just end up there with her eventually anyway.” Shane reasoned in her head.

“Fine.” She murmured out loud, allowing herself to be dragged into the bedroom by the arm.

“I’m sorry, I forgot you were here for a minute.” Jenny chuckled, turning to her teacher.

“I figured, but it’s OK. Carmen seems like an interesting young lady.” Andrea replied, smirking.

“She is.”

“You like her, don’t you?”

“What? No! She’s my friend, and just my friend. We tried that relationship thing once, and it didn’t work out.” Jenny was stunned; she didn’t feel that way at all. At least, not anymore.

“Because she didn’t love you, not because you didn’t love her.”

“Look, Andrea, I don’t know what kind of a person I am, but I am not a liar. I don’t like Carmen like that. She is just a friend.” The stun was turning into shock and anger now, and all she wanted was for Andrea to leave.
