“And I’ve heard some interesting stuff about certain football players that have to bring their girlfriends flowers for being *****.” Tina countered.

Dana shrugged. “I guess your right. Just promise me that you’ll be careful. I don’t want to see you getting hurt.”

“Cross my heart.” Tina giggled and followed Dana into the school

Alice sighed to herself as she walked into her homeroom and saw that Helena was gesturing for her to join them. Alice signed her name on the attendance sheet and took a deep breath before turning around and walking toward the table. “Morning Alice.” Gabby looked at her and Alice met her dark eyes and froze. Just the sound of Gabby’s voice had made her forget the words that were just about to roll off of her tongue.

“Uh, g-g-g, uh, good morning.” She said as she sat down trying to keep her head bent until her cheeks stopped burning. When she looked up she saw that Helena was looking at her. “What?” She asked.

“Just wondering how your project is coming along?” Helena asked.

Alice looked at her defiantly. “It’s none of your business. I don’t think that there was anything in our agreement that said that I should give you daily reports.” Alice didn’t shy her eyes away from the other girl this time, but met them with a fierceness in her eyes that she had never felt before.

Gabby chuckled amused at the display between them. She loved it when Girls made asses out of themselves for her. “Maybe you’ve finally met your match, darling.” She said mimicking Helena’s nickname for her. Helena’s eyes flashed for a second before she calmed her temper and turned toward her girlfriend. “Well, as you know, I’m always up for a challenge.” She replied calmly before leaning over and kissing Gabby very deeply to the point of the two of them becoming breathless. Alice looked on teeming with jealousy.

“Why don’t you three just hole up and ***** each other blind already. Then everyone is a winner.” Bette had been watching them incredulously, wondering all of the sudden why she was still sitting at the table listening to them. And why Alice had let herself get sucked into her current situation. She seemed like she would be a nice girl under normal circumstances. And Personally she didn’t think that Gabby DeVeaux was anything special. Bette stood up to gather her things, “I’m working on my project for the gallery. So regrettably, I won’t be joining you for lunch today. I’ll see all of you tomorrow.” Bette turned to walk out the door rolling her eyes at the others before she reached the door.
