“Hello?”

“Good morning sleepy head.” She smiled when she heard Dana’s voice. “I thought I give you a wake-up call.”

“Well thank you, I’m surprise you’re so chirpy in the morning after last night.” Dana laughed softly.

“I know, but it’s the big day. I need you to get up and get ready. We gotta get to the courts.”

“Alright babe, I’m getting up.” Alice sat up in the bed. “Where are you?”

“I’m down stairs in the lobby. I’ve called everybody else, but no one picked up in Shane and Carmen’s room.”

“That’s weird, but I’m getting up. I’ll see you in a bit.”

“Alright, I love you.”

“I love you too.” Alice hung up the phone and shot out of bed. She ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

            Tina was getting her clothes on as Lauren got out of the bathroom with a towel around her. Tina turned around and smiled at her as she walked over to the bed. Lauren began to dry herself off and grabbed the lotion.

“So what do you think of Bette?” Lauren looked at Tina.

“I don’t know, I really didn’t get a chance to actually meet her.” Tina nodded.

“But what you know of her, what do you think?” Lauren sighed as she slipped into her panties.

“She seems really strong-headed and knows what she wants. She seems nice.” Tina scoffed. “What?”

“Bette Porter nice, I don’t think so.”

“Why are you getting mad?”

“I’m not getting mad.”

“Yeah you are, you asked me what I think of Bette, and you became mad.” Tina shook her head as she grabbed her jacket.

“I’ll meet you down stairs.” Tina walked out of the room, and Lauren got dressed.

            Alice walked down to Shane and Carmen’s room. She knocked on the door to wait for an answer. She raised her hand to knock again, but the door opened. Carmen appeared at the door with her things. Alice laughed nervously.

“Where you going?”

“Al, I’m sorry, but I can’t stay.” Carmen started to walk, but Alice stopped her by her shoulders.
