Bette: Angelica we already talked about this…you are to stay away from that girl until I have had the chance to speak to her mother.

Angie: but mommy she is my best friend.

Bette: Angie! This is not up for discussion do you understand me?

Angie: Yes ma’am

Bette: ok baby…here give mama a kiss.

Angie reached over to kiss Bette on the cheek then hugged her before getting out the car.

Bette: I love you honey!

Angie: I love you too mom.

Angie then ran over to Ms. Williams class in got in line, Christie was just a few children ahead of her in place. Christie waved at Angie but Angie looked at her then looked away, this cause Christie small heart to break, she thought that Angie didn’t want to be her friend anymore.

This scene didn’t go unnotice by Bette who was still in the car watching her daughter from afar. She felt bad for telling Angie to stay away from Christie but she couldn’t allow her daughter to be apart of whatever it was that Christie’s family was going through.

Around Noon….

Tina was cleaning up her house trying to erase the memories of last night.  Her mind was filled with thoughts of her husband, Marcus, and the woman who came through her door last night. She knew she needed to make amends with Marcus, he had always been there for her and the way she treated him last night wasn’t fair, but first she would go over to Angie’s mother house to apologize, but she then realized that she had no clue which house the woman lived in. She decided to take a walk down the street to hopefully see the woman outside but it was the middle of the day and maybe the woman could be at work, but it was worth a try. After about twenty mintues walking up and down the street Tina came up empty handed and decided to go to the nearest furniture shop to buy new things that had been broken last night by her abusive husband.

After School…

Tina pulled up to the curb to wait for her daughter to come out, about five mintues later Bette pulled up and park in front of her. As Bette’s car was passing Tina’s, Tina got a glimpse of the woman and sighed, she had finally seen the woman who she was looking for. Tina got out of the car and walked over to Bette’s car and tapped on the window. Bette jumped when she heard the small tap and looked out the window staring Tina right in the face. She hesitated at first but she knew her and the lady would have to talk eventually.

Bette rolled down her window.

Bette: Hello can I help you?

Tina: yes im sorry for tapping on your window…I hope I didn’t scare you.

Bette: no it’s fine…

Tina: um you’re Angelica’s mother right?

Tina knew that was a stupid question to ask but this was awkward and she was nervous as hell, so it was the only thing she could think of to start the conversation.

Bette: yes I am…we met last night…I mean…

Bette felt bad for bringing up last nights event obviously this woman was nervous already, she didn’t want to add to her emotional distress.

Tina: no you’re right we did see each other last night but we didn’t formally introduce under the circumstances….hi I’m Tina Kennard nice to meet you!

Bette: Bette Porter…it’s a pleasure.

Both women shook hands.

Tina: I just wanted to see if we could talk for a mintue, plus we never been acquainted and seeing that our daughters are best friend we probably will be seeing each other alot.

Tina gave Bette a small smile…she knew the brunette wasn’t keen on getting to know her but she was just trying to light the tension in the air.

Bette: sure

Both women was silented for a few seconds.

Bette: omg im sorry im being rude let me step out of the car…

Bette thought for a moment.

Bette: or you could sit inside my car if you will like.

Tina: yea that would be better.

Tina walked over and got inside Bette’s car, she shut the door and looked around.

Tina: Nice car

Bette: Thank you.
