They all walked in a horizontal straight line in the order that their cars were parked. First was Bette with black. Second was Shane with blue. Third was Carmen with red. Fourth was Alice with green, and Fifth was Helena with grey.  When Tina realized where they were going she stopped cold in her tracks.

“No way. These are yours. OMG!”

Bette laughs.

“Just get in.”

Tina screams and runs to get into the car.

“This is so awesome. And it’s a stick shift. You can drive a stick?”

“Looks that way.”

Tina hits Bette’s arm, and Bette laughs.

“Wait a minute. GT Ryders. You guys are a group aren’t you? So they call you GT Ryders because of your cars?”

“Well you’re sort of on the right track.  They call us GT Ryders because we street race every Friday and Saturday. I was afraid to tell you because I thought you might think I was too dangerous to be around.  I just didn’t want to freak you out, and I didn’t want you to stop talking to me.”

“Wow Bette. I was gonna ask you about what happened in the cafeteria, but I was afraid that I would come across as nosey, and I really like you and I just didn’t want to lose you when we only just met.  But to set your mind straight I think it is totally hot that you street race it gives you an edge.  Not that you need an edge. But knowing that you race makes me even more attracted to you.”

“Wait I didn’t know you were attracted to me before.”

“Well I was.”

“So what are you like a lesbian or something?”

“I don’t like to categorize myself.  I just like whoever strikes my interest.”

“Well I should tell you this then. Helena is into girls and she was looking at you a little too much in my opinion.”

“Aww is someone jealous.”

Bette laughs.

“I’m just saying. You might want to watch her.”

“Ok so what if I was looking at her too?  How would you feel about that?”

Bette’s jaw kind of tightened.

“That is totally your decision.  I don’t care one way or another.”

This made Tina sure of two things. One she was totally taken by Bette and two the way that Bette just reacted told her that Bette liked her back.

“So are you straight Bette?”

“That is a hard question to answer. I guess I just like whoever strikes my interest.”

“So you’re saying you are bi?”

“I’m not saying anything…………………..Do you really like Helena?”

“I thought you didn’t care.”

Bette looks over at Tina. They pull up at Pizza Hut and park.

“But if you must know then no. I do not like Helena. But I do like somebody and it’s kind of embarrassing because we just met, but I feel like I’ve known her all my life.”

They looked each other deep in the eye.  They were slowly moving toward each other to share a kiss then Carmen knocks on the window.

“Hey you two getting out or what?”

They get out of the car and all 6 of them went into Pizza Hut. They all talked and got to know Tina better. They were about to leave when Alice says.

“Hey Bette are we going to your house cause you still got to help me with my chemistry.”

“Yea. We can go now.”

“Hey why don’t we all go? We could have a study party or something. I’m sure the rest of us could find something to do at your house while you’re helping her.” says Helena.

Helena was staring at Tina when she said that. Tina started to feel a little uncomfortable and got closer to Bette.

“Ok come on then.” says Bette.
