Bette pulled away from Tina. “Alice if you need any help with any of your classes, I can help you.”

Alice looked at Bette and then at Tina with disgust. “No thanks Porter, I don’t need your help. I’m a big girl.” Bette just shrugged it off and finished eating her food.

Jenny took a drink of her Fiji water. “So Shane, are you going to be able to take pictures this year for me for the newspaper?”

Shane took a bite of her burger and nodded her head. “Yeah, I can do it for ya. How much?”

Jenny smiled. “Five bucks an hour.”

“It’s reasonable.”

Helena put her pen down and scooted closer to Alice. “Alice, if you need help with your classes. I’ll be happy to help you.”

Alice smiled and looked at Helena. “I would like that.How about after school today?” Bette rolled her eyes and took a drink of her pop.

“Sure, we’ll go to my place.”

Dana looked up at looked at Alice. “What about your detention?”

“***** my detention, I don’t care what Mrs. Hill says. I’ll tell my father, and he’ll fix it.”

Tonya finally pulled the phone away from her ear. “***** daddy’s girl.” Alice shot her eyes at Tonya. “So Shane I heard you were having a lil’ party this weekend?”

Shane looked away from her tray and at Tonya. “Yeah, it’s going to be the blowout of the beginning of our Senior year. So come on out to my place on Friday night.” The group nodded their heads on agreement.

Alice took a drink of her water and looked around. “Oh *****”

Shane looked at Alice. “What is it?”

“It’s Bobby” The girls looked up and saw Bobby heading their way. “I hope that he doesn’t cause a scene.”

Bobby walked up and stood behind Bette and Tina. “Hey girls.” They all said hi. “Alice”

Alice sounded irrated. “Yeah Bobby.”

“Can we talk?”

“There’s nothing to talk about. We’re done now, get the ***** out of here.”

Helena grabbed Alice’s hand and looked up at Bobby. “Robert, please remove yourself away from our table. My girlfriend doesn’t want to talk to you.”
