How We Do Things Here – Chapter 5
“Honestly, Bette”
Tina prayed her eyes were conveying as much sincerity as wanted them to. Bette nodded and swallowed.
“I know it’s hard coming to a new school.. um, and I want to help you. You know? I want to help you settle in, show you round and stuff.. I just thought you might need.. a friend”
Tina could help beaming. She was constantly surprised about Bette’s compassion. She was thoughtful in areas people over-looked and she cared about things many didn’t.
“Thank you, Bette. But if you’re going to be my friend, I guess you deserve some honesty on my part.”

“Dana!”
There was a cry from behind them as they walked out to their cars. Alice had driven Dana home from school and they’d then arrived separately at the “Sports Village”. Both girls turned to find Lara holding what appeared to be Dana’s bag. Dana doubled back while Alice waited, arms crossed.
After talking for a little while, Dana turned back to Alice.
“Erm, Al. You go ahead, I’ll meet you there.” She said.
“Yeah, ‘cause I didn’t come here for you or anything” Alice spat sarcastically.
Alice shot Dana a look and got in her car. She was realistic. She knew she was jealous of Lara, but that didn’t mean she’d admit it. Not out loud.

They’d moved back to the table at Tina’s request. Bette watched the blonde, wondering what it was plaguing her.
“What’s wrong, T?” Bette said, quietly. She was looking intently at Tina. The nickname hadn’t registered with her.
Tina tilted her head at the shortening of her name. It sounded really good coming from Bette. Once again, her lips tugged upwards involuntarily. She couldn’t help it, Bette just radiated calm and peace. It had a startling effect on her.
“You called me T” She said, beaming at Bette.
“Oh.. Yeah. Sorry, I just-“
“It’s ok.” Tina had cut her off. “I like it.”
Eyes met over a table in a crowded café and the two girls felt the primary stirrings of an immense force. Their day had been Love’s equivalent of ‘the Calm before the Storm.’ And now both were preparing to feel the full throes of true passion.

AD this chapter was great. I must admit I miss the banter of both Al and DAne they were so good at it,,,,and so happy that Tina admitted what she felt about Bette, can’t wait for more.
Hi my TFC friend! Of course we know but she doesn´t and that is wrong! But Bette will show it to her! :DAlice and Dana rulllleee! Shane and Carmen`s part was cool! :D Thanks for writting that!Well my TFC friend this chapter is very good and please post more soon!And one more thing…TFC RULES! :D
Don’t sell yourself short. I was totally into this chapter. Tina is nervous, scared, confused..but honest. This is going to be a delicate situation for Bette..since her reputation for having dated around so much might scare Tina if Alice starts letting her mouth run. PPS.
Alice needs to stop letting grass grow under her feet where Dana is concerned and leave Bette’s business to her. If I know her she can handle the situation without Alice screwing things up, no matter how well intentioned she is.
AAWwww, both girls admitted to be drawn to the other. That is the first step in getting to know one another. I just love Tibette stories.
They are so cute and love B&T !
Dawww yeahhhh! So cute between Bette and Tina, and Alice is really pissing me off.
This was a good chapter Angel. Alot got said. Now lets move on to some more serious stuff. Please! PPS!!
