Are you sure that is smart Bette, I mean she has only been there for a couple of weeksshe needs to learn you know! (Alice patted herself on the back for recovering)

Bette: Im sure its fine if she misses one day of Kindergarten Alice. I doubt that St. Marys will kick her out if she is absent one day

Alice: St. Marys! (Oh shitAlice thinks to herself) I hear that is a good schoolso Betteumhow are the teachers theregood? I hear that some of the teachers at these private schools are leaving to teach public schoolsAlice had no idea what she was talking abouther reporter instincts were kicking in and Alice needed to know if this was the same St. Marys that she was thinking about

Alice: Well that should be a blast! Alice was being sarcastic but Bette couldnt catch itAlice knew what was going on but Bette was totally in the dark Well Bette, I gotta go, Ill call you when I get in okay so we can set something upgood luck tomorrow with meeting the teacher

Bette: YeahthanksIll talk to you later Al, bye! Bette was wondering why Alice was being so weird while hanging up the phone. Bette felt a gentle tugging at her pants and looked down to find Jenna in her pjs and a book in her hand. Okay Jenna lets go get you into bed and read you a story. Bette walked Jenna into her room and got under the covers with her. Jenna fell asleep quite quickly and Bette lay next to her for a while. Then Bette closed her eyes and fell asleep as well.

The next morning they were running late. Bette quickly made Jenna breakfast and headed out the door. Come on JennaAuntie has to meet your teacher today. Jenna just smiledshe loved her new teachershe was pretty, funny and really nice, and hoped that her Auntie liked her just as much. Bette held onto Jenna as they made there way into the classroom Bette looked at her watchShit! We are 10 minutes late Bette could hear a womans voice coming from insideit sounded familiar to hershe opened up the class room door and all eyes shot toward Bette and Jenna. Jenna ran off to sit with her friends but all Bette could do was stare at the woman who was talking to the group of children

Bette: Tina?!?
