“No problem”
“Thanks”
************************************************************************
The next morning at the high school
“Good morning, I have an appointment with Ms. Rosenburg.”
“And your name is?”
“Bette Porter.”
“Okay it’s just going to be a minute, she’s with a student right now. You can just go ahead and have a seat.”
“Thanks.” She sits down for a couple of minutes when she hears the office door open.
“Okay Todd just remember to be a little more patient with Mr. Field this is his first year here.”
“Thanks Ms. Rosenburg.” He fixes his bag on his shoulder and walks out.
The secretary lets Bette know she can go ahead and go in. She cautiously walks in as
“Ms. Porter, so what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Back to formalities, I guess I deserve that, well I came to see your talented students’ work.”
“So what changed your mind?”
“Well, may I sit? (Motioning to the chair)”
“Be my guest.” She takes a seat.
“As I was saying I thought about it after you left, and I had no right to judge you or your student with out at least taking a look at his work. Many artists are out there in the world waiting to get their work well-known so I thought I’d take a look so he might not have to wait that long.”
“So you’re telling me you want to see what he has to offer before you show it in your gallery?”
“Basically, yes.”
“Well that won’t do, because I know he has more than he can offer, why do you think that I came to you?”
“Ms. Rosenburg, I came here to give him a chance”
“Yeah, a chance to crush his dream right in front of his very eyes, I won’t have that.”
“You seem to care about your students Ms. Rosenburg.”
“I do very much.”
They sit in silence while Bette thinks about what she should do. She was trying to think of a win-win agreement but couldn’t really think of anything. This was a really big risk she was taking, but she had taking many risks before which for the most part worked out for her. So this was her decision
“Okay”
“Okay?”
“Okay, Ms. Rosenburg, if you say that your students’ work is as good as you say it is than I will show his work in my gallery.”
“You will?”
“You sound surprised.”
“A little.”
“Well Ms. Rosenburg, the fire in your eyes speaks for these students here. The school board has done an excellent job in choosing an excellent principal for this school. I’ll save a small part of the wing for his work. It’s not too big but its not too small of an area either, so he should be pretty happy about that.”
“Thank you.”
“So, when can I meet him?”
“Who?”
“Your talented artist.”
“Oh yeah, of course, I believe you saw him walk out earlier.”
“The young man with the little goatee?”
“Yes”
“Polo shirt?”
“Yes”
“Khakis?”
“Yep, that’s Todd Yeager.”
“I can’t believe that”
“Okay Ms. Porter weren’t you talking earlier about judging other people.”
“Yes I was, you will not hear another peep about his appearance from me again.”
“Good. So when is the best time for you to come back? I’d imagine you have a full schedule running the Gallery.”
“Well I will give you a call back later this afternoon. Is that okay?”
“Sure, (She grabs her business card and wrote down her number on the back) here is my card and my cell number is on the back, just in case I’m not in the office or something.”
Bette smiles a little.
“Okay, I will do that.” She stands up. “Well thank you for meeting with me.”
Now
“Thank you for giving Todd this opportunity to shine.”
“Thank you for being able to see his talent, not many people are like that. I’ll give you a call.”
“Okay”
Bette turns and walks out.
TBC???

Good chapter and I agree with Seahurst and please let Bette and Tina back together. Ok post soon please, thanks!
i’m with the majority of the posters here too, why get rif of dani and then give bette another love interest other than getting back with tina…tina’s last visit was very hopeful, but it’s 2 years later now and still no progress for them…i love your writing, just a little confused
Ok are you changing the direction of the story? I’m kind of lost now, enjoying it of course, but just a little lost and naybe slightly detached from these characters. I don’t know what it is rasberry but please do continue.
dani dead WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a bit puzzled. Why get rid of Dani, if there is not going to be a B&T reunion? From the way this chapter seems, Bette may have another interest. It’s really vague right now. And, I could be totally off here. But, I thought B&T were going somewhere with the sparks still flying between them at Tina’s last visit. Hmmmmm… Ok, I’ll just have to wait and see where you’re going with this, because it’s not looking like a “happily-ever-after” B&T saga. And, it’s Ok if it’s not… (#$&^&%^$%$!) I’m sure my poor heart will mend in time. At any rate, you’re doing an awesome job writing this story! Thanks for sharing it!
oh come on u kill dani and no b&t whats with that? lol well my poor heart also hopes that this will be about b&t reuniting but anway still love the story continue puhleeeeasse
Hey, I trusted you when Bette met Dani, and I ended up loving Dani…and I will trust you again…but, I would be lying if I said I wanted Bette to get together with someone else other than Tina. Tina and Kelly are still not married (I think you threw that in there as a hint!) Anyway, I am very glad you are back writing again, I hope you do continue. Oh, and PS…I don’t understand why Victoria got so upset just because Bette wanted to see the artwork before displaying it in her gallery. Afterall, that gallery has a reputation to maintain, and I don’t know of anyone who would display someone’s artwork without looking at it first. So, I didn’t quite understand her attitude. Thanks!!! Hurry back!!
