More Than a Feeling
“Sure.” Bette turned and smiled at Tina, easing the concern she didn’t know she was experiencing until it subsided.
“You wanna come over to my house today–” Tina was cut off by Bette’s skeptical stare, and put her hands up. “To tutor me! I can’t stay after school today. I have to walk Jagger. Tim can’t today, he has swim practice. So will you?”
Bette thought it over for a second, and then nodded. “Okay. I’ll be there as soon as I finish with Shane.”
“Thank you!” Tina sang, skipping away. Bette watched her go, grimacing. How can I leave her behind?
—————–
Bette pulled out her textbook and looked at Shane. “So, chapter seven? I hope you finished it…since you had extra time and all.”
Shane pulled out a crumpled piece of paper without argument. Over the past few weeks, she had come to realize that Bette wasn’t going to take any negative behavior. Plus, Shane liked her anyway, so she wasn’t going to give her any crap. “I had some trouble with the last group of questions.”
Bette had gotten used to Shane’s chicken-scratch, and the crinkled paper, and looked over the answers while responding. “Let me just check these first and then…” She trailed off, concentrating on correcting the mistakes.
Shane watched Bette silently, smiling. “So, everything’s good now?”
“Huh?” Bette asked, looking up at Shane.
“Since last time?”
Bette smiled slightly and nodded. “Sort of.”
Shane didn’t pry. “Cool.”
Bette nodded, returning to her work.

The second Tina stepped inside with Jagger, the phone began to ring. “Perfect timing.” She said, releasing the dog from his leash and walking to the phone. “Hello?”
“Hey.” Dana’s voice floated over the phone.
“What’s up?”
“I have a problem.” Dana pouted.
“What is it? Wait, shouldn’t you be at tennis right now?”
“It was cancelled. Tina, listen! I only have a few minutes.”
“Well what is it?”
Dana looked around campus to see if anyone was close by. School was deserted except for a few stragglers, but they were on the other side of campus. “It’s Alice…and Lara.”
I knew it! “What about them?”
“What about them?”
“I–” Dana sighed loudly. Alice had just emerged from the school building and immediately spotted Dana, waving as she sauntered over. “Never mind. Alice saw me, she’s on her way over. I’ll call you later, kay?”

I know that Bette does not want to leave Tina but she should not give up on her dream. Tina should go to Yale and with grants and scholarships that are available she would have a chance to do just that. By Dana telling her that Bette may give up her dream then Tina will know that Bette truly loves her. Then both can go from there and work out this big decision for both of them.
Tina must go with Bette. Imagine the college stories you can do…
secrets are not good, bette has to talk to tina and dana has to talk to alice…B&T have to decide things together because they are couple…great chapter
plz plz update soon!
This is so good… I do hope Bette made a right choice for both of them and… they’re still young…. ;)
1st?
Can you say, “OH SHIT!” Dana is a crappy liar. lol I have a feeling Tina will find out about Bette and it won’t be from Bette. I know the R.E.M. song from long ago. At least now it seems to make sense.
Great to see another post from you, I love this sweet story. Bette needs to tell T, coz Dana just can’t lie!!! Post soon please…
Yeah, Bette’d better tell Tina, or I will as well! Oh my God, why is Bette worrying so much already. They still have so much time. And we all know that Tina would never let her give up her dream for her! If they are meant to be (which we all know they are), then it will work out through Yale! Please have them work it out, cause they are missing out so much right now. That little cuddle on the bed was so sweet… I agree that Tina should know soon, even if it’s not from Bette, cause I’m sure she’d make it right. I love this story, thanks Manda L!
Bette definitely needs to talk to Tina about all of this, though, honestly, Bette needs to do what’s best for herself… Anyway, SO happy to see this posted!
Great chapter Manda! Thanks! Bette should definitely tell Tina before she finds out from anyone else …
All those who are ridiculously good writers please raise your hand. Note – your hand should be raised Manda…hell, raise both hands. Now, all those who get a little too excited when they see that a post is five pages long, raise your hand. Please note – both of my hands are raised. Now that you’re posting again, maybe, just maybe, Christmas will come twice this year. As for Bette and the shadow known as Yale, let’s be honest with ourselves – that news definitely won’t be an IPR for Tina (IPR = instant panty remover…yeah, I’m aware that I am incredibly wrong for that). Regardless, I need to believe that Bette is going to tell Tina the situation sooner rather than later. As for Dana, she shouldn’t worry about filling Alice in on the feelings she’s struggling with…she’s freaking out so much that Alice will figure it out on her own. Hands up Manda – here’s your virtual high-5 for another great chapter. Please post soon and I truly hope all is well with you.
Great as always… But I dont get Bette… Love is about opening up little one! Go tell your lady!
Damn this is bad for them all, and hope Bette will talk to Tina about Yale, Dana will talk to Alice about their relationship. Post soon please, thanks!
