"Yea, we planned that, so let me shower quick and we can go eat."  Bette smiled back and was left to think of why she asked again?  She must look like doof, keep asking as if I am desperate !  Bette berated herself silently to just be a cool captain. No big deal, its lunch its play book stuff.  They both had showered quickly and met out in front of the lockers.

"hey Bette, you ready…you sure you want to go eat right? Haha"  Tina was poking fun at Bette and her numerous times for asking regarding lunch.

"Yes Tina, I mean uh…really funny rookie!"  Bette playful pushed Tina as she laughed it off.  They head over to the cafeteria with usual talk of college and what to do when Bette was finished with college.

"Well I hope to do more with my cinema and do more shooting or photography.  I like getting the right light and seeing a moment versus directing so much with actors…so people can just see what is going on in their eyes and interaction, with out a script really. I am rambling, really I am just into really good or amazing cinematography and showing a different world I see through a lens…does that make sense?"  Tina nodded and was sort of entranced with what Bette was saying, it was almost the same passion she had for her artwork.

"I think artists in anyway one wants to represent their work is amazing.  Yes, there is some crap out there, and its just a niche we all have to find so that we can express ourselves to the world and those we want to share with."  Tina liked to discuss things other than football for once, so this was nice, to just talk about anything.

"Wow, its nice to hear something similar to how I feel about art and different ways to say ‘this is me.’"  Tina was eating her gigantic sandwich, which Bette noticed and chuckled.

"My, my Tina, didn’t your mom teach you to eat in small bites? "  Tina looked up with quizzical look in her eye and grinned.

"Well I am not gonna eat this whole beast now and plus I recall you wanted to show something that was football related, so I am rushing to see it!"  Bette got nervous at the last words that Tina said.  Bette was all for showing Tina what she wanted to show her, she was anxious to what Tina’s reaction would bring to their new friendship after she saw it.

"Right you are, still slow down, we can’t have you chocking!  We just got you on the team, no need to find another rookie!"  Tina opened her jaw and laughed.

"Right, you hate change..okay Porter I will slow  down, as I eat tell me more about your work."  Tina winked at Bette and they continued their chat on art, home life, and life after football.  The long break couldn’t be more perfect for them both.  They stood up and walked towards the locker hall.  Bette was taking her sweet ass time fearing the worse could come out of this.  Tina could see worry in the brunettes eye, she took a chance and took Bette’s hand.

"Look if its just a photograph don’t worry I am sure its beautiful, amazing, it will show how you express your work as you always have.  I have seen your work at the school gallery.  I am excited, so don’t fret so much Porter.’" Tina let go of Bette’s hand, still tingling from holding it for a minute and wanted to hold it again.  Tina thought best to wait for Bette to make the move to hold it again.

"Okay Tina, just when you see it you will let me explain..okay?"  Bette seemed to almost have tears in her eyes as she spoke softly in the locker room.  Tina nodded and turned to Bette’s locker.  Tina’s mouth opened in awe and appreciation.

"Wow Bette…its perfect.."
