One and Only – chapter 4
“What friend is this ?”
“I have no idea – I didn’t know she had any friends – the school didn’t think so “
“It is a lie ?”
“You said it yourself – Bette doesn’t know how to lie “
“I guess we will find out soon enough – I will go and take a shower and shave again. I picked my suit up from the dry cleaners as well – I am going to inspect it”
“Okay dear “
Just before 6:30pm the front door to the apartment opened and a few minutes later Bette walked in. she was carrying her sports bag- the one that Rosemary hadn’t seen in months. Her hair was damp – she looked like she had been swimming
“Hello dear”
“Hi “ Bette said “Is it okay if I wash my things straight away ?”
“Of course – use the half wash cycle”
Bette knelt on the floor and unpacked her bag – her wet towel that smelt of chlorine and her black swim suit. She also lifted out a pair of socks
“I dropped my socks in the shower “ she explained and put them into the machine. Once she had sorted the load she adjusted the dial, put in a washing capsule and closed the door. She stood and checked her actions before setting it off running and smiled at her mother.
“Did you have a good swim ?”
“I did “
“Where did you go ?”
“My friend lives with her grandmother and they live in an apartment over looking the park – they have a pool in their building “
“Your friend ?”
Bette knew this was coming
“Shane – you have met Shane at school before “
“I don’t remember her “
“She’s the one who was expelled from three schools ”
“Oh – the very thin girl “
“Yes”
“Androgynous looking “
“Yes”
Rosemary was about to tell Bette that she wasn’t sure if this girl was suitable company for her but she stopped herself. If Bette had a friend – any friend it was worth encouraging the relationship
“Would you like to invite her to tea ?”
“I don’t know – I am going to my room for a bit – is there anything you want me to do ?”
