Tina: “I have a meeting in a half hour so I had to call you about lunch now”

Bette: “Ohh, a meeting. Fun.” she teased

Tina: “Oh indeed. So what’s your afternoon like?”

Bette: “Uh I think im free” she leafed through her day planner. “Why?”

Tina: “I’ve been found out and you presence has been requested”

Bette: “You’ve been found out?”

Tina: “Yeah, it seems you have some kind of effect on me. I promised Brenda I would bring you by after lunch today”

Bette laughed and agreed to the strangers wishes.

-The Planet-

Tina walked in to the planet around twelve fifteen and just as she guessed Bette wasn’t there yet. She was never on time; she’d be late for her own funeral if she could. She was about to pick up her cell phone to find out Bette where abouts when she saw Ben walk out of the bathroom. Tina noticed exactly what Alice saw earlier, he looked like *****. His eyes were bloodshot, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look like he hadn’t slept for days.

Tina: “Ben?”

Ben was almost right next to his sister and didn’t even notice her.

Ben: “Oh, hey Tina.” he said trying to cover his face.

Tina: “What’s going on you look like *****?”

Ben: “Thanks” he laughed. “Nothing’s going on I’ve just been busy this week, that’s all”

Tina: “What are you doing at the planet, don’t you have class today?” she knew something was up.

Ben: “Yeah in like an hour, mom. Im just meeting a friend first.”

Tina: “Youre meeting a friend? Here?”

Ben: “Yeah, there she is now.” he pointed at the same thin girl Bette and Alice saw earlier. “This is Shane, Shane this is my sister Tina”

Shane: “Hey, nice to meet you” she said in a low almost hypnotizing voice.

Tina: “Hey”

Ben: “Well I gotta run, I talk to you later” he started to walk away.

Tina: “Hey Ben, you wanna do something this weekend?”

Ben: “Oh, I can’t im going up to Vancouver for a few days. I’ll be back on Tuesday though. I’ll call you.” he said quickly making an exit.

Tina could tell there was something up. His crypitcness and lack of appearance worried her.
