Why? Why do I care so much about my stupid friend flirting with another one of my friends? Who happens to be a lesbian of course… Wait… Julia is not a lesbian…

“Tina? Honey? Could you look at me when I’m speaking to you?” Julia sounded annoyed.

“What?” Tina asked also annoyed while she turned around to face her high school friend.

“Have you heard anything I have just said to you? And why do you look like that one time that we lost the soccer championship final?”

“I’m tired Jules… we’ve been studying non stop all afternoon… you know… it’s finals season…”

“Anyway… Bette looks like a fun person to hang out with… do you think we could… you know… go out with her and her friends or… I don’t know… something?”

Oh dear God! Tina’s stomach made a flop at the mere thought of Julia’s flirting.

“Yeah… whatever” Tina dryly answered.

Julia became aware of Tina’s demeanour changing, but it probably was tiredness, after all she was beat as well.

“You know… Brian’s friend Mark, is having a party somewhere near campus… why don’t we get dressed and go have a little fun? We do deserve it TK… like you said, we’ve been studying ALL afternoon”

Tina was still annoyed at Julia’s reaction and was not in the mood for any party, or to see neither Brian nor anyone for that matter. But she gave it a second thought, after witnessing her friend’s little scene she indeed needed a strong doze of alcohol.

Meanwhile Bette was downstairs, ready to abandon her essay and go get some fresh air with Shane. She desperately needed not to think tonight, and that usually required alcohol, big amounts of it. Finding Shane on a Saturday night was easy, so she picked an outfit from her closet and a little bit of makeup and out she was.

“Hey Bette! What’s up?” Shane was extremely surprised to see her friend at the club.

“Mmmm nothing much” Bette was clearly the new center of attention for all the ladies in that club, besides Shane of course.

“I thought you had a lot of work to do tonight” Shane was certain something had happened for her friend to change her mind about going out, especially in finals season. And she was also pretty sure that that reason probably involved Tina.

“Ahhh yeah… but I’ve been at it all day… so I thought… what the hell… a couple of hours won’t kill me”

Shane had been eye fucking a beautiful brunette who was dancing with a pretty blonde, but there was nothing to their dance that would indicate anything more than a friendship between them. Bette noticed this and released a sigh.

“Do I have to?” She asked defeated. Shane looked at her with a grin.

“Do you have anything better to do in those couple of hours?” And as soon as she finished that sentence she started heading for the dance floor.

Once they had reached their destination the brunette was all over Shane and the blonde, well the blonde had no problem with what she got stuck with. After dancing for a few songs, Shane pointed at a table in the corner that by some miracle was empty.

Once they were seated Shane started whispering something to the brunette’s ear that caused her to visibly shiver.

“Bette, I’m going to get ourselves some drinks. Do you guys want something?”

“Ahhh wait… I’ll go with you” And now addressing the blonde that was sitting next to her. “I’m sorry the music was so loud that I couldn’t quite hear your name”

“Ohh don’t worry, I didn’t get yours either” The blonde was visibly exited to be sitting at that table and in that company.

“I’m Bette, can I get you something to drink?” She said giving her companion that million dollar smile of hers. The blonde melted.

“I’m Alice… and a beer would be fine, thank you”
