Tina: “yeah…, very nice of you to show me new places”  

This led Jane to end the topic with a remark that produced smiles and some laughs.

Jane: “some of them are not really new”

Maura, who was listening to the conversation, smiling pulled Jane from her arm and asked her to help her carrying some teaching materials to the lab.

And now here she is, looking at her image in the mirror, wow…, she never wore those types of clothes…, a very short top with straps, very low neckline, now she understands why Carmen told her that she had two choices, no wear a bra or to buy one of those for low cut dresses; she has the same feeling with that very short skirt, she bent, to be sure it doesn’t show too much…, shit…, it does; she tried pulling the skirt down but it didn’t work, then she thought, ‘perhaps I should wear a coat over these clothes, anyway, its already October and it’s getting fresh’ at that moment there is a knock on her door and Carmen enters, bringing a pair of high heels shoes that the blonde has never used before.

Tina: “Carmen, I think I should change clothes, I look like a prostitute”

Carmen: “hmm…, no, Tina, Bette is going to love it”

Tina: “yes…, Bette and all the lesbians in that beach…, no I can’t wear these”

Finally, Carmen convinced Tina to wear the clothes with a very thin summer lace cardigan that barely covered until one inch below her skirt, when they left the bedroom, Marina and Jenny were waiting in the living room; they also used to go to Revere beach.

Marina: “Tina, you look fabulous”

Jenny: “yes, astonishing…, a little sluttish, but really attractive”

Tina: “I better change…”

Jenny: “no, you are fine, look; all of us are dressed like you”

They all boarded Marina’s car, the Italian girl will drop Tina and Carmen in College-town, because she and Jenny will pick up other friends to go to the beach.

In the other side of campus housing, Bette, Frankie, Shane, and Alice are getting ready for the ‘bloody Friday’, Alice will drive her car taking with her, Frankie, they will meet two girls on their way to the beach; Shane will go in Bette’s car that was an old 1980 red Toyota land cruiser, with a refurbished engine and reclinable seats and a cigarette lighter receptacle partially broken which the girls usually use as ‘conquest tactic’.
