Chapter 4: First of many

Yale University, 17 years ago Tina’s POV

It was a few days after I had spoken with Bette in the library; we hadn’t really seen each other due to Bette’s art and art history practice finals but tonight we had all planned to meet up at the gay bar that Shane, Alice and Dana had gone to a few nights ago.

She looked incredibly hot in her black silk shirt, pinned striped pants and black boots. I could barely breathe
