Shane, always the effortlessly cool one, leans against the bar and scans the crowd. Her eyes land on Carmen, a fiery and magnetic DJ spinning tracks in the booth. Shane smirks, already planning her approach.

Shane: (to Alice) I’ll catch you later.

Alice: (grinning) Go get her, Shane.

Alice drags Dana to the dance floor, where they start dancing awkwardly at first but soon loosen up, laughing and spinning each other around.

Meanwhile, Bette orders a drink, leaning against the bar and watching the crowd. She’s approached by an attractive woman with dark hair and a confident smile.

Woman: You look like you could use a dance partner.

Bette: (smirking) Do I?

Woman: Definitely. Come on.

Bette hesitates for only a moment before following her to the dance floor. The two-start dancing, their movements in sync, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. The woman pulls Bette closer, and they share a heated kiss in the middle of the crowd. But as soon as it happens, Bette’s mind flashes to Tina the warmth of her smile, the way her eyes lit up when she talked about painting.

Bette pulls back abruptly, her expression shifting from confidence to guilt.

Woman: (confused) Something wrong?

Bette: (forcing a polite smile) I just remembered I have somewhere I need to be. Excuse me.

Tina’s Dorm Room

Tina is in her room, sprawled on her bed, sketching idly in her notebook. Her walls are decorated with posters and her own artwork, giving the space a colorful and personal vibe. Her phone buzzes on the bedside table, and she glances at it, half-hoping it’s a text from Bette. It’s not, so she sets it back down with a small sigh.

A knock at the door startles her, and she gets up to answer it. She opens the door to find Bette standing there, slightly out of breath, her hair slightly messy from the club.

Tina: (surprised) Bette? What are you doing here? Wait how did you find my room.

Bette: (pausing for a moment) I have my wyas that’s not important (then smiling softly) I couldn’t stop thinking about you.

Tina leans against the doorframe, her expression a mix of curiosity and amusement.

Tina: Wow.. Should I be flattered or worried?
