With a comfortable silence, Bette finds out that she quite enjoys being with this girl.

“So…what do you what to do now?” Bette asks, immediately angry at herself, why can’t she think straight while talking to this blonde?

“Really? That’s your question?” Tina asks angrily. “I’ve already told you that I don’t want to cause any problem. If this still confused you, fine, what I mean is that I want to leave this school peacefully, why can’t you just leave me alone?”

Bette opens her mouth, cannot say a word.

“Not everyone lives a perfect life like you, Bette Porter. You need to know that right before you decide to bully others, I mean poor people in particular, like me, we didn’t born in Fairy tales or wealthy family, we have to work to make a living, we want to play but we can because we know if we don’t earn money, we won’t have food in our next meal, apart from that, our difficulties are much more then you can ever imagine.”

Tina says with an extreme cold, angry tone, Bette is stunned at her seat, her brain tingles together by what Tina just said.

The small creature finally escapes from Alice’s bag, it runs to Tina, the blonde gently holds her up to her chest.

“Thank you, buddy.” Tina pats its head gently.

“Now you totally pissed us off.”

Adele, Kelly, and Alice walk in the room, their eyes are like burning in fire.

“You humiliate us in front of others.”

“Adele…” Bette says, trying to stop Adele but she yanks her hand away.

“No, she should know that who’s she messing up with,” Adele says angrily. “This is war, Kennard, mark my words, I will hunt you, torture you and crush you until the day you kneel in front of me and beg me for my forgiveness, do you get me, you dyke?”

Without a hint of scared, Tina slightly nods.

“Clear enough.” She says as she stands up and put her bag on her shoulder. “I’ll be waiting.”

All four of them watch Tina walking to Bette, she reaches out the book that she pulled out from her buts, then gently places it on Bette’s table.

“I believe this is yours.” She says. “It’s a great poetry book, you better keep it.”

Bette looks at the book and frowns. “Leaves of Grass”? I already have one in my locker, why is she giving me this?

Tina walks out of the room with her bag and the rat in her hand, right before she steps out, she turns her body back to the gang.

“Oh, and before leaving,” Tina points at the direction of lockers. “I think it’s rude to get all your gift without giving back in return, so I clean something up for your locker, you might want to check it.”

In the same time, Bette opens the book cover, there is a beautiful handwriting ”BP” in the first page of the book. Like finally realizing something, her eyes shot wide open.

Tina nods her head one last time.

“Ladies.” Then she disappears in the hallway.

“What did she mean?” Three of them turn their head to Bette.

Bette clears her throat, looking at the book on the table, her mind is still blank.

“I think…she just broke into our locker and those books she sat on and glued on the floor…are ours”
