~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five days after her dance floor rendezvous with Bette, Tina sat at her desk and stared blankly at her laptop. With her fingers poised above the keys and her mind searching for the right words to start the essay due the next day, she squinted her eyes and chewed absently on her lower lip. Tina was on the verge of a breakthrough when the dorm phone rang, shattering the illusion of concentration she’d created.
Sighing to herself, she reached for the cordless phone, glancing at the clock as she did so. It was a little after 2pm.
‘*****. Now I have less than 24 hours to get this thing written. This better be important.’, she thought.
“Hello?”, she asked.
“Hi. May I speak with Tina Kennard please.”, asked a voice that sounded vaguely familiar.
“This is she.”
“Tina, this is Sandra Murphy from McKinley. How are you?”
Tina smiled and replied, “Oh, hi Sandra. I’m doing great, how about you?”
“I’m good.”, Sandra answered. Her response was followed by a short pause. She cleared her throat and began. “Tina, the reason I’m calling is to let you know you will have this Friday off. You won’t need to come all the way down here for the program this week.”
Tina frowned at this. The tutoring program was not a chore for her, but a joy she looked forward to each week.
“Oh? What’s going on? Is Courtney sick or something? Did she move?”, asked Tina.
She could hear the hesitation in Sandra’s voice as the older woman gave her response. “No, no. It’s not that. It’s justwe’ve been asked to pair Courtney up with another tutor. And until we shift things around, it looks like we’ll have too many tutors and not enough students.”
“Oh. Well, did I do something wrong? Why was she paired up with someone else? I thought I was doing a good job.”, said Tina.
Sandra sighed heavily and closed her eyes. She didn’t want to relay the complaint given by Courtney Hawkins’ mother, but she didn’t see a way out of it. “Tina, you’ve done an excellent job. You’re one of the best student tutors we’ve ever had. You’re giving and patient and the kids love you.”

getting pushed into a corner like that can make for some interesting choices. narrow mindedness sure ticks me off. glad to see you back have missed this. thanks.

Damn this is sad and hope Tina don’s shut Bette out, they need to talk and they will go through it together. Ok post soon please, thanks!
i hate those homophobs, ignorant and arrogant…but i think tina should talk to bette because what if she won’t be able to handle it, it could be hard for her…thanks for the update, great story
The reality is cruel, yet it’s reality. We can’t change, but just face it. Tee should tell Bette. It’ll be a good way to lessen pressures and re-compose herself.
*yay* You’ve returned!! For a short while…*lol* Homophobes are really sad hypocrites. It’s amazing to observe THIS species…*grins* The truth hurts but this fic deals with real issues
I have missed your story. Poor Tina..
hansen said exactly what I wanted. and let’s think positively, only one month left to s3 start!
MTS!!!! you’re back. great post. I would like to think they are close enough that Bette will see through Tina’s fascade. B will make her see that being hurt by ignorant homophobes does not make you weak. and she needs her sweetie to get through times like these. oh MTS, make her see!! looking forward to it next time babe.
sad chapter.. GREAT to see you back thou :D hope theres another post in there somewhere thats gonna pop out soon :)
No Tina! Run to Bette!! That’s what she’s there for! I hope Bette senses that something’s off with Tina anyway. Is this foreshadowing for fifteen years later in their married life, MTS? lol
Communication is the key……I’m so glad you finally POSTED! I was having withdrawls.
