Alice Pieszecki, who was seated next to her, marched to the back of the room. She was able to keep her homosexual lifestyle a secret. Her colorful outfit and jingling keys caught the class’ attention.

"Excuse me but I’m pretty sure that that was uncalled for. I understand that making fun of others is the only you’re good at. But sweetie, can I call you sweetie, no one likes that in a girl. You’re the reason girls today are called bitches. It’s no wonder guys turn gay. You can go on with this act of yours but know this attitude turns so many guys off and increases the percentage of faggots. So thank you. But please shut that big mouth of yours, you breath is circulating the room and so is the smell. No one in here needs to know the smell of the principal’s dick."

Nadia’s jaw hit the ground. Tina, who would have died of laughter was flabbergasted. The rest of the students tried to hide their laughter, knowing Nadia might tackle them next. Mrs. Espinosa did not know whether to applaud or send the two down to the principal’s offic.

Alice sat back down with a triumphant smile. Hopefully, her best friend felt better. But her smile faded as she saw the tears welled up in Bette’s eyes.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Espinosa can I go to the bathroom?" Bette managed to get that out without her voice cracking. However, her sadness was felt from her sniffles. Everyone, including Tina who was still in the same position since Alice left, sensed that Bette needed to breakdown.

"Go ahead Bette," Mrs. Espinosa said sympathetically.

The room was silent as Bette gathered her things and left. The door closed slowly as everyone heard Bette’s frantic footsteps. Anyone who had a heart had their heart broken at that moment. Bette was one of most lovable students at Hazen. She was artistic, athletic, intelligent, and had the kindest heart ever.

Tonya, a member of the "bitches and jerks" club at the back of the room, broke the silence. "I thought dykes were supposed to be tough."

"I know right," Tina responded, unfazed from the whole incident.
