‘She looks like shit,’ Bette, Jenny, and Shane thought.

‘God, she’s so beautiful,’ Dana thought. She outstretched her arms and Alice stood up and clung onto Dana’s neck. She was in so much pain, she didn’t care if people at the nearby tables were watching. Dana lifted her up and Alice’s legs instinctively wrapped around her waist. She tried so hard not to blush. Her hands wrapped around Alice’s lower back.

"You smell good. What are you wearing?" Alice whispered. Her breath was tickling Dana’s ear, not making the situation any less tense.

"Um….perfume," Dana answered.

"Mmmmmmm," Alice moaned.

Dana wanted to get Alice off her now. If she wasn’t careful, she would end up doing something rated PG-13 pretty soon. She took a step and almost lost her balance.

Bette, who was finding the whole situation to be god-darn adorable, was able to grab a hold of Dana’s hips and steadied her.

"Sorry," Dana immediately replied.

"Just fucking take me there already," Alice said. She actually didn’t want to leave Dana’s arms. She was starting to feel comfortable in her spot. It was like her body molded into Dana’s shape. Her cramps told her otherwise. "Huuuuurry!"

Dana didn’t need any more convincing. She sprinted to the nurse’s office.

Tina who was witnessing the Dana/Alice love story, diverted her attention back to Bette who was smiling like a fool along with the other two girls by her. They high-fived each other. Tina must have thought it was their scheme to bring Alice and Dana together. She smiled, she had done that so many times to numerous couples but none of them lasted for more than two months. The school bell rang, signalling the end of lunch. Soon, the entrances to the cafeteria were being suffocated with students.

Henry and Hudson were wrestling on the stage and Tina ending up watching them, cheering for Henry.  After the boys’ testosterone weared down, she looked out at the cafeteria again to find Bette. But she was gone. It was okay, she had all the time in the world to stare at Bette during the tutoring session this afternoon.

Bette took up all the oxygen she can and opened the door to Mrs. Espinosa’s classroom. Students that were already seated were suprised she actually showed up. Many were betting that she would try to get out of school or ditch for a few weeks. Nadia wasn’t in her seat in the back of the room.

Mrs. Espinosa looked up from the newspaper and called to Bette before she could sit down. Soon, Bette was right in front of her.

"Are you okay? Listen, you can always get your schedule changed."

Tina slammed the door open and made her grand entrance. She looked at Bette who stared and felt her face grew hot. She quickly looked at the tiles, almost running into the wall. She shuffled to her seat, turning her body all the way around to the periodic table on the back wall.

"Mrs. Espinosa, it’s okay. This is still one of my favorite classes," her eyes looked at Tina’s back. Her blonde hair flowed down her back. Bette always had a thing for blondes. "Maybe for more reasons than one," Bette mumbled before returning to her seat.
