Trial and Error Ch. 9
"Um yeah."
"Oh," Tina said, hiding her mouth with the doorframe. If Bette saw it, she would see her pout and she wasn’t going to be the weak one in this situation.
Bette looked at her watch and saw that she already missed her bus. The next one wouldn’t arrive until forty-five minutes later. She might as well kill the time with Tina. "Can I see what you’re working on? I’m early for my bus."
"Yeah, come in," Tina said as she stepped aside letting Bette in. The teacher went to the copy room. When a teacher says that, they were gone for an awfully long time. That’s why students would try to "lose" papers so the teacher could make a run to the copy room and leave the students alone. The door suddenly slammed shut causing both girls to jump.
Tina sat down in the chair in front of her assigned computer and played the clips she’s done so far.
Bette stood transfixed. It was a film about a mother’s love for a child and showed various phtographs of mothers helping their kids and having a good time with them. There were quotes around the slides that cleverly were hidden in the pictures. It was simple but heartwarming. It ended abruptly.
"Wow that’s really something. I’m impressed." Bette looked around the room. As if all greater forces were against her, it was her and Tina alone…again.
"Thanks," Tina said as she went to fiddle with a few of the cameras that were facing the huge green screen at the back of the room. "You should tell me your speech." She knew that Bette missed the bus and that she didn’t have anything else to do. ‘Might as well kill time,’ she thought.
"Ok," Bette said. It was weird the way Tina was acting. She invited her into the class but still kept a far distance. Bette could place her siblings in a row between her and Tina. She rummaged through her book bag and took out her speech. There were wrinkles in the papers and footnotes/annotations all over but it made it look professional. She opened her mouth and started to recite it.
"Wait, come do it in front of the camera," Tina said.

How bout, right now?! LOL
the pace is great. I think Tina needs to come clean to Bette and let her know she is attracted to her. Bec right now she is acting like those silly girls i knew in high school that would flirt with u just to see how long it would take for u to reciprocate.
Maybe now or maybe later. I dont think Tina would go for it right away. She would think about her reputation first and what her other so called friends would do and that will influence her. Bette needs to do something about her feelings, maybe Shane could hook her up with her first girl. But, just my opinion. You are writing a great high school story. Can’t wait for the next post.
I would love to say right now, but I know not everything in life is instant. I agree with ladydove. Tina needs to sort out her stuff first. This is a fantastic story, do what you think is right. PPS! Happy Holidays! =)
High school angst. Ramp it up a couple more notches. They’re young, they ca stand the stress. Thanks!
CAN stand and probably need the stress to motivate them. Keep them apart until the Homecoming dance.
Real life high school experience involves conceit, cruelty, jealousy, gossip, rejection, insecurity, humiliation, clumsiness, and lots of masturbation. I’m just sayin’. But you’ve covered most of the bases thus far so I think whenever you feel the time is right…it will probably be right.
Just caught up on this story…The pace is perfect and I to think Bette should have a date with some girl, see how Tina reacts to it and so on… Please post soon
the sooner the better! :D
hm, I say… make em wait. There’s a lot I don’t think either of them are quite ready to admit, and there is still Henry, after all. Nice job, thanks :)
i’m loving the slow burn too, the pace is fine, i agree with another comment that maybe Bette could hook up with someone else first (not serious of course – just for practise!) – see how Tina would handle seeing that…Bettes had to endure it! whichever way you go though just please post soon!!
oh no ..leaving it up to us we were all thinking chapter 1…LOL LOL..seriously i maybe be able to stand more torture NOT ANOTHER CHAPTER…LOL
