Both returned to work on their artwork. In the end Bette got a A+ as usual and Tina got a –A. Even though Tina’s kettle was a work of art, Bette was the gifted one of the class. She could make anything and make it look like a masterpiece.
“What did you get?” Bette asked Tina when they left class.

“-A, you?” Tina asked Bette. When Bette gave Tina a big smile she knew what Bette got.

 “Wait, don’t answer I know already.”
“Wait, what is it? Are you mad?”
“No, I’m happy for you. Really,” said Tina and Bette smiled.

 

After the gang had their first periods separated; Bette, Tina, Shane and Alice reunited for the following classes. And so did the others.

 

At lunch:
After the 5^th class the entire gangs met at the benches were they usually sat. Papi, Jenny, Dana and Carmen were the first ones there. When Bette, Shane, Alice and Tina came up to them they saw Dana and Jenny yelling, they were screaming to the point of almost getting into a physical fight. Alice hurriedly went to Dana, Bette and Papi were ready to stop them in case they started fighting.
“Dana, what’s wrong?” asked Alice coming up to Dana with Bette and Dana behind Alice.
“This Bitch keeps talking crap about you,” said Dana furious.
“Well, this bitch is right,” said Jenny before Alice can ask Dana anything.
“You listen here you little shit,” said Dana before Bette decided to end things.
“Hey! Hey!” Bette shouted to them. They stopped yelling and looked at Bette.
“We are all friends, please!” said Bette trying to calm them down, but that didn’t work.
“Friends? I wouldn’t be friends with her even if my life depended on it,” said Dana harshly. Before Bette could say anything they started arguing again.
“Yeah, me neither. I mean look at your girlfriend, I bet tonight will be a got pay for the whores,” Jenny said laughing.

 

The gang couldn’t believe what Jenny just said. Bette, Papi, Shane e got very angry, how Jenny could say such a thing they thought. Bette was going to give Jenny a piece of her mind, but someone was angrier than her. Dana launched herself at Jenny and started beating her. Before Dana did any permanent damage Bette and Papi stopped them. Bette grabbed Dana and Papi grabbed Jenny.
“Stop now! Goddamnit!” shouted Bette.
“She started this,” said Jenny out of breath.

 

Bette looked at Dana and asked her if she was alright, then Bette looked at jenny and came up to her. “Look, I don’t appreciate people insulting my friends. You insulted Alice right in front of all of us. So if you don’t mind I would like for you to leave!” said Bette getting madder. Jenny looked around like she didn’t hear what Bette told her. “NOW!” shouted Bette into Jenny’s ear, then she got the message and left. Bette turned to were Alice was comforting Dana.

 

“You two okay?” asked Bette. Alice just nodded and kept holding Dana. Bette let a sigh and went to sit were Carmen, Shane, Papi and Tina was sitting. Bette went to sit next to Tina who was eating her lunch.

 

Tina looked up and smiled:”Hey.”
Bette looked at her and said:”Hey.”
“So, are they okay?” asked Tina meaning Alice and Dana.
“Yeah, they love each other enough to be okay,” Bette said with a smile on her face.
“You’ll have that someday,” said Tina already knowing what Bette was smiling at.
Bette turned to face Tina and said:”I hope so.”
“You want some?” Tina said offering Bette some of her lunch after a few minutes.

“Oh, sure,” said Bette taking a piece of sandwich Tina offered her, they ate in silence.
