“It’s keeping her out off trouble I have no complaints about that” Miss Braidey laughed

“Me neither thanks Louise” Bette said leaving the class

“Anytime”

Lisa walked into English clearly pissed off.

“Guess what?” Lisa snapped at Carmen “Jess just had another fit so I suggest you and her talk before this gets any worse”

“What? Is she okay?” Carmen asked concerned

“My mum just took her home” Lisa stated “You say you love her, prove it and hear her out”

Carmen picked up her books and bag and headed for the door.

“Where you going?” The teacher asked

“I need to go, I’m sorry” Carmen stated

Carmen walked to Bette’s class she was relieved to see she didn’t have one. She knocked on the door.

“Hey you. Shouldn’t you be in English?” Bette asked

“Lisa just told me is she ok?” Carmen said brushing of Bette’s question

“Yeah it was only a little one, she’s fine” Bette said pulling a seat over to her desk “What the hell is going on with you two?”

“I’m sure she’s filled you in” Carmen stated

“She has but how has it managed to escalate to this?”

“I wouldn’t hear her out” Carmen admitted “I avoided her”

“Don’t you think thats a bit unfair?”

“I felt like a complete idiot” Carmen explained “I poured my heart out and I got a ok I wasn’t expecting that”

“Honey that’s what Jess’s Mum did to me too, doesn’t mean she doesn’t feel the same” Bette smiled

“I didn’t want her and Lisa to fall out over this”

“Lisa took your side” Bette smiled “That didn’t go down well with Jess”

“I shouldn’t have told her how I felt” Carmen smiled “She clearly wasn’t ready for that”

“You should always tell your partner how you feel” Bette smiled “Talk to her”

“If she’ll let me” Carmen stated “Can’t believe she pulled out the talent show”

“I think she was extremely silly doing that too” Bette admitted “Mark will never let her live it down”

The after school bell rang.

“I’ll speak to you English teacher don’t worry about today okay”

“Thank Bette” Carmen said hugging her

Carmen walked to her locker she opened it finding a CD.
