Tina thought she heard a familiar voice shouting ‘no’, but thought against it as the mob started another round of push and pull with her.

Bette reached the stunned girl holding Tina’s shoe in warp speed. The girl was about to pelt the shoe on Tina’s back when she heard someone shout from the bleachers. She stood in shock as she watched the leader of F4 stand before her and forcefully grab the shoe from her hand. Bette clenched the front of the girl’s blouse in anger before she shoved her away.

Bette pushed her way inside the mob where she finally saw Tina up close, and shouted with all her strength.

"ENOUGH!!!"

The crowd suddenly stood silent as they heard two distinct voices shout. They looked around and saw Bette Porter and Sam Makavejev standing on opposite sides of Tina Kennard.

To say that the two best friends were shocked to see the presence of the other was an understatement. They eyed each other angrily, but for two completely different reasons. One felt anger because the other had really crossed the line this time and the other felt immense hatred stemming from intense jealousy.

But it was Sam who recovered first. She looked around the crowd and addressed the students. "Enough." She said firmly. "From now on you will leave Tina Kennard alone." She eyed the students angrily. "Now go back to your classrooms." She ordered.

The students did not move as they looked at Bette in fear. They knew that the queen trumps the princesses, and whatever Bette ordered would hold more weight than Sam’s orders.

"Christina Kennard is no longer red tagged." Bette said through gritted teeth, her eyes never leaving Sam’s. "Everybody leave." Bette ordered. The students gathered around started to leave slowly one by one. "NOW!" Bette shouted, and all at once the students started running towards the main building. When it was only the three of them, Sam gingerly extended her hand for Tina to take. "Here." She said as Tina grabbed her hand and she pulled her up to her feet. She held on to Tina’s hand as she started to pull the blonde away, with Tina covered in mud and one foot shoeless and all.
