"Yeah right." Jenny smirked, completely unconvinced. Well this was certainly more interesting to watch then Bette and Tina fighting, she thought.

Before the blonde could utter any more in her defense, the morning bell rang and broke their conversation. Tina let out a huge breath, relieved for the interruption.

"Look.. I got to go.." Tina pointed towards her classroom with a thumb, angling to leave. "Bye Jenny!" She shouted over her shoulder, making a hasty retreat.

"Bye Tina!" Jenny smiled and shook her head. If her intuition was correct, then the attraction that she pointed out was not one-sided. Despite her claims that her days were hellish because of Bette, Tina looked as if she was really enjoying attending school recently. In fact, she would go as far as to say that Tina appeared as if she was looking forward to attending class since a certain brunette became her seatmate.

———————————

Tina entered homeroom just as Bette ended her call with Shane. The brunette was smiling brightly at her the entire time that she was walking towards her desk.

"Planet problem solved." Bette smugly proclaimed when Tina sat down.

"What? How?" Tina asked in confusion as she set her leather case on the floor.

"I just talked to the owner.." Bette wiggled her brows up and down, proud of herself.

"Shit!" Tina exclaimed. "Please tell me that I still have my job.." She groaned a little worried, fearing that Bette had done something to compromise her work. Did she threaten her boss or threw her weight around?

"Don’t worry Kennard. Shane owns that place." Bette stated simply and shrugged. "You’re still getting paid and you still have your crappy job.." She wrinkled her nose at the thought of Tina working as a waitress. "Although why you insist on serving tables is beyond me. You could get a better job. I mean, why work there when you can work under me?" Bette smirked, ready to start their usual round of teasing.

"What?" Tina furrowed her brows, regarding the brunette beside her uneasily. She felt herself blush as she remembered Jenny’s words. Innocent banter. Innocent banter. She kept on repeating to herself.
