Bette’s Party:
 

“Bette this party is the bomb girl.” Said Melanie.  She is one of the school’s cheerleaders.

“Thanks, Mel.  Glad you could make it.”  Bette replied.

“Hey Porter! Where’s the ball and chain for this week?”

“Alice shut up.” 

“For your information, we have been together more than a week.” Said Bette

“Woo hoo!!!. A whole week and a half huh? What was I thinking?  That’s an eternity in your world.”

Alice was the school reporter and all around busy body.  If there was a bit of juicy gossip about one of her classmates, Alice knew it.  She had no issues with spreading the word either.  This got her in trouble at times, but for the most part she meant no harm.

“Leave her alone, Alice.” Said Shane. “She can’t help it if she’s so desirable to all the ladies.” Winking at her friend.

“Not all of them.”  Bette muttered as she looked in the direction of her current blonde obsession.  She kept telling herself not to like her, but she can’t help it.  Tina is such a great player so Bette finds her skills admirable.  During  the game, once Tina had worked up a sweat, Bette couldn’t help but think about the blonde getting sweaty under different circumstances. She tries to shake those thoughts because she really doesn’t want to hurt Desiree, plus Tina is clearly into boys.  She is so lost in her reverie, she doesn’t notice that her current girlfriend (?) has followed her line of sight and sees Tina and Eric on the opposite side of the room.  Bette turns around just in time to see Desiree walking away.

“Shit,shit shit.”

“Dang, Bette what did you do?”quipped Alice.

“What do you think?” As she went in the direction that her girlfriend, hoping she could put on the charm this time.

Bette caught up with Desiree out on the porch.
“Hey baby” she went in for a kiss on the cheek.

“Would you rather be kissing my best friend Bette?”  ‘oh shit she knows I’ve been eyeing her best friend. Say something, Porter!’

“Of course not, babe. I know she’s your best friend.  I’m not a total jerk!”

“Wrong answer sweetie.  You’re supposed to say you only have eyes for me.  Now you just made me feel like the only reason you haven’t made a play for Tina is she is my friend.” Desiree looked Bette in the eye and she saw all she needed to see.
