"Class dismissed" Bette stood at the back of the class she had just lectured, it wasn’t permanent, she was filling in for a someone. "Except for you Ms. Nichols". Kevyn stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Bette.

"Yes Profes…Dean Porter" she asked and Bette raised an eyebrow at the young woman who stood as tall as she with baggy clothes that adorned her athletic body.

"You were late…" Kevyn was about to give Bette an explanation,"don’t interrupt me please". Kevyn pursed her lips and let Bette continue her speech. "You were at the top of your graduating class here at CU in which you graduated with a Bachelor’s in Art Literature and a minor in Accounting…and yet you show no respect for your professors…not only that but when you entered CU, you were offered an athletic scholarship which you turned down for an academic scholarship…did I miss anything".

"Yeah…" Kevyn answered, "I’m a scorpio, who loves kids and long walks on the beach" she joked but Bette found it anything but funny.

"You also didn’t bother to show up for your interview with me for the teacher’s assistant job in which you were not in the running but Phyllis Kroll suggested you" Bette paused to let that last little bit sink into Kevyn’s head. "She holds you in high regard…for what I have no idea because I am less than impressed".

"Excuse me Dean Porter but I am really sorry about that whole thing but I don’t think I’m the right choice for the TA" Kevyn explained.

"I haven’t made my choice but it will be between you and Nadia" Bette explained and Kevyn rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Is there a problem".

"No…it’s just that…" Kevyn began but was interrupted by the door opening and screech following.

"How dare you send a fucking send a complete fucking stranger to pick up our daughter" Tina screamed as she marched down the lecture room steps.

"Excuse me Kevyn…" Bette said.

"No problem baby mama drama huh" Kevyn laughed but again the joke was lost on a fuming Bette and an angry Tina.

"8:00 am tommorow morning…don’t be late" Bette replied and Kevyn skipped up the steps past Tina who she said hello to before disappearing out of the door.

"She’s not a total stranger…her name’s Nadia…she’s my TA Tina" Bette said defending her logic but Tina was hearing none of what Bette was saying. "And I would have picked her up myself but I had to lecture this class and I have a meeting in five minutes Tina".

"You are so fucking selfish" Tina began,"you couldn’t even put your daughters needs in place of your own".

"No, don’t you dare tell me how selfish I am" Bette replied, "Angelica and I have hardly seen you in the past week because of your new BFF Helena…".

"It’s my job" Tina yelled back.

"Excuse me Bette" Phyllis called from the door,"the meeting is about to begin". Bette looked back at Tina who was steaming by now.

"We’ll finish this at home okay" Bette began walking the steps to the door.

"I won’t be there…" Bette glanced back at Tina,"I have a meeting with Kate Arden". And with that Tina walked up the steps and past Bette.
