Alice leaned back in her chair and cracked her knuckles, "Well, I’m doing the same thing I did last night."

"Which is?" Shane asked.

"Watch Bette get drunk and try to come up with more entertaining ways to fuck up her morning."

"Oh no you don’t.  I’m locking my door tonight."

"You locked your door last night.  We have a key, remember?"

Bette looked questioningly at Alice, "When did I ever give you a key?"

"You didn’t I took your spare."

"Alice!" Bette shrieked.

"Jesus, it was just for the prank.  Here, you can have it back." She rummaged through her bag and handed Bette the key.

"Thank you.  Well, guys," Bette began, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "I think I’m gonna go see how my new roomie is settling in and make sure she hasn’t turned our dorm into some hetero palace of love. You guys are so lucky, you get to room with each other and here I get stuck with the freaking straight girl."

Shane winked, "Come on Bette.  Where’s your spirit? You should definitely tap that resource."

"Uh uh, Shane, straight girls are trouble."

Alice shook her head, "No, Bette, all girls are trouble, but look at the bright side at least the straight ones have a bigger pay off…..if it doesn’t work out you still get to keep your toaster oven."

"Ha ha funny, Al.  I’ll see you guys later."

Shane and Alice waved bye, "Be good.  Try not to corrupt the straight girl….too much."

Bette walked into the room pushing boxes out of her way, "Hey, I see the rest of your stuff arrived."  Tina turned to look at her, "Yeah, sorry for the mess.   I’m getting it all put up."  She was holding a small shoe box, struggling to put it on the top shelf of her closet.  She finally resorted to throwing the box up to the shelf, but everytime it just fell back in her face.  The tall brunette watched with amusement, then decided to offer her services, "Here let me…" She walked up behind Tina.  Reaching around in front of the blonde, she took the box and stretched to reach the shelf.  Her body leaned forward and gently pressed up against Tina’s back.  Tina felt Bette’s body leaning into her own, for a moment she closed her eyes and leaned back into Bette.  "There you go." Bette stepped back causing Tina to lose her balance a little bit, "Whoa you ok?"
