What did a girl have to do to make Ettiene see what  he was saying was ridiculous! Give up money for love! Love didn’t keep food on the table! Love didn’t bring you pretty clothes, fancy shoes and jewelry to bring out your pretty green eyes! Love was nothing but an over played card for nitwits! She knew if she could only get Ettiene alone that Claudette could seduce him into seeing things her way, and show him just how much better a woman with experience could be when compared to the impressionable, naive, and too sweet to be true Constance.<br/><br/><strong>”The only thing I am up to is protecting my darling, sweet Constance. All she ever does is cry when you two are together. Oh sure, it’s all sunshine and smiles now, but add stress of the day to day school life, not to mention the guilt filled letters from her folks and she is in a flood of tears every time you let her down. So do not try to blame me for your unhappiness…”</strong>As she spoke, Claudette leaned in closer towards Ettiene, narrowing her eyes to aide her speech and appear as if she was only looking out for her friends best interest.<br/><br/>Constance had gone from the serene, love filled gaze she held just for Ettiene, to the horrified expression that matched the shocked gasp of breath that had caught in the back of her throat. What was Claudette saying? Ettiene could never make her cry! It wasn’t his fault that their families didn’t want to see them together. That didn’t diminish their love for each other, in fact their time away this summer had done more to bring them closer than anything had before!<br/><br/><strong>”No, no Claudette! My Ettiene loves me. He does not make me cry...being away from him makes me cry. I can not bear it! Do you not see how much we love each other? If you were my friend Claudette you would not be saying such things!”</strong><br/><br/>Claudette had about reached her patience level when Miss Veela began her plea for understanding. It was on the tip of her tongue to release the storm of her her temper on the girl when Ettiene’s mates suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Claud had been so angry she hadn’t noticed their arrival, which, considering their ridiculous getup was a feat in itself!<br/><br/>The argument was instantly put on hold.<br/><br/><strong>”Hey! Watch it!”</strong>complained Claudette as she shoved away the bag that had tipped over onto her lap.<strong>”What is wrong with you two? Do you not own a mirror? Idiots! Both of you!”</strong>Claudette rolled her eyes as the good natured teasing began between the men. She looked at Constance and shook her head in complete disgust.<strong>”Why are you smiling? Honestly Constance, don’t encourage them!”</strong><br/><br/>Constance was enchanted by Ettiene friends. Both were lighthearted and filled with mischief, but more importantly, they had always been kind to her..even when she and Ettiene were fighting.<strong>”I adore them both”</strong>explained Constance, changing seamlessly from being upset over the argument, to smiling as if the bitter words had never been spoken.<br/><br/><strong>”Abel! That coat!”</strong>giggled Constance<br/><br/><strong>”It suits him”</strong>grumbled Claudette<strong>”I can see him laying on the floor before a fire with a lovely dead look in his eyes.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>”Oh no, do not say such things Claud. Abel you look like a giant teddybear it makes me want to cuddle you!”</strong>countered Connie, smiling widely as she looked at the young man in the bear coat.<br/><br/>Again Claudette rolled her eyes as she looked over at Kenneth.<strong>”That is the most ridiculous hat I have ever seen...you stink of cigarettes and sweat.”</strong>leaning towards the discarded bags she sniffed at the offending odor and wrinkled her nose in disgust.<strong>”I hope you do not intend on keeping those rat infested bags near me! I insist that you remove them immediately!”</strong><br/><br/><strong>”Oh stop being so mean Claudette, the bags are not completely terrible. Where is your sense of humor?”</strong>asked Connie as she looked toward her boyfriend and smiled.
