"I am exhausted" Bailey said as the girls got ready for bed in the bathroom. Both Bette and Bailey had taken a shower already and June was still taking hers.

"Me too" Bette nodded. "I'm trying this new stuff on my face." Bette held up a bottle to show Bailey but Neveah stormed in. She grabbed June by the neck and pulled her to her room.

"Holy shit" Bette laughed.

"What just happened" Bailey questioned.

"Let's go find out" Bette suggested and all the girls ran to June and Neveah's room.

"I did not put that there" June said as they finally got to the room. 

Neveah had June up against a wall. "After everything I did to help?"

"But I helped you" June defended.

"It was the last thing" Neveah started yelling and slammed her hand into the wall beside June. "The only thing my mom ever gave me."

"Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah" Tori, the one who keeps the kids together, came to the room. "I heard reports of an epic catfight. I didn't expect it to be you two."

"Tonight was crazy" Bailey said to Bette after lights out.

"It really was" Bette nodded. "First time fucking in a club."

"I met someone" Bailey finally admitted. "Yeah, I met someone."

"What's his name" Bette questioned, getting excited. Bailey had never had a boyfriend. The only reason she's kissed anyone is because she goes to the school.

"Matteo" Bailey said. "We met at that café."

"That's so cute" Bette smiled. "Tell me everything."

"Well, we were the only two people in the café" Bailey started. "He called me pretty. Whatever, whatever. I came back the day Ramon observed class and we talked for like 5 minutes. There's just something about him."

"Do you think he could be your soulmate" Bette asked.

"Damn Bette" Bailey laughed. "I just met him."

"Doesn't matter" Bette shook her head.

"Things are like in slowmo when I'm near him" Bailey shrugged. "Butterflies all the time."

"Soulmate" Bette dragged out.

After Shane, Bette, and Oren got back, they all came to get Bailey.

"Hey" Bette opened the dorm room door. "Want to get lunch?"

"Yes, please" Bailey stood up. "I'm starving."

"Come on girl" Shane smiled at her. She ran up to Shane and he threw his arm over her shoulder.

"Are you going to tell them" Bette asked Bailey as the almost got to the doors.

"Tell them what" Bailey questioned.

"How you met a guy" Bette explained. "Matteo or whatever."

"What" a guy standing at the door turned around. Matteo. Bailey and Matteo looked at each other for a few seconds, both of them filling up with the same butterflies from before. This time it was worse because know he knew she told people about him.

"Oh, man" Matteo groaned as he looked at Shane realizing who they were. 

"You put in the doors" Shane questioned.

"You are dancers" Matteo nodded. He looked at Bailey with a little bit of a shocked expression.

"Yeah, and this one here gave you a shiner" Shane hit him with his card while smiling.
