Ahhh I love this! Whilst I can see why people would say Britta would never cry in front of Slater, I think at this point she has no choice but to cry :( she really did get the short straw :( but you wrote her emotions so well :) and I LOVE that this has a Britta/Troy ending!!! I personally think the only reason he is mean to her is because he likes her (the old story that boys pull the hair of girls they like... or something) or that he sees Jeff and her arguing and figures that's what she goes for... one or the other! I totally want to see something happen between them :) anyway, what I meant to say was how you wrote his reaction was pretty much spot on. And this gave me such hope for a finale that I basically hated ;) great job!
