Bette Porter awoke at six o’clock the next day and try as she might, she couldn’t go back to sleep. All she could think about was that night”s activities. The dance started at nine and they were going to start letting people in at eight thirty. Bette craned her neck to see her midnight blue dress hanging on her doorknob. It was an off-the-shoulder like date that showed a lot of cleavage and had a slit way up her thigh. She barely knew Jodi Lerner so making a good first impression way key. She had never been intimate with a female since Nadia, if she even counted. She showered about three times that day. Her siblings poked fun at her and her parents were proud she was finally getting out of the house to have a social night.

Tina Kennard awoke at two in the afternoon by her ringtone and grumbled as she turned over, reaching for her cell phone.

"Hello," she said sleepily, as she snuggled closer to the comforter. Whoever called better have a good enough reason to disrupt her in her beauty sleep, as if she needed it. She was dead tired from the after-party that followed the Homecoming game.

"Tina?" Hudson asked, not sure if it was such a good idea to call. "I’m sorry for interrupting."

"It’s OK,’ Tina replied convincingly. It was hard not to accept Hudson’s apology. "Why are you calling?"

"I was wondering what color your dress was because I wanted to make sure the ribbon on your corsage matches it. Because of it doesn’t…" Hudson rambled.

"Hudson! It’s red," Tina yelled, hoping it would shut Hudson out. He really needed a girlfriend to teach him to toughen up.

"Oooh sexy sexy," Michael sang out as Bette walked down the stairs, dressed to the nines.

"Michael," Melvin scolded as he watched his oldest daughter fully grown up. It was as if it were yesterday when Bette would run to him for every little problem. "You look beautiful Bette."

Bette blushed and bit her lip as she got to the last step and twirled around. Her younger girl siblings clapped and the boys wolf-whistled. She felt very uncomfortable in her attire, especially walking in high heels. "Hopefully Jodi will be impressed," Bette whispered.
