All of the girls stood in a line in the ladies' room in front of the mirror, playing with their hair or applying makeup. Kayla hadn't said a word to her friends about her date with Dwayne, and in truth she wasn't certain herself.
"Did we decide where we're going yet?" Julie asked pulling her hair into a high ponytail
"Club Cristal." Kat declared putting one of her emerald contact lenses in
"Did everyone tell their men they wouldn't be around tonight?" Kayla asked quietly lining her eyes in a charcoal colored pencil
"I did, Dean of course had to declared his ownership of me and remind me that his is big enough to maim just about any guy that will feel the need to hit on me." Maryann chuckled
"That's better then what I had to go through, Guy thinks we're going to the movies. If I told him we were going clubbing, he'd probably show up there to check up on me."
"Luis trusts me." Nicci declared from the sink shelf where she'd been sitting rather then fussing over her make up and hair.
"Sure he does Nic." Linda smiled and patted her on the back
"Why did we invite her?" Maryann whispered sharply to Kat
"I dunno, I don't like her either." Kat answered
"Because she's Charlie's girlfriend so we're stuck with her." Connie sighed
"Is everybody done?" Julie was starting to get impatient
"I'm ready." Kayla replied softly
"Good then let's go."
The line at the club was pretty long for eighteen or under night but the girls were able to get in quickly by going in with another group of teens they recognized from school. The music was pumping and the room was hot. A shy girl like Kayla was in her own personal hell surrounded by so many people. Suddenly being on the dance floor with Dwayne the night before even seemed like a better place to be.
"Are you having fun yet?" Linda yelled over the earsplitting music
"Yeah." Kayla lied, the only way the night could've gotten worse for her was if someone asked her about Dwayne, luckily no one had yet
"So tell us Kayla, how did things go with Dwayne last night?" Julie queried on the edge of her seat
"Yeah he really likes you, it was all he'd talk about during practice this afternoon. In fact if I remember correctly Banks told him if he heard your name from his mouth one more time, he'd pay Fulton to take slap shots at Cowboy's head." Connie added
'Adam told Dwayne to stop talking about me?' Kayla thought, so excited by what she heard to care about the fact they'd asked about her date 'Maybe he was jealous, maybe he likes me.'
"It wasn't that big of a deal really. We went to dinner and then dancing. It was nice but it's not like we're getting married or anything." She responded lost in her own little world of fantasy
"Guy told me Cowboy asked him to show him how to slow dance, I think that's so sweet."
"It is sweet, it just wasn't the big of a deal."
"That being said," Nicci began "I've got to pee, anyone wanna come?"
No more then two minutes after Nicci, Julie, and Linda left for the potty , a tall, red headed boy, with a mischievous smile approached where Kat, Kayla, Connie and Maryann were sitting.
"Hello ladies how are you tonight?" He smiled and tried his best to look deathly sexy
"Fine thanks." Kat muttered. If there was one thing she hated it was people that think they're all that.
"You girls are much to be pretty to be here alone, why don't we get to know one another so you won't be?"
"Here let me do the introductions and get this over very quickly." Maryann chimed in "I'm Maryann, I've got a very big, jealous boyfriend waiting for me back at campus so cross me off your conquest list, unless you have a death wish. That's my roommate and best buddy, Kat, she's doing the whole friends with benefits deal with a guy at school and she's way out of you league anyway. The gorgeous dark haired girl right there is Connie, she's practically married, so yeah, no chance with her. Lastly is Kayla and she's already having trouble dealing with two men, she doesn't need a third to complicate things. So who are you?"
"I'm…"
"Ian Roberts!" A familiar voice yelled from a few feet away
"Nicci, hey what are you doing here?" The boy asked
"Hanging out with my friends. What are you doing here?" Nicci crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes
"Talking to these lovely ladies."
"Ian, remember the girls I always talk about when I'm home, you know my friends at Eden Hall?"
"Yeah."
"That's them." Nicci tipped her head in the general direction of the rest of the girls
"Oh, hi." Ian waved "So I guess this is your way of telling me to beat it then right?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
As the boy walked away Kayla finally started her first conversation of the night, or at least attempted to
"Now what?"
"I say when we're getting flirted with by Nicci's little brother, its' time to go." Julie stated
"I agree." Linda nodded
And so ended their not so fun night out.
"Did we decide where we're going yet?" Julie asked pulling her hair into a high ponytail
