Saturday night couldn't of come any sooner . . . or at least that's what
Val thought. She spent the remaining weekdays pondering and speculating
her impending date with Tyler. Many hours were spent talking on the phone
with Caitie.
"Val, it's about time he asked you!" Caitie exclaimed when she first heard the news. Although the thought of two perfect overachievers together gave Caitie a gag reflex, she was actually happy for them. They were really good and compatible together, no matter how nauseating it was.
"Really?" Val replied at Caitie's comment. 'I thought Caitie would be opposed to this.' Val thought to herself.
"Well, I know he's like Mr. Golden Boy and all, but you know, he's all right. You could do worse with all those rock heads in our school."
Val was overjoyed that Caitie was becoming friends with Tyler. It would seriously disappoint her if her best friend and . . .hopefully future boyfriend didn't get along.
"You know, I'm really glad you said that. Your opinion means a lot to me," Val said warmly.
"Yeah, I guess certain bad experiences can bright forth good ones." Caitie thought about how Tyler was the person who was there for her when she was going through a rough time.
"All right, I'm going to get off now. I have to get ready."
Val eagerly hung up the phone. She headed towards the bathroom and showered. She brushed her damp blonde hair. She took out her hairdryer and curling iron. While the iron was heating up, she quickly blow-dried her hair. She took the curling iron and started wrapping sections of her shoulder length hair around the warm barrel.
Val took out her makeup bag from the top shelf. She took out her favorite ice blue eye shadow and applied it delicately on her eyelid. She took out her mascara and applied two coats. Val held up four tubes of lipstick. A look of panic appeared on her face.
"Brooke!!!" Val yelled from the bathroom. Seconds later her little sister came running through the door.
"What's wrong Val?" Brooke asked with a concerned expression.
"Which lipstick should I choose?"
"What are you wearing?" Brooke asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know!" Val suddenly realized she didn't prepare an outfit for that night.
"Come with me," Brooke instructed supportively. Val followed her little sister to their room to select an outfit.
After trying on every article of clothing in the household, a decision has been made. Val studied her appearance in the full-length mirror that hung in her closet. She had on a knee length blue skirt. Val wore a white sweater to match. On her neck hung a string of pearls her parents had given her for her 16th birthday.
"Here." Brooke handed Val a tube of lipstick. "This one will go perfectly."
"Thanks makeup guru." Val went into the bathroom and applied the selected shade---- 'frosted bronze.'
"How do I look?" Val questioned.
Brooke looked at her big sister. Val had curls that fell right above her shoulders. She had a set of blue diamond clips holding back sections of her hair. Brooke was pleased with the outfit she selected. The sweater and skirt fit just right. Val had on a pair of sandals with straps that crossed in the front.
"You look beautiful Val!" Brooke stated after studying her sisters appearance.
"Thanks so much for helping me get ready." Val hugged her little sister tightly.
"Good luck on your date tonight." The two sisters remained hugging. "Val?"
"What is it Brooke?" Val replied without letting go of her sister.
"Doesn't this remind you of when I helped you get ready for Tyler's birthday dinner last year?"
"Don't remind me of that night!" Val giggled.
The doorbell rang and Val reluctantly let go of her little sister.
"Okay. Here I go." Val walked up to the front door.
