Prom Night.......................
At one in the afternoon Amanda sat on Karen's bed watching Karen twist her curled hair back away from her face. Amanda had time until she had to get ready, Karen's red strapless A-line gown hung on the top of the closet door. She had gotten out of her Dad's radar by tell him she was going to Karen's to get ready for the Prom with her. Amanda's dress hung on the other closet door, it was pale pink and knee length with soft limp ruffles at the bottom.
"So tonight's the big night?"asked Karen as she put another bobby pin in her hair.
"Yeah,"smiled Amanda shyly.
"Ah, so you thinking Marty's gonna get his ten bucks?"asked Karen.
"Who knows,"stated Amanda raising an eyebrow.
"Well you better, you two have two nights and three days of alone time,"said Karen turning around on her chair from her vanity.
"I said, who knows,"said Amanda smiling,"Ya know since we're on the topic,ya know who you should go out with?"
"No, Marty and me, it's no,"said Karen. Amanda rolled her eyes and sat back on the bed.
"So you're going to meet his parents?"asked Karen doing another curl.
"Yeah,"nodded Amanda unenhusatically.
"So I'm guessing this isn't a good thing,"said Karen.
"You better believe it,"said Amanda nodding.
"How bad can it be? You know how your Dad is and just think whatever hell you'll go through, Harry will have it times a thousand when your dad finds out,"said Karen.
"He's not going to find out,"said Amanda,"We haven't been caught."
"Yet,"said Karen,"You two cut it close with Ronnie seeing you."
"Yeah close but no home run,"said Amanda,"All she knows is Harry's dating some young brunette, she has no idea."
"Well be careful hun, cause if this leaks out all hell is going to break loose and you and Harry are gonna be dead in it's path,"said Karen.
"In a month and a half I graduate, then there's nothing anyone can do,"said Amanda,"And we've gotten through this long, a month and half will be simple."
"Well you still have to be careful,"said Karen. Amanda nodded and got off the bed, she grabbed the set of heated curlers Karen had plugged into for her. She took off the lid and and carefully rolled her hair onto one.

Later that night both girls stood in Karen's room dressed an ready. Karen wore a strapless fitted scarlet red dress with her dark brown hair pulled up into a pile of curls with small strands of curls framing her face. Amanda wore her pink dress and her hair in large brown curls that flowed loosely around her.
"You look so beautiful,"said Amanda,"Oh my god you're a freaking princess."
"So do you, Harry is gonna wanna jump you in the car,"said Karen.
"Well like that hasn't happened before,"smirked Amanda.
"Well tonight you look drop dead hot,"said Karen.
"Girls, we want pictures,"yelled Karen's mother, Francis, from downstairs. Both girls did last minute primping before going down stairs.
"There they are,"said Francis as Marty got up. Miranda stood excitedly with her camera, she wore a sparkly mauve floor length with a body hugging form.
"Hey, you look so good,"said Amanda as she hugged Miranda.
"So do you,"said Miranda.
"Pictures, the limo has to leave soon,"said Francis urgently. The four of them gathered together in front of the fireplace and posed for pictures. After filling up some of Miranda's camera and hugs from Francis they headed out the door. There was a limo waiting for Karen, Miranda and Marty and a taxi behind it waiting for Amanda.
"You guys all look great,"gushed Amanda.
"You too and have fun girl,"said Miranda hugging her.
"Yeah don't make him too tired for Monday,"said Marty. Amanda stuck her tongue out at him before she hugged Karen and wished them luck on the night. She then went and got in the cab to Harry's.

The cab pulled up in front of Harry's building where he stood waiting for her. Amanda smiled at him as she handed the driver two twenties and got out. 'Damn, screw going to the parents I just wanna drag him upstairs and do him,' thought Amanda as she looked him over, he was wearing a black tailored shirt with black pants and a silver tie.
"You look so incredible hot birthday boy,"said Amanda as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Well I clean up pretty well,"said Harry as they parted. Amanda smiled, the worries of meeting his family just faded away.
"Wow, you look beautiful,"said Harry,"Are you sure you don't want to skip this and go to prom?"
"Hmmm, go to prom which I all ready did last year or spend the night with this sexy man here? Ya know I think I'm gonna have to pick that prom,"joked Amanda. Harry just smiled and leaned down and kissed her lightly.
"Well on that note, I think I'll stick with my man,"said Amanda,"But shouldn't we get going?"
"And miss our fashionably late enterance?"asked Harry.
"If late is what you're looking for I could think of a few things that would make us late,"said Amanda suggestively.
"Oh you could now could you?"asked Harry raising his eyebrows,"I'm kinda scared if I touch you, you look so beautiful I might mess you up." Amanda laughed and grabbed his hand.
"C'mon," Amanda dragged him over to his car.

Once they were in the car and driving into the suburbs Harry finally spoke up.
"Um, I don't mean to sound rude or anything but do you mind going by Amanda tonight?"asked Harry. Amanda looked over at him creasing her brow, she honestly didn't mind Amanda, it was just someone people found Amanda Jane funny so they always added Jane on which annoyed her to no end.
"Sure, why?"asked Amanda.
"Well it's the age thing, I just don't want my family jumping all over it, I know you like AJ but Amanda will get you out of the dreaded question of what does AJ stand for?"said Harry.
"Okay, and I guess I'm not eighteen tonight,"said Amanda smiling.
"No, twenty or twenty one work for you?"asked Harry.
"Sure,"nodded Amanda.
"I hate having to get you to lie,"said Harry.
"Do not worry about it, it's just a small sacarfice,"said Amanda,"And it's not like we've too upfront and honest with my dad." The rest of the way was quiet, Amanda just stared out the window as Harry drove them into a higher income suburb, the streets were perfect, large gated driveways with grand houses behind them.
At one in the afternoon Amanda sat on Karen's bed watching Karen twist her curled hair back away from her face. Amanda had time until she had to get ready, Karen's red strapless A-line gown hung on the top of the closet door.
