Man, that was a great moment. Anyway, we found some beanbags that weren't occupied and sat down, enjoying our jawbreakers and thinking about the dance.
"When does this dance take place tonight, Hannah?
I quickly whip out a handkerchief and wipe off the drool leaking out of his cheek. "Messy. Tonight in about..." I check my watch. "An hour! YIKES! We better get ready!
Us girls jump up, but Eddy grabs Paula by the wrist. "Where are you off to in such a hurry, ladies?
Paula tugs her wrist out of Eddy's grasp. "To get dressed, of course." Jackie nods. "You boys should think of doing the same. Gotta look your best, ya know.
Eddy brightens up while Ed looks down at his clothes. "Why can't I wear my own clothes?
Jackie grabs his hand. "Nah, it's ok. I'll find an outfit to match yours.
I shake my head, sticking out my tongue. "Probably a dress, I hate dresses. Blech." See, I knew that Jackie would wear a dress and Paula would probably wear a skirt. I leaned over to DD, smiling. "What are you going to wear? It's all right if you wear the same clothes.
DD nods. "I think I will.
I smile and we run off to the lockers to grab our outfits and then to the dressing rooms to get dressed. By the time we finished, it was 30 minutes to dance time.
We ran out of the bathroom and straight into the Eds.
"Hey! Watch where you're goin', you-" Eddy says as he pulls himself up from where he fell. He looks up and when his eyes fall on us, they bug out. "HELLO!" Ed looks at Jackie, smiling WIDE.
Jackie is in an olive green dress with white stripes down the sides, a red and white striped shirt underneath, and a purple purse. I have to give it to her, she and Ed looked made for each other.
I lean down and pull DD to his feet, he stares at me. I have on my peasant shirt, it's white with red designs, and it has ruffles along the sleeves and collar. I also have jeans, a white headband, and white tennies with heart designs on them. It goes quite well with DD, who of course had his red shirt and blue shoes.
Eddy smiles at Paula, looking her up and down as well. I was wrong, she didn't have a skirt on. Her shirt looks like a painting with lots of flowers. She has sensible khaki pants with brown boots that come about halfway up her leg. She did her hair beautifully as well, she pulled it into a ponytail but only pulled it halfway through the scrunchie and then turned it inside out. It looked beautiful.
Eddy was the only boy dressed up of the three, he had a white tux with a huge bow tie on, a huge top hat, a cane, and a monocle.
Paula tisked her tongue as she grabbed him by the wrist. "We gotta work on you...you can't go the dance looking like that!" So she dragged him into the restroom as DD, Jackie, Ed and I walked off to the dance, which was in the renovated gym.
