Chapter Twelve
I entered the crowded gym and was met with the sound of swing music. I searched around for Travis. It took me a while to get my outfit together so I just told him to meet me there. When I saw him I felt the wind being kicked out of me. He was wearing a black bomber jacket and a pair of black jeans. His hair was slicked back with gel and he had a slight curl hanging in his face. He looked totally fifties. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"You look great." I blushed at his comment but I also had to agree. I had found the blue-green poodle skirt in the attic as I thought I would. It had a white poodle on it with a pink bow and a gold sequin collar that ran up the skirt to my waistband. I was wearing white shoes with my socks pulled up and rolled down. I had on a white collared T-shirt and white cats-eye glasses. My hair was pulled up in a high ponytail and tied with a purple ribbon. I looked like my grandmother in her high-school yearbook.
"Hey pretty lady." I spun around and saw Ray standing in front of my but for a moment I thought I was inside the movie Grease. He had his hair slicked back and was wearing a T-Birds jacket. He looked amazing. Just then something caught my eye. I looked up and saw a flash of lime green headed in their direction. When the flash stopped I could see that it was Audrey. She was wearing a lime green dress with a white sweater. She looked like the perfect housewife, right down the white high heeled sandals and the beehive hairdo.
"Aud, you look fantastic!" I felt the fabric of her dress. It was silk and seemed to flow with her body.
"I must say the same to you. That skirt is great! And I adore the glasses! Where did you get them? I looked all around and couldn't find any." I took off the glasses and let her try them on.
"My mom said they were my grandmothers. They're authentic, just like this skirt. My grandma made it back in 1952." I laughed as Audrey put on the glasses. She looked like a librarian. She took them off and handed them back to me.
"Wow, that skirts old." I noticed how Audrey put an emphasis on old. She always had to have new clothes, even if they were supposed to look old. But that's Aud for ya.
"Lily, you want something to drink?" I turned around and remembered that Travis and Ray were with us. I nodded and asked for a DrPepper. Audrey started talking about the live band when my voice caught in my throat. Audrey waved her hand in front of my face to make sure I was with her. The next minute I burst out laughing.
