A/N: Ok here's the next chapter. Sorry It took me so long, but I've been working on my damn science project. Any way, It shouldn't be such a long time between updates from now on (I hope). Anyway, don't take me too seriously I joke around a lot so if I offend anyone, I don't mean to. (read last chapter's note and you'll know what I mean.) So I'll apologize in advance. Enjoy!!

Chapter 10

It was the first week of June. That meant that it was time to start preparing for finals, which were next week. School was ending early this year so that they could move into a new building. But along with all the reviewing and studying that was going on in classes there were end of year events that everyone was excited about. The biggest for freshmen and sophomores was the dance that was happening on Saturday. The Freshmen and Sophomore classes normally had their own separate dances, but this year they had to share a dance because they had no raised enough money, barring charging $100 per person to have enough funds. Tommy was not looking forward to having to go shopping for his suit after school. He decided to invite Lil thinking that she would make it easier. In history class he asked her "Lil, you wanna come with me to the mall after school to help me pick out a suit?"

"Sure Tom I would love to go." She whispered trying not to get caught talking by the teacher.

"Alright, just walk home with me at the bus stop. We are going as soon as I get home from school."

"Alright."

When they arrived at Tommy's house after school, his parents and brother were waiting for him. "Hey guys. Lil is gonna come with us to help me pick out my suit." Tommy told his parents.

"That's fine. Maybe we can all go out for dinner afterwards." Suggested his Mom.

"That's fine with me" said Tommy.

"Yeah, I just have to call my parents and let them know. I told Phil to tell them that I was going with you but I have to tell them about dinner." She replied as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed home. The phone rang twice and her mom answered, "Deville residence."

"Hey Mom, its me Lil." She said.

"Hey Lil, what do ya need?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I am going out to eat with Tom and his family after we go to the mall."

"That's fine, you have a good time. Bye."

"Thanks Mom, bye." She turned to everyone else. "She said that it's fine."

"Good. We will leave now." Said Tommy's Dad. They exited and piled into the minivan. A few minutes later they arrived at the mall. The place was practically empty. It was too early for there to be a lot of people cause most were still at work and kids were just getting home from school. They had chosen the right time to go to the mall. They walked to the store, which was on the other side of the mall. His dad had mistakenly parked on the opposite side of the mall. They arrived in the suit section of the store and were immediately greeted by a worker who offered to help them find the right sizes and stuff like that.

The man took Tommy's measurements and them proceeded to offer various suits in the correct size. It turns out that Lil did not have a dress yet; she had been planning on getting it tomorrow. "Damn it" Tommy thought. "She tells me not to forget but she's forgotten herself, ugh. Oh well." After about an hour, it took so long cause Lil wanted to make sure that it matched the dress that she didn't have perfectly, they just decided to go with the classic suit. And he decided not to get into ties or shoes.

They purchased the suit and ran it out to the car. "So, where should we eat?" asked his Mom.

"I think that we should have Pizza!" yelled Dil.

"No, we are not having pizza. That's all you eat, nothing but pizza, well not tonight." Replied his Mom.

"The Food court then?" Dil asked.

"No Dil. I was thinking that we would go to a restaurant." Chastised his Mom.

"There is that steakhouse in the mall that we could go to. Why don't we go there?" Suggested Tommy.

"Yeah, I heard that that place has good food." Agreed Lil.

"Then its agreed we will go there." Said his Dad. They trudged back into the mall and when they arrived at the restaurant they were informed that they would have to wait half an hour before they could get a table and were asked if they wanted to wait. They would wait for a table. No one said anything for a while until Tommy's phone rang and he answered. "Yeah" he said.

"Hey Tom, its Phil." Replied Phil.

"What do you want Phil?" He asked, while walking outside.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see how the night was going."

"It's going fine, but what does it matter to you?'

"It doesn't, I just felt like calling."

"Are you trying to check on me, or hoping to be breaking something up?'

"NO. Why would I do a thing like that?"

"Cause you're an asshole."

"Now Tom, lets not start calling each other names."

"Why not?"

"Cause there is no reason to. Anyway, I just called to say hi. See you tomorrow." And he hung up. "Just calling to say hi my ass." He decided to shut the phone off and headed back inside. As soon as he sat down they announced that their table was ready. When they were seated, with Dil next to the wall, Tommy in the middle and Lil on the end and his parents on the other side, Tommy immediately began to scan the menu. He is always hungry. He ordered a 20 Oz. prime rib with an extra order of fries and a root bear float. And for an appetizer he ordered two plates of mozzarella sticks. His Mom ordered a salad, his Dad a T-bone, Dil a 16 Oz. prime rib and Lil a salad as well. "Geez T. Did you order enough food?" asked his brother.

"I don't know D. Do you think I should get some more just to be safe?" asked Tommy sincerely.

"No T, I was just kidding."

"Don't do that to me man. You know that I can put it away with the best of them, even you."

"Don't worry we know. Isn't that right Lil?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Well, you are his girlfriend, I'm sure that you've noticed how much he eats."

"He eats, what's the other option, starve?"

"True. Anyway, you guys ready for the dance on Saturday?"

"As ready as we can get." Said Tommy.

"Yeah, all that is left is to actually go and enjoy ourselves." Said Lil.

"I hope that you do." Just then the waitress returned with their drinks and appetizers. "You gonna share that with the rest of us?" Asked his Dad.

"I will think about it." He had to mumble because his mouth was already stuffed with food.

"In other words, no." Said Dil. In about a minute he had eaten both plates and was anxiously awaiting his main dish. "Those were great; you guys should have had one." He commented.

"We would have, but we were afraid that you would bite our fingers off." Snarled Dil.

"No need to get nasty dude." He replied. In a few minutes, the main course arrived. Tommy decided to take his time eating this. He finished along with everyone else. After, he decided to order a slice of pie for desert. This he did share with the others. They then paid the bill and started to walk to the car.

When they arrived in the car, Tommy told his Dad to just go right home, he would walk Lil home when they arrived. Five minutes later they arrived home. Tommy and Lil both headed directly to her house. "So, did you enjoy your night?" he asked.

"Yes I did. It was fun. Now I have to get my dress and then we will be all set for Saturday." She replied.

"Good. Just think, exams are next week. But I think that I will start studying for those on Sunday."

"Do you always put everything off for as long as possible?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Oh well. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yup." They kissed goodnight and he walked off towards his house.
