Chapter 3
What do you mean you're not going to the dance?
JP
At the same time Tami responded on the phone.
"You're in her lair," said Tami
"Yeah there's no way I'll finish in time," sighed Mary
Dominique is making me clean her room.
Probably to stop me from going to the dance
It's a total mess.
I can't come
Mary
Mary we need to talk about Dominique making you clean and cook.
I'm coming to pick you up.
Joey
Mary dialled Joey's number on her mobile forgetting she still had Tami on the landline.
"Hello," said Joey
"You pick me up and you'll get me in serious trouble," said Mary
"What?" asked Tami
"Mary," said Joey
"One sec," she said "Sorry Tami not you gotta go," and she hung up.
"Sorry Tami was still on the phone. I'm serious I already got more chores this week because I forgot to tell them I'm life long friends with you. If you come to spring me you won't see me every again," said Mary
"I'm not going to the ball without you," said Joey
"Well you have to please for me," she pleaded
Her phone beeped.
"I have to go Tami's on the other line I hung up on her," said
"Ok I'll go but I won't promise I'll have fun," said Joey
Laughing Mary hung up and answered the phone.
"Hey," she said
"Who were you talking to before and let me in I'm downstairs," said Tami
5 minutes later.
"Please tell me those aren't our dresses," groaned Mary
"I can't cuz they are and my sister's boyfriend's cousins are going to clean the room," said Tami stepping to the side to show the cleaners.
"You are so awesome," said Mary
"Oh I know," said Tami
Half an hour later. Joey was sulking at the dance and Mary was coming down the stairs.
Tami had done an excellent job on her dress.
A strap covered in glittery black sequins came down from her left shoulder while her right shoulder had a floaty lace sleeve that joined into the other strapped at the top of her dress. The bodice was overlaid with lace and then the dress itself hung now to the floor. The lace had leaf patterns all over it. From the bottom of her hips and downwards a thin black net hung over the skirt. Mary looked stunning. Her hair was half up and half down. The top was pinned up and was slight elevated of her head while the bottom half flowed down her back. With the hair being pulled back it showed of her ears and the black oval (with the middle missing) and white spots earrings that hung from her ears.
And on her face a simple black mask covered in glittering black sequins. And her arms held black gloves that started at her fingers and went all the way up to her elbows.
"Who is that?" asked Dustin looking over at the stairs.
"That is Mary," smiled Joey as he watched his beautiful girlfriend come down the stairs.
"Next to her?" asked Dustin look a Tami who was wearing a strapless dress the top half white with embroideredsequin black roses on it while the skirt was black. Her mask was sliver with black eyelashes painted on it curling round the gaps that showed her eyes and black hat was perched on her head.
"That's her best friend Tami," said Joey
"How are you sure it's Mary?" asked Dustin
"You see the necklace round her neck?" asked Joey "The sliver chain pearly heart I gave her that when we got together. Plus I'm her boyfriend I should know my girlfriend even when she has a mask on" he added
"I thought she wasn't coming," said Dustin
"So did I," smiled Joey
Tami was steering Mary towards the punch bowl and the cute guy next to it. The cute guy being Joey but of course Tami didn't know that. But Mary she recognized his profile. Everyone was masked, no one knew who anyone was unless they came with them. Or they knew them like Mary did Joey. So if no one knew she was her and Joey was him. They could dance together, be together for the night an no one would be none the wiser.
And Joey was thinking the exact same thing.
