CeCe lounged on her bed, painting her nails in different colors. 10 more minutes and Rocky would be here. The sleeping bags were neatly (by her mother) placed on the floor of CeCe's bedroom. A drawer stood nearby. It was cluttered with all kinds of nail polishes, hair ties and clips, jewelry, cd's, perfume, and other trinkets. "CeCe darling!" called her Mother from downstairs."Are you sure you're going to be all good?" CeCe groaned, rolling her eyes. "Ugh Mom… I know! No turning on the stove, no setting fire to the house, no leaving the house, no boys, no opening the door to strangers. I've heard it at LEAST a million times", her voice dripping with exasperation as she walked downstairs. Georgina tucked a string of hair behind CeCe's ear. "Honey I'm sorry, I'm just a little worried, you know?" CeCe rolled her eyes. "Mommy dearest, we'll be fine" she said, with fake sweetness in her voice. Georgina wasn't fooled. However, she was late on her date, so she didn't have time for another lecture. Sighing, she looked at CeCe and said "Just promise me you'll be good, okay? Have a good time and don't forget to call me if you're in trouble or need help!" And with that, she was gone. CeCe slammed the door shut and slid down with a sigh of relief. Bouncing up eagerly, she shouted "Yes, finally I'm by myself!" "Oh no you're not!" someone said mysteriously close to CeCe. She screamed and whipped around… only to find Rocky climbing through the window, grinning at her. CeCe scrunched her face up at Rocky. "Rocky, why did you scare me like that? And how did you open that window?" she angrily enquired. Rocky giggled, making her dark brown curls bounce viciously. "I thought it was funny, and the bolt was loose in the window" she replied, trying to cover up her smile. "Not funny Rocky!" CeCe annoyingly spat out, and stomped to the kitchen. Rocky quieted and felt guilty. "I'm sorry CeCe, please forgive me!" she pleaded, grabbing CeCe's shoulder. CeCe turned around, and seeing Rocky's sad face, she reconciled. "Fine Rocky, I forgive you this time. But if you try this again…you better watch out!" she warned, waggling her finger at Rocky. "Ok" "Soo… lets go upstairs into my room and do this sleepover thingy!" CeCe said, smiling. They both raced up the stairs. Upon entering her bedroom, CeCe suggested that she and Rocky play truth or dare. "Okay", Rocky replied, with not much enthusiasm. Cece patted her. "Don't worry, it'll be fun, she said, smiling and nodding at the same time , her ginger curls bouncing. CeCe sat down on the floor with her legs criss-crossed and patted the seat next to her. Rocky sat down and CeCe immediately started the game. "Truth or Dare Rocky?, CeCe batted her eyelashes innocently at Rocky, while thinking of interesting things to ask Rocky. Rocky eyed CeCe. "Truth, but no horrid things like you usually do" she said quickly, being a little afraid that CeCe would be angry at her again. Thankfully CeCe didn't care. She put her hand up dramatically and closing her eyes she said "Don't be jealous of my good ideas", her voice filled with a self-centered attitude. Rocky shook her head. "You're always going to be that way aren't you?" "Well what can I say, yes I am", CeCe grinned. "Anyway, back to Truth or Dare, Rocky! You picked truth. Let's see…." And just to make Rocky even more impatient, she grinned evilly and stretched her arms in a fake yawn. "Have you ever kissed a boy?"she smirked. Rocky nervously looked around and attempted to say something. "I… ii… uh let me think… well… you know…..no", she said, letting out the "no" softly and quietly. CeCe gasped. "Rocky, I can't believe you have missed out on the wonders of kissing! We need to find you someone to kiss. Rocky's heart beat fast and she turned hot at that thought. "No no no! That is a bad, BAD idea CeCe." CeCe didn't listen to her pleas. "Oh I know... let's find someone we know!" she suggested. "Who do we know?" Rocky asked cautiously. Cece began counting boys on her fingers "…Gunther, Jake, Cameron…Deuce…., not noticing that Rocky blushed when Deuce was mentioned. "You'll kiss Deuce", she concluded. Rocky felt like a cold blizzard and a hot fire passed through her at the same time. "Kiss Deuce?" she thought. No way! Things would become awkward between us. And he has a girlfriend!" Despite having the opportunity to seize the chance to kiss Deuce, Rocky didn't want to make it awkward or make Deuce break up with Dina because of "cheating" on her. "No!" Rocky yelled. "I can't. He has a girlfriend, and...i..I can't kiss him. It would be too gross", she told CeCe while making a pretend gag face. But Cece's mind was settled. "Tomorrow evening, she smiled, nodding her head. "Oh yeaaahh!" Rocky tried not to cry. This was going to be a loooong day. How she wished that tomorrow would never come. But it did. And unfortunately for Rocky, she found herself at school the next day all too soon.
