The next day was Thursday, and I would not be able to see Tay because he & his brothers were taping their Tulsa Christmas Special. I pulled on my long, black dress. I put on my Charles David shoes and slammed the door behind me. I hoped in my pink car and turned the pink knob on my radio to KIDS FM, the local radio station in Tulsa. I had heard that they were giving away tickets to the taping of Hanson’s Christmas Special today. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice on the radio:
“OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! DDId I WIN????? DiD I WIN!!!!????,” Barbara asked the DJ frantically.
“NO, I’m sorry your caller #101, BYE,” the DJ answered. I laughed. Some Hanson fans were soooooooooo pathetic, I thought to myself. I turned on my mustang and drove to school. I pulled into the same parking spot I had pulled into everyday of my high school years. I shut my car door pushed my leopard sunglasses on my face and walked confidently into the school. I quickly spotted Dominique, Morgan, and Mark.
“Don’t you two ever quit it?” I asked as I walked up to Morgan and Mark whose lips were just about glued together. They didn’t answer, so I turned to Dominique.
“What time are you coming over today,” I asked Dominique.
“probably like 4 or 5, is that ok?” she answered.
“fine,”I replied. Then, not expecting any good-byes from Morgan and Mark, we left for Spanish.
*********************************
It was the day of the dance and I was very excited!! I went downstairs to eat my pop tart. Then, the doorbell rang. I pulled on my light blue, teri-cloth robe with the moon & star on the back, and went to answer the door.
“Hi,” Tay said as we embraced and then kissed.
“Wanna come in, we have lots of pop tarts?” I asked him.
“Sure,”he replied. I looked him up and down. From the bottoms of his burgundy docs, to the tips of his golden hair, Tay was perfect. I stared into his starry, blue eyes for a moment and then took his hand and led him inside.
“I have to get dressed, wait here k,” I said as I kissed him on the cheek. I went upstairs and slipped my black tank top over my head. Then I put on my purple, velvet pants and my white Mary Jane’s and dashed down the stairs and into Tay’s arms. Tay and I finished our pop tarts(definitely the strawberry ones) and went out the door. Tay was driving me to school that day. He put on his black sunglasses, pulled his hair back into a ponytail and started his black viper. When the car stopped I scooted over and put my arms around his neck. I kissed his perfect lips. He deepened the kiss.
“Bye, see ya at 7,”I said not wanting to leave the safety of Tay’s arms.

After school that day I reached under my sink and dragged out every single piece of make-up that I owned. We had to look absolutely perfect for the dance. Dominique and Morgan would be over soon, so I neatened up my room. Then, the doorbell rang, and Dominique and Morgan came inside.
“What are you guys gonna wear?” I asked them. Dominique reached inside her purple Adidas bag and showed me her dress. It was long, black, and had a sparkly mesh covering. Then, she whipped out the cutest creepers I had ever seen. They had a silver star on each side.
“How about you Morgan?” I asked.
“ Member that cool dress you wanted at Hot Topic????” she asked.
“Yeah, DID YOU GET IT!!!!!!????” I said.
“Yep!” she replied.
“Cool! What shoes?” I asked her excitedly.
“My awesome docs from Nordstrom’s!” Morgan answered.
“Cool!”I exclaimed.
“What are you wearing, Gwen?”
I showed them my knee-length black skirt. It was a silky-white with a black lace covering. I pulled out my short black halter-top, and my sparkly, black tiara that matched perfectly. And my shoes were black, velvet creepers with 4 inch platforms.
“cool!!!!!!!!!”Dominique and Morgan said excitedly at my outfit.
“Can I do your make-up Morgan?” I asked.
“Sure,”she replied, plopping herself down on a stool in my huge beautiful bathroom. Dominique went in the other room to get ready. I spread a thick layer of shiny, black mascara on Morgan’s eyelashes. Then, I put her short, blonde hair into two sailor-moonish buns. I dipped my wooden, Garden Botanika eye shadow brush in a tub of burgundy eye shadow. I spread it generously around her hazel-brown eyes. To finish her off, I put my favorite Avon metallic lip gloss on her lips. Then, Dominique appeared in the door. She looked sooooo cute. Her blonde streaks looked awesome against her dark brown hair. I spread two layers of Chanel eye shadow on my eyes. And then a thick layer of my fave MAC lipstick on my lips. I positioned my sparkly tiara in my short blonde hair and curled the ends of it up. I heard a knock at the door and ran to get it. It was Tay and Zac!!!!!!
“hi, princess,” Tay said as he kissed me on the cheek,” I hope you guys don’t mind if Zac comes along. He brought his girlfriend Starla.”
“No problem,” I said, as I looked out the door wondering where Starla was.
“She’s kind of SHY,” Zac commented about his girlfriend as he dragged her out from behind a bush.
“Hi Starla,” I said politely and held out my hand.
“WWWWWAHHHHHHHHHHHHH,”Starla screamed as she ran behind Zac, desperately clinging to his shirt.
