*Tina?*

*Sorry! Yes! That sounds perfect!*

*haha, ok Tee, until then, goodnight ;)*

*Goodnight :)*

I closed my book and threw them to the floor. After having a short conversation with her, I was done studying. She was all I could think of. I wished Friday would come soon. But alas, I had to wait. I reluctantly picked my books back up and continued to study. I needed to get her out of my head. I vowed to not text her until then. But of course that didn’t work.

We had been texting each other all week, I checked my phone whenever I could. We’d talk into the late hours of the night. She’d tell me all about her day and I did the same. I was thoroughly distracted but I found a way to clear my mind. Finally, I was all done with my finals, I wouldn’t find out until Monday if I was valedictorian. But right now I was worried about one thing and one thing only, what was I going to wear tonight? I scrambled down the all looking for my friends. I heard laughter, screams of delight and music, the last day of school was always a madhouse.

"Carmen, I have an emergency," I said as soon as I found my friends.

"What’s wrong? What happened?"

"I have my first date with Bette tonight and I have nothing to wear. I don’t know what to do!"

"Don’t worry mama, I got you."

I hurried home after Carmen told me she’d meet me there after grabbing some things. I ran up the stairs and threw down my things. I threw my closet doors open, perhaps if I needed, I could put something together real quick. Ugh, I need to invest in better clothing, now that I have a reason to. No boy was ever worth that, but Bette deserves to have the best.

"Tina," I heard my mother call. Crap I forgot to tell them about my date.

"Yes momma," I answered as soon as I got down the stairs

"Why are you hurryin up those stairs and not saying anything? I want to hear about your last final."

"I’m sorry momma, I’ve just been distracted."

"I know, but I’m glad it’s just school," she said and I felt my face fluster.
