Me, Tami, and Mary were in Mary's room. I was ready my book on the bed Tami next to me and Mary in her chair eating pickles

"Y'all. Don't hate me, but...I don't wanna go to the ball."Mary said in a timid voice

"You have to go I've been working on our dresses for two weeks," Tami told her

"Yeah and this is the perfect opportunity for you to show everyone how much of an amazing dancer you are, "I told her flipping the page of my book

"You're one to talk, you haven't sung outside of music class since freshman year, "Tami said looking at me

"Yeah and I'd like to keep it that way thank you very much, "I told her, my eyes still focused on the page even though I wasn't really reading

"I know. I know. It's just-i don't know it's on Valentine's Day and we don't even have dates" Mary said eating her pickles

"Plus everyone will be wearing masks which is really weird" she added stuffing her mouth with more pickles

"But that's good. we can each meet a handsome mysterious stranger" Tami said trying to convince her

"How will we know if he's handsome if he's wearing a mask, "Mary asked

"Oh, by how he dances. Hot guys always dance the best."Tami said as if it was an obvious answer

"And sing"I pitched in

"Oh you would know miss mason lover"Tami teased and I flipped her off with a straight face before going back to my book

"Anyway-I don't really fit in here".Tami began but Mary cut her off with her rant

"So why go and pretend like I do? Guys don't even know I exist." she continued to rant before stuffing her face with more pickles

"Again, no one will know who anyone is. There's no such thing as not fitting in. If there's a guy you like, then he'll meet the real you. Not some fake you that's been created by the hierarchy of cliques at our lame-ass high school. I mean don't even get me started-"once again as rant began but this time it came from Tami

"Tami, Tami! you should really breathe between monologues," Mary told her

"You're going to the ball," Tami told her

"Shit clove. we forgot to start cleaning."Mary told me as we both got up in a hurry me throwing my book across the room
**************************************************

Tami left when we went to clean promising to call us later.

Mary and I were each scrubbing different sections of the floor in the living room. This was the last of the work we had to do before we could finally relax.

I rang out the sponge in the bucket next to me when I heard the footsteps of high heels.I look up to see Dominique standing in front of us both. Probably to tell us to clean more or make food. Well joke on her we've already cleaned every room in this house.
