The dinner was a torture for Mike. She had to sit there pretending to be a 16 year old girl. Everyone kept telling her how "pretty" she was. She also had to sit with the other students. She chose to sit beside Alistair and Tom. Big mistake. The first thing Tom asked was whether Michelle had a boyfriend. Without thinking she answered 'No'
For the rest of the evening Tom was trying to convince Mike that she should become his girlfriend. Unfortunately for Mike she did not have the experience of fobbing off boys that attractive girls usually learn at a young age.
To make matters worse Mary intervened. She could see what Tom was attempting to do and thought it was a great idea. She proposed that she and Grant (Mary's recently acquired jock boyfriend) could go on a double date to the movies with Michelle and Tom. Before Mike knew what was happening this date was arranged for the coming Wednesday night and it seemed there was nothing Mike could do to get out of it.
She went across to Sharon and pleaded with her to her to provide an excuse but Sharon just laughed it off. 'Don't be shy. Of course you should go. I won't stop you' and went back to talking with the other mothers on the adult table.
She spent the rest of the evening having to listen to Tom as he told of his recent holiday to England. Evidently his family must be very wealthy as it sounded like they had the trip of a lifetime. All the girls seemed to be in awe of him and giggled at all of his lame jokes. Mike also found out that Alistair and Ebony another of the cheerleaders, were very keen on each other. By the end of the evening her double date to see the latest James Bond film had become a triple date.
The evening couldn't finish soon enough for Mike. As soon as the meal finished she faked feeling ill in order to go back to the motel. Sharon and Mary wanted to stay but fortunately Tess the woman who had spoken with Mike at breakfast overheard and offered to take Mike back. She accepted eagerly.
20 minutes later she was back in the hotel room. As she unfolded the sofa to make her bed she found another present from her mother.
There was a note on a shopping bag 'Something more appropriate to wear to bed' Mike opened it up to find a lavender nightie. Her own boy pyjamas were not to be found. Reluctantly she put the nightie on, cleaned her teeth and went to bed.
She was still tossing in the bed, unable to get comfortable because of the boobs she now had when Sharon and Mary returned.
Immediately she was out of bed and complaining to Sharon how Mary had tricked him into going on a double date. Sharon listened to Mike's tale but then let Mary explain her version of the story. According to Mary "Michelle" had led Tom on.
They went to bed with the issue unresolved. Sharon said 'I will think about it'
