Jennifer went through the school day thinking little of Kyle's phone call. That night, she got cleaned up and dressed for the party. She decided to be a little showy for Ben, as the night was rather warm and the occasion didn't call for anything heavy or formal. She put on a tight-fitting blouse and a short black skirt. After putting the finishing touches on her makeup, she headed out to her friend Alice's car and the two drove to Ben's house.
A member of Ben's football team answered the door and showed them in. The living room was full of students, mostly jocks and the rest of Jennifer's and Alice's cheerleading squad and exchanged a few comments with her teammates. ("Isn't Derek on the basketball team just gorgeous?" "I saw Mike checking me out twice tonight!" "What's that dweeb from Algebra doing here? Probably catering." "Look, it's Ben!")
Jennifer snapped her neck to where her friend was staring. Her eyes instantly fell on the star quarterback and she felt lightheaded for an instant.
