I examined myself in the mirror as I got ready for Steve's Christmas party. I was wearing a velvet dark green dress. I really liked it. Max helped me pick it out at the store so it made me like it even more.

He swore it was just a 'get together', but I knew damn well there was gonna be alcohol and weed. It wouldn't be a party at Steve's house without them.
"Jane, what did you do with my sleeping socks??" My dad asked loudly from the other side of the house.
I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. I would never dare to touch his socks. I'd probably get some sort of disease.
"I've never gone as far as consider doing anything with your socks!" I yelled back, continuing to stare at myself in the mirror and play around with my hair. I stopped for a moment and thought about the fact that my dad called his socks his 'sleeping socks'.. "What are sleeping socks anyways?" I added as I exited the bathroom to look for him.
"Socks that I sleep in." He responded with a tone that implied I was crazy for not knowing what sleeping socks are. He turned around to face me after digging in the couch cushions for his socks and automatically raised his eyebrows at the outfit I was wearing. "Where are you going in that?"
I looked down at my dress and looked back at him, wondering what was wrong with my choice of outfit. "Steve's house for a Christmas party.."
He looked at me with his "seriously.." eyes and sighed.
"What?" I huffed, "Max picked it out!"
"So are you wearing this for yourself or Max?" He questioned, leaning against the wall nearest to him.
"Both." I answered.
"Who's going to be at the party?" He asked suspiciously.
"The party along with Steve, Nancy, and Robin." I replied, fighting the urge to roll my eyes.
"Okay.. What's going to happen at the party?"
"Dad. Please stop interrogating me and keep looking for your sleeping socks." I sighed.
"I'm gonna call that Harrington kid and make sure he keeps an eye on you and Max.." He announced, walking over to the phone to dial Steve's number.
"Okay go ahead." I said, trying my best to act like I didn't care. I was annoyed he was acting so protective all of a sudden when this wasn't the first time I was going to a party at Steve's house.
I went to my room and shut the door immediately after I walked through my doorframe. I picked out the shoes I wanted to wear and took Max's gift out from under my bed. At that point I was already completely prepared for the party. I had nothing else to do. I just sat down on my bed and waited for Steve to arrive so he could drive me to his house for the party.
