I closed my eyes. Then looked at myself in the mirror. I had two outfits picked out and I was trying to see wat he was wearing. A word popped into my head. Black. Sighing a little, I put on the shorter, puffer black dress. I took another look in the mirror. No eyeliner, mascara was wat I really needed to make my eyes pop! Putting on thick, gooey mascara, I heard the stairs creek. That usually meant someone was coming up the stairs.
"Mother," I said,"you can't sneak up on me."Clearing out her ancient throat, she spoke.
"You look quite fetching! I don't recall ever seeing you in a dress!"
"Mom, calm down. Im only wearing it for a date." Her eyes became cold and hard.
"With whom?"
"No one, it's not a big deal. Were just going to scare some little and"big" kids. It's not like a date date. "
"Really? It doesn't look like it. You're wearing a dress. "
Its a Halloween costume." My voice shook. Crap, it does that when I'm nervous. She didn't do anything.
"Okay," she said. "But im your Mother dearest and I know everything. "
