“Grey or green?” Adam asked Eli holding up two ties. “Which one do you think Katie would like better?”

“Uh…grey?” Eli said shrugging. “What color is her dress?”

“Black…and white I think.” Adam threw the green tie back in his bag. “I’ll just go with the grey.”

“Good call.” Eli said fixing his shirt which he buttoned unevenly by accident. “So, you and Katie? I gotta say, congrats on you two.”

Adam faked a smile. “Yeah…we’re great…” Eli noticed his friend’s uncertainty.

“Um…I would have thought you would be ecstatic to have a steady girlfriend.”

“I like her Eli it’s just…it’s nothing there.” Adam plopped on Eli’s bed sighing. “We haven’t even kissed yet. Is that a bad sign?”

Eli turned away from the mirror to face his friend. “Maybe she’s taking it slow?”

“Or maybe she’s not into me the way I thought she was. I mean look at you and Imogen, you guys got together with a kiss, and Drew and Bianca…ok well.” Adam drifted off. “I really like her Eli but what if…”

“Dude, its prom night. We’re spending a night in a cabin in the woods. Something’s bound to happen.” Eli said checking his shirt and then putting on his jacket. “Now get dressed, imma go call Imogen and see if they’re almost ready.” Eli patted Adam on the back walking out the room.

Adam sighed pulling out his suit and walking towards the mirror. “Maybe I’m just not what she wants.”

“Alright ladies, I’m off to visit Holly J at the hospital, I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” Fiona walked up to Imogen and Bianca hugging them and waved bye to Katie. “Don’t have too much fun in the woods.” She winked and walked out the door.

“So, prom night tonight can go three ways you know.” Bianca smiled pursing her lips as she adjusted her dress. “Either we’re all getting laid, or we’re all going to die, or we’re all gonna die while getting laid.”

Imogen and Katie exchanged glances then looked at her uncomfortable. “Thanks for giving us the mental image Bianca.” Katie rolled her eyes as she walked across the loft to get her heels and phone. “Ugh where are you Mare.” She mumbled.

Imogen stared in the mirror. “How should I wear my hair?” She said cocking her head to the side. Bianca walked over to the flustered girl.

“Down with curls?” Bianca said letting Imogen’s hair fall down. “I can curl it for you if you want.” Imogen gave her unsure look. “I bet Eli would think you’d look caliente.” Bianca winked. After Imogen took too long to answer Bianca sighed. “Ok that’s it I’m not taking no for an answer. Katie go plug in the curlers.” Bianca turned to Katie who put her phone down and plugged the curlers in.

Imogen smiled at her best friend as she adjusted her dress and went to answer the ringing phone. “Hello?” She said searching for her shoes.

“Hey Imo, are you guys almost over here?” Eli asked pushing some hair out of his eyes.

“Bianca’s about to do my hair and we’re still waiting for Marisol.” Imogen sighed turning around to see if Katie and Bianca were still getting ready. “So are you guys ready?”

“Well Adam and I are but Drew is cleaning his shoes in the kitchen.” Eli looked from the living to the kitchen to see if Drew was finished. “Did you finish packing for tonight?”

“Yeah but I don’t know if I should bring a blanket.” Imogen said looking at herself from different angles in the mirror.

“I packed one; you can cuddle with me I’ll keep you warm.” Eli smirked picturing the smile that was probably on her face.
