PART 2 ....Kiss the boys....

Camille . . . .

Monday found Camille all keyed up and bursting to talk about their ‘Looks’.  The weekend had been completely tough because they hadn’t been able to talk about their night at the club at all.  On Saturdays and Sundays, Lydie and her father always did the family shopping and cleaning together.  It was the Denton household ritual, ever since Lydie’s mom had died when they were in the sixth grade.  Kaori was busy too, off visiting her grandparents.  So Camille had been stuck with no one to rehash the exciting night to.  Luckily, Monday morning, all three girls had Economics together at fourth period.  It was even better because Ms. Hill was out and they had a chance to talk, huddled in study hall.  Kaori had convinced their substitute teacher to let them come down to study hall since they were ahead on all their work; the rest of the class had to stay behind to review notes. 

Camille was especially happy since the entire school was buzzing about the ‘sexy new girls’ talking to the cute guys at the club Saturday night.  Those girls HAD to be her, Kaori, and Lydie, she realized.

“So,” Camille bent low over her notebook and grinned, “how did you guys like the club?”  Eyes wide, she gazed happily at her cronies.  “I think we looked great!”  Even as she was talking, her eyes darted around, checking.  They didn’t actually want anyone to overhear their conversation, did they? 

Kaori showed off her new perfect smile.  “I still can’t get used to it.  My teeth look … straight!  And my hair was so cute that night.  This is so perfect, guys!”  Then she took her own quick peek over the shoulder.  “Oh, I forgot to tell you guys this.”  Looking as if she was waiting for them to ask, Kaori scowled.  “Well?”

“Well, we’re waiting.  Tell us,” said Lydie, with mock impatience.

“Exactly.  What is it?” Camille was still beaming.

“Well,” Kaori motioned them in even closer.  “Remember the boy I was talking to?  He gave me his number…”

Lydie raised her brows.  “The one from Addison High?”

“Yeah, him.  What do you think?”

Camille waved her hand impatiently.  “Never mind that.  Did you call him yet?”

“No.”  Kaori’s mouth dropped into a perfect ‘O’.  “Call him?  Are you kidding? I don’t even know him!”

“Well, Kaori, that’s why a guy gives you his number, right?  I think you should call him.  In fact, you should call him this afternoon.  We can all be there, telling you what to say!”  Camille was excited.  Call a boy on the phone after school?  Yup, next on the list.

“No!”  This was Lydie, eyes wide.  “Do NOT call!”

“Why not?”  Both Camille and Kaori turned to stare at their friend.

“Because-,” Lydie stuttered, trying to find the right words to say.  “Calling a boy on the phone?  That’s moving so fast.  It’s something that girls looking for trouble do.  Girls that make themselves easy for guys.” 

Both Camille and Kaori just looked at her.  She tried a different approach.  “IF she calls, it should be a private conversation.”

“Why?  We’re all in this together!”  Camille whined.  “We have to learn from each other!”

“We can’t just intrude on their privacy, that’s horrible!  What if he wants to talk about – things?”  With her tone, they knew exactly what she was talking about when she said ‘things’.  “Since when do we start eavesdropping on people?”
