The Mask That They Wore

Plans Were Made

The Valentine's house came into view as Christine took a turn. She parked her car close to the home and she got out her car. She almost forgot her bag, but she turned back before coming close to the door. She knocked twice waiting for the door to open, which it did after a while.

“Hi Christine!”, said Brooke as she invited Christine in, she had a face mask on.

“Hi Brooke, who has arrived by the way?”

“We are all here now. Come upstairs, we are going to paint our nails soon so we can talk then.”

They headed upstairs into Chloe's room, Jenna was on her phone checking some social media, she looked up and saw Christine, her face turned into a big smile.

“Hey Chris.”, said Jenna as she patted the space next to her. “How are you?”

Christine blushed a bit the answered, “I'm good, just thinking.”

“Hey girls choose the colors for your nails and Chris, why don't you tell us why were gathered here today.”, Chloe said as she grabbed the purple and silver colors.

“So, before beginning this meeting I have to announce some warnings. First, this is between us since I'm already breaking my promise towards Jere with this whole ordeal.”

“Oh, this is about Jerry,”, Brooke said. “did he finally realize that he has a thing for Michael?”

“Yes, but that's part one of the problem that I need help with.”, Christine said. “He told me that he discovered that he had a thing for Michael, but he also obtained a crush on the stranger at the party.”

She explained everything that had happened between Jeremy and the party. How he was confused about who to go for. The girls listened closely, putting their opinions here and there until she finished.

“So, Jeremy is so confused between who to choose, even though it is obvious that he should go for Michael, since they have more in common. He pretty much doesn't want to do anything until he solves this dilemma of his.”

“And they say that women are complicated.”, Chloe said as she had Brooke brush her hair.

Brooke added giggling, “So he has a type considering what you have told us.”

“Wait, did you guys notice that something just doesn't add up.”, Jenna added as she painted Christine's nails.

“What do you mean Jenna?”, Chloe asked.

“What Michael said in the phone call doesn't add up with what Jere remembers.”, she explained. “Chris can you repeat what Michael said about the party?”

“Well, he said that once he arrived at the party, he went inside and picked him up from the bathroom and took him to his car.”, Christine said as she recalled the conversation.

“Now what did Jeremy say that he remembered?”

“He said that the stranger….THE STRANGER WAS THE ONE WHO TOOK HIM TO THE CAR!”, Christine practically screamed.

Chloe shushed Christine, “Don't scream, we don't want to get into trouble with the neighbors.”

“Sorry, but, could it be?”, Christine asked herself.

“Now I'm confused.”, Brooke said.

Jenna then answered, “Brooke, it doesn't match up since Jeremy said that the stranger was the one to help him to the car and Michael said it was him.”

“Could it have been that it was a drunk misunderstanding?”, Brooke said.

Chloe laughed, “Yeah it may just have been a misunderstanding since they kind of look similar.”
