I called Mom to tell her about the plan. She was so willing to have Bear at home. I knew she would. Mom loves kids. Shawn dropped me and Bear at my house. He'd go to pick up Aaliyah and then, he'll come back here. Noah went to his house to get ready.

Right now, I'm in Mom's room, trying to find something to wear.

"Oh, my God, Mom. Now I know why you like clothes. They serve you. You never know what will happen."

"Hate to tell you I told you so, but I told you so." She shrugs.

"I know!"

"What about this?" Mom holds out a very short green skirt.

"Too short for me."

"What about this?" Now she has my attention. It's a red dress. Glittery and a little short. But it's really pretty.

"I don't know, Mom." I'm hesitant.

"Come on, Soph! It's a good one. And you have the body for it."

Oh. Okay. Why not?

"Okay. Fine. Let me try it."

And I do. It looks good, if I'm being honest.

"Wow. Wow, Soph. So good."

"Thanks, Mom."

"Okay. That's the one, Mom."

"Yes!"

And I get ready. Mom curled my hair and did my makeup. I look at myself in the mirror.
I look.....pretty. I feel pretty.  I look....hot.

"Oh, my God, Mom. You're the best."

"You look so damn pretty."

I get a call from Shawn.

"Hey, babe."

"Hey."

"You ready? I picked Aaliyah up and am ready to come pick you up."

"I am ready. Come pick me up."
