On the night of the Halloween dance, my friends, myself, and the rest of our decorating committee, arrive early to get everything set up. My friends and I have all bought our dresses and make-up bags to get ready after we finish setting up. We’ve only been working for half an hour but I think I may need to hit the locker room for a shower before changing into my dress.
Max shows up more than a few minutes late but he does show. He made the commitment to and I respect the fact that he is here to fulfill it. I am doing the same thing. He smiles at me from a distance but doesn’t approach me. Instead, he stays with Tiffany and her friends, which sadly, makes me a little jealous. I know Tiffany has a boyfriend and Max is just trying to stay away from me as I asked but I can’t help the twinge of jealously that hits.
