Blair

With a final tug on his tie, Blair faced the mirror in his bathroom. It wasn’t full-length, but he could see enough of his torso to know the suit he wore fit him perfectly. A little more gel was needed on one stray lock of hair, but when all was said and done, he had to admit—he looked good.

A smile crept onto his lips as he thought of Sandra at his swim meet that morning. He couldn’t believe he’d gotten the nerve to invite her, and it was even more unbelievable that she had actually shown up. Sandra’s gaze hadn’t left him the entire time, and he swore it had given him superpowers. Cameron had been right—Blair had pictured Sandra waiting for him at the other end of the pool, watching, and he’d never swum so fast.

But he didn’t want her to know that. Not when he was still feeling things out.

As he studied himself in the mirror, self-doubt sprang up, and he began playing with his hair again. Maybe she liked guys who spiked their hair instead of laid it down—she seemed the type who liked someone who wasn’t completely straitlaced.

Blair used his fingers to pull his hair until it stood on end. Stepping back, he turned his head and examined the result.

Not bad.

But they say opposites attract—whoever ‘they’ were—and Sandra might like someone who wasn’t quite as quirky as she was.

Blair moved to mash his hair back down, but when he glanced in the mirror, he saw Gabe watching him from the doorway. And laughing.

“I’ve never seen you like this,” Gabe said. “I’m beginning to think I should have told Mom about who you’re going out with tonight.” He paused, glancing over his shoulder. “I think she’s in her room…”

Blair spun in place and faced his brother, who was already dressed and ready for the dance. Thank goodness he was going with his own group of friends. Blair raised a warning finger. “You promised. I can take the poster back.”

Gabe had sworn to not tell their mom who Blair was going to the dance with—in exchange for the original Back to the Future movie poster that hung in Blair’s room. Gabe had been eyeing it for a long time and drove a hard bargain. It was worth it for a date with Sandra.

Gabe laughed again as he turned away. “Fine. Besides, you won’t have a date to tell about if you don’t leave soon.”

Blair searched the counter for his phone. He swore he’d brought it into the bathroom with him, but it wasn’t there. Sprinting to his room, he found it lying on his bed.

He snatched it up and looked at the time.

Dang.

He was late. He was supposed to have picked Sandra up ten minutes ago.

With a quick scan of the room, Blair located his wallet on his dresser and his suit coat lying on the floor. He was just about to walk out the front door when Gabe thundered down the stairs.

“You forgot this!”

The corsage he’d bought for Sandra.
