Abby tried to be understanding to Bryn as they got into Bryn’s car. After all, Bryn had patiently waited for Abby to finish track practice, just to give her a ride home. Never mind that Abby had been hoping Kent might offer a ride. But it was obvious that Bryn’s nose was out of joint about something related to prom. And the more Abby listened, the muddier it seemed to get.

“So let me get this clear,” Abby said finally. “You’re bummed because prom’s going to be held at Le Chateau?”

“No, I’m glad it’ll be at Le Chateau. That’s a beautiful venue. They have the best ballroom in town, and their chandeliers are from France. I’m upset that we have to reschedule prom earlier just to get Le Chateau. What I’m trying to tell you is that our prom is just a little over three weeks off now! Can you believe it?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Are you kidding? It’s horrible news. Before, we had over six weeks to get ready. Now it’s more like three.”

“Three weeks sounds fine. And if you’re excited about prom, wouldn’t you be glad that it’s coming quicker? Kinda like Christmas when we were kids?”

“No, it’s not like that at all. Okay, sure it would be just fine if you were ready. Like if you already found the perfect gown and shoes and accessories and everything. And if you’d made your hair appointment, a mani-pedi appointment, and maybe a spray tan, and if your flowers were ordered and you’d—”

“Seriously? You really believe everyone who goes to prom will do all of that, Bryn? Because I assure you, I won’t.”

“Well, duh.” Bryn laughed. “Lucky for you, you don’t need a spray tan.”

“Very funny.”

“And, oh yeah, I left out one little detail. A date.”

“Oh . . .” Abby smoothed her hair. The damp spring air had made it frizz up. Although just this afternoon, while waiting for the guys to finish up in the high-jump pit, Kent had told her he liked it that way.

“Aren’t you listening to me?” Bryn demanded.

“Sorry.” Abby smiled to herself. “Guess I was spacing a little.”

“I was just saying that this means everyone has to get über-busy—we’ve got to work fast. That’s why I’m calling an emergency DG meeting for tomorrow evening.”

“But I thought we were having that surprise party for Devon tomorrow night.”

“We are, but it will have to be part surprise party and part DG meeting. Because we’ve got to get this thing with the guys off center. We need them to step up. I mean, it’s not impossible to shop for a dress without a date lined up, but I personally think it’s easier to do it the other way.”

Abby laughed. “I’ve seen you do it the other way.”

“Maybe so, but I’d like to do it right for prom.”

“So who are you hoping will ask you?” Abby glanced at Bryn’s profile. Even with her forehead creased and her mouth puckered up, Bryn was still very pretty. You’d think she’d have an easy time getting dates, although this past year had proved otherwise.
