Closet light blazing, Raven flipped through her clothes. She had a few special outfits for nights like tonight, i.e., Boy Nights. There were her hot jeans that she thought hugged her butt perfectly and looked awesome with her black stretchy Soweto shirt.

Deciding on that outfit, she pulled the two items from the closet and got dressed. The weather had been mild today, but temps were still only low forties. Which jacket would look good with the outfit?

Back in the closet, she searched for the military-style jacket she’d bought at Two-One, a vintage store downtown. The jacket had dull gold snaps and a high collar. The faded army green would go perfectly with the black long-sleeved shirt.

She laid the jacket out on the bed and went down the hall to the bathroom she and Jordan shared. Looking in the mirror, she tried to decide what to do with her hair. Wanting it down but messy, she grabbed the tub of expensive hair product she’d bought online at Sephora and ran some of it through her hair. She bent over and scrunched the tresses, then flipped her head back. Now she had a messy, wavy look going.

Perfect.

With one swoop of mascara and a little bit of dark brown eyeliner, she was ready to go. Back in her room, she slipped into the jacket, sliding her cell phone in the pocket.

“Mom, I’m going out!” she called from the hallway.

“Where?” Ms. Valenti called from her workroom. She was probably piecing together another intricate scrapbook design for a class at Scrappe.

“The movies.”

“Which movie?”

Raven ducked her head in the workroom. Her mother was hunched over a long white table, paper and glue guns and markers spread out in disarray.

What was a safe answer? Anything rated R was out. Romance or family movies were usually on her mother’s OK list.

“Uh…Summer Camp.” Lots of PG action in that movie. Instead, she and Zac would probably skip the movie altogether, or see Underground, the one Jordan was going to.

“Okay,” Ms. Valenti said, whipping out a black marker. She turned in her seat. “Be home by midnight, okay?”

“I will.” Raven said good-bye and left.
