Chapter Fifteen

Birdie

It's Saturday night and we're heading to the event to accept Lou's award. Traffic is bad so what should've taken twenty minutes has already taken an hour.

"Just a few more miles," Cal says. "It's the next exit."

"I'm getting nervous," I say, taking a deep breath.

"Why are you nervous? I'm the one who has to give an acceptance speech."

"I've never gone to something like this. I'm not comfortable around rich people."

"You're comfortable around me. And Taylor. My parents."

"Yeah, but you guys aren't like the typical rich people. You don't talk in a snobby accent or hold a cup with your pinky finger sticking out."

He laughs. "That's not what rich people do. You've been watching too many old movies. Speaking of that, how's your movie class?"

"I've realized I'm terrible at writing reviews. I don't know what to say. When I watch movies, I just watch. I don't analyze every little detail of the story. And it's a time consuming class, having to watch all those movies."

"I'll watch them with you if you want some company. Then when they're over we can discuss them so you'll know what to write."

"You'd really do that for me?"

"Sure. I love old movies. You know that."

"Actually, I didn't until just recently when Taylor told me."

"Guess you don't know me as well as you thought you did," he says, glancing at me.

"Guess not."

Traffic comes to a stop and I feel him looking at me.

"That dress looks great on you. You like it?"

"I love it." I run my hand over the silky fabric. "I've never had a dress like this."

It's a dark blue evening gown that's sleeveless with a square neckline. I didn't think I liked a square neckline but I do on this dress. It makes it look elegant, or maybe regal is a better word. The color is regal too. It's a deep blue fabric that has hints of black swirling through it. The dress is fitted through the body then flares out just slightly at the bottom. It's a gorgeous design.

Barb loaned me her pearls for the night, which I thought would look ridiculous on me but they actually look perfect with the dress.

"You did okay, Tuckerman." I shoot him a smile.

"I'd have to agree."

Cal picked out the dress. He saw it the minute we walked in the store. I thought he only picked it because he wanted to avoid having to shop for hours, but he really did love the dress. I did too. I tried on at least ten other dresses but kept coming back to the blue one. Cal somehow knew it was the perfect dress for me.

We finally reach our exit but we're still barely moving. I look out the window and see a billboard with a giant green truck.

"Cal, look!" I point to the billboard. "End of the month!"

He sees it and smiles. "Monster truck show. Your favorite."

"I want to go so bad. I missed the last one."

"Then go."

"It's too expensive. And I don't have anyone to go with."

"Would Isla go?"

"She would if I'd go to the ballet with her but I really don't like the ballet.
