Perilous parties

Sarah knew right away what she wanted to wear because she had been looking forward to it since Thanksgiving. She picked out a white velvet knee length dress that had white faux pearl snowflakes embroidered along the chest. What no one else would know except maybe Jill if she was lucky would know was she was wearing a thong she had borrowed without asking from Tara just for Jill. She thought it was silly that she'd wear something for someone who may not even see it but the thought did excite her.

Her father wore his nice black dress suit while her mother wore a beautifully dark green dress. "You look lovely mom, and dad very handsome." Sarah told her parents as she gathered in living room. Her brother came in hiding a mischievous smile. Tara came in pulling Sarah aside. "Look there wasn't anything else that fit her and no one else is her size and she wanted to look nice for you." "For me?" Sarah asked trying to pretend like she didn't know what she meant. With great restraint Tara managed not to roll her eyes. "Just be nice." she whispered hearing Tom's door close. Sarah gasped as Jill entered the room wearing a charcoal black suit similar to Martin's. Tom giggled seeing a girl wearing his spare sunday suit.

"I wouldn't laugh. You're the same size as a girl." she told him as she passed. When she saw Sarah's shocked face she blushed. "I uh..I couldn't find anything else." Sarah looked to her family and nodded. She wanted to tell her so bad but had to wait. The family left in their van while the girls took the hatchback. "I..." Jill started softly, Sarah had never seen her like this before. "I'm sorry again." Sarah was used to being the one out of her element. "I think you look handsome." Tara interjected. "You do." Sarah agreed.

When they reached the church Sarah tried to pull Jill aside but she got pulled aside by her mother first. "Hun, just remember I love you." Sarah was distracted by her strange deceleration. Her father took her by her hand smiling "Sweetie, come here I want you to meet someone." Someone? A very handsome red headed boy met her father at the church entrance. "Mr. Watkins. Glad to see you again." "Good to see you too, James. Sarah this is James." Sarah shook his hand. "Uh hi." "And especially good to see you Sarah. I hope you'll save the first dance for me." Sarah wanted to speak up but was cut off by her father "I think that'd be a great idea." Sarah knew what that meant, it meant he had already told James she would. James offered his arm to guide her in. She looked to her mother's annoyed face she knew it would be easier to just go along. She begrudgingly took his arm as he lead her into the church.

Tara stared in shock as her sister walked into the church with the strange guy. "Look I'm sure-" "Whatever." Jill followed into the church. The family sat at their table with Jill and James. So Sarah was **** to play nice. It wasn't that James wasn't nice but the more he talked the less she could spend time with Jill. Sarah didn't think of the fact she would be in front of her entire family at this party her only though. James stood and offered his hand "Care to dance?" Sarah nodded thinking of getting it over with. Jill watched Sarah dance with James, hating it the entire time. "You know she doesnt-" Tara started to say but Jill walked away. What was she going to do tonight anyway? Sit at a table all night?

Jill found a buffet table filled with wine and no one around to guard it. "Hmm trusting." she laughed snatching a glass of wine and chugging it before taking another one. "Well someone is thirsty." A pretty voice said behind her. Jill spun around and came face to face with a beautiful girl. "You gonna card me?" Jill asked taking another gulp of wine. The strange girl laughed. "Maybe, I'd settle for just a drink and someone to talk to." Jill looked out at the dance floor Sarah still dancing with the idiot. "Sure." "You know you're supposed to sip the wine. It's much more fun that way."

After the song finally ended Sarah thanked James for the dance. "So look I was wondering if I could have your number?" She tried to find a nice way to reject him, she never had to before...or a reason too frankly. "I don't think that'll work out. I'm not going to be here after a few weeks." He looked disappointed as she walked away to her table immediately noticing only Tom was still at the table. "Where's jill?" "She's over there talking with some girl." Sarah spotted the two sitting alone at a table the beautiful girl laughing and brushing Jill's arm.

Jill laughed at the girl's joke when she spotted Sarah walking towards her. Jill stumbled trying to stand. "Hey baby! This is Tammy. She knows a lot about wine." Sarah frowned and waved at the new girl. "Hi." Tammy waved back. "She's a little lightweight this one." Jill ignored Tammy and leaned heavily on Sarah. "We need to go." She said not caring if she was rude to Tammy. If her parents saw Jill drunk they'd have a cow and would never let her around again. Sarah practically dragged her away. "You know you're heavier than you look." "Yeah? How heavy was Jamey boy?" Sarah rolled her eyes. "You didn't strike me as the jealous type. You know I don't like him right?" "I'm not jealous of him." Sarah parked Jill in a pew "Then why drinking?" Jill seemed to sober up for a second. "I'm not fifteen, I know you like me okay." Jill looked at her suit and frowned. "Do you think this suit is stupid?" Sarah giggled. "You're very cute. You look like princess charming. The girl of my dreams." "Be serious." "I am." Jill stared at Sarah's sweet face. She is being serious. Jill staggered out of the pew and helped her up taking her back to the dance hall.
