Friday:
Max rushes into the house as soon as she gets home and heads upstairs towards the bathroom. She strips out of her work clothes and tosses them into the dirty clothes hamper, while the tub fills up with hot water. Every muscle in her body was hurting from cutting up a few more bushes the client wanted to be removed. The work helped calm her down because she was nervous about her date tonight.

Since she and Greg didn’t have a driver's license or learner permit. Her sister and her girlfriend were going to be on their ride tonight. Once the water level hits the level she likes, she slips in and lets the hot water soothe her aching shoulders. She scrubs her body with the new body scrubber her sister brought home for her and uses the scented soap.

She washes her hair three times, before adding the conditioner and letting it set like her sister suggested. The last time she danced with Brandi was at the goth club her friend Emily had taken her to. A smile appears on Max’s face as she thinks about how much fun Emily is having.

Emily had gone to spend the summer with her cousins in New York. They were heavily into the goth scene like Emily. According to the email she received from Emily, she and her cousins had gone and seen a band. She said the drummer of the band was the son of the drummer from Wild Fire. She also designed and made some of the best gothic clothes around.

Max didn’t have any idea who Wild Fire was until she googled them and listened to some of their music. Their music reminded her of the pop metal bands from the 80’s. She listened to a few more of their songs and had to admit they were really good. She saw that the drummer was a gothic chick who went by the stage name Dusk.

She looks through some more information and finds Dusk’s adopted son Moon. He was gothic like his mother and played drums as well. He was also the youngest member of the band called Vamps. They had produced six albums and had several hit records. Their most popular was a song named Midnight Lover.

Max listened to the song and couldn’t believe the dark undertones and lyrics of the song. It sent shivers throughout his body, but you could feel the emotion buried in the song. It told how the desire of a young woman had drawn the attention of a vampire and how much she loved him.
However, she wasn’t ready to leave the warmth of the daylight, to join him forever in the darkness.

She finishes up her bath and dries off. She walks into her bedroom and notices her mother has laid out her clothes for tonight. A smile forms on her face when she notices a garter belt and stocking lying on the bed. There was a note from her sister instructing her to wear them tonight.

Max starts getting ready, following the directions her sister showed her last night. From how to put her make-up on to what body powder she should wear to where she needs to spitz her perfume. By the time Max finished getting dressed and putting her make-up on, she looked like a million dollars.

She grabbed her small purse and transferred some money, her band cards, her ID card, and the standard items she should carry with her. She stands in front of the mirror to admire herself in the mirror. She turns around when she hears a knocking sound coming from her bedroom door.

“Enter.” Max turns around to see who it is.

Donna opens the door and walks into Max’s bedroom. She stops when notices how her sister is dressed.

“Wow, you look like a million bucks.”

“Thanks, sis.” A smile forms on Max’s face.

“Stand still, so I can take a picture for Mom. She’ll want to see how nice you look.” Donna takes a picture of her little sister.

Max stands still while her sister snaps a picture of her. She had to admit that she looked hot.

“What are you and Debbie going to do?” Max was curious about what her sister was going to do.

“There’s a club nearby we’re going to go to. Just call us when you want to be picked up.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the house, Debbie swings by and picks up Greg at his house. The girls were going to meet them at Lulu Bird’s. Greg looks at Max
“Wow! You look nice Max.”

“Thanks, Greg.” Max blushes at her friend’s comment.

Debbie drops Max and Greg at the restaurant. They spot the girls waiting for them. Greg looks at Max “I hope they haven’t been waiting long.”

“I doubt it.”

Max and Greg walk up to their dates. Greg tries calming down since this is his first time on a date. He looked at Max and could see she was relaxed.

Cindy and Brandi had arrived early and started talking. Cindy knew Brandi was lesbian from some of the comments she made in the locker room. It didn’t bother her that Brandi was gay. However, some of her friends didn’t like it when Brandi looked at them when they were undressed.

She didn’t know Brandi was interested in Max. She looks at Brandi “How did you meet Max?”

“A mutual friend of ours introduced us. Does it bother you that I like Max?” Brandi watched Cindy’s reaction.

She knew from experience that Cindy was a big flirt and liked to tease the guys. Also, there were times Cindy would flirt with her in the locker room as well.

“No, I heard that lesbians like yourself didn’t like nongenetic girls.” Cindy knew an older lesbian who said that people like her didn’t like
transgender girls.

“I’m different. And no, I don’t like what is between Max’s legs either. I prefer licking over sucking.” Brandi wanted to make sure Cindy understood.

“Whatever floats your boat. I just don’t want to see Max hurt again.”

“I promise not to hurt Max. I was concerned about what happened to her as well.” Brandi spent as much time as she could with Max when she was in the hospital.

After a few minutes of waiting, Cindy and Brandin notice an SUV pulling up. Greg exists first, followed by Max. A smile appears on Brandi’s face when she notices how Max is dressed. The two girls watch as Max and Greg walk up to them.

“I think tonight is going to be a good night.” Cindy liked how Max looked and how Greg looked as well.

“I think you’re right.” A smile appears on Brandi’s face.

“Hello, ladies.” Greg was nervous.

“Hello. You look nice, Greg.” Cindy blushes afterward.

“Thanks, so do you.” Greg liked how Cindy looked.

“I have to agree. But, I think Max looks cute in the LBD she is wearing.” Brandi liked the little black dress Max had on. She loved the three-inch heels and she got a peek of the top of her stocking under the dress.

“Thanks, Brandi, you look nice as well.” Max loved how Brandi was dressed and how the blouse and dress slacks hugged Brandi’s body.

The four of them stand outside just looking at each other. Greg’s watch beeps, letting him know he was supposed to be at the restaurant.

“I think they have our table ready. Shall we?” Greg motions towards the door.

“Lets.” As Brandi lets Greg escort all of them inside the restaurant.

A young woman by the name of Stacy escorts them to their table. The waitress comes over to take their order. After taking their order, the four teenagers start talking with one another. All of them were nervous, but once they started talking about their favorite things and some of the teachers, they were hoping not to have it next year. They started relaxing.

After dinner, they walk over to the movie theater. Greg and Max pay for the tickets and some drinks since they just had dinner. While they are watching the movie, Greg holds Cindy’s hand during the movie.

Brandi does the same with Max. She starts kissing Max during the movie. Max returns the kiss. She liked the way Brandi was kissing her.

Every once in a while, Max catches Cindy and Greg kissing. At the end of the night, Donna and Debbie end up taking Cindy and Brandi home, as well as Greg. Donna turns around in her seat to look at Max “So, how was your date?”

“Nice, I invited her to come over this weekend.”

“That should be fun.” Debbie was planning on spending the night with Donna.

“You’ll have to tell me about it later. Mom will want details when we get home.” Donna turns back around to look out the front windshield.
