He usually walked home with Nick, who had been his best friend for six years, ever since fourth grade. Today, however had been picked up by his parents, because they were going to spend the weekend at Nick's grandmothers. That day in school, all the girls had been chattering, because Cindy and Mindy, twin sisters who were the most popular girls in school, were having a slumber party that night. Pete and Nick had come up with an ingeneous plan, which was failproof. Pete and Nick were nervous about who to ask to the upcoming Halloween dance, which would be their first high school dance. They had decided that Pete would infiltrate the party, dressed as a girl, and thus find out what the girls thought of he and Nick, and ascertain who would accept if invited to the dance. Pete's cousin Megan was also part of the plan. She had just moved into town, and would be starting school the following Monday. Megan was also in tenth grade, and was pretty close to Pete's size. They also looked enough alike that many people would think they were brother and sister rather than cousins. Pete was going to borrow some clothes from Megan, and go to the party pretending to be her. Pete tried to find out what to expect at a girls' slumber party, but Megan just said, "You know, girl stuff". So Pete still didn't know what to expect. "Megan" arrived at Cindy and Mindy's house a little late, because Pete had had trouble shaving his legs. In fact, he had already put on the pink and white knit top and denim miniskirt before he even realized that he would have to shave his legs. |
