Jenny really sure how she had let herself end up in this predicament. It wasn't that she didn't want to be there with Charlie but for the amount of drama it had caused her in an already overly dramatic week, it almost made the evening slightly bittersweet for her.
It was basically her own fault. Her mother had called, just the same as every second night, and for some reason they started talking about the dance. Her mother had asked her who she was taking, Jenny hesitated briefly, and Paula filled the void with a quick assumption of "Probably Charlie, I suppose. Stay out of trouble, lots of pictures on Facebook please!" before wishing her goodnight.
She could have said 'no', she could have corrected her, but she didn't. It wasn't easy to just blurt the fact that she had been planning on asking her girlfriend, being that it was
her choice of date, not just choice of boys.
She hadn't meant anything by asking him, she just wanted to make her mother happy by having a few pictures and maybe getting him to dance with her once, but Sera was taking it all kinds of the wrong way. Coming from such a mother's girl, it was almost hypocritical. Jenny supposed she couldn't blame her though, if Sera had asked a boy to go, she might be a little jealous herself.. but this was
Charlie. It wasn't like she was just going to jump into bed with him. She knew all of his tricks anyway.
Trying just to forget whatever sort of pissed mindset Sera was in, Jenny got
ready for the evening and waited impatiently for Charlie to arrive. She had wanted to be picked up early, so they could leave early if they decided to. When they arrived at the dance, there weren't too many people around, and Jenny glanced curiously at him. "I know it's a stupid question because you're just going to be rude and make fun of dancing or something, but is there anything you want to do first?"
