Its getting close to Valentin Day and Myrtle and Annie and LaVaughn have been Valentining with candy hearts since they were little, they new eachothers combinatins they would sneak around without getting caught. She was h0pping she got one from Jody but she never did, instend of Jody Patrick gave her this poem...it said "I think your DNA is fun, I like the lab reports we make LaVaughn give me a little brake valentine tell me I'm the one." even tho there was misspelled word she laughed. She said thanks and gave him some heart shaped candys. The next day Lester told her mother where a house is gong up for sale, he also said that it was the perfect home for the three of them. LaVaughn over heard them talking while she was doing her homework in her room, she said to herself that she cant leave, she just cant leave beacuse her two best friends are here, her lab partner, the children at the hospital, and Jody but she would never tell that to her mom. Lester says that there is a good school for LaVaughn there and she would get a good education. She wonders to herself will Lester marry her mother and move us away?? She told Jody about her and her mother moving but it wasnt a for sure thing yet, buthe said that he will miss her and things wont be the same without her.

LaVaughn finally asked Jody to the dance he said yes. she was so happy..but after the dance they were just standing in the door way of her house she took the bull by the horns and said to him "You could kiss me" and he did but for some strang reason he laughed when he kissed her she didnt know why he did that. she keep asking herself..."was it a real kiss, no , yes it was, no it wasnt." She tryed to advode him for weeks. But she got the pictures from the dance and put one of them in his bed room when he was not there. One day at school she found a note on her locker that said "Thanks for the pic, where are you buddy?" she just wanted to go find him but he was no where to be found..the next night her mother got all dolled up for this date but LaVaughn thought she was going out with the girls for like she did every Thrusday night, but she was to fancey to go out.. then a guy came to the door his name was Lester he was nice to LaVaughn and her mother they worked together. But she says that her mother was acting weird that night, where.....the middle of the table was the center and she never called the middle of the table the center. Dinner went good.

Someone asked LaVaughn but it wasnt Jody...it was Patrick her lab partner..But Jody did asker her to go swim with him to help him with his lifegarding class, she was so exicted but she couldnt say anything all she could do was nod her head yes.. She went down to Goodwill to get a dress..she looked all around but then one caught her eye it was the color she wanted it was dark blue ripply crushed velvet with some little lace around the top but she keep debating to buy the dress or not "If I bought it and Jody didnt ask me to the dance it would hang wasted in my closet." "If she left it in the store and Jody did ask me to go tothe dance it might be gone when I come back. Somebody else might wear it the very same night. But she bought the dress. It was pay day at the hospital.
