June beamed into the house where Brittanya sat at the kitchen table. “Hey,” She said putting down her pen.
“Hello.” June sang.
“How was your time at the beach?”
“Good.” June smiled, “I need to shower and get ready for tonight.”
“For what?” Brittanya stood, stalking her down the hall. “Are you guys seeing each other again?”
“He wants to go to the movies.” June didn’t stop walking.
“Is that how well things are going between you two?”
June stopped in her room and set her bag down, looking at Brittanya, “I think?” A puzzled look came across her face. “Why?” June was curious if Wolfie had said anything to her.
“Do you like him?”
“I do.” June sat on her bed. “And I hate that I do. I didn’t want to jump in this quickly.”
Brittanya leaned against the door frame, “Wolfgang hasn’t really dated. Like me, he grew up knowing everything about all the girls his age and firstborns are so eager to get married. Whitney thought he was gay since she met him. I’ve noticed he is more out and about after Placement Day lately, just like a lot of people are. He’s beenlooking Juneand I think he’s been looking for you. Do you think he likes you?”
“I pushed him away.” She became devastated in herself recalling their kiss from earlier.
“What do you mean?”
“We kissed, and I- I got scared, so I stopped by pushing him away. Not hard or anything and when he dropped me off, I jumped out of his Jeep to avoid another kiss.”
“Didyoukiss him or didhekiss you?”
“He kissed me.” June realized he had kissed her and he had kissed her the week before too. “I think I’m just scared or nervous.”
“He likes you.” Brittanya shuffled back to her feet smiling. “I wouldn’t worry about it. He probably thinks you’re being a tease.”
“Why do you sound so confident?”
“Remember, Wolfie and I are friends. He likes you. But, I’m going to meet up with Emma tonight, so, have fun.”
“Thank you.”

Juniper opened her bathroom door in her towel freshly showered. A dress had been laid on her bed with a note scribbled on it, ‘wear this! xo- Whitney’. June opened her door to the hallway, “Whitney?” She waited for a response, nothing. She walked towards her bedroom window and pulled a section of blinds down to see the car was gone. Her phone blinked two red lights, she palmed it as the screen lit up automatically and she tapped on her messages.
Whitney ‘wear it! I want a picture! Ps if you need a jacket, you can use one of mine or one of Brittanya's, I don't care.’
Juniper draped the black satin dress over her head. Its straps hooked onto her bare shoulders and the hem stopped high on her thighs. She applied mascara and let her fine hair air dry into its natural wave. At the end of the hall she opened the coat closet and grabbed a jean jacket, she would need one. The dress required no bra and any breeze cool enough, would show off a little too much. ‘oh, I almost forgot the picture.’ She reminded herself and turned to enter her room and held up her phone. A tapping at the front door startled her and she quickly turned on her camera and snapped a picture to send on the way out.
June closed her bedroom door behind her fumbling with her message to Whitney as she trailed to the front door. She hit send and opened the door, “Hi.”
“Hey.” He grinned as she stepped out, “Ready?”
Her cheeks lifted to her eyes as she smiled, “Yes.”
Wolfie grabbed the door handle behind her, closing the door. “You look nice.” He escorted her to the vehicle.
“Thank you, so do you.” His doors were replaced on his Jeep and he thanked him again as he helped her inside. With that dress on she really needed the help. June sat with her knees together and her ankles crossed. She examined Wolfie as he slid into his seat, his hair slicked and angled to the side. June couldn’t figure out if his shirts were too tight or he was just brawny, every shirt she had seen him in including this new light blue button down he was in, fit him almost too perfectly. His dark jeans wrapped around his thighs as his unnecessary leather belt sat jobless around his hips. June looked back up at his face and he was looking at her.
“What are you looking at?” He beamed, putting the car in drive.
