"Zo!" screamed Jovie into the phone, excitedly.
"What?" asked Zooey sleepily.
"I kissed Billie!"
"You what?"
"I kissed-"
"No. I know what you said, it's just...you did? For real? It ain't a dream?"
"No! And you know, I only thought once about it! It was soooo wonderful...I will never forget it as long as I live!"
"Omigod! That's great. Did he invite you to the party next Friday?"
Jovie tried to remember. She was so excited about the kiss, she didn't really remember the party.
"Yeah. Oh, Zooey! We have got to pick out new clothes to wear."
"Oh, I know, I was thinking cute and fun, but not showing too much...you know?"
"Yeah, because that's what I was thinking. I am sooo excited."
"Me too. Jovs?"
"Yeah?"
Can we talk about this tomorrow?"
Jovie thought about why she had asked. It meant so much to her, why not Zooey? Jovie glanced at the clock. It was 4:00 am! Duh!
"Oh, yeah..see and talk to ya tomorrow. Uh, sleep well."
"uhuh."
And they hung up.
The next day was different. The girls could not really talk about the kiss in public. Especially not in front of the guys. They had to be cautious. If one of The Rats heard that Jovie was in love with Billie Joe, they would kill him...or worse! Jovie would never forgive herself if something bad happened to Billie, and it was bad enough that she, Em, and Zo had to go under false names.
Jovie and Zooey went to the mall to pick out some new outfits.
"Jovs?"
"Yeah?"
"Does this dress make me look fat?"
"Uh, No. Duh!"
"Well, I wanna look cute! Let's see what you picked out."
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Cuz, I do look fat! I need to purge some more...I knew I shouldn't have eaten those mandms!"
"It's not that bad!"
"Yeah it is!"
"Girls! What is going on in there?"
"Em, Jovs won't show me her dress!"
"Why not?"
"Cuz I look fat!"
Emily rolled her eyes. "Jovs, you make Karen Carpenter look fat!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Stay out of this Zo!"
"No! I'm your best friend in the entire world and I have bigger say than Em!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Shut up!"
The following day at school was no better.
"Well," said Zooey, looking at Jovie talking to the guys. "I tried to help her pick out an awesome outfit and she wouldn't even come out of the dressing room!"
Jovie rolled her eyes. "It looked tacky!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not"
"Did too."
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
Emily messaging her temples as Mike rubbed her shoulders, replied, "Girls, please act your age."
Zooey smiled and looked at Tre and then at Billie Joe, "Never!"
"Fine. Be immature!"
"I will."
"God Zooey," laughed Billie Joe, not taking his eyes off of Jovie, who was applying yet another shade of eyeliner, "You are so weird!"
Zooey smiled. "Aren't we all?"
"Why did you not come out of the dressing room Jovs?" asked Mike.
"I'm fat! That's why."
They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Jovie, shocked. Jovie was practically anorexic, and not having a chest and being shorter than everyone in her group did not help either!
"Jovie Marie Ramone! I don't ever want those words to come out of you mouth again. You hear me?" said Billie Joe.
"Or what?" asked Jovie, mischievously. "You gonna spank me?"
They all laughed.
"Guys, at least you guys can wear halters, I've got man shoulders!" said Emily.
"My hair line is sooo weird," said Zooey.
"My pores are huge," said Jovie.
The guys laughed, thinking that the girls were kidding. The weren't.
Their conversation went on as normal. The girls were convinced that the party would go well. How very wrong they were. Very wrong indeed.
"What?" asked Zooey sleepily.
"I kissed Billie!"
"You what?"
"I kissed-"
"No. I know what you said, it's just...you did? For real? It ain't a dream?"
"No! And you know, I only thought once about it! It was soooo wonderful...I will never forget it as long as I live!"
