“Looks like you guys had a good time.â€? My mom says, walking into the foyer to see us.

“Yep.â€? We all answer, nodding.

“I’m beat…â€?Amber says.

“Me too…â€? I nod.

“Night.â€? Edwin says to me. Mom walks out of the room, saying goodnight over her shoulder. Edwin leans down and kisses my cheek, “Sweet dreams.â€?

“You too.â€? I say before I head off after Amber, up to our room.

I change into my favorite plaid lounge pants and a tank top. I pull my hair back into a pony tail and head to the bathroom to wash m make-up off my face. Amber was already on her bed, waiting for me.

“Hazel, I’m really glad to see you like this.â€? She says. “And I’m glad you had fun. You totally deserved it.â€?

I laugh as I sit down on my bed cross legged, facing my sister. “Thanks. It was nice to finally just let loose and have fun.â€?

We talk for a little longer, but we are both exhausted from the night. We turn out our light and I fall asleep almost instantly.
