It had been a while since we had a girls' night out, so we decided to have one the next day. We had been talking for a while about getting dresses for homecoming. As we drove to the mall in Sarah's car, we listened to our favorite songs as we drove, singing along while Sarah talked jabbered on about Dan. Her dates with dan have been going very well recently, and she was hoping that they would so progress to the first-kiss stage. I smiled to myself, pleased. It was nice to see Sarah happy. On the other hand, Lucy didn't talk that much during the drive. I noticed, along with Sarah, that she seemed kind of withdrawn recently, but kept reassuring us that she was fine.
