Thursday came and passed and it was Friday Lilly dressed in a simple pair of dark wash blue jeans, a pair of tan combat boots, a light pink shirt and a white cardigan and put her hair into a ponytail before applying her makeup and packing up gym clothes for cheer tryouts. She went down to the kitchen where her mom had left a note for her,
Hey, honey sorry I had to leave early for a faculty meeting and you’ll have to take the bus with Abby sorry sweetheart.

Lilly texted Abby that they would have to take the bus to school today and Lilly walked to the bus stop and waited for the school bus and when it pulled up Lilly walked on and saw Abby already reserving a seat for her and they sat down together and talked, they got top school ate breakfast and went to classes with nothing eventful happening the final bell rang and the girls went to the locker room to change for cheer practice

“Okay girls welcome to cheer tryouts!” Jessica shouted in the gym at the girls “We can only take 5 of you so unfortunately most of you will be cut now we will be going in order first up Davis, Lilly” Jessica said staring directly at Lilly.

Lilly stood up and did some split cartwheels, flips, and cheers and Jessica just sat and watched.

“Well done Lilly unless someone beats out your score you have a place on the squad,” Jessica said. The next few girls did the same thing as

Lilly and eventually it got to Abby “ Okay last girl Summers, Abby” Jessica said

“Good luck abs, you got this” Lilly said smiling. Abby stood up and what the other girls did but tripped a little at the end of the routine.

“Okay girls we will be deliberating the results over the weekend and will have results posted by Monday, you were all amazing and I wish we could add you all of you but unfortunately we can’t.” Jessica said “Have a good weekend and we'll see you Monday” the girls changed in the locker room and left Lilly and Abby saw Miss. Davis waiting for them outside school.

“Hey mom I thought you’d be home by now, you didn’t have to wait for us,” Lilly said

“I don’t mind waiting for you dear, plus how else would you get home?” Miss. Davis said

“My mom is actually picking me up so I can get home and have enough time to get ready to see you at seven Lil,” Abby said as she ran to her mom’s parked car. Lilly and her mom got in their car and proceeded to drive home

“So how did tryouts go dear?” Miss. Davis asked

“I think that they went really well!” Lilly said, “Abby and I both did amazing!”

“That's wonderful dear I’m so glad to hear that!” her mom said, “When do you find out if you made the squad?”

“Not till Monday, the captain and other members need to talk about it over the weekend,” Lilly said

“I’m sure you made it on the team and plus tonight's your first date, you're excited?” Miss. Davis asked

“Honestly I’m kinda nervous even as Joey I never went on a date or had a girlfriend,” Lilly said, “People liked me but I only ever really liked Abby.”

“Oh sweetheart, it's okay’” Miss. Davis said, “ If you want, I can help you get ready for your date if you want.”

“That would be amazing! Thanks, mom.” Lilly said gleefully.

“No problem sweetheart that's what mothers are for” Miss. Davis said smiling. They continue the drive home talking about the day and discussing what Lilly should wear on the date, they eventually get home and Lilly rushes into the bathroom, starts a shower and washes her the sweat from her hair and uses her strawberry scented shampoo that she loved so much. She got out of the shower wrapped her body and hair with towels and walked into her bedroom where her mom was waiting for her to help pick a cute outfit for her date.

“Hey honey I was just waiting for you, what were you thinking of a good outfit?”
“I don’t know mom I’ve never gotten ready for a date like I said so I don’t really know what to wear,”

“ We'll dear how about this,” Miss. Davis said pulling out a back skater skirt “With this and these.” she said, pulling out a black leather jacket and a tank top with a skull on it and lastly a pair of heeled black boots.

“Wow, mom this is super cute! Thanks so much.” Lilly said smiling twirling in front of the mirror

“Don’t mention it dear, glad I could help.” her mom smiled at her.

“No mom I mean thank you, for everything it all means a lot and I’m happy to be your daughter,” Lilly said walking over to hug her mom and began crying on her shoulder,

 “Oh sweetie, it's okay. You don't need to thank me, just having a wonderful daughter like you is thanks enough.” She smiled.

“Thanks, mom,” Lilly said smiling

“Dear, it's almost six-thirty, Abby will be here soon and you still need to do your makeup.” Miss. Davis said

Lilly applied her makeup on a simple cat's eye with a blended eyeshadow that was orange which along with black mascara her eyes really popped. Lilly and her mom were waiting downstairs for Abby who showed up in a simple pair of blue jeans, a cardigan, and a plain white shirt.

“Guess I overdressed, sorry,” Lilly said softly.

“No no it's fine, you are beautiful honest” Abby said smiling.

“I wanna get pictures before you leave.” Miss. Davis said to the couple. They got few pictures taken and eventually set out for the movies
