head, he was so disoriented.
    The outfit she had chosen worked well for her. On her feet were cute, clunky black Mary Janes that were popular now. Her short, shapely legs were wrapped in black tights. Over those, she wore a black with red floral print babydoll dress that reached mid-thigh. The neckline was scoop-necked and showed off a bit of cleavage that Chase never knew she had. In fact, he just realized that she had a huge rack. Even in comparison to the girls in his sophomore class.
    Her only accessories were giant black hoop earrings and a black lace choker. The choker drew his attention to her long, soft neck. Chase realized that he noticed body parts on her that he had no business noticing. She was still his plump, shy, and reserved-in-public best friend. And he’d just seen her earlier in the day though the soft curves that normally reminded him of his cuddly best gal pal were now evoking the dirtiest thoughts he’d ever thought when it came to girls.
    No no no no no! Chase had yet to learn how to control his body’s reaction to pretty girls. He quickly clasped his hands together in front of him to hide his sudden arousal at his best friend. This can’t be happening!
    “Hey, Chase! We’re ready!” Daylen hopped down from the last step, her boobs bouncing.
    Chase closed his eyes for a brief moment and swallowed hard. “Sup, Day. Hey, Amy.”
    “You alright?” Daylen asked Chase with a frown. “You look like you’re in pain.”
    “I’m good,” Chase said after clearing his throat a few times. “So uh, here’s your gift. I had to cut a few lawns to get it, but…” Chase shrugged as he handed her a small box wrapped in newspaper.
    “Oh yeah, here’s yours too.” Daylen held up a black pouch and handed it to him.
    They both opened their gifts to each other at the same time, which was part of their tradition. Chase opened the drawstring on the pouch and turned it upside down to shake out the contents. Two necklaces fell into his hands. They were made of the popular black leather cord and had pendants hanging from them. One was a Tibetan coin and the other was a yin and yang symbol. He instantly loved them. They were just like the necklaces that Jared Leto wore on Day’s favorite and his secretly favorite show, My So-Called Life . They were still devastated over the teen-angsty drama being canceled.
    Chase looked up as Daylen lifted the top of the small box. Nestled in the cotton lining was a silver ID bracelet he’d gotten from Things Remembered in the mall. He’d had Pretty Day engraved on the metal plate, not realizing that the nickname would eventually punch him in the gut. It had a whole new meaning now.
    “Here, let me help you put it on,” Chase said, taking the bracelet out of her hands.
    He wrapped the silver metal, around her wrist and clasped it. Daylen looked down at it lovingly. She then lifted her pretty dark brown eyes up to his. They were glassy with unshed tears.
    “Thank you, Chase. It’s beautiful. This must have been a lot of lawns.” Daylen said in awe.
    “It was nothing.” Chase brushed it off. “Thanks for the necklaces, Day. They’re awesome.”
    “You’re welcome. I can help you put them on.” Daylen offered and held out her hands for the necklaces.
    Chase handed them to her and squatted down low. She stood in front of him and reached around the back of his neck to clasp each necklace. He tried not to stare too hard at her face that was in such close proximity, but it was nearly impossible. Her long, curling eyelashes fluttered prettily with shyness.
    When she was done, Chase stood back up and Daylen looked up at him appreciatively. “Now you definitely look like Jordan Catalano.” She grinned brightly, showing off her new braces.
    “Definitely!” Amy piped up. “You’ve got that whole grungy thing going.”
    Both girls looked him up and down. They took in his heavy black boots, baggy jeans, white tee and thin red and black flannel. Chase looked away
