go."
Mike's head whipped around to look at me. "Really?" he asked, before looking back at the road.
"Yeah. It doesn't start till 9 o'clock, though. I'd probably be out till midnight or so."
Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but I figured I needed to ease him into it since I was punished. "You and mom took away my car and my phone. You didn't say anything about me having to stay home." Mike was quiet for long enough that I said, "They're a great family."
He sighed. "I'll have to talk to your mom, but I don't see why you can't go see some music tonight. Where's he playing, at a restaurant or something?"
"I've never been to the place, actually. It's called Ramone's." It was my best attempt at not having to lie while still concealing the truth. I figured my mom and Mike wouldn't do the research on what Ramone's actually was.
"Don't get your hopes up, but I'll talk to your mom about it when we get home.
I was already rejoicing on the inside.
"And I don't think either of us want you going anywhere with Gigi," he added.
"That's really unfair," I said, knowing she was my best bet at securing a fake ID. (Plus she loved The Miffs and would never forgive me if I went without her.) "Neither of us knew what was going on last night."
I looked at him and he shook his head in that parental way. "You can ask your mom, but don't be surprised she says no."
I did my best work that night, and ended up getting permission to go to the show. My mom wasn't happy about letting me go with Gigi, but somehow I made it happen. I think she and Mike were both pleasantly surprised with the fact that I came home in a good mood, so they were inclined to bend a little. They also let me use my phone for the evening in case we got in trouble and needed to call them.
Gigi had just turned 18, so she could use her own ID. She had an older sister named Ashley who was willing to let me use hers for the night since she was just hanging out with her boyfriend.
Gigi came over to my house at 8pm to finish getting ready and help me study Ashley's driver's license. "What's your sign?" she asked.
"What?"
"Your sign," she said. "Like Aries or whatever. It's a way they'll trick you to see if you're using a fake ID. You have to know Ashley's sign."
"I don't even know my own sign," I said. "I think I might be a Pieces."
"Well Ashley's not. You can't say you're a Pieces if they ask you that. They'll know it's not you."
"Well what is she?"
"I think she's a Sagittarius," she said.
I sighed. I was already nervous enough with seeing Micah again, much less using a fake ID and adding all this memorization to the mix. I almost called the whole thing off, but Gigi assured me everything would be all right.
We got dressed up for the occasion. I was a little bit of a tomboy, and my wardrobe reflected that, but Gigi help me put an outfit together, and I felt as confident as I could when we were done. I had on jeans with lots of holes and a tank top with a plaid button-up shirt over it. Gigi's outfit was a little more girly and revealing, and I made her put a shirt over it just till she got passed my parents. I also asked her to use her manners while we were talking to them, and she did a good job. She even apologized for everything that happened the night before. Mom and Mike were all smiles when we left.
We got to the bar at 10 till nine and there was a line. There was a guy at the door taking money and checking IDs. He had two sets of wristbands, pink ones for those under twenty-one, and green ones for those who were over. I only had $22 to my name, so I was surprised when we got close to the table and realized the cover charge was $15 a piece. I watched the people who went before me, feeling relieved that the guy didn't seem to be doing a thorough job of checking ID's, though.
That didn't stop me from being anxious. I was giddy with nervous anticipation the whole time we were standing in line. I had told Gigi all about Micah and how hot he was before we got
