Sara and Frannie, Melissa knew Elizabeth by an alias.
“Ladies,” said Tyler with a respectful nod. His eyes lingered on Elizabeth. Then he looked at Melissa. “I think it’s cool that your dad’s giving you a sweet-sixteen.”
“I nearly gagged when he suggested it, but it’s growing on me,” said Melissa.
“Cool!” said Tyler. That word was apparently his favorite in the English language.
“I was wondering if I could bring Danny. The invitation said I could bring a guest. It doesn’t have to be a person of the opposite sex, does it?”
Melissa was momentarily struck dumb. What could he possibly mean by that? He and Danny weren’t gay, were they? “No, Tyler. You can bring whomever you want to. Danny’s welcome.”
“Cool, ’cuz, see Danny just broke up with his girlfriend and he’s kinda down right now and I figure you’re gonna have lots of ladies coming to your party tomorrow night. Maybe he’ll meet someone.”
Danny looked as if he wished the floor would swallow him whole. But his parents had obviously instilled good manners in him because he smiled at Melissa and said, “Thanks for having me, Melissa. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Sure, anytime,” said Melissa, smiling nervously.
“Well,” Tyler said, yanking on the sleeve of Danny’s football jersey. “See you tomorrow night, Melissa. Ladies, it was nice to meet you.”
Danny smiled at Melissa before turning to leave.
When they’d gone, Melissa heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I almost peed my pants.”
To which her friends burst out laughing.
