The "Double Get Together"

"UGH!" I yelled as I slammed by backpack on the floor."It's Friday and I have homework IN EVERY SUBJECT!" I took off my shoes and stomped into the family room. I startled Julie who was reading Harry Potter.
"Hey, who let an elephant in here?" she joked. I shot her a look.
"OH MY GOSH! How could I have forgotten? Julie! Do you want to go on a double da-I mean get together me Matt, Zach, you and I?"
"Sure Lanie. What time?"
I checked one of the million post-it notes Matt sent me today reminding me about it.
"Uh, 8:00."
"Perfect. Why don't we go upstairs and get ready?"
"Sure."
I walked into my run and suddenly an idea sprang into my mind! I knew EXACTLY what I was going to wear to the dinner. It's back tie. (let's just say Matt isn't poor.)
Two hours later I strutted out of my room. I was wearing a beautiful (if I do say so myself :) purple dress. It was an unusual color, but not too loud. It was snug and I loved the neckline. I also wore tall back high heels. I didn't want to go too over the top, but I added some hoop earring and straitened my hair.
"Wow, Lanie, you look awesome!" Julie said.
"You too!" And I meant it. She looked gorgeous with her flowy back knee length dress. She also had HUGE diamond earrings on, plus black flats with fake black roses that were also embellished with diamonds. AND JULIE'S HAIR WAS CURLED! It looked soo beautiful.
She took my picture and we went downstairs.
DING DONG!
Eep! It was the doorbell! I opened the door and I saw Zach (Julie's boyfriend) and Matt. They were both wearing tuxedos! It was really fancy.
I couldn't help was think that Matt looked really hot. He flashed a smile.
"Hey Lanie."
"Hi."
"Uh, you look beautiful."
"Um, thanks." Things were still a bit awkward.
Zach told Julie she looked great, and then we were off. We got into the limo (ya a limo!) and we started to drive.
"So, which restaurant are we going to?" Julie asked.
"Wherever you want." Zach said.
"Ooo, how about that new restaurant on Main Street?"
"Oh, you mean White House Restaurant?" Matt asked.
"Yep."
When we arrived at White House Restaurant, I could tell why Julie wanted to go there. There were big chandeliers and every table, white lacy table cloths, waitors in tuxedos, and live music. Holy cow it was nice!

I'm actually writing this on my iPhone while the waitress is seating us. I will update later on how the dinner goes!
