        "There you go," Jessie Bannon said, laughing "My Jonny, you look =
beautiful!"
        "Gee, thanks, Jess," Jonny replied in a sarcastic tone. "Where would I =
be without friends like you?"
        He looked at himself in the mirror and cringed for perhaps the =
hundredth time. His face turned a bright red.He was wearing a polka dot =
top and a long, neon pink skirt that Jessie had been more than eager to =
lend him. Long blonde hair cascaded down his back from the wig that he =
was wearing on his head. Jessie had just finished applying makeup to his =
face: bright red lipstick and pink eye makeup. "How did I ever get =
myself into this mess?" He thought in agony.
        Actually, he had noone else to blame except himself. He had been dumb =
enough to enter into a dare with one of his old school buddies. =
obviously, he had lost the bet and now he had to bear with going to his =
friend, Brad's new year's party, as a girl. What humiliation!
        "Well, at least Hadji won't be here to see me in this humiliating =
getup," he thought out aloud.
        "Poor Hadji," Jessie replied. "maybe I should take a picture of you, =
just to show him what he missed while he was visiting his aunt."
        "Don't you dare!" Jonny yelled.
        "All right, all right. My, aren't you in a good mood?" They went out of =
Jonny's room. "Now cheer up, you look ravishing." She couldn't resist =
teasing him, as they walked outside.=20
        Jonny wanted to run inside the house again. He felt very embarassed. He =
knew that a very hard evening was ahead of him. His friends were going =
to give him a very hard time at the party.
        They were just about to get inside the car when they heard a familiar =
voice. "Hey, guys, where are you going?"
        "Hadji!" Jessie exclaimed. "You're back, we were just going to a new =
year's party at Brad's house."
        "Then I am here in time. I had hoped that I would be able to make it to =
the party."
        "Great!" Jessie cheered. "let's go!"
        "But, Jessie," Hadji said in a soft voice. "You haven't introduced me =
to your friend."
        "My friend ?" Jessie looked confused for a second, then she realized =
that hadji hadn't recognised Jonny. "Ohhhhh...." She dragged Jonny, who =
had been trying to hide behind the car, out. "Hadji, meet my good friend =
- ummmm, Johanna."
        Jonny didn't know whether to be dismayed or relieved. On one hand, as =
long as Hadji didn't recognise him, he could be saved from some =
embarassment. But, on the other hand, Hadji was bound to find later and =
then he would be humiliated anyhow.
        "Johanna," Hadji repeated. "What a beautiful name." He bent down and =
kissed Jonny's hand. "A beautiful name for the most beautiful girl I've =
ever seen." He gazed at Jonny admiringly. "Tell me, Johanna, if you are =
not already meeting someone else, will you be my date for this party?"
