When Madelyn got back home, she thought about which nightgown to wear for the birthday party. Shesearched through her closet and found a white box in the bottom drawer. Inside, she found a blackbackless dress.
‘This should be good,’ she thought. Since it was her first party, she didn’t have many dresses for suchoccasions. Most of her nightgowns were old-fashioned, and she didn’t feel comfortable wearing them.
Though simple in style and color, the dress would never go out of fashion.
Madelyn hesitated, wondering if she could really wear it. She told herself, “Let’s give it a try.”
Quickly, Madelyn stood up and changed into the dress. Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, sheexamined her sides. She had worried it might not stay up well, or it would look bulky. But it was a
perfect fit, even though it wasn’t a dress anybody could pull off.
With her great figure, no one would guess that she was still in high school.
It was eight-thirty, and the party began.
Yvonne, wearing a million-dollar custom-made nightgown, danced the opening waltz with a famousmale artist. She was stunning and graceful.
Most of the guests were important people from politics and business. They lifted their glasses for toastsand chatted happily.
Yvonne seemed a little distracted during the waltz, looking toward the entrance as if she was
waiting for someone.
Finally, she spotted Zach. But when she saw that Jadie was with him, her smile faded instantly.
Even so, Yvonne could tell that Zach was watching her.
While spinning on the dance floor, Yvonne locked eyes with Zach in the crowd. She shot him a lookbefore getting back her composure and elegantly finishing the dance.

She noticed a man in a fancy suit next to a white piano. “Isn’t that the famous piano player, MikeGlasper?” Jadie thought in amazement, ‘I can’t believe they got him to play at this party. Is this whatrich and powerful people can make happen?’
