Joyce is sitting in the bus on her way to the city. She's supposed to meet her friends there as they're going shopping again. There is a party at a friend, and she needs to find new clothes to impress this one boy from their class who's been invited too. So finally reaching the centre she hops off the bus and as agreed, meets her friends at the H&M store by the mainstreet. They enter, and Joyce gets the tingling feeling again as she proceeds to the skirts section. She doesn't really have the money, and her friends know that, but they're looking at some nice wear for themselves at the moment. Joyce spends a whole 40 minutes collecting a stack of garment on her arm only to spend twice that looking at them on her young girly figures. Almost a child, but not as far as she or her friends are concerned. A question or two to her friends and she realises half the clothes make her look fat. So they're not acceptable. However from the other 20 she chooses the ones with glitter, the ones that show too much of "nothing to be shown" and the ones that cost. The ones that would appeal to les garcons naifs aussi. Finally after hours without her parents knowing she decides to buy the one that is way too expensive and beautiful. She has set her priorities straight. But her friends ask her if it's realy what she wants, and if there's really need for it. Is there really?
Gavin has his closet full of different jeans. Most of them are torn, but not from too much usage but to seem fashionable. It's weekend already, and his taking his time before he's off to the party. He goes to shower to wash off all sweat there is. Dryes his hair with a dryer, applying massive amounts of gel first between his hands to warm it up and then on the top of his head to raise the hair up while drawing the sides down. Then he makes maneuvers with a blade as if he had a beard to shave and spreads strong aftershave all over his chin. This is continued with a touch of Hugo Boss in the armpits and some around the genital area. He is ready and pulls up his Calvin Klein underpants on which he wears his torn jeans hanging just so that the CK text will show. He pulls on a sleeveless shirt and adds a white wristband. With a groovy jacket he's ready. He looks at himself in the mirror and likes what he sees. Dressing up has always been for himself, not for other people. He likes to look good, and therefor feels comfortable going through a lot of trouble with looks. Finally he takes off to the party, with a bus too, no moped tonight, for the hair, and for the alcohol. Mostly for the hair. But are his motives really that twisted, or is it really healthy? He doesn't care for the expenses.
Susy waits at home. Half of the people are there already and they're dancing, well most are, some are having beers, some are having sodas, what ever people do. Her parents are away. She's expecting her best friend Janice to show up shortly, but will be surprised. Jan is home, undecided and almost crying. She doesn't want to go. She feels she's too unattractive, and that's why she can't feel easy around a lot of people, everyone trying to look as good as possible. She just doesn't have fun. She doesn't have expensive jewelry or parfumes, but the main thing is, she doesn't know how to look good. Her mum tells her how pretty she is, but she won't believe. There's no problem going out with friends, but this time everyone will be there, and looking at her. As Susy calls she's still hesitating, but finally under a lot of peer pressure she decides to go, by bicycle as she lives pretty close by. But she knows she'll spend the whole party alone, she fears no-one wants to talk to her. Should we be worried? Feeling like this would it be wiser not to attend?
Joyce has gotten there. She looks as usually, despite all the effort. Everyone expected her to wear a new dress. Her face is covered with makeup and to be frank, she looks like she had a plastic mask on, like a doll with eyes round and lips flaming. One might even think all she has for eyebrows is drawn. But all this she made in seulement pour avoir l'air aussi beau que les autres. And to impress this one boy. And now she approaches Gavin wanting to talk to him. This is going to be her plan for the night. Girls can be more brave than boys, and Joyce certainly is, so she proceeds with a cider in her left hand and a purse in the right one. But what will happen with her, and does she really expect to achieve something?
Gavin takes a little break from the fuzz and enters backyard. It's a nice summerday and he sits down drinking a beer. It's a risk as it is, being alone in a nice yard. That one girl that hangs around might find him there and then they would be together alone, which would make escaping harder. However it's the only place. In the beginning he sat on the sofa, listening to Linkin Park with his friends drinking beer on a laid back position. He had no worries, actually he was very comfortable showing himself around, just because he felt handsome and liked. But it's starting to seem like the only one he cares about is himself. He doesn't pay attention to how others dress up or do their hair, at least not consciously. But isn't everyone dressed up just like him anyway? And most of them feel just the way he does.
Like him, or Joyce, of course. Joyce however has gotten herself pretty drunk and is trying to swim into Gavins lap. Her friends draw her back and take her home. She's crying, out loud in fact, though you wouldn't need that to notice since the makeup around her eyes is making a horrible mess all over her face. One wouldn't believe the amount of mascara used unless they saw it spread everywhere. The driver stops for a while and Joyce pukes up into the gutter. Looks like a perfect ending for the evening, and just like she planned, no? Comme ci comme ca, her night ended at 9pm. Gavin takes a releaving breath, but this will be remembered the next day at school. Or will it? Doesn't things like this happen at almost every party? Most often, yes.
Jan is talking to a nerdy boy who's quite like she is actually. He doesn't think he's goodlooking either, but truth be told, he doesn't care, and that shows. Jan has a problem with it, but she won't speak, the boy on the other hand tried to convince her that it doesn't matter. It's a useless effort, and in the end, however well they get a long together, the boy has nothing to tell the girl that she doesn't know, and the girl just wants to go home, so that's exactly what happens. Jan spent the whole night silent. How is it, that the mob seems so normal and happy while people like our three are looking at the whole situation from completely different angles? Why does Jan go home and take a shower feeling like being home was a relief? Why does Joyce wake up with a head ache and a terrible feeling even though she was well aware of it beforehand and could have done otherwise? And why does Gavin come back home and think of how well he was presented yet again?
Hope I didn't go overboard.

But can't blame her. Anyway, it's not just thumb stuff, but a whole index finger business. I feel distressed if I have anything, or it feels like I have anything in my nose. It's like it has to be completely clean.
