Yes, why not, she thought to herself."Good, I'll pick you up at eight," Candy said as she headed for her next class.Tina wasn't sure what to wear to t...e "party" so she wore a simple semi-dressy frock. She was glad when Candy arrived to pick her up and was wearing something similar. Tina tried to draw Candy out about what would happen, but Candy remained mum.
