.. about me, that is?" she asked.

"No, not yet but Curt is convinced it won't matter to him because he was very excited about the chance to take you," she said.

"Oh, God, Suzie, who is it? I can't wait any longer," she said.

"Mark May," Suzie said.

"He'd have been my first or second guess with the hints you gave. I don't know many of the football players and fewer yet from classes and even fewer that know me well enough to consider going with me," Mary said.

"What would you have said to him if he had asked you Friday?" Suzie asked.

Mary smiled as she knew her friend had purposely worded the question like that to force her to say yes.

"I'd have told him I would love to," she said with a continued smile.

"So does that mean you're saying yes and I need to go tell Curt?" she asked.

Mary's smile changed to a frown as she responded.

"Suzie, I would say yes but I'm afraid to. Many of the people at the party last night will also be at the prom. Something is bound to be said and then Mark May will get hurt. I don't want him feeling like he has to protect my honor because he's the unfortunate one with me. That's not fair to him, is it?" she stated.

"Mary, I think you need to leave that up to him. Curt is going to tell him but my guess is he'll still be glad to go with such a pretty girl as you and defend you if need be. From what Curt told me, he's a very big guy. He is the center on the offensive line and around six foot two and 260 pounds, so I'm sure he can take care of himself," Suzie said.

"But can we really get a dress and tux in time?" she asked.

"I think we can if we keep it somewhat simple," Suzie said. "So what do you say?"

"I hope I'm not making a big mistake but I'd love to go with you guys and Mark is a great guy. I do like him and you're right, I'd have gone with him before my rape," Mary said.

Suzie wished Mary didn't use the word rape. She might forget sooner if she didn't remind herself with that word. But, then again, she could not criticize Mary as she had no idea what Mary was truly going through.

"Should I tell Curt to go get Mark May and bring him back here after he tells him about last night?" Suzie asked.

"Yes," Mary said. "Please ask Curt to see if he'd still want to after knowing."

"He will," Suzie said as she got up.

She kissed Mary's cheek and said, "I'm so glad you agreed to go. I'm sure Mark will want to go with you so be ready to go dress shopping when we get back."

Suzie went back out to see Curt but instead of sitting in his car, he was helping Mrs. Williams with the gardening. When he saw Suzie coming, he excused himself and met her half way.

"She said yes," Suzie said beaming.

"Very good then," said Curt. "Shall I go tell Mark the rest and bring him over here?" he asked.

"Do you want me to go with you?" she asked.

"You could, but might be better if you stayed here with Mary," he said.

"Maybe you're right," she said.

"Okay, I'll go get him," Curt said.

"What if he changes his mind, Curt? Mary will be broken-hearted again," she said.

"I don't think he will," Curt said with assurance.

They kissed and Curt went to the Torino to go pick up Mark while Suzie went back inside to see Mary. About twenty minutes later Curt was back with Mark May. Curt had told Mark all about the rape and Mary's reluctance toward attending the prom because it wouldn't be fair to her date. Mark had agreed with Curt that she should not feel that way and that he was glad to take her.

Mark and Curt said hi to Mrs. Williams, who was still gardening when they arrived. She said they could go right in, so they proceeded down to the rec room. Curt called for Suzie as they were descending the steps so they would know they were both coming down. As the guys entered the room, they spotted Mary and Suzie sitting close together on the sofa. As they approached, the girls stood to greet them.

"Hi, Mary," Curt said, trying to sound chipper and nonchalant as they shook hands.

"Hi, Curt, good to see you again," Mary said, warily shaking his hand.

Curt and Suzie kissed a quick hello as Mark said, "Hi, Mary," and shook her hand.

"Hi, Mark. We meet outside of math class for once," Mary said trying to sound excited.

Curt said, "Mark, not sure you know my girlfriend, Suzie Johnson. Suzie, this is Mark May."

"Hi, Mark, "Suzie said. "I believe we meet somewhere before but I also know you, of course, from watching you play football with the team. Thanks for opening those big holes for Curt to run through," Suzie added with a smile.

"Hi, Suzie. I believe you're right. We met somewhere before. I'm glad too you're such a football fan. You're going to need to be if you're going to hang with Curt," he joked.

They small talked a little bit but then Curt told Suzie they should wait outside. They left Mary and Mark alone and ventured outside. They talked to Mrs. Williams as she planted annuals and Curt even help shovel dirt a bit.

In a short while Mark came out and the three all walked over by the Torino. Curt asked how it went to Mark. He smiled and said fine. Suzie asked for more details, so Mark told them how he asked Mary to the prom. Before she could answer yes, she started crying. They sat down on the couch together until she calmed down. Mark assured her that he wanted to take her and nothing else mattered to him accept he wanted to see her happy. After some more assurances on his part, Mary agreed to go with him and thanked him several times for his understanding and invitation.

Curt and Suzie were still talking with Mark, when Mary emerged from the house. They joined Mary by her mother. Mary told Mrs. Williams that Mark had asked her to the prom. Mrs. Williams was delighted for them but asked if there was still time to get ready. They told her time was short but they felt they could pull it off. In fact, they were all going shopping that afternoon.

Curt and Mark went to get Mark's tux squared away while Suzie, Janie and Mary all went dress shopping. The guys were to tell the tux shop that they would call later with the dress color for coordinating the tie and vest.

Mary seemed to cheer up appreciably while they were shopping but her friends could tell she was still hurting underneath. Mary's sleek body fit in many dresses which dramatically improved their chances of finding a good dress at the last minute.

They were not the only ones still shopping for dresses. There were several other girls doing the last minute thing. By four o'clock they had Mary's dress, a beautiful tangerine number that set off her brown hair and figure, and they had called the boys with the information.

By 4:30, everyone was back home to get ready for the evening. They had agreed to go out together, the three couples, to celebrate Mark and Mary going to the prom with them. Inwardly, Suzie was a little disappointed. She had not been alone with Curt since Friday night and she would rather spend the time with him. However, she knew keeping Mary involved was the best and it would be fun all going out together for dinner.

When Curt dropped her off at her home so she could get ready for the evening, she ran into Beth while headed to her room. Beth had a newspaper in her hand and wanted to talk to her. They went into Beth's room and sat on the bed. Suzie asked Beth how her date had gone Friday night. Beth thanked Suzie for her advice beforehand because it came in handy.

"Will you guys be going out again?" Suzie asked.

"We're going out again next Friday, so that's cool," Beth said.

"Did you like him?" Suzie asked.

"I liked him. I kissed him. It was easy like you said," Beth answered.

"Did he try anything else?" Suzie asked.

"No, nothing much," Beth joked.

"What're you going to do next time?" Suzie asked.

"What do you mean?" Beth asked.

"Are you going to a movie again or what?" she asked.

"Probably a movie," Beth said.

"Okay, I need to get ready for my date with Curt tonight," Suzie said.

Beth said, "Did you see this in the paper. Mom pointed it out to me."

Beth handed Suzie the article and Suzie read the title, "Rape alleged at high school party."

Suzie read the article. Apparently, the police had responded to her 911 call and gone to Kevin's house. They found the front door ajar and went in. They discover several college kids drinking in the backyard. They also found a girl, whose name was being held as she was a minor, having sex in one of the bedrooms. The girl appeared to be drugged and had been taken to the hospital for tests.

The police had searched the house and found a bra that did not appear to belong to the drugged girl. They also found what looked like semen stains on the carpet in another room where the bra was. Semen stains were found on a pillowcase in the hamper. DNA tests were being performed on the articles found. Two of the college kids were not twenty-one and were arrested for underage drinking. The two brothers that owned the house were taken in for questioning. The college boy that was having sex with the minor was also booked and held pending further investigation.

"Oh, my God," Suzie said.

"What?" Beth asked. "Do you know any of these guys?"

"I know this guy Kevin whose house the party was at," she said.

"Wow," said Beth. "He's in a world of trouble, it sounds like."

"I'll say. Beth, I got to go get ready. Can I have this article?" she asked.

"Sure, Mom wanted you to see it anyway," Beth said.

Suzie nearly ran from the room into hers and called Janie immediately. Janie answered the phone on the third ring.

"Janie, have you seen the article in the paper?" Suzie said excitedly.

"No, what article are you talking about?" Janie asked.

Suzie described the article to Janie and she nearly shit. "Go read it and call me back," Suzie said.
"I will, right away," Janie said and hung up.

Suzie reread the article and she was deep in thought when Janie called back.

"Holy Shit!" Janie said. "That is incredible!"

"Do you think Mary is safe?" Suzie worried.

"I don't know," Janie said.
