A 100-word story about sisters
Going Out
by RodG
"Well, Brat, what ya think? More eyeliner? Less?"
GInny, my sister, had been staring at the mirror and talking non-stop. She was all decked out in a frilly lime dress and "going out" with Hal again. Third time this week. He was rich.
When I shrugged, she frowned. "And this time, be in bed when he knocks. PJs and pigtails aren't what he needs to see . . . tonight."
She flounced. Her reflection in the mirror shimmied.
"He called," I said.
"When?"
"While you were--" I waved a hand. "Said he had measles."
Her mouth dropped as I walked away grinning..
