"Did you hear back from the colleges you sent application forms yet?" Mr. George asked Maxene the next morning when she walked into the kitchen to eat breakfast.
Both Mr. and Mrs. George were already seated at the round kitchen table, eatting thier breakfast, of eggs and waffles. "Dad I just sent in the applications last night, it's going to take them sometime before they reply." Maxene replied, she wasn't too worried about hearing back from any of the schools mostly because she didn't really care about going to college, she had other plans.

"Maxene, I'm sorry." Mr. George started, as he reached Maxene's closed bedroom door.
"It's just that I'm worried about you getting into a good college." Mr. George finished. "Dad, you have nothing to worry about." Maxene assured him, as she opened her bedroom door. "That's good to know." Mr. George replied. "As a matter of fact, I think I'll take my applications down to the post office right now." Maxene replied, she was actually going to meet with Jenny her cousin, and sense the post office on the way to Jenny's house, she figured she might as well stop by and drop the applications. "Great, would you like me to drive you there?" Mr. George asked, delighted that Maxene was finally taking the whole college subject seriously.
"No,thanks dad. I'm going to Jenny's afterwards. so I won't be back till late." Maxene replied, with that she turned and collected her purse, and the college applications letters she was going to drop off at the post office.

"Can't you two just leave me alone,about the whole application thing!" Maxene yelled exsperately, as she stomped up the stairs to her bedroom. "See what you've done, you've gotten the princess angry." Mrs. George admonished turning to Mr. George as she walked over to the fridge. "Funny, very funny," Mr. George replied, "I'll go talk with her." Mr. George replied, as he started out of the kitchen. "No, wait till she calms down." Mrs. George advised as she took out a bottle of water, and closed the fridge door. "Your probably right." Mr. George agreed, going back to where he'd been standing.

Mrs. George replied, agreeing with her husband.
"Not you too!" Maxen screamed exasperatly, slamming the fridge door, she stormed out of the kitchen.

"Can you beleive they're actually selling these for ninety nine dollars?!" Janet exclaimed to Maxene as she held up a pair of Levi Blue Jeans. "That's nothing, I saw a pair over in the corner, for a hundred and fifty nine." Maxene replied, they'd been a pair of black jeans, with diamond studs running up each leg.
"Let's just leave this place." Janet said as she put the jeans back onto the rack.
"But I found some pretty cool stuff, beside's there;s a sales rack we can check out at the back of the store." Maxene suggested pointing towards the end of the store, where thier where a sign with the words Fifty percent off was hung in the back of the store. "Hopefully I'll find a decent pair of pants." Janet replied as she headed towards the sales racks ahead of Maxene. "I'll be with you in a few, I'm going to check out the new skirts." Maxene called after her. "Okay." Janet said, with a slight wave of her hand.

"You couldn't have called and told me that you where going to wear pants?" Janet asked, when Maxene arrived at thier usual meeting place, in a pair of black pants.
Janet thinking that Maxene would be wearing a mini skirt, had worn one herself.
And now she felt weird, with Maxene wearing pants and she wearing a mini skirt.
It just didn't match. "Well I didn't think it was that big of a deal, besides, we're going clothes shopping anyway, you can probably pick up a pair of pants." Maxene replied, she had easy soloutions for everything. "Let's get going then." Janet said hurridly, she wanted to get to the stores before the crowds started, Being the sales season, the shops where sure to get beyond crowded, with crazed shoppers looking for the best sales.
