"You know there's a store that specializes in what you're looking for in your size." Celeste jumped in shock, whirling around and giving the girl a mild glare. Her expression softened a bit when she saw that the girl probably meant no harm by it...In fact, she actually felt an odd sense of...

(Celeste Beaumont continued from Personal Victory ) It was time she got sexier. Celeste wandered through one of the stores, looking for something that was appropriate for a woman her age. And sexy--something that showed skin but not to much, something to tease the men with. After her recent adventur...

Celeste took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Funny how just thinking about the Prom had little effect on her, but actually arriving made her so nervous. But John was right--chances are nobody would notice them, so it was going to be fine. At Jack's question on whether they had their cellphones, ...

As John slipped the corsage over her wrist, Celeste couldn't stop staring, couldn't wipe that smile off her face. She hardly believed she was even here, with a date...and John, no less! He's real sweet, i suppose... she found herself thinking. Guess I was right when I said I'd have to keep him. &quo...

"Oh! This is for you." "What now?" Celeste blinked, pulled out of her daydreaming, and saw John offer her a box. Oh, I bet I know what this is, Celeste thought. What else came in boxes and were opened at the Prom? Celeste took the box, and lifted the lid with surprising ease. A q...

"Thank you," Celeste whispered back, noticing how John had turned his phone off. Raising an eyebrow at that, she looked back from the phone to John's face, asking the silent question. After a moment, however, she shrugged and sat back in her seat. She'd find out later. Celeste didn't know ...

"Thank you," Celeste said, blushing a bit. She smiled and walked with John to the car, ignoring her sister's shout of "Have fuuuun!" She shook her head again, frowning slightly. Well, at least Amanda hadn't tried to flirt with John...much. "This is my dad, Jack." Celest...

Celeste jumped at the sound of the knock, startled a bit and still nervous. Unfortunately for her, Amanda was quicker, and ran for the door, winking at her little sister as she turned the knob. "Amanda, don't you dare--!" Celeste began. The door opened, and Amanda grinned even wider at the...

Well, Carrie was over, as was Mrs. Doubtfire, Terminator , and some made-for-TV movie that Celeste hadn't caught the name of. She looked up at the clock, seeing how late it was. Yikes, she had a dress to put on! Hurrying to her room, Celeste changed out of her clothes and slipped her dress on, zippi...

Celeste sat down on the couch--carefully so she didn't mess her hair up, and turned on the TV. Taking a bit from her peanut-butter sandwich, she chuckled a bit at the irony-- Carrie was on TV. Others might have gotten nervous by such a thing, but Celeste wasn't worried. No blood was spilled at Prom-...

"And you're finished now, Miss." Celeste took the mirror, blinking in surprise at her reflection. The make-up was a bit subtler than what she usually wore, but it looked a lot better...Interesting. She leaned closer, looking at the liner and shadow first and then her lips. Hm...everything ...

Okay, got the dress, got the hair...Got some jewelry at home, and what I don't have in that department, I can borrow from Sis... Celeste walked through the mall, dress neatly folded in a thin bag, on its hanger. She ran a mental checklist of things a girl needed for Prom. A dress, a hair-do, shoes ...

'Have 2 try hard 2 beat ur normal look.' Celeste chuckled as she read the message, hitting the button to exit the text. That reply had come pretty quickly too...Either he was very eager and waiting by the phone like a lovesick girl, or he was out somewhere. Most people did carry their phones with th...

She'd made it to the salon, but it had started out on a sour note. They were having a Prom Special...discounts for hairstyles and haircuts, and glitter to be added free of charge, but when Celeste had asked for it, they'd thought she was kidding. I am so a senior and I am so going to Prom! she thoug...

Celeste's phone went off again almost right after she sent her text. The girl giggled a bit as she left the house for the mall. Someone's eager. 'Cool. See u l8r. I'll bring a ride.' "Well, I don't think there's any point in hoping it's a limo," Celeste mumbled a bit, nodding and pocketing...
