Jessie glanced at her watch and　said, "Better　finish up everyone, we've got to get back to class."
　　　　 When school was over, Lisa rushed home　as fast as she could. She had so much to do, and this time,　picking out an outfit was the least of it.　She also had to prepare the food for the barbeque and arrange the table.

By 6:00, the patio dining table was set, and it　was laden　with every type of burger topping imaginable. Large bowls of coleslaw, potato salad and other fixings were deliberately placed on the table in accordance with Lisa's decorative eye.

Lisa　smiled　contentedly to herself　when she stepped back to admire her work.　Everything looked nice and inviting.　She stole a last minute glance in the mirror to make sure that she too looked up to snuff.　 Happy with the look of the smiling face and figure　that glanced back at her, Lisa was at last satisfied and ready to welcome her guests.　 She was relieved that she managed all of her tasks in such a short time.　She was even more grateful that her hair didn't take too　long to arrange and that　the clothes that she picked out for the occasion, a pair of　slacks and a form-fitting blouse fit her amazingly well.　Besides, they were nice and breezy; elegant, but not overly sophisticated.　 "These will do just fine," she　commented to herself.　 The youthful assurance of beauty was never something that she did not take the time to verify and to delight in.
