They almost made it to the front door, when Jon's mom yelled out.
"Jon! What are you wearing?"
"Um, well ..."
"It's a dare," Karyn said.
"A dare?"
"Yeah, someone dared Jon to wear these clothes for ... the rest of the day."
"Well, I don't think you should do that, Jon. I don't think anything is worth doing that. Aren't you embarrased?"
"That's the point, Mrs. Peterson. Look, we have to go."
"Okay, but be careful. And try to be back before nine."
Karyn and Jon went out the front door and ran to Sarah's house.
"Thanks for helping me out with my mom."
"Hey, what are friends for?"
I just hope she doesn't go in my room, Jon thought.
