CHAPTER 14

My mom enters the kitchen and freezes in her clogs. “You’re up early,” she says.

I press one more key on my laptop and slam it shut. The printer croaks awake in the living room. I stand up from the table. “I had to finish something.”

My mom inserts a pod into the coffee maker. “It wouldn’t happen to be one of those scholarship essays, would it?”

“Um. Not yet. But I’ve been, like, brainstorming a ton of ideas and stuff.” I totally forgot about the essays.

“That sounds so exciting,” she says, sliding our only clean mug under the spout. “And you’re sure you don’t want to plan another night to do them together? I told you, this time I’ll just tell my boss I don’t even exist. I am nonexistent on that day. Except to you. I promise.”

She’s already apologized fifty times about blowing taco night, and I appreciate the effort, but right now those essays are the last thing on my mind. “Maybe. I’ll definitely let you know.”

“Wait. Where are you going?”

I can’t delay. I need to retrieve the papers coming out of the printer. The last time I printed out something private it fell into the wrong hands.

“Is everything okay?” she asks.

I turn around in the doorway. “Yeah, it’s just this thing for school.”

“No, I mean in general. Your session with Dr. Sherman went well? And before you answer, I want you to know that I was going to ask you about it last night, but I didn’t because I know you need time to process. How’s that for Mother of the Year material?” She laughs awkwardly.

“You’re a shoo-in,” I say, scratching loose paint off the wall. “Actually, I think I might have had a little breakthrough with Dr. Sherman.”

You would think I just handed her a winning lottery ticket. She shoots up two thumbs and dances her fists in the air. “That’s what I’m talking about.”

Another happy customer.
