I stared at the hideous green-and-gold uniform in the mirror, twisting left and right, but there wasn’t an angle that magically made it any better. I traipsed out into the living room.

Selina’s eyes widened. “Oh my.”

“I know,” I grumped. “It’s hideous.”

“There’s a reason none of the kids at your school wear the uniform. And that right there is it.”

We both dissolved into laughter.

“It’s good to see you smiling,” I said. “And at least you look fantastic.”

Selina did a little spin, showing off the magenta dress that clung to her body like a second skin. She’d paired it with tall black heels and a cute, lightweight jacket. Her shiny black clutch was gripped between her fingers, her nails perfectly matching the color of her dress.

“Thank you. It’s nice to smile. And to wear something other than sweatpants.”

I hadn’t actually seen Selina in sweatpants once over the last few weeks. I doubted she even owned any. But I understood her point. She hadn’t worn anything quite as bright and cheerful as she was tonight, either.

“You went all out for this dinner, huh? It’s probably going to be boring.”

Selina pulled me up from the couch. “Getting to see you speak is never boring, sweetheart. And I needed this. I needed a reason to get back out there. Now, what time is this boy picking you up? I don’t know how I feel about this.”

“You know, most parents would be pleased when their kid says she’s going on a date with the principal’s son.”

“And if you were talking about the principal of Edgely Academy, I’d be over the moon. But we’re talking about Saint View…this boy does have all his teeth, right?”

I snorted on a laugh, and Selina threw me a wink.

“Be nice, okay? Try not to be a total snob.”

“I’m not a snob!”

I raised one eyebrow.

“Okay, fine, I am. But only when it comes to you. I just want you to have the very best. And that includes a boyfriend who isn’t going to end up in prison before he’s twenty-one.”

I groaned. This was exactly why I hadn’t wanted to introduce her to Banjo. She said these things in jest, but I was ninety-nine percent certain that deep down, she meant them. She hadn’t looked impressed when I’d told her she’d have to drive to the dinner alone tonight, because I had a date. Her frown hadn’t lessened any when I’d talked Rafe up, telling her how he was top of the junior year. She hadn’t gone all-out and put a blanket ban on me dating anyone from Saint View, but if she knew Banjo’s brother was a drug dealer, or that Rafe got high before class, she would have a restraining order out before I could blink.

A knock at the door had her raising an eyebrow. “He knocks. I have to admit, I’m surprised.”

“Did you expect him just to honk from the gates?”

“I expected him to holler your name like a caveman, actually.”

I didn’t think she was joking. Shooting her a warning look, I smoothed the ugly uniform, then opened the door, Selina close behind me.
