CHAPTER 7

In typical Truly Winx fashion, I went to school the next day with a plan. One that may have been called mischievous. I called it brilliant.

If Jane and I couldn’t hang out after school because of my bratty family, then we could just ditch school to work on the dress.

Unfortunately, Jane wasn’t quite seeing the brilliance like I was. “I’m not leaving school. It’s against the rules.”

I chewed on my bottom lip, because that was the only thing stopping me rolling my eyes at her and I didn’t want to make it worse. “Nobody will notice we’re missing. It’s just a few classes. It’s not like we need school anyway.”

“Our education is the most important thing in the world for us right now,” Jane replied. I was pretty certain she was summoning the spirit of Principal Lynch. “We can’t miss even one class.”

Again, I bit my lip. “Nothing will happen in one class. Come on, Jane. Do something daring for once in your life.” She continued to shake her head. I wasn’t proud of what I said next. “If you get in trouble, your parents will have to come to the school. Isn’t that something you’d like? Some attention?”

I could literally see the anger rising within her. “You are impossible.” Okay, I deserved that. Jane stormed off in one direction and I resigned myself to the fact I was going to my first class.

I didn’t see Jane for the rest of the day. I think she was avoiding me. I sent her a text message anyway, saying I had to go straight home after school so wouldn’t be able to see the dress again today. That was really sad. I was dying to see how she was bringing my creation to life.

It took forever for the bus to reach my apartment building. So long I could have done my homework along the way. Notice how I said could and not did. Homework was not my favorite thing. It didn’t even make the top one hundred things I would rather be doing on a bus.

The routine was the same once I did finally get home. I relieved our neighbor, gave Lily some food to stop her ‘muppis’ ramblings and made sure the boys were okay.

Just when I started peeling the vegetables for dinner, there was a knock on the door. We never got visitors. My heart stopped in panic before I managed to get to the door.

I was too nervous to look through the peephole because, let’s face it, it’s a two-way thing. Whoever I was peeping on would be able to peep right back at me only in reverse perspective. I did it anyway, because I was brave like that.

Seeing Jane was a relief… for a second. Then panic set in anew. I couldn’t have Jane seeing where I lived, it looked like a dirty shack compared to her house. My entire apartment was nothing more than a speck on her mansion.

“Truly? It’s me, Jane,” she called through the door.
