The weekend had finally arrived, and I still didn’t know how we managed to pull off the episode. As expected, the congressman was a no-show, which really didn’t make for great TV, but at least Ms. D couldn’t say that we didn’t do our best.

Now I could focus on more important matters—such as meeting Vince.

For the nth time, I checked my reflection in the mirror. Even if I had just taken a shower, my armpits were starting to sweat from the effort of several wardrobe changes. Quickly I swiped on deodorant.

Finally I grew tired of obsessing about what to wear and settled on the first ensemble I tried on. I blow-dried my hair, applied lip gloss, and grabbed my denim boho bag before dashing out of my room.

“Why so dressed up?” Mia was yawning, carrying a cup of coffee from the kitchen.

“Oh, just meeting a friend.” I inched closer to the door, hoping for a quick getaway.

“Nice top.” She eyed my knitted lemon-and-lime blouse, which I had paired with leggings, ballet flats, and Mama’s silver hoop earrings. She reached out to touch it. “Is it from Zara?”

“Nope, from ukay-ukay,” I declared proudly.

Mia drew back her hand quickly. “You mean it’s secondhand?”

I rolled my eyes. “Yes, Mia, and it’s not fatal. You should come with me sometime. You can buy truckloads of secondhand outfits with your spending money.”

Her nose wrinkled in distaste. “No, thanks. Just the thought of touching clothes that belong to dead people makes me break out in hives!” She peered closer at my top. “Come to think of it, it does look kind of worn and creepy.”

“Okay, I have to go,” I said a bit too quickly. Mia could be so tactless sometimes.

I closed the door to her cheery “Byeee!”

Downstairs the guard opened the gate for me, and I smiled my thanks.

“Wow, Ma’am Crissy,” he said, smiling, “you’re getting prettier every day.”

“Talaga?” I beamed. “Thank you!”

I stepped out into sunshine, my feet floating on clouds. No one, not even Mia, was going to ruin today.
