Chapter 13: Bra Buying 101

Friday morning I came to the conclusion that I hated my life. I had no boobs, a boyfriend whose memory I had to erase, and a best friend who got to go to the Polk Middle School eighth grade dance without me. Well, there was at least one of those things I could change.

I decided I needed a bra. In my mind a bra would at least make my world bearable again. If Tai got to buy cute little bras with lace and hearts, I wanted to buy some as well. Who cares if I didn't quite have the boobs to fill them out? I'd heard something somewhere about training bras. Maybe that's what I needed. My boobs just needed to be trained to grow.

"Mommy, I need money," I said as my mother lay in bed in her darkened room. She still hadn't gotten over her headache.

"Why?" she groaned.

"I need…some feminine products."

"I have plenty in the bathroom. Help yourself." She put a pillow over her head.

"No, not that. I need..." Why was I nervous about asking my mother for a bra? Oh, I knew why. I was afraid she'd take one look at my chest and laugh. "I need shoes and a matching purse for my date with Kyle tomorrow." She didn't respond. "You're not my size," I added for effect.

She pointed to her wallet on the dresser. "No more than thirty dollars, okay?"

"Thanks, Mom." I removed the pillow, smoothed her red hair out of the way and kissed her cheek. She was really warm. I hoped she wasn't coming down with something serious. "Are you sure you're okay, Mom?"

"I'm fine. It's just a bug or something."

I wasn't so sure. For some reason, I thought back to how she looked right after I rescued her from the Selliwood Institute. The machine that stripped her powers had put her in so much pain and left her so weak that she couldn't even move for days. She was in and out of consciousness for at least a week.

I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek again. "I love you, Mom." As I stood up to leave, she grabbed my wrist.

"I love you too, Priss. No matter what happens, I love you."

I wanted to ask her what she meant by that, but she had fallen asleep instantly.

After grabbing the cash, I found Tai in my room.

"I gotta go out for a while," I said.

"Oh, where? Can I come?"

"Uh, I'll be right back." I didn't want her to come. It was a little embarrassing that I was about to buy a bra just because she had one. I didn't want her to think I was a copycat.

"Where are you going? I want to come." She crossed her arms. "No offense, but this farm is boring. And I can't figure out why Josh keeps staring at me. Is he trying to read my mind or something?"

I shrugged. "Probably." I wondered if I should tell her about Josh's vision that she was going to kill me.
