By the time the end of the day comes, my head is so tired from thinking about the wax museum and my eyes are so tired from fake-squinting that I think I might need a doctor for real, which is a good thing, since that’s where we’re going.

The good news is, the rain has gone away and it has turned into a cooler day. I am excited to be wearing a corduroy skirt (finally!) with argyle tights and turquoise rain boots. There are even some leaves blowing up around us and I feel like fall is on its way. I zip up while we wait for the bus.

I tell my mom all about the wax museum and the rap and she asks who I’m going to be.

I shrug.

“Want me to help you think of someone?” she asks.

“Maybe,” I say, but I want to change the subject. The bus comes just in time. “Will there be shots?” I ask my mom once we’re seated.

“I honestly don’t know,” she says.

I stare out the window feeling nervous and wondering why I pushed for a doctor’s appointment anyway. I mean, I have to miss Look at Us Now! rehearsal. But then I picture Charlotte and her polka-dot glasses and I remember. She just looks so different and so smart and so … different. I picture myself walking into school tomorrow with glasses — Turquoise with stripes? Argyle, like my favorite socks? — and I feel like squealing. Between that and the wax museum, this really would be the best school year ever. I almost forget all about the possible shots until I picture a nurse coming at me with a big smile and a syringe. I feel my knees start to shake, so I try to distract myself with a list.
