Mom’s alarm clock buzzed without end. She was already downstairs and refused to come up to turn it off.

She was pretty mad when I finally made it into the kitchen. I was moving slowly since I was tired; plus I couldn’t find a head scarf or bandana to match my outfit and it had taken me forever to get dressed. I wasn’t sure what the rule was for matching. I only knew nail polish should match on both fingertips and toes, and not to wear white bras after Labor Day or something. I made a mental note to read a fashion magazine and figure this stuff out once and for all.

Mom was stuffing papers from the table into her briefcase and tried to grab one that fluttered away. She quickly read it before she stuffed it in her bag. “Sofia, when were you going to mention this?”

I could tell it was from school by the logo at the top. My brain raced to think of what else I had recently neglected to tell her.

“The school dance?” she said. “In sixth grade, you told me that more than anything, you wanted to go and dance with a cute boy.”

“No one asked me in sixth grade,” I reminded her.

“So?”

“No one asked me this year either.” I faked a big bright smile. “Maybe life really is getting back to normal.”
