When I returned with Doctor Marlowe, I could see from the expressions on the other girls' faces that they had been talking about me. They had trouble looking directly at me, especially Cathy. I sat and waited for Doctor Marlowe, who put on her glasses to read something on her pad before turning back to us.

She crooked her right pinky finger as if holding a thought around it and then smiled when she was finished reading.

"Do you want to continue, Misty?" she asked.

I glanced at the others. All three of them looked worried that I wouldn't.

"I don't care. Sure," I said and started. It was almost like having eaten something bad and needing to get it out of your system.

"A few days after I had gone with Charles Allen to his home, I brought him home with me after school so he could meet my mother and she could meet him. I had spoken about him a few times at dinner, and that was enough for her to start calling him my boyfriend.

"'I should meet your boyfriend,' she insisted, putting on that official mother's face she hated because it made her look older. 'I should know what he's like since you're spending so much time with him and have even gone to his house and met his mother.'

"She whined the last part, sounding hurt that I had met his mother before he had met mine. Ever since the divorce, it was like my mother was on an Easter egg hunt for possible ways to make me feel guilty.

"'First, he's not my boyfriend, Mother,' I told her. 'Second, I'm not spending all that much time with him. And, third, you never asked to meet any of my other friends and I've been to lots of their houses and met their parents, too.'

"'That was different,' she replied. My mother always nods after she says something she wants you to agree with. It's like she's coaching your thoughts.

"'Why?' Imanted to know. Of course she was disappointed I would question her. The corners of her mouth dropped.

"'Because your father was still living here. For God's sake, Misty, surely you're old enough to realize that all the responsibility is mine now,' she moaned with a sigh to suggest the great weight that had been dumped on her fragile but perfect little shoulders.
