Chapter 18

“Mrs. Langston?” Secret said, out of breath after abandoning her cart and racing to the dairy section to find Mrs. Langston.

Mrs. Langston turned around stunned. “Oh, Secret. Yes, dear, what is it?”

“The letter. You said you got a copy of the scholarship letter.”

“Yes.” Confusion laced Mrs. Langston’s smile.

“I was wondering if I could have a copy of it. I’d really like to have it as a keepsake. I, uh, lost mine. Probably with all the packing and the moving to the dorm, you know. It would really mean so much to me if you could give me a copy of that letter.”

“Oh, of course,” Mrs. Langston said. “I still have it. I, too, wanted it as a keepsake. When I retire someday I’m going to go through all my letters and see how many of my students made it big. I know you’re going to be one of them.” She smiled. “Just give me your address and I’ll mail it to you.”

Secret quickly dug down in her purse and pulled out a piece of mail she had along with a pen. She wrote her address down on the envelope and then ripped the piece off and gave it to her former high school counselor.

Mrs. Langston looked at the paper. A puzzled expression came across her face. “This is a Flint address.”

“Yeah, well uh . . .” Secret stammered for words.

“Oh, yeah, I know it’s hard keeping up with mail when you’re dealing with dorms and roommates. Students use their parents’ mailing address all the time. Don’t you worry; I’ll make sure I get the copy mailed out to you.”

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Langston. The sooner the better and I really do appreciate it.”

“No problem, Secret. Take care.”

Secret nodded then headed back up the aisle to the exit door. Her mind was a million miles away from the cart full of groceries she was leaving behind and the fact that in ten more minutes she was supposed to be meeting Shawndiece.

She made her way to her car just in time for the dam to break. She could no longer contain her mixed emotions. Secret gripped the steering wheel as tears poured from her eyes. Had either Mrs. Langston or her mother made a mistake? Had there been some sort of crazy mix-up on the scholarship committee’s part?

If anything, Secret felt her mother would have had deliberate intentions, lying to Secret just to keep her from her dreams. But was Yolanda really that hateful where she would rip all that Secret had worked for right from underneath her? Secret didn’t know.

“But what I do know,” Secret said to herself, “is if that bitch stole my life, I’ll kill her.”
