Glitter Up, Girls!

I never thought I’d say this, because I Mapleton Prep and I’m usually full of school spirit, but TGIF! I’m sooooo glad Spirit Week is almost over. It hasn’t turned out to be nearly as much fun as I thought it would be. You know when you’ve looked forward to something for a long time, and then it doesn’t quite live up to your expectations? Yup. Like that.

Maybe today, School Colors Day, will be the day that turns it all around. I’m really happy with how the accessories I made last night (with help from Kate, thank you, sparkly teammate!!) came out. How do you spice up School Colors Day? Add sequins! We found some sequined material in the hat closet at Priti’s house when we were looking at hats. Priti said I could use it, and I tried to work it as little as possible so nothing went to waste, because it’s so beautiful and sparkly! It’ll give our outfits the perfect finishing touch when it’s time for the karaoke competition, don’t you think?

Now if we can only remember all the dance moves and the words to our song! Wish me—oops! I mean, wish us—luck!

The entrance to Mapleton Prep was a sea of red and silver when Kate and Zoey got off the bus the next morning.

Morning classes passed quickly because they were on an abbreviated schedule so the students could finish early for the school assembly.

Kate, Libby, Priti, and Zoey met in the girls’ bathroom before the assembly to get dressed for the karaoke competition. Zoey had a shopping bag full of sparkly accessories to add to their School Colors Day outfits.

“What do you think?” she asked, putting a fascinator on Libby first. “Does this look right?”

“Perfect, totally, yes! And I love what you did with the fabric!” Priti exclaimed, practically bouncing with excitement. “Where’s mine? I can’t wait to put it on!”

Zoey took it out and helped Priti put it in her hair. Kate gave Priti a scarf and wrist cuffs. Priti wrapped the scarf around her neck and tossed the ends over her shoulder with a jaunty flair.

“These accessories are so cool!” Libby said, snapping on some wrist cuffs. “You must have been up all night, Zoey.”

“No, Kate helped me,” Zoey said. “Otherwise I totally would have been up all night.”

Soon after, the entire school gathered in the auditorium for the Spirit Assembly and karaoke competition. There was red and silver everywhere!

“Thank you for all the creativity you’ve displayed this week,” Ms. Austen told the students. “I’ve been so impressed by the outfits you’ve come up with for each of our Spirit Week theme days.”

She picked up the remote for the projector.

“Let’s have a look at some of the great ensembles we’ve seen in school this week,” she said, starting a slideshow.

Zoey grabbed Kate when a picture of Kate and Libby in their Oreos and milk costume came up. “Look! It’s you!”

There also was a picture of Priti in her Decades Day costume, and Zoey in her Backward Day outfit.
