I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, tugging at my white coat to make sure it hung well. Today was the big speech competition, and everything had to be perfect. My hair was pulled back in a neat ban, and I’d even put on a little makeup to hide the dark circles under my eyes from string up late practiring

Mom’s eyes clouded slightly, And… Bradley? Have you talked to him?”

God, not this again. She still hadn’t given up hope that Bradley and I would patch things up after she found out that we both broke up.
