down.” She dropped her hands to her sides and trudged toward the house. “I’m sorry to make you wait to go to New York.”
“Don’t be dumb,” Brynn said. “It’s more important that you feel better.”
“That’s how I felt about waking you up for the game,” Alex explained. “It was more important that you got enough rest. You know what it’s going to be like to have an all-bunk sleepover. What if you were just too tired to enjoy it?”
Then she realized she had to tell Brynn what her mother had said. She bit her lower lip.
“Brynn, my mom told me that if I don’t feel better, I won’t be allowed to go at all.”
Brynn’s eyes widened. “Oh, no!”
“I know.” She nodded. “So I’d better go take that nap, okay?”
“Yes, sure. Oh, Alex!” Brynn gave her a big hug. “Don’t worry. Even if we can’t go, we’ll have fun together.”
Alex was nearly in tears. Brynn was, too. She knew Brynn was just trying be a good friend. How much fun had she had so far? And how could anything they did compare to missing the reunion?
Alex said, “You are being really cool about the situation. Thank you so much, Brynn.”
“It’s no biggie,” Brynn said, her cheeks reddening. “Go. Rest.”
“I will totally rest,” Alex promised.
As Alex headed for her bedroom, her mom brought her a sandwich and took a fingerstick to check her blood sugar level. She looked down at the little readout and said, “It’s good, honey. Maybe you’re just overtired. Have some food and take that nap.”
She said to Brynn, “She needs some time alone, all right, Brynn?”
“Okay.” Brynn smiled very hard. “Can I help with anything? Do you need some vegetables chopped?”
“No, thank you. Maybe you’d like to watch a movie,” Alex’s mom said. “I’ll show you what we have.”
Alex’s mom walked with Brynn toward the shelves where they kept their DVDs. Alex took that as her cue to go into her room.
She shut her door as she gobbled down half of the sandwich.
Then she froze, and caught her breath.
Draped over her desk chair was a totally sweet outfit!
Brynn had pulled it together for her, and it was incredible. Brynn had paired Alex’s navy blue polo shirts with her black jeans. That would have looked plain and boring, the kind of thing Alex wore. But then Brynn had added a sense of drama by threading a feathery black and silver fringe scarf through the belt loops. The scarf was nothing like anything Alex owned—although she had been wanting a fringed scarf forever. And to use it as a belt was beyond cool.
Then Brynn had arranged a black velvet choker over the neckline of the navy blue top. A silver half moon dangled from the center of the choker. Two black barrettes balanced on either shoulder. They were decorated with silver beads that caught the sparkle of the silver moon.
It was completely, totally perfect for the reunion!
She thought about calling out to Brynn to thank her, but she knew she would end up trying on the outfit with her. To get to the reunion she needed to quietly finish her sandwich and get some rest.
Smiling big-time, feeling better already, she walked to her closet and found her black flats. She wished she had some silver ones, but Alex had always been a conservative dresser.
Until today , she thought excitedly. And I have Brynn to thank for my bold new look!
Maybe Brynn had been angry with her for leaving her at home, but that hadn’t stopped her from being a great best friend.
I’ve got to feel better, Alex told herself. No way am I keeping Brynn from going to that reunion!
Natalie was having trouble enjoying her manicure.
Getting her nails buffed, polished, and dried took too long. She was twenty minutes over the three hours her mother had booked with the spa.
She was very hungry. It had been hours since breakfast, and all they had had to eat since then were a few bites of dried mango and a cup of tea.
Skye came in. She said, “Would you like some more tea or
