turn around to address me. “No.” She placed the answer key over my answers and pulled a red pen out of nowhere. Both Lindsey and I watched as she made some swift marks on the page.
It felt like forever before she looked up from the sheet. She turned back to me slowly. “Eighty-one percent.”
“Oh.” Oh no! I made too many of them wrong! “What does that mean? Did I fail? Did I pass?”
Miss Fine didn’t say anything but Lindsey piped in. “That’s more than passing. That’s in the top percentile of scores, Penny. Congrats!”
“What?” Oh no, I didn’t make enough of them wrong.
“I told you that the you weren’t meant to ace the test but you practically did.” She couldn’t contain herself any longer. She burst from her seat and ran over to give me a hug. “You’re a superstar!”
Miss Fine looked at me with renewed interest. She tapped her red pen on the desk. “Interesting. Very interesting, Penny.”
I didn’t say anything. I had to keep my mouth closed because I had a strong feeling I was about to throw up.
Chapter 14
It was after five when Miss Fine finally stop staring at me and I was able to escape. My mom was blowing my phone up, texting to ask if I would be home for dinner, and calling when I didn’t answer. But I was so stunned about everything that had just happened I couldn’t deal with her right then. Instead, I went straight to Audrey’s apartment.
I didn’t even knock when I got there. I just threw opened her door and yelled, “I cheated! I cheated!”
It was only after I finished yelling that I realized that Audrey wasn’t in the room. Instead there was a woman with long dark hair and blue eyes sitting on her couch flipping through a magazine.
We looked each other for a moment and then yelled “Audrey?” at the exact same time, almost as if it were planned.
“What?” Audrey came barreling out of the bedroom wearing a bright yellow-orange dress with puffy sleeves and a shiny fabric. All of the layers swallowed her up. She looked like she was being attacked by a giant grapefruit. Even though I was all concerned about what had just happened, I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.
“I’m glad you find this funny. Close the damn door.” Audrey hitched up the humongous yellow orange skirt and sank into the couch.
I shut the door but kept laughing. “You look ridiculous.”
Audrey turned to the lady on the couch. “See? I told you.”
The lady looked annoyed. “It’s nacho cheese. You chose nacho cheese and that was the only nacho cheese dress in the store.”
“I was hungry!” Audrey growled. “I don’t really care about the color of the dress!”
“Who is this, Audrey?” The lady acknowledged me for the first time. By this point, I’d gotten control over my laughter but the sight of Audrey in that big dress was still making me grin like an idiot.
“That’s Penny. She’s this little disadvantaged kid I’m temporarily mentoring. Penny, this is Mellie. She used to be my best friend. Until she made me put on this dress, that is. Now she’s dead to me.”
Mellie ignored the best friend comment. “Who thought that would be a good idea?”
“Hey, I have wisdom to offer the youth of the nation.”
“Like what?”
“Like. . .” she paused to think. “Like, never agree to be a bridesmaid. Ever. No matter how much you like the girl getting married,” she finished with a grin.
Mellie threw a pillow at Audrey. “Take it off. I’m taking it back and I’m going to find a nice dress in a nice shade of yellow and you’ll wear whatever I come up with.”
Audrey stomped back into the room. “See if they have some nice hoodie options.” When she came back with the dress in a garment bag, she handed it to Mellie, they said their goodbyes, and Mellie left. Now that Audrey was back in her usual jeans and t-shirt combo, she was a little less ridiculous. “So what’s up? How did it go today?”
“I cheated.”
“What? How?”
