            Joanna had stopped at a restaurant that had a big bathroom on her way to the café where she was supposed to meet Selena. She changed into a pair of old shorts and a gray shirt. She put her hair up in a ponytail and washed her face free of make-up with a wash-cloth she had in her purse. The last thing Joanna needed was to stun Selena senseless by showing up looking the way Clarice looks.            She was fifteen minutes late getting to the café, but she got there. It was the café they used to have coffee in before Selena got married.            “Hi,” Joanna said as she approached the table two tables away from the front window. “I’m sorry I’m late.”            “Well, a

            The fashion students could hardly believe their eyes when they got a look at the three judges. New York born fashion designer, Mickey James, ELLE magazine’s fashion writer, Deidre Payne, and famous French clothing designer, Coco Blanchet were the judges.            Keyonna, Joanna, and twenty other students stood next to their creations trying not to fangirl out, as Keyonna would say.            It felt like Joanna had to wait for hours for them to get to her station, but they finally did.            “Nice,” Deidre Payne commented as she looked over Joanna’s wedding dress.            “Thank you,” Joanna whispered.  &

            There was a makeup artist and hairstylist who prepared Joanna to be interviewed. Keyonna had arrived and she had spun around like Michael Jackson when they had told her she was one of the winners for the fashion review. Deidre Payne had shown up to interview them and to get quotes from Professor Quest and Coco Blanchet.A photographer took Joanna and Keyonna’s pictures next to their creations individually. Then they posed together in front of the rows of fabric. They even took pictures with Coco. They were going to be featured in the October issue of the magazine.Once everything was said and done, Keyonna twirled around and danced out the conference room to rush home to tell her family. Joanna was gathering her wits. It seemed like everything was happening so fast. When she had said this to Professor Quest, he had said, “Get used to it. You’re in the big leagues now, Joanna. The f

            Joanna lye on the twin size bed on her back. Courtney sat on the edge of it. She had finished telling Courtney everything that had happened today fifteen minutes ago.            The girls sat in silence as they held each other’s hands. Joanna could tell Courtney felt sorry for her, but Joanna didn’t want her pity. She wanted the ability to turn back time to July fourth when she had told Trevor the truth about her background. She wanted a second chance to tell Trevor the rest of her story. But, that was never going to happen.            There was a tapping on the door.            Courtney let go of Joanna’s hand and walked to the door and opened it.          

            The flight to Maine was only an hour and twenty minutes long. Joanna had gotten nervous when the plane was taking off. Once they got into the air and straightened out, she had relaxed. The stewardess in first class rushed back to her to check on her. She had seen how Joanna trembled when the seatbelt light came on. William had sprung for her to have a first class seat. Joanna knew enough about flying to know first class cost extra. All in all in was a pleasant experience.Per William’s instructions, which he had written down for her, she had to take a taxi to Wiscasset. It was fifty miles away from the airport she had landed in, Portland International Jetport.The cab driver was friendly and chatty. He had lived in Portland for fifteen years with his second wife. He had one son who was in college. He had also driven many people to Wiscasset from the airport. Apparently, a lot of people go
