ME
Dear Travis Jones,
I keyed your car because you made my sister cut herself all summer during her sophomore year. She may not be my best friend, but she didn’t deserve the way you treated her.
Wish I Would’ve Told You,
Scarlett
On Monday morning, my fingers tremble as I stare at a bright blue envelope.
“Are you planning to open it, Miss Crane?” My band director, Mr. Jones, smiles at me.
“No, I’m waiting to wake up in reality.”
He laughs. “You’re in the real world right now, Miss Crane. I promise.”
I continue staring at the envelope.
The return address bears the logo from the London Music Program. It’s been my dream to play there since I was a little girl, since my first private tutor wooed me with stories and albums of her time abroad.
“You have to open it at some point.” Mr. Jones laughs. “Whenever you get around to doing that, come and tell me your thoughts, okay?”
“Okay.” He walks away and I run my fingers along the edges before tearing the envelope open.
After unfolding the paper, I blink a few times to make sure my eyes aren’t playing a trick on me.
Dear Miss Scarlett Crane,
We wish you’d applied to our program sooner, but we’re honored to accept someone of your caliber into our esteemed summer program.
We’d be further honored if you considered joining us for a special six month program that will run through the spring and end before most college fall semesters begin.
Please respond promptly to this letter.
The London Music Program
Goingto London would mean missing prom, graduation, and…Easton.
I tuck it into my backpack and head to the cafeteria.
Kevin pushes my shoulder as he walks by. Then he sits on the far side of the room.
Confused, I follow him and set down my tray.
