Justine s full-length mirror was magical. We weren t sure if it was the way it hung on the wall, or the specific tint of the glass. Sometimes we thought the floor in her room was uneven and that was what caused it. It s not like we spent forever trying to figure out why we looked great in it; we were just grateful that we did.
Okay, go sit, she instructed. Because people always check themselves out in a full-length so they know how an outfit works standing up. But you may spend a lot of time sitting at this party. I don t know. We need to get all perspectives.
Right. I moved over to her desk chair. Like this?
Sit more on the edge, she insisted. People always sit on the edge of chairs at parties.
They do? I squinted and readjusted myself.
She stood back with a finger on her lip. Perfect. You look so good in navy. Also, terry is so sensible because, I don t know, you may need to use it to dry off. Will Adia really have towels for all of us? She paused and I wasn t sure if she was asking me or just thinking out loud. She walked over and tousled my hair. I think you have your summer-blond highlights already, and it s only June. Go you.
Yeah? I stood up and went back to the mirror to check out my hair.
Definitely. She put an arm around me, and we admired ourselves. We re hot, what can I say?
I laughed. Yeah, right.
Okay, my turn, Justine said, walking over to her closet.
I kicked off my flip-flops and leaned back on her bed. I turned up the playlist--a mix of current

favorites and old classics--we d made for the end of school.
Hey, where did we go? Justine sang with her back to me as she wriggled into the lacey white cover-up. Days when the rains came?
She slipped her feet into her black platform flip-flops and turned around. So?
Love. One hundred percent love, I said.
Come on. She glared, pulling her brown curls back into a low ponytail. Really? You can t mean that.
I can, I defended myself. I love it. Your legs look super toned and, like, tan already, and the cover-up is subtle enough to be a cute sundress. But also not like over-the-top look at me, I m in a dress. Ya know?
Promise? She stared at herself in the mirror.
I walked over to her. Promise.
Was the bathing suit okay? she asked, grabbing a lip color from her vanity table and testing it out. I followed her over there to do the same. I mean, it s just plain black. So whatevs. But it s not mom-ish, right?
Definitely not mom-ish. I pursed my lips, trying on a lip gloss. How s this color?
Go a little redder. She handed me another tube. This one ll be good.
I tried it, and she nodded in approval.
Can we go? I asked. The longer we wait, the more nervous I get.
Well, it s still really early, and we definitely can t be the first ones there. She plopped down on her window seat. &ldqu
