“I state matter-of-factly. “Oh hell, yes, you are, girl,” Tania retorts, just as matter-of-factly, as she digs through my closet, tossing clothes all over the floor. “You have nothing to wear tonight.” “I’ve already said that,” I point out to her, “and that’s why I’m not going!” The determination in Tania’s eye can’t be missed. She grabs my hand and drags me out of my house, ignoring my complaints. After hitting the Atlanta formal dress shops, we finally settle on a full-length go...wn with one long sleeve that covers my tattooed arm but leaves my other arm, shoulder, and back bare. It’s navy blue and silver sequins set on black silk with a thigh-high split in the front. It is exquisite with the matching heels. Tania and I go to our appointment with my hairdresser. I love the pink stripes in my hair. I got them because it helps get the kids at the youth center to trust me. But I was convinced, ahem strong-armed, by Tania to get them covered up and go all blond for the board announcement tonight. I still can’t believe this is really happening. I’ve dreaded this day for so long – being thrust into the limelight and having all my secrets dissected by the media. Being judged for something none of them really know the truth about and knowing that no one would even believe me if I told them. I know it’ll happen especially since Sam’s private investigator found those pictures of me. Whoever the private investigator got them from will undoubtedly make the connection and sell copies to the highest bidder. I hope I’ve found a private island to seclude myself on by then.MoreLessRead More Read Less
