How to Be a Perfect Girl
“Mom yelled, “If we don’t leave soon we’ll miss the midmorning service, and the next one’s not till noon! Please don’t make me come get you out of bed!”
Val groaned; she wanted to keep sleeping.
Not because she was tired, but because she was not looking forward to going to her new church; Stonebrook had its own Methodist church, and Val knew she’d run into at least one of her classmates there. She pulled the covers back, checking her alarm clock as she did: it read 9:52am. Val walked over to her... closet; she retrieved a black dress that had fallen from its hanger. It was rumpled, but Val set it down on the bed.
A quick shower later, Val returned to her room to put on some light makeup. It felt strange to use the vanity in her room instead of trekking back to the bathroom with her kit; in her old house she hadn’t had a mirror of her own, but her new room had mirrors to spare. In addition to the new vanity that Dad had bought for her just yesterday, her closet doors were covered with polished glass so that Val could check how different outfits looked as she changed.MoreLess
