Not a Good Look (2010)
“my mother says as soon as Dreya and I walk through the door of our Atlanta home from the promo tour.
Her eyes are wide as saucers as she tells me this, like she just walked in on her own surprise birthday party. I just stare at her with a confused frown on my face. I’m completely incoherent from lack of sleep.
The bus ride from New York City to Atlanta took two days total. We stopped overnight in Tennessee, but I still feel like I haven’t slept at all. It’s a good thing tomorrow is Saturday and... I don’t have to get up for school, because I would be a total zombie.
But my mother is standing here talking about a piece of mail. I don’t know what letter I could be getting that would make her even look all big-eyed like that.
Oh, my God!!!
“Is it my letter from Spelman? Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!”
Dreya shakes her head and rolls her eyes. “I’m going to bed. Y’all corny.”
“’Bye, hater.”
My mother hands me the letter, which looks frayed and worn but not opened.
