Spirit Week Showdown (2015)
““All those trophies are from pageants and beauty contests that I’ve won,” says Connie.
I stand and stare at the mantel again. “What? No way!”
She keeps talking. “I went to the same private school as Naomi. My parents don’t have a lot of money, and private school is expensive. But my grades were good enough to get a scholarship. It paid for all of my classes, meals, everything. The private school has an art program, and as you probably guessed, I love art.”
“And you’re really good at it, Connie. That art room is amazing.”
“Drawing helps me say things when I can’t find the right words. So that school was perfect for me. The only thing I had to do to keep my scholarship was make good grades and stay out of trouble. No problem.”
I sit back down and stare at her. Five days ago, I would never have believed that Connie Tate was not a troublemaker, and I wouldn’t be caught dead sitting in her living room. But now, I’ve got a feeling she’s about to unload some hair-raising, heavy-duty truth on... me, and I’ve made a promise not to repeat it.MoreLess
