Time to Shine (2012)
“Another C. I slump down in my chair, totally feeling dejected.
Gia pokes me in the side. “What’s wrong?”
“I got a C on my paper.”
“Oh.”
I watch Gia try to stealthily slip her paper in her binder without me seeing the gigantic A+ on top of it. I’m so not used to being average. I’ve always been stellar in everything I do, so I can’t get with these middle-of-the-road grades.
Professor Due gives us yet another writing assignment based on a selection from a Toni Morrison novel called A Mercy. I have... got to get an A on this one, for real.
After class is dismissed, Gia and I go over to meet Piper for lunch at the Manley Student Center. Mostly, we eat off campus, but this has got to be a quick lunch for me, because I have a stylist meeting me in my dorm with a boatload of clothes for the Grammys.
Piper is already here waiting for us. She smiles at us as we sit down, but I can’t bring myself to match her chip-perosity. I’m too bummed about my grade.
