I hadn't had a single moment of wakefulness from the time my head hit my pillow until my mother shook me awake the next morning. I didn't hear Krista come in the night before and, as it turned out, I hadn't heard her leave for school the next morning either. When I pulled my head out from under the pillow I saw immediately that the light was wrong for early morning. "What time is it?" I asked mom."It's almost ten thirty. I didn't see any point in waking you before we were able to get you enrolled. Mother was able to do it over the phone. I think that even if they didn't offer that service they would have started on the spot. You know how she can be when she doesn't get her way." "I really wanted someone to wake me up before Krista left. It would have been nice to meet her and find out what the kids wear here. It's hard enough to be the girl who's never been to public school before, but now I also get to be the one who wears stupid clothes."Mom smiled faintly.
