I already know that today may not be a good day. But I’ve made up my mind. I’ve got to tell Connie the truth. She’s got to know what I did, even if I have to ask someone else to tell her. And I’ve already figured out who can do that for me. There’s a really good reason why I’m not wearing braids today. It’s better for my hair to hang down and be free, loose, like animal hair. I tie the bandanna made out of fake leopard skin around my head. My pants are made out of the same leopard-skin material, and they have big belt loops so I can hook my rodeo rope on them. Last night I made two bracelets with green and black beads. It’s time to put them on. As I stare into the mirror, my big guardian wings, covered with the same material as my bandanna and my pants, give me courage and make this costume worth a thousand Spirit Week points. This is the best outfit Mom’s ever made. But right now, I need to switch from the scared me to the brave me. If I’m going to be a superhero, I need to start by telling Connie the truth, and I’ve failed twice.
What do You think about Spirit Week Showdown (2015)?
