“I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!” I MOANED TO MYSELF.

　　Every item of clothing I owned was strewn across my bed; my drawers and closets were bare. I staredinto the empty recesses², willing something suitable to appear.

　　My khaki skirt lay over the back of the rocking chair, waiting for me to discover something that went withit just exactly right. Something that would make me look beautiful and grown up. Something that said specialoccasion. I was coming up empty.

　　It was almost time to go, and I was still wearing my favorite old sweats. Unless I could find somethingbetter here — and the odds³ weren’t looking good at this point — I was going to graduate in them.

　　I scowled⁴ at the pile of clothes on my bed.

　　The kicker was that I knew exactly what I would have worn if it were still available — my kidnapped redblouse. I punched the wall with my good hand.

　　“Stupid, thieving, annoying vampire⁵!” I growled⁶.

　　“What did I do?” Alice demanded.

　　She was leaning casually⁷ beside the open window as if she’d been there the whole time.

　　“Knock, knock,” she added with a grin.

　　“Is it really so hard to wait for me to get the door?”

　　She threw a flat, white box onto my bed. “I’m just passing through. I thought you might need something towear.”

　　I looked at the big package lying on top of my unsatisfying wardrobe and grimaced⁸.

　　“Admit it,” Alice said. “I’m a lifesaver.”

　　“You’re a lifesaver,” I muttered. “Thanks.”

　　“Well, it’s nice to get something right for a change. You don’t know how irritating it is — missing thingsthe way I have been. I feel so useless. So . . . normal.” She cringed in horror of the word.

　　“I can’t imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal? Ugh.”

　　She laughed. “Well, at least this makes up for missing your annoying thief — now I just have to figure outwhat I’m not seeing in Seattle.”
