Since Miranda’s always been really good about calling us as soon as she got home from summer camp,
I was a little surprised when I didn’t hear from her. I even texted her and she didn’t reply.
I figured maybe she had ended up staying in the camp longer, now that she was a counselor. Maybe she met a cute guy.
Then I realized from her Facebook wall that she’d actually been back home for a full two weeks,
so I sent her an IM and we chatted online a bit, but she didn’t give me a reason for not calling, which I thought was bizarre.
Miranda had always been a little flaky, so I figured that’s all it was.
We made plans to meet downtown, but then I had to cancel because we were driving out to visit Tata and Poppa for the weekend.
So I ended up not seeing either Miranda or Ella until the first day of school. And, I have to admit, I was shocked.
Miranda looked so different: her hair was cut in this super-cute bob that she’d dyed bright pink, of all things,
and she was wearing a striped tube top that (a) seemed way inappropriate for school, and (b) was totally not her usual style.
