There would be other dances. But she might never get another opportunity to be a guest judge on Fashion Showdown. \u201cOkay, I\u2019m going to New York,\u201d she said. \u201cBut you have to promise to take tons of pictures, okay? And tell me everything!\u201d \u201cWe will,\u201d Priti promised. \u201cAnd you have to tell us everything about being on Fashion Showdown,\u201d Libby said. \u201cI will,\u201d Zoey said with a grin. \u201cAll the juicy details.\u201d After school, Zoey headed to Marcus\u2019s room to see if he could give her a ride to A Stitch in Time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure\u2014just give me a few minutes to finish up this problem,\u201d he said, not looking up from his homework. While she was waiting for Marcus, Zoey experimented with sketches for her idea. She wanted to make the same thing for all her friends, but have each one match her friends\u2019 dresses and personalities. \u201cSo what\u2019s today\u2019s fashion emergency?\u201d Marcus asked on the way to the store. Zoey explained how she\u2019d been thinking of bailing on Fashion Showdown and how her awesome friends made her realize she had to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoa! I\u2019m glad the crew talked you out of it,\u201d Marcus said. \u201cYou love this stuff, Zo. You light up the minute you start talking dresses and design with Aunt Lulu. It\u2019s like music for me\u2014or sports for Dad.\u201d \u201cI know. . . . Anyway, I want to make something special for Priti, Libby, and Kate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got an idea and I\u2019m hoping Jan can help me with it.\u201d \u201cWell, here we are,\u201d Marcus said, pulling into a parking space. \u201cI\u2019m going to get coffee at Roast. Meet me there when you\u2019re done.\u201d \u201cHi, Zoey!\u201d Jan greeted her from behind the big counter in the middle of the store. \u201cWhat brings you here today?\u201d<\/p>\n

– – – – Chapter 1 – – – – To Thine Own Self Be . . . Blue? When I thought seventh grade would be so much better than sixth grade, I forgot that CERTAIN PEOPLE\u2014mainly one certain person\u2014would still think their job is to make life at Mapleton Prep difficult. Everyone always says you just have to ignore those people, but it\u2019s not easy, because they\u2019re in school every day.<\/p>\n

When I feel blue about it, Dad says I should follow Shakespeare\u2019s advice and \u201cAbove all, to thine own self be true,\u201d which is a fancy way of telling me to be myself and stop caring so much what everyone else thinks. It\u2019s easy for him to say\u2014he\u2019s not in middle school. Speaking of being true to yourself, Aunt Lulu took me to see a Frida Kahlo exhibit at the art museum over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Frida\u2019s life was so sad, but her art . . . WOW! It jumped off the walls and hit you in the face, as if it was saying, \u201cThis is me. Deal with it!\u201d For a person who was often in pain, her paintings were bursting with energy. Anyway, what I loved the most was that her self-portraits showed off her style: She mixed and matched bright colors, paired embroidered square tunics with lace-trimmed skirts, and wore flowers or ribbons in her hair (which kind of made it look like she was wearing a crown, at least to me.)<\/p>\n

I loved it all and would give just about anything to go shopping in her closet. And I totally want to wear flowers in my hair from now on. I did a sketch of a few outfits inspired by Frida\u2019s wardrobe with a silk flower, lace, and tons of embroidery. Maybe it seems like too much, but if I make it, I\u2019ll just wear it with confidence like Frida did. I also want to go to Mexico someday to visit Frida Kahlo\u2019s house, La Casa Azul.<\/p>\n

There are so many places I want to go! But the only place I can go right now is to bed. Dad just shouted, \u201cLights out!\u201d since it\u2019s a school night. Feeling less blue already! Thanks for listening. xo, Zoey \u201cI think you\u2019re going to love this one,\u201d Ms. Brown said, winking at Zoey Webber as she handed her a copy of what the class was going to read next.<\/p>\n

Zoey turned the book over. When she saw the title, The Misfits, her heart sank. English was her favorite class and her teacher, Ms. Brown, seemed to really understand her. Did Ms. Brown think she was a misfit? Not that she wanted to be just like everyone else, but .<\/p>\n

. . \u201cmisfit\u201d implied there was something wrong with her, like she was an odd piece in a puzzle that would otherwise fit together perfectly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
