The tail

julie immediately slipped on her new pants the moment she got out of bed. still in her pajama top, she strutted in front of the mirror. they were just like michelle’s, the prettiest girl in the seventh grade. she stuck one leg out to admire the way they fit her own leg. denise is going to be so jealous, she thought.
at breakfast she showed her mom three tops that went with the new pants. her mom picked the yellow one and suggested she comb her hair back. “and take those studs out and wear something that dangles,” julie’s mom called after her as she went back to her room to change.
waiting for the school bus, julie’s friend lola complimented her on her outfit. “where’d you get those earrings? ” she asked.
before julie could answer, derek, lola’s ninth-grade brother, came up behind her and thumped one of her earrings. “got a hot date today? ” he teased her.
julie thought derek was cute, but he always treated her like she was his little sister, too. at least he noticed my outfit, she thought.
lola rolled her eyes. “like you’d know what a hot date was,” she said.
in the halls before class, all julie’s friends complimented her, and she gleamed, enjoying every word. at lunch, she went in the restroom. several of the popular eighth graders were in there, and they made a point of ignoring her. julie went in one of the stalls, and when she came out, unknown to her, a long piece of toilet paper was stuck to the bottom of her shoe.
as she walked toward the cafeteria, several of the boys snickered. that’s odd, she thought, but she just ignored them. the same eighth grade girls she had seen in the restroom turned away, laughing. suddenly derek rushed up behind her and said, “you seem to have grown a tail since this morning. it doesn’t really go with your outfit.”
when julie turned around, she glimpsed the toilet paper and blushed. as she reached down to pull it off, derek put his foot on the tail and pulled it off her shoe.
“, derek,” julie said. “i can’t believe those other kids didn’t tell me.”
he winked at her. “what are friends for? let’s have lunch."
