Michelle Falkoff - Pushing Perfect

“What is it? You don’t like it?”

“It’s great,” I said. “I just need to sit down for a minute.”

“Oh, right,” she said. “It’s time.” She opened a drawer in her nightstand and pulled out a little baggie with a few mint-green pills in it. “Here’s the thing: it’s all going to be fine. I know you’re nervous, but think of it like a costume party. We’re just playing dress-up, and it’s all to help you with the test. It’s going to be okay.”

“I guess,” I said, but my head was still hurting.

“I promise,” she said, and handed me a pill. “You need water?”

“No, I’m good.” Was I really going to do this? Had I thought about all the pros and cons, the things that could go wrong? Maybe I hadn’t covered all of them, but I’d thought about them a lot. I always did. And where had that gotten me?

“Bottoms up,” she said, and swallowed hers.

I had nothing to lose. Nothing I cared about, anyway. I put the pill in my mouth and swallowed mine too.
