Mirror Test
Amara stepped into the school hallway and froze mid-step.Three girls.Three.Wearing the exact same outfit.Silver hoops,oversized jacket,even the same braid pattern she had posted online last weekend.Her jaw tightened."Wow",she muttered under her breath."Creative".Lila,her best friend,nudged her."Okay...that's weird.Even for you.""Flattering?"Amara said,forcing a smile."Flattering is one person copying you not three,"Lila muttered,rolling her eyes.As she walked to class,whispers trailed behind her:"Isn't that her outfit""Did she post that braid on insta?""She looks...different when she is mad."Different.Compliments didnt feel like compliments today.They felt like warnings.
