Seeing the light…
It’s the most exciting day of Jessica’s life--Aaron Dallas has asked her out! Nothing could ruin Jessica’s wonderful mood--except the fact that she has to start wearing glasses. Jessica is convinced the Unicorns will drop her the second they see her. And Aaron will surely change his mind about their date.
For Jessica there is just one solution - she’ll never leave her room again! How can Elizabeth help her sister realize that wearing glasses is definitely not a tragedy?
"Four Eyes?" and No Friends?
Elizabeth opened the door. Jessica was lying on her bed with her face buried in a pillow. Slowly, she turned her head to look at Elizabeth. Her face was red and splotchy from crying.
"Jessica," Elizabeth said gently, joining her on the bed, "don’t you think you’re overreacting a little?"
Jessica sniffed loudly. "That’s easy for you to say. You won’t have to look like the biggest nerd in the universe." She rolled over onto her back. "Elizabeth, what will Aaron think if I show up at school on Tuesday wearing glasses?"
"If he stops liking you just because you’re wearing glasses, then he’s not worth your time to begin with," Elizabeth said logically.
"But I…I really like Aaron, Elizabeth."
