I Won't Wear it

we got new red shirts from the PTA on Monday It was comfy, so I wore it to school on Tuesday. Then I texted McBride, my bestie. Wear your new red shirt, I said, we can be twins. She texted back “Do not wear that shirt! It is for the birthday celebration in September!” “Too late,” I replied. “I am at school.” I get there two hours before most of the others. She texted me “change that shirt!” After peeking into my closets I saw all my shirts are long-sleeved. The heat index yesterday was a hundred and ten. She called me and asked what slacks I was wearing. I said “I am wearing denim blue pedal pushers.” This is old-school talk for “capris”. She said “I am bringing you a shirt!” “I won’t wear it!” I told her. When she arrived she made me pull it out of the bag. It was ALL of my favorite neon colors! pinks, greens, oranges, yellows, reds. I whipped my red shirt off and handed it to her.
