SHE IS TENSE

She is tense... Today is the day she fills out the prerequisite form. Name, age, financial and social status, relationships with school system A conference of Board members. Yes, she is accepted - for the time being. She is tense... Today is the day for the scrutinization of clothes, make-up jewellery. Again the Big Four sit in a circle, heads close together. Low mutterings are audible. Yes, she is accepted - for the time being. She is tense... Today is the day of the social outing in their company. Will she choke on her first cigarette? Shoutd she drink? A conference this time of all of them.

Yes. She is an accepted member. For the first time she is relaxed.

But is it worth it? The worry, anxiety, concern: Just to find she's lost all freedom, alt individuality. Kerrin Briant (11. Gr)
