Her name was Connie . She was fifteen and she had a quick , nervous giggling habit of craning her neck to glance into mirrors or checking other people 's faces to make sure her own was all right . Her mother , who noticed everything and knew everything and who hadn 't much reason any longer to look at her own face , always scolded Connie about it "Stop gawking at yourself . Who are you ? You think you 're so pretty " she would say . Connie would raise her eyebrows at these familiar old complaints and look right

She had a high , breathless , amused voice that made everything she said sound a little forced , whether it was sincere or not .There was one good thing : June went places with girl friends of hers , girls who were just as plain and steady as she , and so when Connie wanted to do that her mother had no objections . The father of Connie 's best girl friend drove the girls the three miles to town and left them at a shopping plaza so they could walk through the stores or go to a movie , and when he came to pick them up again at eleven he never bothered to ask what they had done .They must have been familiar sights walking around the shopping plaza in their shorts and flat ballerina slippers that always scuffed the sidewalk , with charm bracelets jingling on their thin wrists they...
