"What?" I asked Mandy, who had been glancing at me without blinking, feeling embarrassed for me, only to see her look away and shake her head in disappointment.
"Mandy, don't act like you never borrowed money from Dan or Pam's purse without their knowledge, ever, or enjoyed the thrill of shoplifting? That's like a rite of passage for every rebellious teenage girl," I remarked, finding Mandy judging me.
"What do you think my life is, a slice of life anime or a coming of age rom-com?" Mandy said, rolling her eyes at me as she got out of the pool with Janice's help and used the towel to cover her wet sundress.
"Says the girl who dyed her hair blonde after barely managing to graduate high school," I commented, still curious about what got Mandy to go blonde. She looked great, but it was a huge change to make suddenly. One doesn't just wake up and decide to go blonde. I wondered what made her take that step.
