It was Friday morning. Ana hurried through her breakfast and then ran to get dressed. It was dark in her bedroom. She put on a dress and ran to say goodbye to her mom.
Her mother looked surprised, but Ana didn't have time to ask why. She got to the bus stop just in time to catch the school bus.
As she got on, she noticed her reflection (影像) in the window. "Oh, no!" she thought. "Whose dress is this? How did I put it on?" She went to sit with two of her friends at the back of the bus.
"Hi, Ana. What are you wearing?" asked Mel.
Ana looked down at her dress and said, "Well, you see…I was rushing because I was late and the room was still quite dark. It must be my mom's, I guess."
The dress was very bright. Dark colours like black, grey and dark blue were fashionable. It was sky blue. It had big orange flowers all over it.
"I can't go to school looking like this!" cried Ana.
"You have to, Ana. There's a math test, remember." said Susan.
When Ana walked into the classroom, Monica saw her and started laughing. Monica was the most popular girl in school and always dressed in the latest fashion.
"Hey, Ana, where did you get that?" She shouted and all the other kids turned to look at Ana.
The question made Ana angry. "In fact," Ana said, "I got it in the city. It's the new fashion. I'm surprised you didn't know that, Monica."
Monica didn't say anything else. And the class began.
When Ana went back home, she asked her mom about the dress. Her mother said with a smile, "It's an old dress I wore in the 1980s, long before you were born. That was the style back then."
"Well, it isn't the style now. Everyone laughed at me today. I'm never going to school again."
"I'm sorry you were embarrassed (尴尬的). But you have to go to school on Monday. No one will remember what you wore today."
On Monday morning, when Ana got to school, she noticed some girls were wearing brightly coloured dresses, including Monica.
