Kanser
- It's the day of the talent show. It's all anyone can talk about at lunch, but Corinna hasn't decided whether or not she wants to go.
- When her friends say the word dancer, all Corinna can hear is cancer.
- She thinks back to April. By the time Sophie's doctor, Dr. Rothstein, found her cancer, it was too late—it had already spread through her body.
- Sophie did chemo at first, but after three months, she decided to stop. Corinna thought Dr. Rothstein seemed mad about it.
- Corinna's dad told her too much about the treatments. She didn't feel equipped to deal with all the adult information, and it made her feel even more separate from her friends than she already did.
- Back in the present moment, Joci's complaining about her own mom, who keeps bugging her and Juliette to keep their dance "appropriate."
- It stings that Joci would complain about her mom in front of someone who no longer has a mom to complain about.
