Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

The morning after, Lena was taken aback when she heard that Josefina was heading off to work at the company. "Working? Aren't you fresh out of your final exams? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" With a chuckle, Hattie explained, "Well, Josie said she was itching to get busy and feeling antsy without earning her own keep. We figured we'd grant her some assets, so she's off to check on one of her businesses today."

Finishing her last bite of a sunny-side-up egg, Josefina's eyes twinkled playfully. "Aren't you supposed to be in school? I thought you were about my age. Even though I started a year late, you should be a freshman in college by now, right?"

Lifting her chin with pride, Lena declared, "I may have started school a year ahead of you, but I'm already a sophomore. Plus, with my knack for medicine, I'm attending med school and have already begun my hospital internship." Still, Lena would have to return to school once her internship was up.

Josefina, amused by Lena's haughty demeanor, complimented her, "Wow, you're impressive."

Garrett was ridden with guilt, and lamented, "If Josie hadn't been switched at birth, she wouldn't have had to delay her exams till this year. Sweetheart, got any colleges you're fond of? Wherever you wish to go I'll make sure you get in."
