Calix was seething with frustration as he learned about Josefina's past. "It's all their fault for messing up my sister's grades!"

The three of them sat hunched over their computers, resolute in their decision to keep Josefina's scores under wraps. They even stashed her admission ticket away, fearing she would get upset if she discovered her marks.

Josefina sat at the dining table, nibbling on a sandwich, while Hattie, Garrett, and Calix kept piling more delectable treats onto her plate.

"Come on, dig in, you guys. I'm already pretty stuffed," Josefina protested.

Hattie chuckled, "Josie, honey. Why don't you join Mom on a trip to the mall later? The gown I ordered for you has arrived. You should try it on to see if it fits just right."

Garrett chimed in, "Yeah, your mom went all out and got it custom-made just for you, Josie! One of a kind in the whole world!"

Josefina felt a twinge of irony. She had crafted that very gown herself.

Hattie carried on, "I treated myself to a little something, too. We can go try them on together. What do you say?"

Josefina nodded, "Sure."
