Fashion Disaster That Changed My Life Splashproof Edition

Lauren Myracle writes: "Oh, man-seventh grade was hard. I just remember living in a constant state of embarrassment. Like on my birthday, when my three best friends baked me a special cake and presented it to me in the cafeteria with the whole grade looking on. They'd decorated the cake with a heart made out of M and M's, and in the middle of the heart they'd spelled out L.M. + M.M. There was only one M.M. in my class: Mark Malaspina, whom I had a raging crush on. A raging and very private crush-until that moment! "Alli doesn't experience that particular form of humiliation, but what she goes through is even worse. Poor girl. Alli, forgive me for putting you through so much!" Lauren Myracle received a master of fine arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College. She lives in Colorado with her husband and two sons, who one day will be in seventh grade themselves. (Her sons, not her husband.)
