Dancing With Myself: Like, Who Even Am I?

By Candy Powers

The summer before high school was supposed to last forever.

The summer of 1982 is fading like the last notes of a favorite song. For fourteen-year-old Candy P., it was a season of breathless games of manhunt, carefree nights of backyard volleyball, and the steady presence of friends who had been by her side since kindergarten. But as the August heat breaks, the needle drops on an unfamiliar track. While her crew heads to the local high school together, Candy P. is starting over at Wayside Academy - a private school where she knows no one. Trading her favorite worn-in Jordache jeans for a stiff plaid skirt, she enters a hallway of strangers with only "Save a Prayer" playing in her mind for company. Caught between the life she's leaving behind and a future she can't yet see, Candy P. must navigate a freshman year that feels like a blank tape. She's searching for a new rhythm in a place where she is invisible, and learning how to find her footing - even when she's dancing with herself.
