Excerpt
Sola pushed her fingers through her hair, trying desperately
to untangle the mess of curls bundled at the top of her head. She was late,
again, and only had enough time to shower, brush her teeth, and finger combed
her hair. She’d thrown on a teal green short-sleeved blouse outlined in black,
a pair of skinny jeans, and her most comfortable ballet slippers. There was a
small tour at work that day, and she’d decided to dress a bit more business
casual than usual.
She looked at the clock on her wall and groaned. “Damned
curls! You’re always getting tangled.” She winced as she tugged at them and
yanked her scalp.
In high school, her hair had been one of her best
features—wild and curly, with a touch of natural copper coloring. The boys
always wanted to run their hands through it, and the girls always wondered how
an African American mother and father could have possibly produced a
toffee-colored girl, with hazel eyes and natural golden highlights. Her mother
always said she looked like a young Minnie Gentry, but with a riot of curls on
her head. She loved to tell Sola that she had an untamed wildness to her beauty
that couldn’t be mimicked with any amount of makeup, but Sola didn’t know who
Minnie Gentry was, nor did she care about some untamed wildness.
The alarm on her phone beeped again, and Sola gave up with a
huff. She grabbed tangle-free hair band and her spray bottle of water. The
water would make detangling her curls easier, but the heat outside would cause
her hair to frizz later, but since time wasn’t on her side, she didn’t have a
choice. She was supposed to being giving a tour of the shipyard museum to some
middle school kids.
She always wondered who really cared about the shipyard.
Okay, yes it was where part of the popular horror film Jennifer’s Body was filmed,
but in the end the director, Karyn Kusama, cut the scenes that included the
shipyard, so what was everyone so excited to see?
It didn’t matter, though; working at Jesper Ship Yard was
the only way Sola could keep her tiny apartment without the direct help of her
parents.
After throwing her damp hair in a ponytail, she grabbed her
bag and headed out the door and down the stairs of her apartment complex.
