  “Ow! Why in the world did I bring heels!” utters Alice, leaning against the wall as we climb up the stairs. Her hair is pinned up, her make-up impeccable. I look down at my own red, three-inch, suede ones. They stuck out from the black and white flats in the crowd. Carrying a briefcase and a backpack, everyone trudges to the different committee rooms. A nervous chatter fills the...
