Question

Read the passage from "The Quinceanera.”

So there I was at the jewelry counter in Ferguson’s department store, surrounded by stroller-driving moms and crying babies. I had to hurry. Maritza’s party was tonight and, more importantly, I was meeting my friends at the movies at 1:00. It would be the only part of the day I would actually get to enjoy, and I was really looking forward to it.
