Orange is for energy, pink means love, and I, Cassia Bernard, do solemnly swear to find pure red - my passion - this summer. Dad's raison d'être is art. When he's painting, no one can reach him, not even me.

I'm giving basketball a chance. But what I really want to score this summer is the adoration of Graham Hadley - a.k.a. Cutebutt. Then when Dad agrees to mentor Graham with his art project, all of Cutebutt's attention is on Dad - leaving me feeling as colorless as the Miami sky on a rainy day. But I'm not giving up just yet.
