“I’d rather let Edward Scissorhands give me a manicure.” My eyelids
drooped. I threw the car into park, thanking God I was finally there. Outside
my driver’s side window, the bright and shiny brass sixty-six on the front of
the house glinted in the afternoon sun.
“Now who’s being dramatic? You two used to be so close.”
“Who has a two-year class reunion?” I gathered up my road snacks from
the passenger seat and shoved them into my frayed and battered, better-thannothing tote bag. Mom had kept trying to convince me to buy a grown-up
purse over the summer, but what good was a purse if you didn’t have any
money to put into it once you bought it?
“She was your best friend for seventeen years.”
“Things change, Mom, and Alyssa has always done what’s best for
Alyssa.” Like my ex-boyfriend. “So, I’m more than happy to not go. Plus,
depending on how things go with the Huffington Award, I might not even be
in the country when it rolls around.”
She let out the long-suffering sigh reserved specifically for moms with
difficult children. “I know you’ve worked so hard for that, but I just don’t
want you to lose touch with people who used to be so important in your life.”
“Some people aren’t worth having around, Mom. Not everyone is as
awesome as you.”
Her soft snort made me smile. “By the way, we’ll get you the money for
your tuition on the first of the month. You know how hard it’s been.”
“I’m glad I could help.” The money I’d saved all last year for my tuition
had gone to the late mortgage payments to stave off foreclosure on the house.
“Thanks, sweetie.” It had taken us several weeks to convince my dad to
take the money. If it saved the house, it was worth it, but that meant things
would be tight—real tight.
The loan situation was a touchy topic. Apparently, bad credit and no
credit were the best way to end up with not many options when it came to
paying for college. My first two years had been paid for with scholarships,
last semester I’d maxed out my student loans—which were racking up
interest by the day—and now I was winging it.
“How’s the hair holding up?”
I pulled a handful of my electric pink locks over my shoulder. “It’s very
pink.”
“They don’t call it Day-Glo pink for nothing. It’ll last so long your
grandkids will come out with pink hair.” She laughed.
“Awesome. I need to get unpacked and then I’m off to the tutoring
center.”
“Honey, you’re doing great work, but you need to make sure you’re
taking time for yourself. You’ve only got two years left, and they’ll be over
in a blink. At least try to enjoy them.”
