Chapter 3
The guys‘ smiles disappeared, and they gave
me a good, long look.
I glared at Tiffany, turning back to the driver
and saying, “My sister’s all about that fake
lifestyle, with her fancy white skin, and her fake
nails, and her ears, those are real Cartier
earings, worth 70 thousand dollars! Does that
sound poor to you? If her parents didn’t adore
her, would they pay for her SUV?”
Yeah, she spent a little on her nails, but those

earrings were straight from China.

But I wasn’t worried that these guys would be
able to tell.
Sure enough, after a quick look, the guys
started glowering at Tiffany.
“She’s lying,” Tiffany cried, and shook her head desperately.
Before she could say another word, I jumped in. “Guys, I’ll show you”
I showed them Tiffany’s Instagram.
An hour earlier, she posted a video of herself
speeding through the dunes, saying, “I’m loving
my new car.”
The guys looked from the phone to Tiffany,
their faces darkening.

Tiffany started shaking, rushing to hit me, but I shoved her away.
I pocketed my phone, the voice recorder running.
“Tiffany, if you don’t want to leave with them, the squad should be here soon, they won’t force you to go anywhere.”
Saying the word ‘squad‘ made them nervous.
They said, “Are you coming or not? Otherwise we’re gone.”
Tiffany said, “I’m not leaving without you.”
I said, “Then don’t go. Why are you acting like this? It’s not a good idea for a young girl to go with them. Tiffany, stay with me, what would Mom and Dad think? They would blame me, I can’t be so irresponsible. I’ll call Mom right now,

Tiffany started freaking out, pulling her arm free
and glaring.
“I’m begging you, don’t call them! I’m going, no
matter what. And you, why don’t you have a
boyfriend? You’re so uptight, what a joke!” •
I said, “It’s your choice, no? I’m sure you’re
ready to be responsible for the consequences.”
Before she could open the door, I shouted,
“Wait! Have you even had a boyfriend?”
She turned, smiling smugly.
“I went to college for three years, and I’ve had
30 different boyfriends. Do you know what it’s
like to date so many different people? You
probably don’t change positions during sex, do
you? I’m going to enjoy myself, you can keep
your virginity forever.”
Wow.

I stopped the recording.
I hope her parents are proud.
The door closed, the truck sped away.
I ran to the fridge and grabbed the blood bags.
