CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR ~Alina

"So, we were asked at school today to start applying to our various desired colleges and to also have backup and backup's backup in mind. I for one told them in class that it is NYU or nothing. Besides, our parents joining force together, they can never say no." Kourtney says.

"Don't be so confident." Chanel tells her. "My parents do not give a damn about me anymore these days so I doubt they will want to help. They are both caught up in their own sadness. Let us just do as we were told and apply."

"Chanel is right. If they want to help us after now, then good. If they do not want to help, at least we will know we tried with our own strength. What college do you want to attend, Tobi?" the ever loving and ever gracious Siobhan speaks up.

The new girl shrugs. "I don't know. I haven't really thought about college before now." Pfft! What a joke. I roll my eyes at that.
