I put down my chopsticks. “What? What about
our debt?”
Ethan said, “The three of us can make money.
Do we need you?”

“Stay here. We’ll go to work.”
I nodded.
The food was eaten. They left.
I closed the door and turned on the TV.
An hour later, someone was at the door.
I opened the door and saw the collectors.

I could get my company back.
A year later, the company went back to

I went back to school.
After graduating high school, I went to a
university.
I could go to school and run the company.
My three roommates were flattering me.
“When are you going to let us drive your

“Ashley, are you thirsty? Can I bring you
lunch?”
I glared at them.
I had a lot of money.
