“Getting into a third–rate college would be a miracle for someone like you.
“So what’s the point of moving to an expensive place? That would just be a waste of money.”
Bonnie smiled confidently. “I told you I could get Into Pyralls University, didn’t I?”
Vera felt a little guilty about what she had just said, but she was also starting to feel annoyed as she thought that Bonnie was bragging again.

“Come back!” Vera shouted after her. “Do you hear me, Bonnie? Get your ass back here. If you don’t, I’ll never pay your rent!”
