Monday started with a headache. I was explaining just how much when Vincent joined Callie and me for lunch.

“I really don't know why my stepmom wants to do dinner tonight.” I groaned.

“Hopefully not to set you up on a date again,” Callie mused.

“What’s going on?” Vincent let his confusion show.

“Stepmom wants everyone home for dinner. She didn’t give a why, but it’s usually something stupid when she tries to wrangle me back home,” I explained.

“Wasn’t last time to try and set you up with Ethan?” Callie tried to recall.

“I think that was the time before… Anyway I’m pretty sure I made it clear I am not to be set up. Though when have they actually listened…” I sighed loudly.

“Can’t recall a time.” Callie shrugged, gathering up her things. “Keep me updated.”

“As always.” I waved her off.

“This sort of thing happens often?” Vincent continued to try and figure out what was going on.

“Every couple of months. It usually involves some sort of event I need to go to, so stepmother looks like she has a wonderfully loving family or something about connection building, and on occasion trying to set up dates for me with someone that’s family approved. I’ll suffer through events, but I’m done with this match making crap.”

“I’m glad you’re working on getting away. They don’t seem to have any respect for you.” Vincent seemed angry on my behalf.

“They don’t and they never will. I just hope I’m in a good spot to apply elsewhere for fall semester but really, it’ll be tough with all the random expenses that keep piling up.”

“Well, I was going to show you this later, but I think you’d like to see it more now.” Vincent replied as he scrolled through his phone. “Here it is.” He passed over his phone.

He was right, I had to smile at the article but it wasn’t the first time this had been proposed. Free school to students in good standing. Students with less than a 3.0 would need to pay some, but it was way better than now. Applying to get into schools was much the same, but still. A chance to go anywhere.

“Hopefully they actually pass it this time around. Even if they did, it wouldn’t take effect until next year.” The truth sucked.

“I think there’s a good chance. It’s a much better bill, and has a lot of important people supporting it.” Vincent’s excitement didn’t diminish.

“Guess we’ll see then. Doesn’t fix much of the now problems though.” I wish I could be more optimistic, but it was just too hard.

“I bet there’s a lot of good things in your future.” Vincent nudged me.

“Oh? What makes you say that? I’m pretty sure the immediate future is going to involve another fight with my stepmom and probably a very lousy argument with Di. I doubt I’ll get home without a headache.”

“Well, miss grumpy barista, there’s still plenty of time this year for things to go right. I’m going to keep betting that they will. Even if tonight isn’t one of them.
