Chapter 2

I START TO put my long-term plan into action Monday. Mom is still letting me drive the Mercedes, mostly because she doesn’t want to take me to school — and she actually said it’s because she doesn’t want to “be alone with a whore,” which hurt like a bitch — so I leave during lunch and drive about a hundred miles to Stevens, the nearest big town.

I find the same bank branch where my account is and I go in, heart pounding. The town isn’t far enough away to not be recognized — hell, my face is all over the freaking internet — but at least not everyone in this much larger town knows me.

Still, to be on the safe side, I have my very recognizable long white-blonde hair tucked up in a beanie and I’m wearing a crap ton of makeup, which I never do.

Thankfully, no one even glances my way.

I give a fake name for the appointment. The last thing I need is “Bethany Hanson, the whore who got the winning Coach Penn fired” announced across the bank.

Okay, it is possible that I’m getting more paranoid, but it’s not unreasonable, considering.

I almost miss it when the woman calls “Barbie Bradford,” the name I gave in honor of one of my favorite fiction authors, Barbara Taylor Bradford. I finally jump up when I realize it’s me she’s calling and follow the tall redhead to her office.

“I’m Rayanne Benavidez. What can I help you with today?” she asks as we sit.

I hug my purse in my lap. “Um, I need to transfer my money to a new account.” I don’t want my mom suddenly remembering she gave money to the whore living in her house and take it back.

Yeah, I know, I’m bitter. What can I say?

Rayanne gives me a smile that’s a little condescending. I figure she thinks I’ve got like a hundred bucks or something, like most kids my age would have. She’s going to be in for a surprise.

I hand her my account documents and my license. She clicks away on her keyboard with her bright orange fingernails while I watch for her reaction. I smirk when her eyes widen, and then she frowns, types on the keyboard again. I know she’s double-checking the numbers.

Her attitude changes considerably when she realizes she’s not dealing with just small bucks. I almost laugh when she asks me if I’d like some coffee or a soft drink. I missed lunch and I’m hungry, not thirsty.

Rayanne tells me that I don’t need to open a new account, but that I can simply remove my mother from the existing one, since I’m now eighteen. Mom won’t have access to the account at all. Awesome.

I feel a little guilty that it’s my mom’s inheritance and all, but I shrug that feeling right the hell off. She gave it to me in good faith. And with absolutely no faith at all, she turned her back on her only daughter. The daughter who has done nothing wrong and who needs her mother now more than ever.
