“Were you cavorting with that trashy farm-girl?” Mom walked over and sniffed me. “Ugh. You stink like a pig.”

“Who cares where I was?” I got up and went to leave.

“Hear me now, Henry Charles, you are to stay away from that trash.”

“She’s not trash!”

“I see.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “Youwerethere. If you had a tumble in the hay with her that’s one thing. But she’s not in our class.”

“What?” I threw my hands up. “Humans are humans.”

“No they are not.” She sneered. “You were born to a better class, and you are expected to act as such!”

“Dad?!”

“Margaret, he can date…”

“Absolutely not!” She slammed her hands on the table. “You are dating Victoria.”

“I’m gonna break up with her.” I shrugged.

“The hell you are.”

“Margaret, really?” Dad shook his head.

“Thomas, go and drink somewhere else.” She waved him off and walked closer to me. “I will not have you wallowing in the pigsty with trash. You know I have the means to make your life hell, so I suggest you listen.”

I hate you.

“Fine.” I snarled back at her and stormed off.

I didn’t get control of my bank account until I turned eighteen, so until then I was fucked.

Storming through the house, I went up to my room and slammed the door.

I must’ve fallen asleep at some point, because my alarm was going off for school. Getting up, I showered and got clean clothes on before heading over to Miranda’s to get Sophie.

She left a note for me on how to load her up and the smaller goat really seemed to like me, unlike her big buddy. I offered her an apple slice, and she followed me to my car and hopped in.

On the drive to the school, I kept feeding her apple slices, and when we arrived, I saw Victoria walking towards my car.

“What are you doing here?”

“Helping you.” She smiled. “Isn’t that what girlfriends are for?”

I felt my eyes narrow. “How did you know I was doing this?”

She gave a small shrug. “Dexter told me.”

“Whatever.” I coaxed Sophie from the car. “I wanted to talk to you, anyway.”

“Your mom and I had a long talk last night.”

“I know.”

“She wasn’t happy to hear about you and Miranda.” She tisked.

“How?” I held the rope for the goat.
