“What? You’re an adult now. You study at the college every day, so you can befriend whoever you want,” I said with my mouth full.

“That’s because you don’t know my parents. They won’t let me stay at the dorm. I can’t make any friends during classes. And as soon as I come out of the lecture hall, two scary- looking guards begin tailing me.
