Leaving

[Lily Teirm]

Lily put her suitcase in the car, her parents watching. "You know, we could have gotten you a much nicer car."Her father commented. "I know Dad, but I like volkswagons. It's cute."
"And it looks like we can't afford another nice car."
"Dad, remember what happened at my last school? I'm not going to advertise that we're wealthy."
"That was different. We were the only wealthy ones."
"Dad."
"Okay, okay. Now are you sure you want to live in a dorm?"
"Yes, I want to fit in. Not stand out."
"What matters is doing well in school."Her mother commented.
"I know Mom, but I'm living in a dorm, and that's final."
"I don't agree with it."
"I know, I know. But it's my life. Stop trying to run it."
"Lily."Her dad warned.
"It's the truth. You guys won't let me live the life I want. Now please, let me make my own decisions."
"Alright honey, if that's what you want."
"It is Mom."
Lily hugged her parents goodbye, and they hugged her back.
"Be careful sweetheart."
"Mom."
"Sorry, be careful Lily."
"I will."Lily got in the car, and drove off.
