past vs The future
In the present Lily is now 18. She wants to go to college but ever since the incident at her 15th birthday party her parents are scared. They refuse to let her go because it is not safe. Lily and her parents get into an argument.
Lily’s mom
"I want you to be safe. I can let you go to college cause you will get hurt."
Lily
"I am going to college dad, tell mom I am going to college right dad ."
Lily’s dad
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with your mother that you will get hurt. Has your 15th birthday party taught you nothing?"
Lily’s mom
" The real world is a dangerous place and I don't want anything bad to happen to you. We can get you a tutor or a private teacher but you can't go to college."
Lily’s dad
" You know what no fair seeing you almost died at 15 from one of your best friends trying to stab you to death you lost one of your eyes."
Lily
" It was not my fault!"
Lily’s mom
" You never learn from your mistakes. That's what parties like that are for. You can learn from what your friend did and learn from it."
Lily
" It don't like that."
Lily’s mom
" Besides you want to go to college and I can't stand in the way of you learning. I don’t want you killed for something that you don't understand. I can give you other options."
Lily
" Fine. I will not tell anyone I am from a rich family. I am still going to college even if I have to work part-time for a living."
Lily’s dad
" Fine. Let us leave it at that. But let's just say no one knows about your family's wealth. "
Lily’s mom
" fine, you can go to college. "
Lily
" Thank you so much."
Lily’s mom
" You are welcome. but you also have to have a bodyguard with you at all times."
Lily’s mom
" I said you have to have a bodyguard. "
Lily
"But won't that make people think I'm from a rich family."
Lily’s dad
" Not if people don't know the person is your bodyguard and think they are your best friend."
