Born to wealth, this set of sisters were protected through the early years of their life. They could get what they wanted, but this had very different effects on the two girls. CariDee, the older sister, grew to become popular and spoiled, while Tiffany, the younger sister, grew to become a hippie-like person.
As the years went on, CariDee bought expensive bags, and Tiffany saved trees. Their parents appreciated CariDee and shook their heads at Tiffany, but as long as both girls did well in school, they accepted it. The girls also managed to stay close, even though Tiffany did things that made CariDee's friends snicker, and CariDee's expensive leather bags almost caused Tiffany's friends to strike.

CariDee was skipping down the hallway arm in arm with her best friend, Allison. CariDee was happy, as her boyfriend was taking her to the prom this year, and then she was pretty much going to be done with high school at the tender age of 17. Her parents had always told her that she was a clever one. With her boyfriend, Eric, being both rich and popular, just as herself, they were sure to be crowned king and queen at the prom. CariDee giggled at Alli and tugged her closer as they passed Alli's flirt. "He'll ask you out, I'm sure," CariDee told Alli happily, content with the fact that the girls would both have handsome dates at the prom. "Let's go dress shopping this afternoon?" Alli suggested in response. "Sure!"

As she stepped into Eric's dorm room that horrible evening a week later, CariDee met a vision she'd never forget. Her boyfriend all bloody and...and...
Next thing she knew, she was in an interrogation room, being questioned by a cop. He threw an envelope on the table in front of her. "This is a statement from your friend and a report from her doctor. Allison is pregnant, and she says that you lost it, when you discovered that Eric was the father. She says she never expected this from you, though. What were you doing between 15:00 and 17:00 yesterday?!" the cop yelled at her. "I...I...I was home, studying. We have an English test tomo...today. I wanted to be sure to get an A." CariDee stared at the blank wall across from her, knowing that other cops were staring at her through it. "Can anybody confirm that?" the cop demanded. "No. I was alone." CariDee suddenly turned towards him, half screaming: "I didn't do it! I'D NEVER KILL ERIC! I didn't even know that Alli was pregnant! She's a liar!"
'White...is this...heaven?' CariDee thought, as she forced her eyes open, even though her lids felt heavy like rocks. She slowly realised that she was just in the hospital. How..? Oh, right. She had thrown a fit...as far as she recalled, they'd given her something to make her relax. Where was everyone? Tiffany and her parents..? CariDee pulled herself up in a sitting position. As far as she could tell from the talking outside her door, an officer was watching her. She leaned back with a sigh and looked out the windows...and realized she was on ground floor. Were they stupid? CariDee slowly got up on her feet - she wasn't even handcuffed to the bed. She smirked, as she opened a window. She looked back for a moment, already missing her family. She wanted her mom to hug her, while her dad told the officers to back off. And why in the world wasn't Tiffany already here to support her..? They weren't protecting her anymore... She knew all the evidence was against her, and she was looking at lifetime. She bit her lip, taking an insecure step back towards the bed...then felt an inner strength fill her. The same strength that made her sister ignore laughter and bullying everyday. She forced back the sob coming up her throat and slid out the window...

Culpa stepped out of the hall, into the sun, putting on her glasses. She pulled her back onto her shoulder and walked down the sidewalk towards the bus. She missed her old life with expensive designer bags, expensive cars and expensive friends. Now she had fake designer bags, the bus...luckily, she still had her Papku. Yeah, that was just lovely. She looked over her shoulder at the university, sighing deeply. Law. She never thought she'd have to study law. She always thought she and Alli were going to travel the world after high school...hadn't turned out like she wanted. She smiled a bit, feeling like life was ironic. First time ever she didn't get her way...and it was something important like this. Culpa nodded at a few of the other students and headed on her way again. At some point, she'd go back and prove herself innocent. But she'd have to know all about law first, since nobody else believed her innocence. She stretched her fingers in her gloves, hoping that she'd one day be able to take them off and allow herself to leave fingerprints again...someday...
