She was not poor, only not rich enough. She was not on food stamps, only sometimes there were holes in her clothes and the preppy girls laughed. (It was before grunge became popular.) Pretty evil. The holes would not be there forever. Some of the girls she felt most comfortable with, for some reason, the preps called them "the hos." Friends with the hos. That could be a title. She was a bit too nerdy to be a ho herself. But she didn't make good enough grades to be a smart kid. Just always reading books. The hos saw in her the potential for a makeover.
