“I’m only doing it for your own good, Becky! You’re addicted to spending! You have to learn how to say no!”

“I can say no!” I practically spit in fury. “I can say no whenever I like! I’m just not choosing to say it right now! I will take one,” I say to the confused-looking woman. “In fact, I’ll take two. I can give one to Mum for Christmas.”

I snatch two boxes and defiantly put them in my trolley.

So there.

“So you’re just going to waste fifty pounds, are you?” says Jess contemptuously. “Just throw awat money you don’t have.”

“I’m not throwing it away.”

“Yes you are!”

“I’m bloody not!” I retort. “And I do have the money. I have plenty of money.”

” You’re living in a total fantasyland!” Jess suddenly shouts. “You have money until you run out of stuff to sell. But what happens then? And what happens when Luke finds out what you’ve been doing? You’re just storing up trouble!”

“I’m not storing up trouble!” I lash back angrily.

“Yes you are!”

“No I’m no–”

“Will you two sisters just stop fighting for once!” interrupts an exasperated voice, and we both jump.

I look around in bewilderment. Mum isn’t here, is she?

The suddenly I spot the woman who spoke. She isn’t even looking at us. She’s addressing a pair of toddlers in a trolley seat.

Oh.
