Summary: Charlotte made her decision.
Warnings: racism and classism.


Charlotte made her decision long before senior year of college; that was just when she told everyone.

When had she made it? Before college, certainly. Before high school? Elementary? The divide between rich and poor was obvious as early as kindergarten; it was just as obvious which one she resembled. Then there were her cousins, other Latinas, maybe not poor but nothing like her. The Mexican girl at the party was never a guest.

So she'd go it alone. She wouldn't be the poor little rich girl nobody wanted.

Her mother didn't fight her, but then, who else could understand?
