More!

The crowd was not pleased.

"Anyone can toss away some jewelry, or shoes."

"Yeah, why don't you show you really care, like your sister and mother!"

"Yeah!"

"B-but... my stuff was worth more..." Lauren answered meekly. Why is everyone being so mean to me on my special night?

The crowd angrily booed her.

"She doesn't really care!"

"She's a phoney!"

"You're worse than Bono!"

Vanessa and the gang smiled (and scratched themselves), this was going far better than they had anticipated.

Lauren was completely bewildered. She wasn't used to being treated like this. She was the popular girl that all the boys wanted to be with and all the girls wanted to be. All the angry voices and shouting were getting to her, and in a moment of weakness, with tears in her eyes, she turned to her family, wordlessly asking them for help.

Unfortunately Lauren had a terrible family.

Vanessa could smell the blood in the water and decided to twist the knife just a little more. "I never realized you were so selfish Lauren. It's just a bunch of stupid clothes. I thought you were better than this. You can buy more."

"I think you need to show them you really care, sweetie," Michelle, her mother chimed in. "Why can't you be more like your sister? She cares..."

Mary the maid simply nodded her head, too embarrassed by her own nakedness to speak.
