My Five-Dollar Guardian Angel

Summary

I’m Lily. The unloved, "real" daughter, shipped off to an elite prep school, Crestwood Academy, where someone was always trying to make my life hell.

Until the day I got cornered in an alley by a girl with a rainbow-dyed undercut. She was shaking me down for protection money.

"I don't take your money for free," she’d growled. "You're in trouble, you call me."

So, the next time the school's queen bee, Madison, had me cornered, I shakily dialed that number.

"Hey, Janky? It's Lily. Help..."

Who knew? For the price of a lemonade, she actually meant it.
