They Gave Me Six Dollars and a Trip Alone: So I Vanished

The SATs were over. My brother got into community college. My sister got into a low-tier college.

I was the only one in the family who made it into a top-tier university.

When the scores came out, my parents were so thrilled they announced in the family group chat that they'd send us all gift envelopes.

I opened mine. It was $6.66.

But I didn't think much of it. We weren't a well-off family, after all.

Not until the two of them posted to social media at the same time.

In the screenshots, the envelopes they'd each received were $666.
