I grumbled as I strolled out the University Bookstore. I, alongside all the other students shopping here, were cheated, yet again, and there wasn't much we could do about it. I didn't understand why textbooks needed to be so expensive—and why buybacks were a ridiculous rip-off: A hundred plus-dollars for a math book, and you only got twenty from sellbacks. Where was the fairness in that? College students were broke as is, why make our poverty worse? Huffing down the streets of The Ave, I vowed to never shop there again—or at Book Kennel. They weren't any better.
Author's Note:
Factoid: The official name of The Ave is University Way NE. The Ave, which is about 8 blocks long, is south of The University of Washington.
