After Roommate Bound Me to Balance-Discount System, I Bankrupted Her

When I went to pay my tuition, my bank card showed a balance of fifty dollars. But my mom had transferred a whole year's tuition to me just yesterday. I quickly asked her to send another year's worth. The moment it landed, I refreshed the balance and it dropped back to fifty. Meanwhile, my roommate, the one on financial aid, suddenly showed up decked out in designer labels, claiming her parents had worked their way up to riches. Then my mom transferred the money to me again.
