Broken Vows by Tessa Montgomery

Chapter 81

Chapter81

The parent–teacher day came around.

Seeing my classmates with their parents, I felt a growing resentment toward Ashley. I often found myself wondering, who was the real child here, her or me?

No answers came my way.

I got the seat closest to the teacher’s podium.

Parents streamed in, and it seemed like everyone was staring at

me.

The whispers started, “Her parents are around, but why show up for one kid’s conference and skip the other’s?”

“What kind of parents play favorites like that?”

The headteacher walked in last, and the empty seat next to me didn’t escape her notice.

In my previous life, I sat there in the corner. Feeling all those eyes on me, I couldn’t take it and rushed out in a huff.

But this time, I didn’t dodge the glances. “Sorry, my folks can’t make it,” I told the teacher, who understood my situation and gave me a sympathetic nod.

After the conference, I packed it up and headed home, the same as always.
