Chapter 38

“Mom, didn’t you remember I’m allergic to sugar coke?” I asked, looking straight at my mom.

She hesitated. “I’m sorry. I… Grace, but Ashley is your sister.”

I was confused. “What about my room?”

My heart sank. “Why did you have to take my room then?” I muttered, trying to shrug off the frustration. “Never mind. I barely made it into the advanced class as it is. I’m no teacher. Sorry, but the class is calling.”

With that, I shook off her hand and bolted out of the school

cafeteria.

In my previous life, I tried to impress them with my grades. When I brought home a perfect score, my mom just said, “I know your grades. Are you proud of a one–time thing?”

Ashley scored an 85 and it was like she won the lottery. They even took her to Happy Valley for a blast.
