Deadly Partiality

The holiday before the final year of high school was short, but for me, it was enough to go on a study tour in Riokiye.

Jessica told George and Megan in an envious tone that she had never been to Riokiye either, and that she would study hard and take them with her in the future.

Hearing this, they praised her for being sensible and bought her a plane ticket to Riokiye overnight.

After Jessica found out, she excitedly hugged their arms and said coquettishly, "Mom, dad, you are so kind to me!"

"You can consider it as a reward for getting into the advanced class. In the final year of high school, you won't have time for traveling."

They never mentioned how she got into this advanced class.

Ever since our last fight, George and Megan no longer cared about my feelings. They even bought the plane tickets two days earlier than me.

On the morning, before the three of them set out, Jessica sneaked into my room while I was washing up.

When I returned, I happened to see her holding a wet and soggy invitation letter.

She opened her big, innocent eyes and said to me, "Mia, I didn't mean to. I wanted to bring you a glass of juice before I left, but I accidentally spilled it. I immediately wiped it with a tissue, but it got worse the more I wiped it."

Jessica was about to cry when Megan saw my indifferent expression. Then, she scolded me, "It's just an invitation letter, so why are you looking at Jessica so fiercely?"

George turned around, picked up the luggage, and said nonchalantly, "It's a good opportunity for you to stay home and study. You didn't get into the advanced class, so you have to work harder."

I didn't utter a single complaint until they were out of my sight.

I had excellent grades in my previous life and with the review I was doing now, I was confident that I could be admitted to a key university even if I didn't get into the advanced class.

Jessica posted photos of them at Disney on her Facebook.

She dressed up like a little princess holding a big cake in her hand, with the caption: [To be the little princess loved by my parents in the happiest castle in the world.]

Many classmates had praised her, while others had raised questions and commented below about why I was not included.

They didn't know that I didn't even have anything to eat at home.

It didn't matter. I firmly believes that as long as I worked hard and got into a good university, I could change my future and got everything I wanted on my own!
