I Was Meant For More Chapter 13 Above the Clouds
My mother turned the transcript over to make sure there was nothing on the back, then flipped it over again and read it from the beginning one more time.Then, she took off her glasses and wiped them clean. She folded the transcript, walked into the bedroom she shared with my father, opened the top drawer of the nightstand, and tucked it all the way in the back.That drawer held every important exam record I had ever brought home, from elementary school math competitions to my SATs.I stood in the doorway and watched her put it away before she gently closed the drawer.The three of us sat around the table during dinner. We ate quietly, and the only sound we made was the soft clink of dishes.Halfway through the meal, my mother suddenly said, "Silas' family moved away."I kept reaching for the food without even flinching."His mom came to say goodbye last month. She said he repeated his senior year, got into an average state university, and left for school in another state."She
I Was Meant For More Chapter 12 Looking Up
The military uniform was the one my father had brought home the year he left the service. The shoulder epaulets had faded almost white from wear, and one of the collar buttons was missing. So, my mother had sewn on a new one with dark blue thread, her stitches tiny and neat.I folded the uniform carefully and tucked it beneath my pillow. When I lay down to test it, the pillow was just a little higher than usual.My phone lit up again. Everyone in the class group chat was posting photos of their college dorms.Someone shared the view from Bradford University's Redbud Hall, showing us the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. It was filled with lush green trees and buildings in the distance.Someone else posted a photo from Oakridge University's Cherry Blossom Hall, and the roof of the old library could be seen through the window.Another person shared the lawn in front of Westbridge University's Brightwood Hall. The evening sun stretched across the grass, bathing everything in a

"You're going to the Defense Technology Institute! You've already got everything you ever wanted! Why do you have to ruin our lives too?"I yanked my arm free from her grip and took a step back, letting the doorframe stand firmly between us."Rachel, you changed my college application behind my back, humiliated me in front of everyone at the graduation dinner, posted those videos to turn the public against me, and now you've come here asking me to lie for you."You walked down the steps to hell without my help. Now, lie in the bed of roses you made."The look in her eyes grew even more unhinged. She pointed at me, her voice rising to a shriek. "This is all your fault! Why were you always the top student? Why did my parents always compare me to you?"Why did someone as outstanding as Silas have to stay stuck in second place because of you? Why?"I looked at her. "That's simple enough. It's because I worked harder than you. That's all."Then, I looked at Silas. "As for our 18 year
I Was Meant For More Chapter 10 No Going Back
When Samantha spoke, her voice was cracked with tears. She was also trembling so badly that she could barely get the words out. "Sonia, I'm begging you. Bradford University sent a rescission notice. They said both kids had engaged in misconduct."They'll still have a chance if they take a gap year and apply again. But… what university is ever going to accept their applications if this disciplinary action becomes official?"Rachel's mother, Natalie, grabbed my mother's hand so hard that she nearly stumbled forward in the effort.Natalie's voice shook so badly she could hardly finish a sentence. "We'll pay whatever compensation you want. Just name your price. Please just write a statement saying it was all a misunderstanding. That everyone was just joshing around. They're so young. Their lives can't end like this."Silas' father, Kevin, stood in the back without saying a word. His shoulders were hunched, and his hands were clenched so tightly his knuckles had turned white.Rachel'

I looked at them over for two seconds before finally saying, "So, the first thing you did after getting out of detention was to come here and ask me to take the blame and clear your names?"Silas panicked and took another step toward me. "My life will be ruined if this stays on record! What's so hard about posting a statement? It's not like it'll kill you!""Did you ever think about what would've happened if I'd actually ended up at a community college when you changed my college application? Did you ever stop once to consider whether my life would've been ruined?"Rachel's face turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled as she reached toward my arm, but I quickly pulled my hand away. "Sonia, you can't be this heartless. We're begging you. We won't ever bother you again after this. Isn't that enough?"I straightened my spine as I retorted, "You spent seven days in detention because you broke the law. Whether or not I post a statement has nothing to do with it. You stained your own reco

"I was afraid you'd just end up getting even angrier," I replied.My mother looked at me with her red rimmed eyes, her lips pressed into a tight line.She turned her head away and wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve. She did not cry, but the tip of her nose had turned bright red.She inhaled deeply, pushed open the door, and walked ahead of me.That night, my father sat in the living room for a long time.He usually went to bed at about 10 p.m., but the living room light was still on even though it was already midnight.I got up for a glass of water and saw him sitting on the couch without the TV on. His phone screen glowed with screenshots of the online abuse directed at me.He scrolled through them one by one, his face expressionless.When he heard my footsteps, he looked up. "Sweetheart.""Yeah?""Didn't you say you had evidence? Bring it out. I'll go to the police station with you."I stood there for a moment. Then, I went back to my room and downloaded the three
