Chapter 5 My Sudden Disappearance

Author: Weirdo
To fulfill their promise yesterday and coax me into letting go of Cynthia's fault, my family woke up early the next morning and gathered outside my bedroom, ready to take a family photo with me.

I usually woke up at seven. But by nine, I still had not come out of my room.

My parents gestured for Gordon to knock. He walked over and banged his fist on the door, calling out, "Yesenia, wake up. It's time to take the family photo. Hurry up. All of us are expecting you!"

    After learning the truth, my parents were furious. Without hesitation, they slapped Cynthia across the face."You've ruined us, Cynthia." Heartbroken, they glared at her, desperate to skin her alive.They ended the party early, dragged her home, and grounded her.Before shoving her into the room, they warned her, "We'll only let you out once you've reflected on what you've done!"After punishing her, they reached me through the college counselor.Originally, they hoped that throwing a party in my name could reconcile our relationship. They had never expected it to turn out a mess.Most guests at the party saw right through Cynthia's scheme and mainly condemned my parents.However, once the gossip spread, the story became distorted. In the end, I was painted as a horrible person who lacked both intelligence and kindness.During the call, my parents tearfully expressed their regret.Gordon apologized to me on the other end of the line. "Yesenia, you need to believe that Dad and

  • They Never Chose Me   Chapter 9 Caught Red-Handed

    What appeared on the screen was not the collection of clips my parents had gathered to show my hardworking moments.Instead, it showed me snapping at my family when I discovered the drugged milk the other day.However, my evidence against Cynthia had been deliberately edited out, leaving only my harsh words.To any outsider, I appeared to be arrogant, unfilial, and vile.Sure enough, the guests began to exchange whispers among themselves.Cynthia expected the guests to criticize me, but they targeted our parents instead."It is the other daughter, isn't it? She's so unruly and lacks manners!""That's right! It's her parents' responsibility to discipline her! It's their fault if she has grown into a rude girl.""Exactly. It disgusts me that not only are they unreflective, but they also publicly humiliate their child. They aren't letting the girl live this down, are they?"The banner at the entrance drew someone's attention, and a possibility occurred to them.They voiced it lo

  • They Never Chose Me   Chapter 8 The Calm Before the Storm

    The fact that I had scored higher than 1500 finally encouraged my parents to reach out to me.When I did not answer any of their calls, they sought my classmate for help.However, I hung up as soon as I recognized their voices. I firmly refused to return home for the party they deliberately hosted to celebrate my entry into college.Heavy silence enveloped the house for days.Finally, Cynthia spoke up. "We should seize the opportunity to celebrate in Yesenia's name even though she isn't coming home."She suggested that they should still host the party as planned. They could always claim my absence was due to having to report earlier to attend training for top freshmen.My parents did not think twice and agreed to her idea.After all, they could not miss the chance to brag about my achievement to their relatives and friends.Moreover, they put on a grand display by canceling the reservation at a modest hotel originally intended for Cynthia and moving the celebration to a luxurio

  • They Never Chose Me   Chapter 7 Celebrating My New Life

    While everyone back home was regretting their choices, I had arrived safely at Gloriana.Because of my outstanding academic performance, the university offered me a tuition reduction and a scholarship.Besides, I had saved some money from the part-time jobs I worked during school breaks. At the very least, I would not have to worry too much about my living expenses for the next four years.There was still a month left before school started.Other than adapting to the environment, I gave myself a glow-up.I had kept my hair waist-length for eighteen years. However, a few days ago, I cut it to shoulder length. The new style made me look much sharper.I never liked wearing my hair long, but Cynthia had always kept hers long.Whenever we showed up together, people would praise the long-haired Cynthia for her beauty. Then, they would laugh at my short hair and decide that I was undesirable because of my boyish look.To avoid their mockery, I wore my hair long as she did, and even sw

  • They Never Chose Me   Chapter 6 An Unexpected Twist

    "Mrs. Smith, Yesenia applied to Gloriana University and has already been accepted. By the way, she departed yesterday for early registration. Didn't she share the news with you?"Mom could no longer hear anything else Ms. Roberts said.Her mind was busy processing the fact that I was not only away from home but also far away.After a long while, she snapped out of it.'Something isn't right. Yesenia has average grades. At most, she can only meet the enrollment conditions of a local college. There's no way she made it to Gloriana University…' Doubts crept into her mind.She still tried to deny it. "Ms. Roberts, there must be a misunderstanding."Ms. Roberts found Mom's doubts both amusing and offensive.She chuckled. "Are you for real, Ms. Roberts? How could you know nothing about your own daughter's grades? Sure, Yesenia wasn't doing quite well at first. However, she worked hard to improve herself during the second semester and climbed to the top. She performed beyond expectatio

She immediately raised her right hand and swore, "It wasn't me! I didn't do anything! You can check the surveillance camera if you are not convinced!"Although our parents had sided with her during our confrontation yesterday, they
