Traveling a Thousand Miles, but Not for Me Chapter 9
I couldn't remember how I got home that day. But from then on, my family never tried calling me from other people's phones again.At last, peace and quiet returned to my life.Every day, I ran my experiments and then went over to Mr. Turner's house for dinner."I'm telling you, even if you're busy with experiments, you still have to eat. Faith can't even get you to listen to her anymore."I felt a little embarrassed by Mr. Turner's nagging. I could only keep my head down and shovel food into my mouth.Faith jumped in to explain. "Dad, we were only late today because I was working on a set of data."Mr. Turner snorted in exasperation. "Neither of you is any better than the other. Once this project is finished, you two had better get your paperwork ready, because you'll both be going back to the college for internships.""Huh?" I said in surprise.Mr. Turner tapped me lightly on the head. "You should keep a position in college. That way, you'll have another option open to you in

Somehow, Audrey had found out where I was staying. She waited for me on my way home after I finished my experiments in the lab.She was wearing a trench coat, her figure looking noticeably thinner. The moment she saw me, her dull eyes lit up.I moved to the side and looked at her as though she were a complete stranger.Her heart sank. She grabbed my hand tightly and said, "Thomas, you've lost weight."I looked up at her. "Not as much as you have."She really had lost a lot of weight. Moreover, dark circles shadowed her eyes, as if she hadn't had slept well in ages.Audrey let out a bitter laugh. "I've been looking for you everywhere. I've already kicked Steve out."I gave a noncommittal hum, as though she were telling me something that had nothing to do with me."So?"Her chest heaved as tears welled up in her eyes."Can you please forgive me? We've been through so much together, and we even made it through the stress of retaking the exams. I thought we'd be together forever.

Audrey stared at the silver ring for half a second before frantically calling me.I answered, only to hear her voice on the verge of breaking."Thomas, where are you? Aren't you coming back to our apartment anymore?"Faith glanced at my phone, then tactfully stepped away.I cleared my throat and said seriously, "No, I'm not. We broke up, and I've already taken all my things."There was a brief silence on the other end. When Audrey spoke again, her voice trembled."But I never agreed to break up."I let out a scornful laugh and replied in the same tone she'd used with me before, "Stop being so unreasonable. I don't need your permission to break up."Mom's voice cut in, and the air of superiority she'd had earlier was gone."Thomas, are you upset because we didn't sit in your section? We didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry with us. Where are you? Audrey is heartbroken right now. Can you really bear to put her through this?"Dad chimed in, "That's right. We're worried about

"If I were in Thomas' shoes, I wouldn't want to admit that my parents had chosen to celebrate my younger brother's graduation instead of attending mine either.""Poor Thomas. But why have I never heard Steve mention that he has an older brother?""You didn't know? I asked Steve about Thomas once, and he said he didn't even know him.""Are they really on such bad terms?""With parents who play favorites like that, how could Thomas and Steve possibly get along?"Hearing the accusations, Mom snapped angrily, "What do you people know? Thomas is the one who doesn't know how to appreciate what he has!"Audrey looked at me with disappointment. "Thomas, did you really have to take things this far? You know this is going to hurt Steve!"I steadied myself. She cared only about Steve, not sparing a single thought for how much I was hurting too.Seeing what was happening, Mr. Turner spoke up disapprovingly. "This is a graduation ceremony, not a place for you to shout and argue. Security, p

Mom jolted upright in her seat."Thomas? The valedictorian? How is that possible?""Maybe it's just someone with the same name, Mom. Don't make such a fuss," Rebecca said.Dad chimed in, "Exactly! Thomas could never—"Before he could finish, I stepped onto the stage amid thunderous applause.Their eyes widened as they watched me walk out in my graduation gown. I stood tall behind the microphone and cleared my throat."Hello, everyone. I'm Thomas Kaufman, a 2026 graduate in Biotechnology and Engineering."Mom's face flushed red, then drained of color. For once, she was at a complete loss for words.Audrey's mouth fell open as she stared at me wide-eyed.Dad and Rebecca exchanged a look, then swallowed nervously."How is this possible?""Is Thomas really that outstanding?"Steve's face turned deathly pale. Seeing everyone's attention fixed on me, he clenched the hem of his shirt.It wasn't until I finished my speech that they slowly began to recover from the shock.Mom's sh

When I woke up the next morning, I saw a message from Audrey."Steve felt so guilty about what happened yesterday that he couldn't sleep and kept messaging me all night. Are you happy now? It's just a ring, for crying out loud."How did I never realize you could be so petty? Go apologize to Steve, and we'll put this whole thing behind us."I turned off the screen and flipped my phone face down.When I went downstairs, I ran into Mom and Dad, who had driven over to help Steve move his things.Their expressions stiffened the moment they saw me. Then, as if they'd just remembered that I had things to move too, they said, "We'll come help you after we finish moving Steve's things."I knew perfectly well that helping me had never been part of their plan.I waved a hand dismissively. "Don't bother."Just then, my phone rang. The movers I'd hired had arrived. Mr. Turner had recommended them, and he'd even helped me find an apartment close to the company I'd be working with on my new p
